[Hostile]

All that and you left out toothless?

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

BARBER will be ready for this game.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I don't know what that is. But it can't be good.

So basically, The OL sucks according to ESPN

and we've had a 2 page fight about the use of the English language on message boards.

And you guys wonder why we're so popular

 

[Hostile]

I don't know what that is. But it can't be good.

Loosely translated it is Latin for "my fault, all my fault."

Your excused.

I don't think we are on here to impress people.
So what if he uses u instead of you? or cuz instead of because?

for ex:

hey guys u think i can borrow a dollar for a soda cuz i am really thirsty sorry for the trouble

bad grammar but i think most if not all can understand what i was trying to say.



Stop ripping the guy.

Its not the use of text talk that makes it gibberish

What if it said this instead

Hey guy i borrow dollar for soda i thirsty

I don't know what that is. But it can't be good.

Loosely translated, it's Latin for "I am guilty, I am SOOOOO guilty"... "culpa" is at the root of the word "culpability", which is a synonym for guilty...

i think thats the part this Grammar defenders are missing

he's not just using cuz instead of because

he's leaving out words, leaving out punctuation, and making us have to stick in words till his sentence makes sense.

If he wants people to respond to his topic with thoughtful and meaningful discussion he has to be able to at least get his topic readable. Other than that, you get this. An entire thread about the way he posts.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it rather offensive that other teams fans view Cowboys fans as illiterate, tobacco chewing, inbred, pickup driving rednecks. It's a stereotype that is flat out insulting to me.

Embrace The Stereotype?

 

[Hostile]

Embrace The Stereotype?

:laugh2:

Touche'.

[ajk23az]

why would i care if you read my thread

Well obviously if you dont want anyone to read your posts, you wouldnt post at all.

 

[dargonking999]

why would i care if you read my thread

then why post threads if you don't care if people read

 

[DemonBlood]

RIB might be posting using his phone. If not...Crazy.

 

[dogunwo]

Do you often find the truth amusing?? Or is logical thought so foreign to you that you find it comical??

Perhaps if you had given me a more intelligent response than "this isn't real life", I might have made an effort to give you a more gratifying answer... I might, for example, have pointed out that yes, even posting to a message board is part of "real life" for me, and judging by your post count, for you as well...

silver, i think you made your point, you are kind of going into overkill in this hijacked thread.

 

[BigDFan5]

why would i care if you read my thread

finally a readable post!

 

[silverbear]

silver, i think you made your point, you are kind of going into overkill in this hijacked thread.

Uhhh, at the time you posted this bit of criticism, it had been 16 hours since I'd posted anything in the way of grammar criticism to this thread... so what exactly was the point??

When somebody argues with me, I tend to argue back... silly me...
