parkmoy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Parkmoy - interesting last quote on your post I happen to say I enjoy the good use of the English Language so must be one of the poor souls who find the English language used well a change from people who have to resort to expletives. - does not follow that I am impressed or unimpressed with the arguments. Carol. Carol. in my part of the world (Ireland) talking 's*1te' is an art form indulged in by all and sundry usually in drink. It is not considered an expletive. It means talking a load of nonsense just for the sake of it. My point is that some of the contributors here obviously think that dressing up their arguments in 'dictionary' English shows some sort of superiority. I base this on the fact that as the argument proceeds the language used becomes further and further away from everyday English and they obviously vie to outdo each other. That contrasts with most pub arguments where the opposite usually happens. The end result is the same - puerile insults. Not IMO the English language used well. I apologize if my use of the language offended you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer C 9. Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 parkmoy - 2008-11-20 5:57 PM All that is apart from the those poor souls who are actually impressed with s*1te wrapped up in flowery language. *-) Parkmoy I take your point, and I enjoy a good crack, and really don't mind what language is used, my point is and was and as I was the only one that said about liking the way Crinkly uses the English language it could only have been aimed at me, I found the 'poor souls who are actually impressed' quite patronising I may be many things but a poor soul ain't one of them. That said life is to short to carry on silly arguments about who said what, so as in a pub, its all forgot now - and just to show no hard feeling I'll have a guinness and blackcurrant please - I like the pink froth on the top. Carol. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol. That is so gross! The Guinness bit I mean. But please let me clear something up, I actually wasn't referring to you or any specific person. I was talking in general and not only about this particular thread. If you look at similar threads there always seem to be those who come out cheering on their favourite participant particularly when he/she appears to have swallowed the dictionary. I was always taught never to use a long word if a short one would do just as well so perhaps that explains my aversion to over elaborate language particularly when used to couch insults. It's so easy to give unintentional offence via email :-S That said I refuse to withdraw my remark about Guinness and black, that was completely intentional (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I could always enjoy being beaten into submission by kindness and warmth but no amount of cruelty or violence would ever turn me on so I'm afraid Miss Whiplash would be wasting her efforts with me - but it would have been a good laugh I suppose!
