Kimahri, no you don't want 12 inches.

Twin Daddy, I'm 8 x6 when soft and I've always been known as "whale dick".

Whale dick? Does it look like a whale or is it just because a whale is large? I've never likened a penis with a big fish. Maybe something to do with moby dick?

Well it doesn&#39;t look like a fish and it IS really large, but why don&#39;t you look up some of the redneck assholes that gave me the nickname in school and ask them&#33; Then you could peddle you hypno-babble to then and leave us alone.

And you didn&#39;t spell &#39;believe&#39; correctly, so I guess that makes you even.

A whale is a mammal, not a fish. Did anyone here go to University?

It is they are idiots. But who the hell cares :excl: I know what you meant. I have already been chastised for my frequent "mispellins", poor sentence structure and diction on another thread. It so nice to be in the good company of others. I&#39;m not quite sure how to improve on diction in writing, but someone posting here must know.

It has only been in the twentieth century that peole have gotten all beant out of shape about spellings. Go check out the people wriing in the 18th century. There were all kinds of spelling varients out there.

On graduate papers, I did use spell check and had others read it first. There were many drafts before I got to the one I turned in. But that was graduate school. This is not.

Most of us can tell the difference between typos and misspellings. Jonb meant "haha there idiots" like "ahoy there matey", I&#39;d assume, since he is freer of typos than most of us. I do try to proofread my posts before posting them, and at times my ego will force me to correct mistakes I find later, especially if the mistake will make my intention unclear, but not always. My biggest flaw is my run-on sentences, can&#39;t seem to get past that one&#33;

That was my point, Freddie. You&#39;ll also notice I didn&#39;t capitalize or include a period.

[post=278785]Quoted post[/post]​

Could someone translate that sentence for me? As I understand it, he&#39;s saying some fish are mammals, even though fish by definition are exothermic and mammals by definition are endothermic.

Don&#39;t sweat it, Jana: at least you use punctuation marks. those sentences that just go on and never have a punctuation mark not even a period at the end of a sentence bother me do u know the ones i mean i usually cant even read them cos they make my head hurt my poor brain has trouble desifering what was intended have these people not have English classes or did they just sleep through them maybe there keyboards don&#39;t have a period or a comma I have noticed tho that they do throw in a &#33; from time to time i cant be the only one who has noticed this do these kind of sentences git on nebody elses nerves

Usually, the spelling is worse than in my example.

Well, one thing about being an English teacher: You learn all kinds of creative spellings.

True. The two words that I&#39;ve seen misspelled most often in my classroom are the same that I see misspelled here and elsewhere on the internet: &#39;definite(ly)&#39; misspelled as &#39;definate[ly]&#39; and &#39;tongue&#39; misspelled as &#39;tounge&#39;. And of course, the &#39;there/their/they&#39;re&#39; confusion is omnipresent.

I love this&#33; ... add: the difference between your and you&#39;re, peek, peak, pique... it&#39;s and its. What about the guys with a prostrate instead of a prostate, and a gland for a glans? Deformed?

Yes, here comes the Legion of Grammar Police. But God&#33; it&#39;s not easy to read stuff filled with typos/goofs/don&#39;t-know-betters. They mean well, bless their heart.

hehe my spanish teacher explained to us a while ago that english is the most ridiculous language in the world. It was actually pretty humorous (she used to teach like, 4 languages until lovely budget cuts came along) Anyway, she explained practically all the exceptions like in dOUGH cOUGH and thrOUGH all with different pronunciations of the "OUGH" She also said that anyone learning english who didnt know all the words already, could easily mispronouce something spelled like "ghoti" as fish...no one believed it till she proved it like this...take the GH from cough for the "F" sound. Next, take the o from wOmen (not woman) for the "I" sound, and then the TI from naTIon for the "SH" sound....pretty wierd, but amusing too, you gotta admit.

My personal bugaboo is redundancy. Examples:

ATM machine
HIV virus
with au jus

Another bugaboo I have has to do exclusively with technical writing. Do NOT include punctuation marks directly after a URL, pathname, UNIX&#153; command, or code. You can enclose it with double quotes, if you want. Only spaces, not hyphens or slashes, can wrap, too.

Then you&#39;ll love this: I worked briefly at a call center for a telephone company, and a customer called to inquire whether we offer voice mail. One of our customer service representatives told her, "Right now, we don&#39;t currently offer that feature at the present time as of yet. :blink:
