And, of course, had the badly spelt post in question been in praise of Dee or one of his cronies, Dee would have let it pass without comment.
"Cronies," Jacinto? That's really rude. Don't bring Monty, Kim, Steve, the other Steve, or anybody else I like into this. [/b][/quote]
I didn't. The post to which I was referring was made by you before Kim and the two Steves joined LPSG. I don't remember you hanging with Monty back then either. For the record, I happen to like Kim and the two Steves.
'Crony' is not meant to be offensive. It simply means
close companion and is not considered a derogatory term. Your main crony at the time that you blasted Valerian's spelling and grammar was Sammygirly. That was before you visited 'LPSG Lite' and told her that she was petty and ignorant.
And if you don't feel like being a comedian, then why don't you admit that your proper English fetish gets ridiculously out of hand sometimes?
What fetish? I
rarely comment on anyone's spelling or grammar except when there's a misuse which makes a post unintelligible. My main pet peeve is actually punctuation, not spelling. Okay, misspelling
definitely jumps on my last nerve, but that's an exception.
In the meantime, if you feel the swell of grammar correction surge inside of you, write it down on a piece of paper and burn it.
Like you did when you blasted Romey's spelling and grammar in your
Reality Police thread, right?
Psst... kettles are black, not pots.
Psst... I have two very black pots in my kitchen.
'Cept the point I made earlier about you-see-how-it-feels-to-correct-people-all-the-time and when-it's-turned-on-you-then-you-don't-like-it. I meant that.
I don't mind it. I make occasional boo-boos because I'm human, and I accept that. When I make an error in grammar or usage, point it out. I'll admit it. Yeah, in that post to Nix I typed 'you're' when it should've been 'your'. It happens.
But you know as well as I do what my first post in this thread was about. I picked on you. It wasn't my first time, and I'm sure it won't be my last. Lord knows you'll pick on me again. The comment about your cronies is that you jump to the defense of your friends. That's commendable. But when my 'cronies' come to my defense, you think it's deplorable. The only reason you jumped on Valerian's post is because he said he liked me. Period.
