Semantics, definitions, and gobbledegook teacher-speak

those blasted nuefkos. Don't even go there. They think that you have to have counter googkus and they put your left hand in a disturbing position...

Wow.. you brits really DO do everything reversed don't you? Over here its always the right hand.
 
to thneed or not to thneed that is the question.

I am reliably informed that in 1946 a nappapawa gentlemn called demi attended a yufcurd event in thneeds (Curdvill Mercury, 1946). The outrage that this caused was similar to that had he worn a pair of doohy without noono (speech by president Fuuur, 1946). My sources, (extensive use of the internet in the British Library, I will send my references later) describe that there was rioting. Afterall, the sight of a nappapaw in thneeds was a clear insult to some third generation pawpodistas.
the violence that ensued lead to the "teepee split", and these days it is frowned on very much in curdville to wear thneeds. However in Europe and the US it is perfectly fine and you should go ahead. I'm told that the yufcurd hardliners in Paris are regularly stopped by police, so you hould be safe.

Im sure someone will accuse me of being petty and picky over trite de-tales, but you have been mispeling "yufcurd" for this entire discusion.

TRADITIONALLY, it was spelled youghkurd, altho there were a few nayburhoods of the TRADITIONAL locality that spelled it yophkourd or yeophkord. "Yufcurd" is just a lazie basterdzation for peeple who won't lern to spel.

I know they'rl be sumone who gets there pantys in a bunch over this post. but I hate it when peeple wont' chek they're sppeling; and gramer; an punchasion; befor they post to a intrnet form. How dificult is it to do a litlle reserch?

BTW, Im not trieng to be hostil.. I just nede to make shur u no I no more about this than u do!
 
We seem to have a recurring "issue" as of late. Threads are getting hijacked in a way that is making the place less friendly, and thus is discouraging people from posting as often. IMO the posts below, more or less sum up the major issue(s) from a couple different perspectives.

As I see it, a few of the newer people don't like (what has been) some of the commonly used terminology around here, and appear to be expecting us to conform to how they say it should be. They also don't seem to understand that some of us aren't going to change how we communicate just because they say it is incorrect. This puts us at a stalemate.

Therefore, I am asking that arguments (or prolonged discussions) about disagreement in semantics, terminology, etc., be moved to this thread, thus enabling the other threads to keep the discussion on less inflamatory subjects (like tango).

This forum has always had a more friendly atmosphere than forums like Tango-L, and speaking for myself, I'd like it to stay that way.

If people have other suggestion for how to restore the atmosphere here to a more fun and friendly place, this is a good place to post those as well.

Why should I spend my time debating why people can't hold a respectful conversation?

I'm sorry but ignoring some people's posts is bliss. The concepts and opinion differences are not the problem, the way people behave is.

Yes, I actually came to that conclusion a few days ago and used the ignore list feature.

ok you win, I laughed so hard people stared at me, I can't match it! Brilliant!

Mario:
I think this is a classic example of "I don't understand it, therefore it must be bad/wrong" which entirely, entirely illustrates the point that was being made.

SCORE!! I WIN!!

:banana:

Seriously, spec, this has been the most fun I've had on this forum in awhile! Thanks and I look forward to your "real" posts on other threads. I always wished to see you post more. There are a few posters whose remarks are infrequent, but always insightful, and you are one of them.

With genuine respect,
zoops :D
