It's un-fucking-believable; even in the goddamned library they don't
speak English and you have to figure out what the hell they're saying!!

Salespeople are another dunder-headed lot: even when it's written down
for them to read at their convenience, they can't make heads or tails
of simple instructions!

Forget about academia -- and it's not just the students! Ever see the
memoranda these idiots put out, from the most recent grad student tutor
to the longest-serving VP??

JESUS FUCKING
CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's just espeeka espanish already...'cause not even the whiteboys
know how to read!

Chuckle...yeah, I figured someone would go for the easy rebuttal,
prizing style over substance.

Fuck it...I suppose this is how "German" became "English" in the first
place, heh....

What a hypocrite! Missing your remote control? Try looking up your
ass.

I guess it's not so much a matter of "reading" English per se so much
as being honest. Yes, I suppose that's it. I think with a million
bucks at the end anyone can parse the densest passages of Hume or Marx,
but without the motivation people become quite sloppy in their thinking
and dishonest in their conclusions.

So you're either a moron or, more likely, just plain disingenous.

In either case, you're poor company, even for usenet.

Get hurt fucking yourself.

What's so ignorant about being pissed off that you can't even expect to
hear English in the library, of all places! You go to the supermarket
and nobody speaking English is bad enough, but this is the god-damned
library!!!!

No, wait, that's not even the worst of it...salespeople from the
Midwest...college deans and professors...nobody knows how to even
read!!! I ain't talking Socratic Dialogues here, fun as those are --
simple god-lousy instructions....

Oh Christ, why do I bother...people still can't program their VCRs

Actually, it's not. It's perfectly sound, as most English produced by
native speakers is.

"Fun" is often used as an adjective in American English (this is my
observation).

I cannot believe this stupid SOB is complaining about others' English

Whatever the merits or demerits of the rest of this purported
"discussion", there is nothing whatever wrong with "split infinitives",
a nonsense that has done more harm than any other (save, perhaps, its
partner in crime, the preposition ending a clause) in convincing the
general public that English grammar is a fraud.

That's not the point, is it? His criticisms would call for
squeaky-clean English, and his does not squeak!

Split infinitives? Gag me with a spoon! (Translation: I find split
infinitives exceedingly inelegant.) There is no need for them. Our
sister tongue, German, does not have them. Das ist ganz unmöglich! Why
should we? For the most part, it is the result of laziness and
excessive usage of verbs. Usually, the SI can be avoided by using a
noun instead of a verb.

"I wish to make this presentation quickly" instead of "I want to
quickly present".

Can you dig?

No, you moron -- my English was clean, even if you prefer it squeaky
(personally, the squeak comes from foreign substances, so I've always
considered the phrase an unfortunate misnomer).

But one doesn't even need perfect English to bemoan the fact of very
bad English. A thief is still better than a murderer, usually.

And your mother must have really enjoyed her rape by a gorilla to have
gone ahead with you! Or are you a botched abortion?

Listen, fuckface, I agree that the contemporary standards of English
are bemoanably low. There is no call, however, for talking that way
about your aunt.

The one who is pissed off is the one with the problem. Being pissed off
is the equivalent of ignorance because it says you're at the mercy of
your feelings, which you think are caused by something outside of you.

It's okay to be pissed off, just uncomfortable. Up to you how long you
stay that way.

Oh no! I take a 48 hour leave of absence from my favorite group and
suddenly a _new_ moron is in here. And he and our resident moron are

I wouldn't even have seen this new crassness from UC if this other
newcomer-moron had not quoted him in reply ‹ I kill-filed UC days ago.
Now I must do the same for a second person.

Or is it a second person? Intriguingly, they both chose capital letters
for a nick, they both post from Yahoo, headers from both disclose

Some examples might help to make your case, if you had chosen to put
one or two of those in, instead of a few dozen extra exclamation
points. (Did you think we wouldn't get the emphasis on the epithet?)
What librarian--"they"?--can't speak English? Or was it just English
with an accent you dislike or couldn't understand? What simple
instructions did the salesperson--"people"?--not understand? (Were the
instructions written in English? Or Janglish, Chinglish, Korenglish or
some other NearEnglish?) Which idiot--"these idiots"?--not in academe?
(And what grad student tutor is not in academe?) Finally, it's not
really everyone, is it?

How would speaking Spanish, or any other language, for that matter,
help? 'Cause [sic] people make mistakes in every language.
