You make far too many English errors for Stratty to keep up, so I have volunteered to fill in a bit while he is on the other side of the ocean sleeping.

I don't have time to go through each and every error, so just provided a summary:

1. Misuse of Semicolons. These are used to separate two parts of a sentence when each of the sentence parts on either side of the semicolon can stand alone as its own sentence. For some strange reason, you seem to think semicolons are used before the word ''as."

2. Run-on Sentences.

3. Excessive Verbiage.

4. Misuse and Overuse of Ellipses.

5. Beginning a Sentence with a Conjunction.

6. Misuse and Inappropriate Use of Hyphens. "Puppetmaster" and "Judeochristian" should be, "puppet-master" (or puppet master) and "Judeo-Christian." "Far ranging" is correctly spelled, "far-ranging" and requires a hyphen. Both Christian and Judeo should also be capitalized.

7. Lack of Necessary Commas and Misuse of Commas.

8. Redundancy. Example: Instead of listing "study, research" as separate things, you could have just written either word, since they are synonyms.

9. Incomplete Sentences.


Keep working at it. You're welcome. :)

Like most great writers I LOVE editors.

Properly seasoned and roasted to a turn they can be an excellent source of protein in the diet

I think Stratti was already 'out' when it was placed in every fooking course pack.
Oh true Phenon,
Oh wait..May be uncle Stratty was stuck in bed sheets exhibiting his unprecended fabuloulsy amazing clear bracelet to impress a lovely young female
:handcuffs::flirt:
That would explain why he didn't pay any proper attention to what must be done to keep $cientology working.
He was into romantic self-abnegation!
:hysterical:

My guess is that uncle Stratty was a $cientology dilletante! :giggle:

Oh, are you claiming that 'controversational' is a typo? Pity, I thought it was rather impressive as portmanteau words go.

Your shameless (because that's what it is, shameless) bigging up of the fat bastard known as LRH debases you as far as I'm concerned. There's no reason why should you give a flying fuck whether or not I respect you William, but I'd have a hell of a lot more for you if you stopped this 'scintillating brilliance' nonsense and came to your senses as it makes you look like a perfect sucker. He was an inveterate con-man and he has you by the balls mate, and frankly, I'm embarrassed for you.
Birdie is very funny though!

Reading Birdie's posts, it seems like he assumes that putting a lot of crème Chantilly and cherry on top of a glass of vinegar will make it tasteful and thus the con man will appear as a genius and his delirium tremens and psychotic fabulations and bouffoneries will be taken for the great discoveries of the century. (actually yes, it was the great idea of the century to make a mafia fraudulent cult appear as a religion)

:D

Definitely scintillance brilliance style to talk about either $cientology or LRH is clownesque and embarrasing.

Well, having read that Sheila, you've got me so paranoid I doubt whether I'll ever write another post after this one. :biggrin:

Strat, seems you are getting dumped on all over the place lately....

How are you rubbing so many the wrong way?

I just don't see it in your posts....

What am I missing?

OH, it's Clay Pigeon...

:D
Yes, I seem to have acquired a reputation for being an argumentative c**t, especially among the noobs. The oldies here know me better than that.

Those days are long gone lotusblossom, it's Rosie P or nothing for me these days, and to be quite honest, most of the time I just can't be bothered

Me? Self-denial? In 1969? Not a chance. :biggrin:

No, far from being a dilletante (now there's a nice french word) I think I was regarded as being a bit of a tech zealot.

I remember KSW well phenom. If 'KSW series 1' is something else then you could be right about me being 'out'.

Yes, I know you're really a sweet, affable old gent in disguise, here to draw attention away from the biggest c**t on the Board.

Or maybe you're something in between, but you're funny and I think you're awesome. :love11:

(You're quite controversational, actually, and nobody I've known has ever done that before.)

Hey! Not so much of the old! As for the rest, thanks for the kind words.

:laugh:Good one!

Good morning, Birdy. :blowkiss:

That's a phrase at the beginning of the sentence, so it gets a comma after it, like this:

Properly seasoned and roasted to a turn, they can be an excellent source of protein in the diet.

(I always loved your visual descriptions, btw. )

No, mate. You have a lifetime appointment.

I'm just filling in the night shift, which will undoubtedly ensure all of ESMB begs to have you back as Grammar Nazi IC ESMB as fast as possible. ;)
