Long live the English Subjunctive

[Sethomas]

Would to God that we forsake our Indo-European linguistic heritage by seeing the death of the subjunctive. Lest we denigrate our tongue by acquiescing such expressions as "I wish I was richer", let the subjunctive see a renaissance. May not the subjunctive be annexed by the conditional, nor mistaken for the past.

[ziggytrix]

No, let's all learn Esperanto!

[kahljorn]

Que fiesta music.

[Pharaoh]

I wish I were better educated, then I might just understand this load of bollocks.

[mburbank]

Yeah, those are pretty big words for a mongrel. Never mind the Bollocks, Phagroah.

[Pharaoh]

Er yeah, I was being ironic butwank. I don't suppose you noticed, but my grammar, 'I wish I were better educated', was actually quite correct.

[sadie]

aw. but you fucked up your punctuation. now, who's the idiot? huh?

[mburbank]

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the roar f the Jack Hammer you ought to be operating.

[Pharaoh]

Butwank, you quite obviously know Jack Shit about English grammar, and I don't really want to embarrass you with my superior knowledge. I mean, I am English you know. And it's my mongrel language after all. I suggest you avoid discussions about the English language and stick to what you know best, whatever that is. Maybe wanking. :lol

[Ant10708]

How many times has this guy used the same wanking joke?

[Pharaoh]

How many times has this guy used the same wanking joke?

How many times have you said nothing?

[Johnny Couth]

Everytime he doesn't say something.

That's really a paradox, how do you count how many times you haven't done something? It's an infinite number.

[The One and Only...]

Fuck grammar.

[Pharaoh]

Fuck this forum.

[Johnny Couth]

You'll have to buy us dinner first.

[Pharaoh]

I'll buy you all dinner, fish and chips maybe, but I'm afraid I can't possibly afford to feed butwank as well, it would be far too expensive.

[Johnny Couth]

Try and thrown in some more british stereotypes, I'm not convinced you're from the UK yet.

[kahljorn]

Actually, wasn't english originally a germanic language that was passed around like a cheap whore between various other languages?

[mburbank]

No, it was invented by the British, along with sex, chocolate, tea, gunpowder and everything else good. That's why their empire lasted forever and they are still shouldering the white man's burden with ease.

Oh, and the wanking joke, they invented that too. And the laughing emoticon, without which no one would ever know when someone else was being funny.

I'm kidding, of course. The British have much to recomend them. Just not their food, their teeth or Phagroah.

LOOK, PHAGROAH! HERE IS A LAUGHING EMOTICON SO YOU WILL KNOW I AM LAUGHING!

[kahljorn]

The british also invented furries and gay pornography. True story.

I don't see any emoticon, butwank, is it invisible? Are you sure you know how to do it? All you do is click on the emoticon of your choice and it appears in your post. It's easy.

And there's even one specially for you: :wank

[Dole]

here's one you should try: :hangman

[mburbank]

You didn't see the emoticon? Seriously? Huh.

Maybe it IS because I don't know how to use them.

Or maybe it's because I never use them, as I have faith in my ability to express myself using words and I am mocking you by printing the words

LAUGHING EMOTICON

Look. Phagroah, look! This is where I would put the MASTURBATING EMOTICON so you would know that I hold you in contempt.

But I think it's better to state that I hold you in contempt in words. Wehn I see your emoticon, knowing you're mongrel IQ is almost certainly lower than mine, I have to assume that all you mean is that you like Masturbating, even though it seems to cause you a degree of pain.

You should see a doctor. It isn't supposed to hurt.

[sadie]

i love grammar.

[Kulturkampf]

When you debate grammar, everyone is a loser.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Well now you're just trying to get quoted. :rolleyes

[Pharaoh]

knowing you're mongrel IQ is almost certainly lower than mine

Classic. It's your mongrel IQ, butwank, not you're. Knowing you are mongrel IQ doesn't make sense. When will you ever get that into your low IQ skull?

[mburbank]

I beg your pardon. I'm fairly sure there is no data at all correlating IQ and spelling ability.

I have never seen a spelling question on an IQ test.

This is just further proof that you don't really understand what IQ is, you simply equate it with your very narrow idea of intelligence.

What would you do if I suddenly started spelling well? What would you have to say to me? It is your only accurate criticsim, and I fault I copped too years before you reared your ugly mongrel head.

Let me make it easy for you.

I AM BAD AT SPELLING.

Now it's your turn. Admit you are a moron, and we'll be even.

[Pharaoh]

Ok, I admit you are a moron.

[mburbank]

You now what? My bad. All along I've been thinking this thread was titled
"Long Live the English Submissive". I don't need to be writing to you at all. what a waste of time. I have to get my glasses fixed.


ME WITH MY GLASSES NEEDING TO BE FIXED POSTING NEXT TO A GUY MASTURBATING SO HARD IT IS HRTNG HIM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PHAGROAH EMOTICON!!

LAUGHING EMOTICON!!
