Ah Nicloe
I forgot to mention that i forwarded the following sentence , to several linguists... Btw: Did you know that multiple exclamationmarks are a sign of a severe lack of true arguements? They really were amused, one suggested to add it to his next book , as a new rule of the English lannguage. mirjam |

I also haven't really read any posts from her that have been rude and mean. Just fo the record... take care nicole I finally gave up on trying to communicate with Mirjam when she called me a hypocrite, mostly for daring to speak to her, and pointing out that she had shown my message to her various friends, all of whom were disgusted at me. Unfortunately, over the years I have witnessed Mirjam getting into online fights with numerous people. Yes, people have occasionally twitted her, but only after they got poked in the eyes once too often. (Once she got into a huge argument with a Dutch person, saying that she wasn't using her own language properly. She finally drove the poor woman away, triumphant, and never entertained the idea that beating someone into submission just might have cost her an online friend.) I could go on and on, but it just isn't worth it. I have certainly felt better since I stopped beating my head against that particular wall, but I rarely visit the ng anymore; it just isn't worth it. My choice, of course. Lynne |
