I have't sniped at you about anything at all lately. Elizabeth -- And it never occurred to you any of the times in the last 4 or 5 months that you did I didn't respond? I had you killfiled, and darn AOL for taking that ability away from me anyway! Need to have Dude figure out why Mozilla's Thunderbird isn't letting me subscribe, and once again put you into oblivion as far as I am concerned. I appreciate your admitting to sniping at me tho, and it's amusing that you had no defense about the way you try to put me down! Caryn |

I had you killfiled, and darn AOL for taking that ability away from me anyway! No. I assumed you were ignoring me because I was ignoring you. I appreciate your admitting to sniping at me tho, and it's amusing that you had no defense about the way you try to put me down! I have no defense because it's a figment of your imagination. If I were out to prove my superiority over someone here, you, my little mediocrity, would not be my choice. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going back to ignoring you. Elizabeth -- After I killfiled you, you did snipe a few times, I know because I got one of the funnier ones emailed to me. One where you claimed I was uneducated or somesuch thing. Cracked me up, since I do have a college degree, even if I do not actually use it professionally. You just started to "ignore me" because I didn't snipe back and that took away your "fun." Caryn |

Caryn Come off it, Caryn, even you have to admit that we English have the monopoly on CORRECT English!!! (Even if we don`t always demonstrate it!!!) We haven`t been invaded since 1066 either. We`re talking about standard English, as used nowadays in any case - and VERY few countries have never assimilated words from other languages. That`s not really the point. Pat P |

It`s certainly more correct than the language you Americans laughingly refer to as English! ;-P Certainly there is no such thing as perfectly proper English. Many countries speak their own versions of the language, each claiming their own is correct. English a. & n. (language) of England The Oxford Guide to the English Language published by the Oxford University Press is the authoritative guide to the language, and 'Oxford English' is definitely correct. Our language may have been adopted and modified by other countries, but these are versions and not the 'real McCoy'. Historically, English has stolen words and phrases from many other languages (largely due to the fact that the Isle was invaded many times over the centuries). Obviously all my history books are wrong (even the Oxford History of Britain). I thought we always won. For any one person to try to control the way English is used here is, at the very least, a bit arrogant. Caryn As Pat said 'This is just a dead-casual, often leg-pulling - and nearly always spontaneous newsgroup, for heaven`s sake - not an exercise in Oxford English. If that was the criterion, no-one would ever bother to voice an opinion!' So how is that trying to control the way English is used here? I thought all versions as well as the Queen's English were accepted. Sally On her way to look under the bed for an invader. |
