Apparently, Scooter believes that using standard English when trying to
communicate is "elitist".

No, it's the pompous arrogance of insisting on it while tossing
things like "sute" out there that I find snobbish.

"Snobbish"? How doggish you are. dave's observation that you were unable
to understand a simple sentence could conceivably be labeled petty.

Petty's good. Yes Dave can be petty....he can be very petty.

The
garbled clump of words you vomited in reply, however, is a far cry from a
typo.

Do you really want to rehash Dave's sentence? Let's decode the following
logic statement and you get to add 2 paretheses any where you legally can.

Not A And Not B Or C

How many possible outcomes are there? Can you figure it out? I doubt it.
Can Dave? Obviously not. He can't find two outcomes to his comparable
sentence.
I'm sure that won't stop him from playing along though.


Snobbish?

Dave proved the scope of his snobbish attitude on the
catered lunch.
You and he have much in common in that regard.
You have no true basis for the airs you put on.

It might be supportable to claim it's hypocritical, in
some small degree. You are *so* lame, Scooter.

Everybody knows that invoking spelling/grammar is
surrender in the cogent realm anyway.

"Everybody knows" that?

Everbody who is interested in staying on point rather than scoring points.
That leaves you out.

The hubris of the marching morons never fails to
astonish. I don't "know" any such thing.

Why am I not surprised?

Nor do I know what "the cogent
realm" is.

No fooling, you've never been there.

To me, an abuser of standard English, a realm cannot be cogent. A
person or an argument can be cogent;
a realm can be small or vast,
imaginary or real, strong or crumbling. But "cogent"? That's a flea-bitten
misusage of common words.

realm:
2 : SPHERE, DOMAIN within the realm of possibility

within the realm of cogent arguments is the cogent realm

Works for me George. But I think misusage as applied
above is really a very poor choice.

Scott, I see your point but you're reaching. "Cogent realm" should be
"realm of cogency"--the other is really outside the realm of English.

BS. Prove it.

Personally I would argue with George about everything BUT spelling and
grammar. You're simply not on firm ground there.

Has he brought up anything else to discuss?
It's that or Arny with him.
He has a rather narrow scope of interest.
