Europe, Boring Until it's Not

[Montegriffo]

This from the same person crying in the Trump thread about someone calling him a name. Nice.

Someone shoot this fucking chihuahua before he bites my ankle again.

Cry about being called a name, then call for someone on the forum to be shot. You never stop being a hypocrite do you?

The example you are talking about was where I pointed out that insinuating I had Downs syndrome was not an argument. Pointing out that a teacher didn't know the difference between volt and vault is an argument for better teaching standards.
Now scuttle off and nip someone else's ankles or better still post an actual argument rather than a weak arsed ''gotcha'' attempt.

The Irish elect a smelly pajeet as PM and the English will be electing a rapey doon cune next. Europe is run by women. It's time to write their failed society off as a loss.

Monty, you are the biggest bag of dishonest, hyocritical crap I have seen on this forum. You weren't trying to make an argument about teaching standards (in the Europe is boring thread), you were trying to insult another poster over a typo. What you did was a cheap gotcha attempt. Hypocrite once again.

He was raised Catholic and not a Catholic ...so means nothing ...

As far as grammar, who cares ? It's a forum not a published paper.

Your students' parents might care that their teacher doesn't know the difference between a volt and a vault, their and there and that you use ''an'' rather than ''a'' when putting it before a word beginning with a vowel.
How do you mark for grammar if you are so terrible at it?

I'm not a grammar teacher and I usually text messages on this forum. So there are couple of reasons why my post wouldn't be completely grammatically correct. I usually simply text the message out quickly with no regard for punctuation or capualization etc. I may have realized I used the wrong form of volt/vault if I stopped to reread what I typed. Now I've given you way more a response than you deserve, but hey whatever its a lazy day today. In any case I know the multiple usages for most words I use. Again though I don't typically care enough to spend much time proffrreading on forums. Do you always check your texts to people , even those you dont work for? Either way you should get the point I'vd made.

proffrreading is deliciously ironic, capualization is close enough but I'vd is way out there.
Yes, I do check my texts. Sometimes I miss things and have to go back later to correct things.
My profession is chef not teacher though and what you do would be the equivalent of me not tasting a dish before I serve it. I would never do that because I have pride in my job. You should try it, it's very rewarding to do a job properly.

It's not always your typing, and proofreading isn't perfect - shit the number of "typos" or grammatical errors I've seen in recent years *in major MSM news sites* seems to be increasing...

It's DUCKING ridiculous they don't have copy editors/proofreaders to catch it.

Auto-correct has done some pretty crazy shit on me over the years, like trying to type "economy" too fast, missing the 2nd "o" so I type "econmy", and somehow it's fucking best guess to correct that is... "namesake". Like WTF, that's not even close?

[GloryofGreece]

The fairly horrible state of writing is a real thing. And yes one shouldn't blame it soley or mostly on typos or autocorrect. I always have loved language /s in general and literature more broadly. I can express myself well but I would need good editors like most any writer if I ever published anything. Grammar is for a different mind than mine.

Hey Monty, explain this:

Newspapers like to sell their product?

Really? Ever heard of the term jackboot when describing a government?

It comes after former conservative minister Luc Ferry called for live fire to be used against the ‘thugs’ from the Yellow Vest movement who he says 'beat up police'.

[Montegriffo]

How many times have the police opened fire on protesters?
If it is zero, this is a non-story.

French police always carry firearms.
