Maybe it would help him if you'd use adjectives as adjectives. By the way, how's your Dutch?

1. Get on EHarmony and hook up with some equally vapid troll.
2. Buy an animal to talk to until it kills itself in traffic.
3. Join the Rotary or the goddamned Shriners.
4. Rent a ho or at least invest in a Golden Palace AZN massage, hopefully they won't speak english so you incessant dron ...[text shortened]... h youth group, I'm sure the next generation of Christian youth could do with your guidance.

Why? Why go through our lives and times guided by the poor and crooked rule of frozen rigidity. Noun is implied... 'necessary protocol or fashion'.

She's implying that you're an idiot for mocking someone for whom English is a second language.

You misread badly. Those I no longer consider worth saving I ignore. Straight talk only for my friends. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend."




Edit: Misspelling is also quite offensive, to both those who care about the integrity of language as well as Google.

We all realize you're having a mega bad day but for your own sake refrain from underestimating Nordlys. You're too emotional to be astute.

Because if you are making up your own language/grammar, you are less likely to be understood, especially if you are using words that few people whose native language isn't English are likely to know in the first place. And if it's your goal to be obscure, you shouldn't blame others when they can't figure out what you are saying.

Colloquial French not American-English is on the table. Certainly even a die hard grammarian, such as yourself, has some range of flexibility.

Try using it that way in French and see how far you get...
