BG> Funny, if I'd fucked up, I'd have been the first to admit it.

RS> Pity you did fuck up and didnt admit it tho. Maybe you still
RS> dont even realise you did fuck up, who knows, who cares ?

BG> Quite obviously Rod, you do.

Just goes to show that whats 'quite obvious' to you
may have some problems with reality then dont it ?

Just think carefully about the distinction between
choosing to make some snide remarks and caring for
a moment. The distinction might eventually dawn on you.

Then there is the tiny distinction between the discussion on the
meaning of the word prosaic and this quite separate question of
whether you are faking or really are still ignorant of your error.

RS> Notice you never admitted you fucked up when you mangled from
RS> vocabulary to spelling either. Corse that was a joke, right ? |-)

BG> Don't even know what you're trying to say there.

Have a quote

FM> Ah, but it helps to be able to find just the *right* word,
FM> when necessary. I think people who tend to do a lot of
FM> writing tend to use more of their vocabulary, and possible
FM> have a larger one, than people who mostly communicate orally.

BG> I'd have thought so too, but Rod appears to have killed that theory.
BG> Either that, or he's simply the exception to the rule.  :)

FM> I guess I was thinking more of relatively 'formal' writing - memos, reports
FM> etc. I think this medium is a lot closer to conversation than writing.

BG> For the most part, I definitely agree.  Depends considerably upon
BG> the actual circumstances though, and to an even greater extent,
BG> the level of intimacy between those involved.  However, one must
BG> draw the line somewhere, and there is still absolutely no excuse
BG> for howlers such as fundermental, obscession, inditement, judgement
BG> (I don't have all night, but I'm sure you get my drift).

Pity that poor old Bill cant even manage to grasp
the distinction between vocabulary, which is what
was being discussed there, and spelling, which wasnt.

Fake away like mad when ready Griddley |-)

Funny, not a hint of a 'first to admit it' in my mailbase.
Maybe the gremlins ate it ? |-)
