Know you don't get it at all. A shit- stirrer is one who stirs shit. A brown thrasher is a state bird. By the way garnet can be interpreted in many ways.
If you don't have a thesaraus you can borrow one at your local library. By the way, I'm sure you computer probably has the capability to find the meaning of most words. Have you ever wondered why people say things that make no sense. Usually the are condescending thinking this is a form of intelligence.

I was not being condescending--I simply didn't know what your name meant. Sorry, I know next to nothing about state birds, and you are obviously an expert, so I will therefore bow down to your wisdom on that subject.

And, yes, I know what a thesaurus is, as I have an M.A. in English and worked as a professional editor for eight years. You know, thrasher, I could use this opportunity to correct your consistently bad spelling and even worse grammar--so poor that most of your posts are unreadable. But I think I'll refrain from doing so at this point. Afterall, there's no point in drawing attention to the obvious, now is there?

And BTW, there's no "e" in "utopia." Sorry, can't help myself.

ifeel you are wromg. Most people do not take the time nor effort to correctly spell each word. Neither do they worry a great deal about grammar.
If you would like, I will get out my harbrace college handbook,to better suit your needs. If you have a hard time reading my post, I am sorry , for I feel most fifth graders would be able to do so without much trouble. However, I am sorry if I have offended your attention to detail. I am also sorry you have a hard time helping yourself.

No, I believe you are "wromg" about that. Only people who are lazy, uneducated and/or stupid don't bother to worry about spelling and grammar.

Yes, they could. Probably because your writing skills are about at a fifth-grade level.

Ya know, this is sort of fun! It reminds me of the good old days when when LJ would constantly insult each other. I sure do miss that...

No, I believe you are "wromg" about that. I think you are calling the majority of the people using the celler lazy, uneducated and/or stupid. I don't feel i fit any of those categories. I took my four years of english and somehow managed to get out of college with a 3.5 gpa. I thought this was a philosophical site not an english tutorial. What exactly does this sentence mean." It reminds me of the good old days when when LJ would constantly insult each other." Who is "when"? Get a hold of yourself. You know superiority can sometimes be used to cover up inferior feelings about oneself.......

No, in my opinion, the vast majority of regular posters here are extremely intelligent. Other than the occasional typo, their posts are well-written and easy to follow. I've never corrected anyone's spelling or grammar here, nor had any inclination to do so.

It's a reference to humorous posts when LumberJim and I would take jabs at eachother in jest. It was fun--but somehow I'm thinking you might need a dictionary to find out what "humorous" and "fun" mean.

The vast majority. I see you must not be speaking of yourself. If you were honest, which I doubt is possible, the reason for your correction of my typos was the anger you felt at feeling so superior. Which I assure you that you are not. I find you neither humorous or fun.... I do as a therapist find you having a hard time dealing with some kind of inferiority complex. Have you ever considered there is more to intelligence than correct spelling and grammar? I doubt it. You appear to be an uptight -itch with a purpose of offending others intelligence. I have a Boston Terrier who I would be willing to bet is more intelligent than you think you are......

A thrasher. Isn't that the thing that goes round and round inside the round pool of a sewage treatment plant?

I'm not aware of that definition. Do you happen to work in a sewage plant? Just wondering.....

I have. Never could get used to the smell in the short time I was there. When asked, the employees would say, "You get used to it". Maybe I was not there long enough - which is good.
