Well, I am a card carrying Buddhist (since 1991 anyway) and you can spell it any way you like, as far as I'm concerned. I spell it the same way as you. I was just letting you know that zippyt is exempt that's all.

But when they get about half way up they'll find the inch.

Bad spelling is the easiest of solecisms to avoid. I avoid it pretty much perpetually, as my wetware spellchecker is a very good one.

Solecisms are bad; they make the utterer look stupid.

Ask yourself how badly you really need to look stupid.

Words like solecism are bad; they make the utterer look pretentious.

Ask yourself how badly you need to look pretentious.

And if you decide that you very badly want to look stupid go to UG and join all of the others who wish to learn at the feet of the master. They even carry signs.

UG, the sensei of stupidity.

I'd say something clever if I knew what sensei meant. But since I don't speak Japanese or Middle Chinese, I'll just shut up.

Now I know how badly several of you need to look stupid. Do you know who you are?

Solecism stands. Don't hate me for being better at English than you are. That would show that you are stupid. You are at liberty to use "solecism" on any who commit it.

Zippy, I'm going to assume you are smiling when you say that. Most of the folks around here, I can expect that I can give them enough of a fucksticking that they end up looking like unicorns -- having read the things they write.

If you think you're being sneered at, consider why you might get sneered at. Maybe somebody thinks you could really do better? Now, I don't have to sneer at anyone to feel good about myself -- that's actually easier if I'm not curling my lip -- so I'd really rather not. However, there is that slight difference between quality and abysm.

Write quality, spell well (no matter what it takes) and you'll be taken seriously even by the toughies and skeptics. Is this not so?

Zippy is a US Marine, we take him at his word and his word has weight. Your pose isn't helping your standing.

You are? Hmmm, I thought English, being a language, was a tool for communicating with other people.

Obfuscating with 50 cent words, then calling yourself superior (a favorite tactic of L Ron Hubbard), not only fails to make your intended point it alienates you from the people your trying to communicate with.

You may think your vocabulary proves superior intelligence but actually it shows (along with your attitude), lack of social skills.

So who's better at English, one that can impress the librarian or the one that can communicate with the most people?

Yep, it looks like a real 'slam dunk' to us.
