I comprehended your lame question about my word choice and noted it an attempt at a criticism rather than an urge for discussion, so learn to read before you accuse me of any lacking in comprehension. I saw your previous post as well, and pointed out how stupid it was, to which you idiotically responded with a failed attempt at criticism.

Haha Prince, I thought that was a good reason.

It took all I had in me not to post that, but now that it's out there I can't help but agree.  It read like someone used the thesaurus feature on word at random.

 My, my, my... and I didn't even hand you the shovel, being your friend, and all.

Is this solecistic post, a demonstration of your prowess and command of English?

As for my view on the topic at hand, read my post, then re-read it. You'll eventually get it.
Comprehensibility is a fairly important prerequisite to comprehension. You have neither.

A thesaurus for this post? Really?

Haha, indeed!

sophos,
You're pretentious as fuck.

As demonstrated here:

medjai,
You need to break up your sentences.

Oy:

---

Congratulations on confirming my suspicion that you somehow take attempts to improve your understanding or your own word choice as attacks on your intelligence rather than simple bumps of friendly advice.

---

And

---

I was pointing out the undeniable ignorance and hubris required to presume knowledge of how one's integrity or sworn courses of action might be conducted on in such a situation as grave knowledge were presented to them, bare and in a state of need for immediate action (I hope this is clearer as certainly I was rambling before).

---

And next time, sophos, don't be an ass. You attacked medjai unfairly; he was just making a point.

"You've changed." "No, I haven't." "Then why do you look so?"

I'm way too arrogant and self-centered for that kind of shit. If I make a mistake I assume no one cares because I wasn't posting to impress with lol punctuation, I was posting to make a point.

That's something you need to learn to do, Sophos.

Prince don't mention the fact that while he chided me he decided to start his sentence with And, I just didn't really care enough to say anything because of how lame he was already.

---

Well honestly does he expect me to proof read my shit or something?

Show me a reason why you can't start a sentence with a conjunction.

Dude, why are you being such a prick? I haven't insulted your intelligence.  

Your grammar is impeccable: no worries. I didn't call you on that. Your style, however, wasn't great. Now, I calls them when I sees them. I'm not claiming to be better than you.  

I presumed you were writing naturally and quickly--I don't have a problem with that--but when you got all haughty and claimed to be some English grammarian, you looked hypocritical.

I didn't proofread your posts, but I did give you the courtesy of reading them. The mistakes were clear.  

medjai, I'm not looking to make an enemy. I rather enjoy reading what you have to say. Don't get me wrong.

Umm, sophos, you use like improperly; it can't be used as a conjunction.  

The clause,

cannot be linked to the clause,

using like; it isn't a conjunction.

Instead the sentence should read:

You fail. Now go home.

All right. I'm done with my douche baggery. Enough with trivial grammar; it's not that important, anyway.

Et tu, Peregrine?

According to current conventions, the word 'like' can be used as
a noun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, and conjunction.

Here are two literary giants, doing just that...

"It is astonishing how they raven down scenery
like children do sweetmeats." John Keats

"And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart."
Juliet, from William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet

Here endeth the lesson.
