Would to God that we forsake our Indo-European linguistic heritage by seeing the death of the subjunctive. Lest we denigrate our tongue by acquiescing such expressions as "I wish I was richer", let the subjunctive see a renaissance. May not the subjunctive be annexed by the conditional, nor mistaken for the past.

Yeah, those are pretty big words for a mongrel. Never mind the Bollocks, Phagroah.

Er yeah, I was being ironic butwank. I don't suppose you noticed, but my grammar, 'I wish I were better educated', was actually quite correct.

Butwank, you quite obviously know Jack Shit about English grammar, and I don't really want to embarrass you with my superior knowledge. I mean, I am English you know. And it's my mongrel language after all. I suggest you avoid discussions about the English language and stick to what you know best, whatever that is. Maybe wanking.

Everytime he doesn't say something.

That's really a paradox, how do you count how many times you haven't done something? It's an infinite number.

I'll buy you all dinner, fish and chips maybe, but I'm afraid I can't possibly afford to feed butwank as well, it would be far too expensive.

Try and thrown in some more british stereotypes, I'm not convinced you're from the UK yet.

Actually, wasn't english originally a germanic language that was passed around like a cheap whore between various other languages?

No, it was invented by the British, along with sex, chocolate, tea, gunpowder and everything else good. That's why their empire lasted forever and they are still shouldering the white man's burden with ease.

Oh, and the wanking joke, they invented that too. And the laughing emoticon, without which no one would ever know when someone else was being funny.

I'm kidding, of course. The British have much to recomend them. Just not their food, their teeth or Phagroah.

LOOK, PHAGROAH! HERE IS A LAUGHING EMOTICON SO YOU WILL KNOW I AM LAUGHING!

I don't see any emoticon, butwank, is it invisible? Are you sure you know how to do it? All you do is click on the emoticon of your choice and it appears in your post. It's easy.

And there's even one specially for you:

You didn't see the emoticon? Seriously? Huh.

Maybe it IS because I don't know how to use them.

Or maybe it's because I never use them, as I have faith in my ability to express myself using words and I am mocking you by printing the words

LAUGHING EMOTICON

Look. Phagroah, look! This is where I would put the MASTURBATING EMOTICON so you would know that I hold you in contempt.

But I think it's better to state that I hold you in contempt in words. Wehn I see your emoticon, knowing you're mongrel IQ is almost certainly lower than mine, I have to assume that all you mean is that you like Masturbating, even though it seems to cause you a degree of pain.

You should see a doctor. It isn't supposed to hurt.

When you debate grammar, everyone is a loser.
