Can you think of a way to refute his writing without accusing him of being a CCP shill? Or making incorrect use of an ellipses? (If you want to indicate a pause in speaking, you're supposed to use two dashes like so: "But seriously--can you think of a...)
English is such a precious resource, but you people are ruining it for everyone! |

Check my post. We did what you suggest already. Second, lay off the "English is written in stone" BS. Heck, the word Shill is a 20th century word. Do you think you should be using something more ... orthodox? Also, the word ellipses is plural.
Ha! You would have had me if you hadn't added added a second ellipsis into the mix, thus making my usage of the term
anticipatory.
Anyway, do you live in the west coast or something? Shill is very much a part of the Eastern American Lexicon. |

Shill is very much a part of the Eastern American Lexicon. Not to derail the thread any further, but: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/62859/origin-of-the-word-shill-shillaberhttp://oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/shillBoth of these sources list Shill as originating in the early 20th century, even as late as the 1940's, so clearly even the english that you use, is pretty recent slang. Also, your useage of the english language doesn't even follow your own rules. You can't have an ellipses. I thought you'd have understood that. Anticipatory, lol! Now, I'm done correcting your hypocrisy. I merely wanted to point out that you should lay off ragging on people's unconventional use of the language, as you, yourself seem to be doing the same.
Heh heh heh. I just got told on the internet by a very serious guy. |
