"Me Tarzan, you Jane" is understandable but not correct. My favorite
from Americans is when asked how they are, they reply "I'm good". Good
at what, pray tell?

news:h5hhk9$gkn$1@news.eternal-september.org...

You have hardly written anything in this thread apart from borrowing a
couple of quotations from books, so you have hardly written an epic.
However, looking at your more long-winded posts in here, there are plenty of
grammar errors in your writings. I have picked out two already and that is
without looking at the many others you have posted while you troll here.

Alias, IF you ARE the real Alias and not some spoofer in here, (and I know
who that could be ), you are well known in these newsgroups as the
biggest troll in here. I have read several of your posts, especially the
ones where you try to face off with people such as Frank. Some of them show
that you actually believe Microsoft will be out of business by the time
Windows 8 will be on the shelves. Please, give me strength. Your
credibility went out of the window years ago.

As I have said, in reading those posts of yours, I have noticed your grammar
is not great. If I wanted to, I could pick them apart and show you how bad
some of them are but my time is precious and I have not the time or
inclination to waste my time on somebody who believes Microsoft will be out
of business in three years.
<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->

Therefore, you are Alias Tarzan then.

Do you really need to camouflage yourself behind the name you use in here?
Maybe you have something to hide. I wonder what that could be.
<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->

Being born is probably the biggest one.

Having said that, seeing as we are only posting in here and not writing
books, most people get the gist of what I am trying to convey, even you.

Translation: you can find no such errors. All you'll be able to find is
a typo or two.

How do we know your name is Andy? And do you really think that you're
the only Andy in the world?

Um, you were criticizing another poster's English. End of story. Had you
just used improper English, I wouldn't have said a thing.

It's interesting how you fall back on ad hominems like Frank does when
you're totally and irrevocably refuted and shown to be the fool.

These are not typos; do not flatter yourself.

you will be able to find...< That is the correct way to present your wording
above if you really wanted to be pedantic about it.

Contraction use although acceptable is not credible and is a lazy way to use
grammar and you would not receive any Hugo awards if you were writing a book
that way. Look back on your past posts; I think you will find the
'contraction' use of your words is abundant.

Here is an example from one of your old antagonistic posts with Frank -
<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
> You said you would find me and make me pay. You didn't, can't and
> won't. You can beg me to go to Paris but that ain't happening. Try

The use of didn't, 'can't' and won't all in the same sentence is atrocious
grammar. That sentence should have been worded thus so -

You said you would find me and make me pay. You did not, cannot and will
not find me at all.

Secondly, the second line down -

Although the use of 'ain't' is used in American English in certain
junctures, it is widely disapproved as non-standard and more common in the
habitual speech of the less educated.

Although we know it to be a contraction of "am not", "is not", "are not",
"have not" or "has not", it is still considered non-standard and bad grammar
unless you are using it in the context of somebody actually saying it or
emphasizing the word as an example or expression in inverted commas.

In the one sentence you produced above, you have used five contractions and
one of them you should have not used at all. That is just one sentence in
one post of yours. That is appalling grammar.

Although the full stop is acceptable outside of quotation marks like those
you have above, it is generally well known and preferred by authors that all
punctuation should be inside quotation marks. Publishers prefer this also.
I maybe being pedantic here but it is a fact.

How do we know your name is Andy? And do you really think that you're
the only Andy in the world?

Above, you have used the word 'And' at the beginning of a sentence. You
really did not need that word at all.

This is true, I am not the only Andy in the world but my name is Andy
nonetheless because I have no reason to lie or hide from it. Now if your
name was John, I could relate to that. If your name was Peter, I could
relate to that also but by using the name Alias, by the very nature of the
name, does sound a bit suspect and childish do you not think?

Do I look like I really care what you say or think? Who the hell are you,
Oscar Wilde? The beef was between me and another poster so who made you the
authority to butt in?

BTW, that should have been worded above 'I would not have said a thing'.
(BTW is an abbreviation. It is used in these posts and is short for 'By The
Way.' I hope that this is acceptable for you.)

'It is interesting... not 'it's interesting.' 'You are totally', not
'you're totally' Tut tut. You are a lazy fellow where grammar is concerned.
'like Frank does' should be 'as Frank does.' (Use of the word 'like', not
good.)

I do not need anyone to fight my battles and it is not I that have been
refuted but you. You are another conceited cretin who lives in here and
believes he knows it all but in fact knows very little and before calling me
a fool, take a long hard look at yourself. I am not the one who thinks
Microsoft will be out of business in three years.

BTW, I revisited one of my earlier posts; the one that you said had too many
commas in it. You need to pause for breath in-between each comma and it is
perfectly acceptable. Even though I grant you it is a long sentence as your
compatriot mentioned, it is perfectly acceptable and nothing wrong with it
at all.

No, I haven't.

You proved no such thing. All you revealed is your ignorance of the
English language.

Here:

"The English language, UK in particular, is among the most complex and
diverse of them all, so it is hardly surprising that some individuals,
this one for example is a prize candidate, obviously does not have the
intelligence to grasp the complexities of the English language."

Now bugger off and do something useful like study English grammar.
