Superfuzz_Bigmuff Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Dear me. That's disturbing. Why would a married man go and annoy people on messageboards? Cause bad mouthing retards like you is infinetly more entertaining than researching blood or whatever the fuck it is the cock end does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Puppetmaster Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 1) That's pedantry which makes you look even worse 2) You're wrong, it's 'Each to their own', if you're talking about the actual phrase itself. Regardless, each version is syntactically correct, so this observation is rendered even more pointless That's not at all pedantic. It would be if I added a detailed explanation of why what they wrote is incorrect and said that they must spell it the right way from now on. Yeah but...*considers googling* *decides against it* but saying "each to their own" slightly changes the phrase. It makes it sound like the shorter version of "each is entitled to their own opinion." What does syntax have to do with anything in this case? Doesn't seem like a syntactical difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does syntax have to do with anything in this case? Doesn't seem like a syntactical difference. Ahem 1) Pedantry is picking at little tiny things that needn't be picked out, which you did. What does commenting on the way the person who wrote 'Each to their own' organised their syntax add to the topic? 2) I already Googled it, I was right. 3) 'Each to their own' does not change the phrase. 'To each,( : ) their own' is just another organisation of syntax to mean the same thing, but more archaic. For example, 'For you: a burgoh' is the same as 'A burger for you'. 4) Syntax has everything to do with it considering you were complaining about the person's syntax. 5) Even if the relevance syntax has to this topic was debatable, it would have more relevance than your pedantry in the first place.

Guest Puppetmaster Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Here's a thought. I've spotted an interesting parallel. Jim's assertion that Absolution Tour is superior to Hullabaloo parallels some people's belief that Absolution is superior to OoS. Now, what to make of all this?!? *is thoughtful* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm badly urged to respond to each of these points but I think that'd earn me my first ever ban. Hm, maybe I should respond. I will a bit later.

BOD Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yes, indeed. Beg pardon. 'Beg pardon' is an imperative instructing me to beg pardon. You've assigned the imperative to the second person instead of the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
