Excuse me? I have't sniped at you about anything at all lately.

And it never occurred to you any of the times in the last 4 or 5 months
that you did I didn't respond? I had you killfiled, and darn AOL for
taking that ability away from me anyway!

Need to have Dude figure out why Mozilla's Thunderbird isn't letting me
subscribe, and once again put you into oblivion as far as I am
concerned.

I appreciate your admitting to sniping at me tho, and it's amusing that
you had no defense about the way you try to put me down!

No. I assumed you were ignoring me because I was ignoring you.

I have no defense because it's a figment of your imagination. If I were
out to prove my superiority over someone here, you, my little
mediocrity, would not be my choice. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going
back to ignoring you.

After I killfiled you, you did snipe a few times, I know because I got
one of the funnier ones emailed to me.

One where you claimed I was uneducated or somesuch thing. Cracked me
up, since I do have a college degree, even if I do not actually use it
professionally.

You just started to "ignore me" because I didn't snipe back and that
took away your "fun."

Certainly there is no such thing as perfectly proper English. Many
countries speak their own versions of the language, each claiming their
own is correct.

Historically, English has stolen words and phrases from many other
languages (largely due to the fact that the Isle was invaded many times
over the centuries).

For any one person to try to control the way English is used here is,
at the very least, a bit arrogant.

Come off it, Caryn, even you have to admit that we English have the monopoly
on CORRECT English!!! (Even if we don`t always demonstrate it!!!) We
haven`t been invaded since 1066 either. We`re talking about standard
English, as used nowadays in any case - and VERY few countries have never
assimilated words from other languages. That`s not really the point.

English a. & n. (language) of England

The Oxford Guide to the English Language published by the Oxford
University Press is the authoritative guide to the language, and
'Oxford English' is definitely correct.

Our language may have been adopted and modified by other countries,
but these are versions and not the 'real McCoy'.

Historically, English has stolen words and phrases from many other
languages (largely due to the fact that the Isle was invaded many times
over the centuries).

Obviously all my history books are wrong (even the Oxford History of
Britain). I thought we always won.

For any one person to try to control the way English is used here is,
at the very least, a bit arrogant.

As Pat said 'This is just a dead-casual, often leg-pulling - and
nearly always spontaneous newsgroup, for heaven`s sake - not an
exercise in Oxford English. If that was the criterion, no-one would
ever bother to voice an opinion!'

So how is that trying to control the way English is used here? I
thought all versions as well as the Queen's English were accepted.
