Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Oh! ... Hang on! That was a "Stupid question" right? Duh.If not .. Would you like me to lie down on the couch first while you get you notebook out? Not my usual technique. I prefer face to face to ensure client does not feel 'dominated' (not like that) and using reflective listening while only noting bullet points.

Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 What are you doing here anyway. I thought you were off to the pub to watch grown men kick a ball around on telly? Not that I have anything against sa-port ... but like sex .. I'd rather do it myself than watch it on a flat screen. the pub came to me instead.

Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Careful ... I may have to say something about punctuation and steal your award. No punctuation problems there...though I did not capitalise the 't' in 'the'. That's not punctuation though. But joking aside, tell us what you really do as a job. Because I find it more and more incredulous that anyone would entrust you with educating young minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Because I failed to check a copy/paste on a two bit forum? A copy/paste that really only had one mistake .. a missing comma? Sounds like a joke to me. Here .. have the gold award. Thanks, but I already have several. Not just based on one copy and paste error, but on continued grammatical errors, syntax errors and spelling mistakes throughout your worthy contributions to the various threads. Proof, if proof was needed, that a TEFL certificate doth not a teacher make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Now for my question. Were you one of those annoying kids in class who were constantly waving their arms in the air pleading "Teacher,teacher ask me, ask me!"? No. I was the smug little bastard who was usually 3 chapters ahead of the rest of the class AND the teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazel Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Almost every thread I go now (is it just me that's thinking this way?), the same story is happening and happening and happening...

Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 But I love ye olde English insults from Shakespeare (You can't start a sentence with "But") *sigh* "In the past, English teachers used to preach that one should never start a sentence with conjunctions like and or but. Does this rule still apply today? Not entirely. It is already acceptable to start sentences with such conjunctions. Some authorities, in fact, even defend that for some cases conjunctions will do a better job than more formal constructions. Here is a quotation from Ernest Gowers addressing the usage of and on the beginning of sentences:" "That it is a solecism to begin a sentence with and is a faintly lingering superstition. The OED gives examples ranging from the 10th to the 19th c.; the Bible is full of them." (http://www.dailywritingtips.com/can-you-start-sentences-with-%E2%80%9Cand%E2%80%9D-and-%E2%80%9Cbut%E2%80%9D/) (No quotation marks) Thou dissembling clay-brained nut-hook!(No quotation marks) http://www.mainstrike.com/mstservices/handy/insult.html Or from Elizabethan times generally(no full stop) (No quotation marks) you reeky pox marked measle(No quotation marks) Au contraire. Many academic rules for quotations will allow for no quotation marks to be used as long as it is clear that you are quoting from another source, which is clearly the case here. Sources were provided for both quotes. Rather than a full stop after 'generally', the punctuation I had actually omitted was a colon. So while I had made an error, your error in attempting to point out my error was far more erroneous. (Are there) Any particular (and imaginative) profanities you like to use? You nearly scored a full point on this one. I was not using particularly good English, but this form would be accepted. You seem to have shifted your focus from Bob. Are you running a little scared that he is actually rather close to you geographically? If that is the case, then fine. Am sure your mouth will one day lead you into trouble when not shielded by the anonymity of an online forum. I look forward to reading of those tragic events on a news site somewhere on the wonderful web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think this will explain it. Schoolboys on the loose. I think you will find (if you go to the 'Stranger danger' thread) that I have contributed far more interesting and serious material in one thread than you have managed across all those you have polluted with your slightly retarded perspective on things. But I still stand by the comments you have attributed to me. TF has always maintained a nice balance between highbrow debate and silly bickering. More recently, it had become rather stale. One good thing you have managed; is to at least reintroduce some of the old verbal sparring that has been absent recently. You have certainly been good practice for when a more challenging opponent comes along. Think of yourself as an exemplary verbal punch bag; it should do your self esteem a lot of good.
