Eric, a question got you.
What does Derek say about all this? Is he in agreement with you ?
Ooops, that is two questions but as clever as you are you will know that.

God, you people are so humourless. You don't even realise when someone is taking the piss.

I think you'll find that we're experts in the field......... see ya :moon:
Nice of you to edit out your closing remarks by the way :fuckinghell:
nice bit of editing eric
but steph has the original post
The ability to edit is there for a reason.
Derek disagrees completely, but then he is also a sad illiterate fucker.
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Oh dear god I'm so tired of it, yet another person picking on the literary skills of others.....where are all these dictionary gazers coming from this week? has a spelling bee been cancelled in the area? :shock:
Manners and humour are far more valued on SH than spelling, sadly you don't have either (and clearly don't possess the third entirely without a spell checker).
As for asking why you should leave, it would be better to consider why you should stay...or want to if it means conversing with the Illiterati rolleyes
Thank you kindly

That's not fair, Serendipity, I know all three of my parents, and they were all married to someone at sometime...

Now Eric mate. I would take the above from Sgt as a firm warning.
I'm in tomorrow already. That old time difference thing. Or have you still not worked out that "being from the UK" and "in the UK" are different. I noticed no one got back to me on that point.
I would also like to point out at this stage that there is a slight diffrence between the odd typo and a whole story written with the literary skill of a six year old.

No we're not and yes we do.
You tried to ridicule other people's literacy when yours is far from perfect and now it's our turn to take the piss out of you. That's a fair exchange isn't it?
We are responding in kind, deprecating while you depreciate, but with considerably greater humour than you have managed to muster thus far. If you can't take it mate, it's probably not wise to dish it out. smile

Fred, personally, I wouldn't presume to know what the Sarge was suggesting...

If you don't like it here, why not leave?
In fact, I could make it easy for you if you like?

Perhaps he thought he was in the Anal Bleaching thread instead! rolleyes
You tried to ridicule other people's literacy

No, I didn't. I questioned it.
I feel that it is a reasonable question.

Man: Look this isn't an argument.
Mr Vibrating: Yes it is.
Man: No it isn't, it's just contradiction.
Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man: Yes it is.
Mr Vibrating: It is not.
Man: It is. You just contradicted me.
Mr Vibrating: No I didn't.
Man: Ooh, you did!
Mr Vibrating: No, no, no, no, no.
Man: You did, just then.
Mr Vibrating: No, nonsense!
Man: Oh, look this is futile.
Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man: I came here for a good argument.
Mr Vibrating: No you didn't, you came here for an argument.
Man: Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction.
Mr Vibrating: It can be.
Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition.
Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man: Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction.
Mr Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
Man: But it isn't just saying "No it isn't".
Mr Vibrating: Yes it is.
Man: No it isn't, an argument is an intellectual process... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man: Yes it is.
Mr Vibrating: Not at all.
Man: Now look!
Mr Vibratingsadpressing the bell on his desk) Thank you, good morning.

Your question was:
Quote by Eric not Derek
Is it necessary to be functionally illiterate to be a swinger?

I can't believe you seriously expected reasonable answers to a rhetorical and sarcastic question.
You could have invited debate on the subject of literacy, but your wording implied a judgement, and that judgement was a self-satisfied sneer.
Nobody complained, we just hoisted you in your own petard, and if you possessed the humour you accuse us of lacking, you wouldn't have a problem with that. dunno
Nobody complained

Are you blind? There have been five pages in two days.

I see adequately, thank you. What I see is a lot of piss taking. It's all rather amusing but for the unfortunate fact that the person who began it can't take it. rolleyes

Can you be hoisted in a ?

I hope you all noticed that I was far too polite to pick up on the petard faux pas until someone else did.

No, I just wanted the opportunity to be hoist by mine. :P
Are you taking the piss? mad :x :x
Erm, we actually have been known to turn down people, who reply to our ad, simply because of their lack of knowledge of the English language.
Or poor grammar. Or awful spelling. Or lack of punctuation.
Sorry. We think it's important. redface

I have always wondered (but never been bothered to look it up rolleyes )
What is a Petard, boys?
Thank you vix.
Although you may not agree with everything I have said, you alone seem to have acknowledged that compatibility runs deep and even something as seemingly trivial as correct (or near correct) grammar can matter.
I asked a simple and valid question, perhaps in an ungainly manner, but have been vilified.
Lighten up people!
