? Im sure it means something cos Mr Stabby 'liked' When one settles down with popcorn, it is in anticipation of a long drawn out spectacle, typically a confrontation, such as another episode of the Kris and Tomsk Show.

Which we will not experience. In the same way that the individual in Stumpy's animated gif will not experience the taste of his popcorn.
BTW Mrs Tabby. I feel you should acknowledge the nonexistence of kris and tomsk by decapitalising their usernames.

You are an awful, self-defeating cunt. Your a judgemental gimp, so what's your point? You make my point far more eloquently than I ever could. T... x

So, the big question is, who is Estragon and who is Vladamir?

Thank you...I didn't know that...my education into the 'language and meaning' of the TB forum expands.....soon I'll have enough information to be able to contribute more fully..... That day draws ever closer.....

Yes I'd like to discuss how some people like to tell other people what to do or think or say and that some people seem to think it's their birthright to do so. I find it interesting that in my experience the people who suffer from this the most are people who had a private education. Along with the general air of superiority that they ooze, I find this an obnoxious trait. In fact I think this is one of the biggest issues holding back British society from being a true democracy. Maybe class war had it right when they said "eat the rich" I can't help chuckle to myself when I imagine what fun would be had if we the people started hunting the "upper class" for sport. Well what a great first step. At last you have begun to appreciate the size of the massive chip on your shoulder. Several more sessions and you might almost become normal.
I did say almost!
i actually see you for what you are. I've met lots of people like you in my life. You think you are so clever and funny with your air of superiority. Whilst really all you are doing is perpetuating "colonial mentality" I suppose it its a generational thing and it will die out eventually when people like you are dead and gone. I know there is no hope of change for someone of your advanced years, but I'm still going to point out to your error in believing that knowing more about the rules of grammer does not make you superior to anyone else. The world has simply moved on and passed you by. Oh we'll never mind.

The world has simply moved on and passed you by. Oh we'll never mind. I'm not quite sure why you are having a go at me about being superior about grammar. It was not me who started banging on about grammar in this thread, it was mr Stabby. I was merely defending why I wrote what I did when it was strictly grammatically incorrect after I was criticised for it. I guess I am an easier target than mr Stabby since my blade is shorter. But anyway, since you've raised the matter I'm not sure what colonial mentality has to do with it. The point of grammar is that writing is just a jumble of letters unless there are structure and rules. Literature is full of writing with correct grammar and so people become accustomed to it. Reading a sentence with bad grammar grates as much as a bum note in a piece of music and can cause difficultly in understanding what the writer means or even plain misinterpretation. Or sometimes, with repeated bad grammar, it just gets too difficult and the reader will give up and read something else. Of course the language and grammar are "living things" and do evolve. For example, splitting the infinitive ("to boldly go" instead of "boldly to go") used to be verboten but is of course common in spoken and now written english, and accepted by nearly everyone. Sentences should not start with "And", "But" etc but I often use that construction on forums since it mirrors spoken English. i think you are wrong to consider that grammar will somehow die out. How could it, since we are left with incomprehensibility if it does. And there are still plenty of young people with good grammar. It is necessary in order to get a "desk job", since being able to communicate effectively in writing is often a prerequisite. So if you go for a job as a welder and your CV has grammatical errors, probably nobody cares, they are just interested in whether you can weld. If you go for an office job I suggest that presented with two people's CVs, the one without the glaring grammatical errors is the one that will be favourite for the job. It is similar to attire - if the interviewee for the welding job has ripped and dirty jeans and a scruffy shirt, no-one is likely to care and in fact if you turned up in a suit they'd think you were odd. But if you turned up for the office job interview in the scruffy clothes you would be less likely to get the job. Good grammar is a skill required for a job involving communication just as good welding is a skill required for a welding job. Since there seem to be fewer manual jobs in this country, and more desk/service/customer-facing jobs, I suggest that you are disadvantaged if you not only have poor grammar but also see no point in trying to improve it. Grammar ain't going to go away. But it will evolve, of course.

My Grammar died away.
See what I did there?
Incorrectly spelled words create confusion.
What is this thing called love?
What? Is this thing called love?
What is this thing called, love?
Punctuation can be important too, but it's fun. You can play for ages.

Rog Even one missing uppercase letter can make all the difference... 1) I helped my uncle Jack off a horse. 2) I helped my uncle jack off a horse.
