Those were my very thoughts.....and have been for very long time....that along with all the personal attacks.....but, I'm not saying nothing.... :lipsrsealed2:

Correct, not saying nothing would mean that you are saying something and you did.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

You're so funny Ex.  Use of words is not a mark of a persons intelligence.

I'm sure that belief has served you well in job interviews.   :rolleyes:

QuoteAlso constantly correcting someone is a mark of needing to feel superior because of a lack of self confidence in yourself and needing to deflect since you don't have anything useful to contribute to a conversation.

No, and I have explained this a thousand times...once more for the cheap seats...literacy affects how you interpret the written word.  Someone who is less literate is more likely to misconstrue the original intent of an article or book than someone who reads well.  You prove this all of the time with your misguided interpretation of the world around you.  :razz:

I'm sorry, but it's not so much about knowing which word to use as it is about elementary level grammar. To me the concept seems similar to hygiene, both are very basic and tell you a lot about a person.
Guess you would have pegged Einstein to be an idiot then huh?

And you are implying what about Einstein, exactly?  That you knew him and he used bad grammar?  How long have you been fluent in his native German tongue?

He appeared to be rather disheveled and unkempt.

That's just appearance though.  I try to follow the saying, "you can't judge a book by its cover".

Okay, if I didn't know anything about him, then I might have made a false assunption about his intellect, but then he would have opened his mouth to speak with grammatical correctness and I would've revised my opinion. :biggrin:

'Sides I was speaking more to odor/cleanliness more so than appearance. I judge books by their smell.

That applied pages ago and you missed my point. When someone judges you because of what you put out there for the world to see in writing, then you can't claim someone is judging you by your cover.
