There are numerous authors using this conversational style. It is very popular and is overused by the ghost writers for best selling fiction reads. It is fast, resembles conversation and is appropriate for people with limited attention spans and as a result is ideal for many of the pillocks on this section of the site. Read a book, learn to distinguish verbs, modifiers and nouns. I am ending this vacuous discussion now because you probably haven't read this far and are now hot-footing to the library in a futile effort to try to learn something.

Good luck with the "other authors do it" excuse. I once tried to use Faulkner to justify my run on sentences, but the instructor wasn't having it.

Do not try to goad me into a debate or discussion of a hysterical, naive, inflammatory blowhard with a malnourished personality. I wouldn't waste my time on such a trivial pursuit. I will say that clown could be a whole chapter in a graduate level text book on abnormal psychology.

The real question here is why you and others are defending this pathetic creature. I don't know his/her/its handle but the avatar of one of his apologists is a chubby guy in a shabby, baggy brown jacket sucking on a lollipop or ice cream cone. I've always assumed that is some kind of silly inside joke but I have never gotten it, so I guess I will never understand the motivation of that guy, or you, to defend the biased loony toon from the uppa US.

I believe you are speaking of Bill. He doesn't do anything wrong that Boberic doesn't do in spades. Bill doesn't show himself best on a keyboard, but he's not stupid. Boberic doesn't present himself well with a keyboard, but he is a Trump supporter. You aren't claiming to not be biased, are you?

I have no idea what your credentials are, but you are way too self important for my taste.

It is OK to slaughter the rules of grammar as you did. Just as it is OK to slaughter the rules of photograghy some times.

It is just hilarious when you do it while questioning someone's state of mind because of their grammar errors.

You made a major grammar mistake, while criticizing another poster's grammar, can't admit it, double down by justifing with some BS, and are an Ahole while doing it.

Yer one of our special cases aren't you...

I would have figured you to be a "dog ate my homework" guy.

Can I interpret this to mean you will not be contacting me ever again? I don't know how to say "hooray" in liberalese so I will just speak American and say GREAT.

Wrong.
Get in an iron and press that ugly baggy suit and maybe consider laying off ice cream cones and donuts.

You know that second clump of words in your post?

It's not a sentence.

What is worse...a harmless typo or a complete failure of grammar?


You know that Quackin is among the worst offenders in the spell police squad.

You know Quackin is the loudest whiner when he gets any blow back at all for it.

You know that you will always attack the one who corrects Quackin.

You know that you will never call out Quackin.

What I would like to know is why?

If I ever saw Quakin blow his grammar while calling out someone else's grammar error...I would point it out.

I mostly ignore Quakin though, so I might not catch it. Maybe I pay a bit more attention since he quit reposting politicus every day.

Denise is one of the biggest grammar/typo nazis on here who only points out lefty's typos. I do not point out his typos either unless he blows it when correcting someone.

See the pattern?
