Like lookit the tyre. It is flimsy thin pathetic, a barrier of no

Well, does it ???

people live in my exclusive gated nayborhood speak in grunts.
Shortening a word is a sign of significant intelligence.
Conversation founds on, He said, They said., Ura XXXX. Main concern is
does my asshole smell or does ura asshole smell or her asshole smells.
No kidding.
Mostly KSC people.

I figure one of these day I'll roll out onto the parking lot to see a
group picking lice and cooties off each other.

Degrade is the wrong word. Was Latin degrading when it became Italian,
French, Spanish, etc? Was English degrading when it went from the
tongue of Beowulf to that of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales?

Oh, and I would like to point out that the olde version of the
Canterbury Tales had spotty grammar and spelling at best, there have
been many cyclic periods of sexual liberation and confinement throughout
history, and the Golden Past, whatever ideal one holds it to be, will
always be something that never was.

What is your methodology on that? I notice that:

Psychology: Study of Psychological matters
Mineralogy: Study of minerals
Theology: Study of religion and deities
Biology: Study of plants and animals
etc...

Therefore, consistent with the language, the word originally meant the
study of methods of one kind or another, whereas the common use seems
to be a more imposing word for method.

It's like "my personal opinion on that" aka "I believe..." but the
overwhelming majority of these long words and phrases seem to be used
to be more impressive. I'm with Andrew, for me these flourishes cast
doubt on what the writer has to say.

Sometimes it is a dodge from the fear of expressing an opinion,
because being opinionated is horrid. That's why writers often use
"hopefully you'll succeed" rather than "I hope you succeed" in order
to not express an opinion.

What a bunch of dangling adverbialism!...

hopefully

Jobst Brandt

I'm just saying
sometimes tis better to pin the blame on others
who cannot answer for themselves

for example

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this
continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.

Ever notice how public speakers, especially political candidates, use
'myself' or 'we' rather than 'me' or 'I'?

Continental, Germany tells us the Contact Security is

"Designed for industrial applications, the ContactSecurity can
also perform well in everyday use. Its massive puncture-proof
breaker was developed to resist metal cuttings and shards on
factory grounds. In view of its tough construction, it is not a
comfortable touring tyre with low rolling resistance, but it does
effectively ward off gravel and shards on short stretches in the
city."

The page also says "The tread derives it¹s superb function from a
closer look at nature¹s solutions. Animal paws were the model for
designing the tread pattern and it¹s surface!"

How many animals have wheels and travel primarily on pavement?

And how many animals misuse "it's" twice in two sentences? I
thought the UK had something to do with the English language.

That language is no longer taught in schools as is apparent from
(lie/lay), (effect/impact), (affect/impact) and other speech
embellishments "overwhelming majority" aka "most" that we see all the
time.

Its the overwhelming majority of these kinds of things that give
wreck.bike a lack of clarity.

aka

Most of these things make wreck.bike unclear.

I enjoy going after thoughtless qualifiers such as
`very unique' or `potentially dangerous'. Check out
books on style. There is only one message in all of
them. When you meet a qualifier on the road, kill it.

Which part of "Continental, Germany tells us..." is related to the UK,
please?

On occasion I've succeeded hopelessly, and despite
my pessimism at the time.

What a bunch of dangling adverbialism!...

That's what separates-out the wheat from the chaff.

I recall how a couple of years ago some news media
talking heads tried to coin: "truthiness."
I'm glad it never caught on. At least, I hope
it didn't.


cheers,
