Or maybe just a large quantity of substantiations
that Tony has had a hard time coping with? I.e. what
actually has happened everytime I've used the word.

PeterN:
Only the times when you use an inappropriate word.

Sandman:
You are free to point to any such time, Peter. Be my
guest. I am happy to be corrected when I make mistakes. Be
sure to point to the post of my inappropiate usage and
substantiation for how and why it was inappropriate.

I'm waiting.

PeterN:
Just look at and read any of your postings in which Tony orI
corrected your English.

Sandman:
There is none to look at that meet that criteria.

Wrong

Incorrect.

PeterN:
And that's as far as I go with you English lesson.

Sandman:
So, you have nothing. I knew that of course.

Wrong

Incorrect.

Your wit is underwhelming

BTW are you going to the PFLI Spring Spectacular?

http://www.pflionline.com/Spring_Spectacular_2014.html

Wow, I need to get out more. I wasn't even aware of this event. BTW, I
keep having to trim just about any response I post here "too many quoted
lines" is the message I receive when the message won't "send".
then you don't know about this one either:

http://www.neccc.org/New_Outline_13.htm

I already made my hotel reservations. My wife usually comes too. She just
likes driving around the area. We have gone about five times in the last
seven years.

I love traveling to New England. My sister has a place in Weston, CT. and a
place in Vermont. We spend a fair amount of time with them at their home in
Weston.

I'll be in the Dominican Republic for a week before this event in Mass.
Honestly, I'd rather be in Mass than the Dominican Republic. I'm not one
for sun, sand, and surf. I'd rather be indoors where it's cool or in the
shade.

I can't hand you your ass with eloquence and logic every single time,
Peter, sometimes I just respond in kind. You offered no wit and got no wit
in return.

Let me know when you're aspiring for great wit on your part and I'll be
sure to respond in tone.

Tony Cooper:
Here's one for you, then. "There is none..." is a gross error.

Sandman:
"gross", huh? I'm way past at taking you at face value, so you
need more than just a claim here, Andreas.

What? You need some "substantiation" that it should be "There are
none..."?

I actually missed that, I thought it was "none" you were in reference to,
which sort of speaks to how low your credibility with regards to English is
and how any comment you make about it will be doubted until you give
anything substantial.

I'm still baffled about the "gross" part though, but that's just you
trolling though.

Tony Cooper:
If I adopted your juvenile style of writing, I'd add
"Hilarious", "haha", or "Ironic".

Sandman:
Poor Andreas.

Use that dictionary you keep copy/pasting from: gross =
unattractively large or bloated.

Gross also has a very different meaning, at least when distinguishing an
amateur tennis player from a professional tennis player.

An amateur jumps over the net.
A professional's manager jumps over the gross.

I am perfectly aware of the meaning of the word "gross", which is why I am
baffled by your misuse of it. Accidentally writing "is" when one should
have written "are" is pretty much one of the tiniest and "non-bloated" ways
to make a grammar mistake.

That being said, a "gross" mistake is not something that is likened to
being large or bloated, you picked the wrong definition. Words mean several
things, and "gross" when used to describe a mistake is more aptly defined
with the "vulgar, unrefined" part of the Oxford definition of the word, as
opposed to something related to size. Or even the "complete, blatant" one.

In this case, either definition is equally ill-fitted though, which is why
you used it of course.

When you write one sentence of ten words, and make an obvious an
glaring mistake in that sentence, it's an unattractively large
error. Blatant, even.

Then you just made a gross error yourself. Ironic, wouldn't you say?

And, when presented with that mistake, you *still* "missed" it, it
becomes even more of a glaring and gross error...especially when you
weasel away and claim it is a "tiny" error.

Because you think it's an enormous and unforgiving error? This is seriously
what you have sunk to, Andreas? Posting spelling and grammar flames blowing
them way out of proportion? Especially when you make similar errors
yourself.

As I've said many times, I have no problem admitting to an error when I
make it, but that doesn't mean I'll make fun of your trolling flames in the
process.

A typo, omitting a "d", is not a grammatical error. And, I do catch
my errors the first time.

But, no, I don't think your error was "unforgiving"[sic]. Nor is it
unforgivable. (Funny how "Ironic" comes and bites you in the ass.)
