Lol? Cmon man that's a cop-out. Or maybe, just maybe it was a week later and they got new shoes? Or since we are gonna make silly arguments, maybe they were wearing slippers or sandals which aren't shoes...

I was genuinely asking to clarify for me what makes that statement a hyperbole, I have always been more science and math oriented. I was expecting something a little stronger based on your previous post.

This whole debate about the proper use of grammar must be more far reaching than I previously thought. This is what I witness happen in the shoutbox:

Paul Smeenus: plug.dj – MusicBanter
djchameleon: I'm busy building a lego set or I would
Paul Smeenus: You mean you're building something *with* a lego set?

That's irritating.

I thought what Paul said was harmless and funny, because their is some truth... dj wasn't literally building a Lego set. I only thought that occasional noticing of how things are said and whether proper grammar is used. I guess it is one of those things you don't notice until someone points it out.

I had a friend that whenever I ended sentence with a preposition would flip out! I wouldn't know how notice such things so quickly, usually whenever a grammatical error is made it takes me a while to figure it out.

I like to write the way I talk.

Also, Mark Twain, and Chuck Palahalawalnakik. **** someone else's rules about grammar.

Chuck Palahalawalnakik had zero returns on Google.

Mark Twain wrote the way people talk to capture their regional dialects to add depth and veritas to his characters. So if a character said something with a grammatical mistake, it should not be attribute to Mark Twain making the grammatical mistake. In a way you can think of Twain as a real life American version of George Bernard Shaw's fictional character, Alfred P. Doolittle.

I don't remember how to spell his aggravating name but he's the dude who wrote Fight Club and a bunch of other artsy grammatically incorrect novels.

I quickly googled that for you and his name is Chuck Palahniuk.
