zodiac on Subtle Reasons by crooked_smile 11 Mar 2005, 10:32 PM
Please tell me you read my response before deleting it. Everybody else did, apparently, so what difference does it make. In fact, you can just select one of the following easy responses: A) I read your comment, found it cast my poem in a bad light, was afraid of it dragging down my voting, but didn't want to change the poem so it wasn't sexist. PS-I notice richa said the same thing. Do you believe me now?
Yesterday my Iraqi barber explained it to me this way: During Saddam's time, all cigarette lighters in Iraq cost 10 cents. If a merchant tried to sell a lighter for 11 cents, Saddam's police would come and kill him. That's protection. True story.

No it doesn't.
zodiac on Apostrophetic Loss by Dovina 11 Mar 2005, 10:05 PM
Colloquialisms usually don't use apostrophes - they're spoken. On the odd instance when they're written, they're written with apostrophes. I think you just mean another word. And what the hell are you talking about? The "renegade poet comedians" (except Jeremi) are the only ones writing correct grammar here. PS-Bow'ls is a real word and real usage. Bet you've got no rebuttal but "Your unsupported"! Whatever.

What?

In a poetry.com anthology?
"To those that would teach poetry" should be "To those who would teach poetry". But I guess that's the whole point.

I think so many people feel alone without understanding each other's pain because they all have exactly the same pain, but are too isolated in their Self-Pity Sheathes to care much about everyone else's pain. What do you think? -zodiac

Genius is misspelled.

"personaly I'M waiting for the news flash that all will change WE will be shed of the elite control that seeks to conform US at every corner" [emphasis added] -Rainbow_chaser PS-You could put forth the effort to actually learn to communicate in your native language. "close minded" is actually closedminded, closed-minded or closed minded.

This comment is beyond comprehensible.
zodiac on How to make a suicide bomber by Caducus 11 Mar 2005, 9:38 PM
Suppose a couple of million, say, British were somehow instantaneously teleported to Iraq and all Iraqis somehow teleported to Britain, so that the Britons suddenly find themselves occupied by an insensitive blundering foreign superpower and the Iraqis find themselves serving cranberry scones at Starbucks (this part is actually true). Do you think the Britons would become suicide bombers? Do you think the Iraqis wouldn't?
I like it a lot, similar feelings run through me all day, just couldn't put em into words... good job doin so.

Oh. Sorry.
zodiac replying on Hunger 2 by Dovina 11 Mar 2005, 9:29 PM
A) Like you'd care whatever I wrote, so why not write something funny? B) "An example of the objective, serious and helpful criticism you've so often claimed" is not grammatically correct. :-(

Know how you feel... but thats just life right.
zodiac replying on Beetwen by Dovina 11 Mar 2005, 9:27 PM
You don't have to. But notice everybody in the world reads 'teh' as 'the'. Even my Microsoft Word. First and last letters simply don't have anything to do with it. As I understand it (from my wife who degreed in language acquisition, among others) it has to do with either a certain percent of letters in their appropriate places (but not necessarily first and last) or simply a certain percent of the correct letters present. Beyond that, you'll have to ask -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. for details. But then, you'd rather gouge out your own ovaries than do that, wouldn't you? PS-One thing I love about you is how you're always willing to match something you read in an email forward against the product or real interested inquiry. Go ahead.

DOVINA: What about the expression "Stating the obvious"? ZODIAC: Still an adjective. Or as much an adjective as best in "All for the best" or husky in "Songs for the husky". Next question?
