    Are you Glad I'm Back?

    Weatherman's gone a bit quiet recently.

    The English Language

    How many successful invasions have there been in say, the last 1000 years? Can they be counted on the fingers of a convicted arabian thief? You're quite right to point this out. With the developments in technology in the last millenium, it has been increasingly difficult for invaders to cross the Channel and North Sea . Mind you, the "damage" had already been done. Technically there was the Glorious Revolution (invasion?) in 1688, but I don't really think that counts (unless you're part of the Royal Family).

    Quality doggerel indeed. English is very complex, but only because lots of nations decided to invade us and contribute to it! The result is rich vocabulary and a pronunciation nightmare, particulary for all those from the nations that originally invaded us. We reap our revengi!

    Mary Travers

    I've heard of her, unlike Pete Libertine. Mind you, at the current rate, obituaries will probably describe Pete Libertine's primary claim to fame as being the subject of a ludicrously long thread on the deathlist.net forum.

    The English Language

    Interesting. I always thought that commas were required before conjunctions. I found this on a US website. "When a coordinating conjunction connects two independent clauses, it is often (but not always) accompanied by a comma: - Ulysses wants to play for UConn, but he has had trouble meeting the academic requirements. When the two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction are nicely balanced or brief, many writers will omit the comma: - Ulysses has a great jump shot but he isn't quick on his feet." Nothing about actual "correct" behavio(u)r.

    Look. This forum is a discussion board which is open enough to allow comment from non-registered members. If you wish to make a contribution, no-one is going to stop you, provided that the focus of the contribution is the subject of the thread and isn't a rant (see, for example, above quote). If you disagree at a fundamental level with this site, then I'd advise you to stay away and use your time more productively. On the other hand, if you'd like to contribute to the debate in a positive manner with (from what I've found) some pretty smart and well informed people, then you are most welcome. Thank you for providing me with material for my 100th post.

    Josco. Where have you and I been? Who is this guy?

    'Nuff said It was deliberate, but I'm glad you spotted it and acted appropriately. Perhaps standards are not declining after all? LP3 P.S. I did spell it correctly in my first post, you know...

    LOL Very colloquial yes. Illitterrate no. In my defence, I was attempting a minimum number of changes!

    The English Language

    Sorry Josco. Check the Oxford English Dictionary. Use of "s" used to be illiterate in this country, but now is listed as a second, alternative, spelling. Unfortunately, most Brits assume the Americans got it wrong...

    Maybe I'm too young, too square* or too ignorant, but this is a mighty long thread for someone I've never heard of... Who were the Libertines**?! * Yep. 80's child. ** Rhetorical question. I don't really care.

    Deliberately offing yourself on your birthday really skews the probability calculations. It should not be allowed.

    Ivan Noble Gone

    It was mentioned in this thread that he was left off this year's list as he didn't really pass the famousness test. Not that I'd wish cancer on anyone; and he was in remission only a few months ago... Shame.

    Simon Wiesenthal

    1) Look at forum thread topics. 2) Notice last post in "Simon Wiesenthal" topic is by "Guest". 3) Assume "Guest" has posted a rant. 4) Assume correctly. 5) Sigh.
