Luckily, you've shown up just as Peet disappeared, to carry the torch until his triumphant return.

 

Is your name "dragon"?

If not, why are speaking for him, and rushed into the thread.

I know why lol.

Mate you are twice my age. Should be reconsidering things. I'll tolerate it to a degree.

Have some manners and let the fellow speak for himself.

I fail to see how I am speaking for the OP, nor can discern how I "rushed into the thread" compared to your own mode of entry...

Physician, heal thyself.

 

Not saying anything in particular. The online definition of that is spam.

Be quiet.

Either are acceptable.

No.

 

yes.

mass - pertaining to, involving, or affecting a large number of people.

en masse - in a group; altogether

Yes, and when you take someone's pawn "en passant" you could say "in passing", but that would also be a similar error.

It's not an error, it's a different way to explain the same thing.

I'll let the OP ask me to be quiet if he wants to.  Weren't you just trying to make this point?

Again...physician, heal thyself.  You're not going to fare any better than you ever do.

Given the reverence that you have for the OP, I'm sure he can speak for himself without you quoting me and intervening in the discussion then.

I'm sure spelling errors are very important.

Heal yourself. You are nowhere where I would want to be.

If by different you mean "not the standard way that educated people say it", then yes.

No, by different, I mean "grammatically correct either way". wink.png

The mis-use of "in mass" (it's not a spelling error) isn't the important part.  The doubling and tripling down to save face is the issue.  Just absorb the correct phrasing and move on wink.png...

That fact that somebody was confused by the usage but understood my correction instantly makes my point for me.

I was grammatically correct, which is the only significant part of this conversation. Saving face is something you might be doing. I'm just saying I was grammatically correct.

Facts are facts. 

Sorry. I was grammatically correct despite you saying otherwise, and you were proven wrong. I think after proving I was grammatically correct, this conversation doesn't really have much more meaning so responding would be futile at this point.

You seem to have some troubles understanding how the rules work here.  People post things, the OP gets to decide what's too far off topic and block the offenders, using the blocking mechanism you seem to find objectionable.  Your impact on whether I can/should post is nil, even though it doesn't seem to stop you from trying to issue orders wink.png.  If you want to tell people to "be quiet", then you should post your own threads, where *you* will be able to block people...

I've literally been in 4 different scenes. Moderated one of them (skateboarding). Never seen anything even like it.

Blocking, reporting, the Tickler type distraction.

lol
