Poem for Kathy, by Will Dockery

[...]
I can't think of

If I try
my emotions explode.

This is an eventful area of time in my personal history, as
some who know my biography will understand.

Was. This *was* and eventful time in your personal history.
History is, by definition, in the past, so past tense is
required.

Also, time does not have spatial dimensions, so there is no
such thing as an "area of time."

You really need to enroll in a basic English course.

Thanks for the feedback, but watch out,Cujo will call you a
"grammar Nazi."

It's all you've whined about for days

No whining, I simply noticed and pointed out that you and Miguel
both make the same grammar errors with quotation marks and commas,
periods, et cetera.

On a good note, I doubt you'll be making that same mistake again.

I never made one in the first place, you stupid fucking kook.

Look what you snipped out, Douchebag! Your dishonesty and kookiness
always seem to occur when you're posting. Or are you dishonest and kooky elsewhere, Kook?

*******************

It's all you've whined about for days, Douchebag. I notice you won't
admit I'm right, so see if No-Nads can offer you some slurpage instead.

Here you go, Dreckweasel:

Kooks love playing Grammar Gestapo. Ever notice that, Kook?

But to answer your incorrect assessment, I'll point out the following:

"When quotation marks are used at the end of a sentence, the placement
of the period depends on whether the quote is a complete sentence or a phrase.

If the quote is a complete sentence, the period is placed inside the
closing quotation mark. For example:

She said, "I'm going to the store."

If the quote is only a phrase, the period is placed outside the closing quotation mark. For example:

She said she was going to "the store on Main Street".

Note that this rule applies to American English. In British English, the period is typically placed outside the closing quotation mark, even for complete sentences."

So let's go back to the original sentence. Oh, you snipped mine out, dumbfuck. What a stupid kook you are, Douchebag!

Feel free to provide the examples of my sentences that you find
objectionable and/or incorrect, Douchebag.

Why are you so increasingly stupid?
************************

Quack more, Duckweasel!
*************************

Fair enough, since I don't have the post where I think you made the
same error that Miguel did in this thread.

If you want to defend Miguel's grammar error now, we can look at that,
which is in this thread.

Go right ahead. Post my sentence and Miguel's

You brought up that I made the same "mistake" and I'm not even sure if
Mr. Sucio made the same "mistake" in the first place.

But let's laugh at your attempted correction of Miguel and his absolute spanking of you until your fat ass was glowing red.

It is comical that you, of all people, are trying to act as if you are
an expert in the proper usage of a comma. Your missing comma in the
above sentence makes you a bigger clown than usual.

Idiot, I don't need your pass. What does the country I'm living in

*************************

Now That's a spanking!!!!!

Let's deal with the first sentence using Dance's trusted source!

***********************
Please fix the grammar in the below sentence:

"I made my comments, which corrected Cujo's and Miguel's grammar errors which, oddly, are the identical errors."

Here are a few ways to fix that sentence, depending on how natural and
clear you want it to sound.

The main issue with the original is the repetitive "which... which"
structure (called a "stacked relative clause"), along with a slightly
awkward phrasing at the end.

1. Direct & Natural (Recommended)
"I left my comments, which corrected Cujo's and Miguel's grammar
errors " oddly, the exact same mistakes."

2. Smooth & Concise
"I left my comments to correct Cujo's and Miguel's grammar errors,
which, oddly, were identical."

3. Slightly Closer to Your Original
"I made my comments, which corrected Cujo's and Miguel's grammar
errors"oddly enough, the very same errors."

What changed?
Removed the double "which": Having two "which" clauses back-to-back
creates a clunky "stacking" effect that makes sentences hard to read.

Refined "are the identical errors": Phrasings like "were identical" or
"the exact same mistakes" sound much more natural in modern English than
"are the identical errors."

Past tense consistency: Swapped "are" to "were" to keep the sentence
solidly in the past tense alongside "made" and "corrected." ************************************

Perhaps you'll understand why an idiot like yourself shouldn't be trying grammar flames, Douchebag.

Dockery is the sort of idiot that lesser idiots look up to, like some dim'witted patron saint of bad arguments. He spent pages insisting werCOd both committed the exact same comma mistake repeatedly, as part of his grand conspiracy theory that werCOre the same person. Naturally, he couldnrCOt produce a shred of evidence, then promptly gave you a free pass.

After that, he launched into a full'scale meltdown spanning over fifty pages, frothing over what he wrongly imagines to be my error, and completely abandoning his original masterplan. He's still at it, and bragging about all the comments on his corpse-dragging Kathy post.

Such failure. Such Dockery.

LOL!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Will Donkey has all the grammar skills of a short-bus variety 4th grader.

That said, Will does know his apostrophes. No matter how unintelligible his run-on sentence fragments may be, his apostrophes are always correct.

Except when he's drunk, of course... or when he's been up all night necro-bumping posts... or when he's been up all night necro-bumping posts in a drunken stupor... but apart from that, he's usually pretty good with them.

LOL!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Will Donkey has all the grammar skills of a short-bus variety 4th grader.

That said, Will does know his apostrophes. No matter how unintelligible his run-on sentence fragments may be, his apostrophes are always correct.

Except when he's drunk, of course... or when he's been up all night necro-bumping posts... or when he's been up all night necro-bumping posts in a drunken stupor... but apart from that, he's usually pretty good with them.

Or when he is correcting someone else, or when he is writing something that is "published" such as his "book" and "Playgrounds," which are chock full of errors. (Note that George Dunce is not a great proofreader.) Will Donkey imagines himself to be an authority on many things, only thwarted by that damned "auto-correct," which is responsible for everything that he has done wrong. He personally is without grammar sin. Or tizzy.

Here you go, Dreckweasel:

Kooks love playing Grammar Gestapo. Ever notice that, Kook?

But to answer your incorrect assessment, I'll point out the following:

"When quotation marks are used at the end of a sentence, the placement
of the period depends on whether the quote is a comple te sentence or a phrase.

If the quote is a complete sentence, the period is placed inside the
closing quotation mark. For example:

She said, "I'm going to the store."

If the quote is only a phrase, the period is placed outside the closing quotation mark. For example:

She said she was going to "the store on Main Street".

Note that this rule applies to American English.

No, that rule applies to British English. The rule for American
English is:
"Put the period inside the quotation marks. (This is a rule without exception.)"

In British English, the
period is typically placed outside the closing quotation mark, even for complete sentences."

Wrong again. The rule of British English is to treat commas and
periods the same as other punctuation marks, and put them
outside the quotation marks unless they form part of the quoted
material (in which case they go inside).

Thank you ever so much for proving Dockery wrong. IrCOve been pointing that out throughout his 110+ page screed of confusion. The moment he finally grasped that geography matters, he promptly went off the rails and began demanding to know where I live. It's typical behaviour for him to change the parameters of the debate when a loss is imminent.
I grew up in several different places, so I occasionally mix grammar rules, and the same goes for spelling. Sometimes itrCOs simply preference, like choosing double quotation marks because I prefer how they look over single.
In any case, the internet is multi'cultural, and anyone attempting to police grammar according to each posterrCOs birthplace would lose their mind rather quickly. Dockery didnrCOt even bother distinguishing between where I live and where I was actually educated.

I suppose if I took a holiday in Montreal, herCOd expect me to start following the rules of fran|oais qu|-b|-cois. Classic Dockery logic.
