My. You do persist. Ok grapho, now once again, s l o w l y...

You'll never become a better,
if you admit to having betters.

That's the rule. Period.

You don't see themilum and themgmt insulting our betters do you? Why?--because we have none. Except, maybe R.A. Lafferty, who is dead.

Tell me, grapho, in high school, were you not invited to the Senior Prom? Did the Carpal Tunnel guys get all the chicks? Well, let me tell you one swinging thing, grapho, they still do, that is, except for the Carpal Tunnel guys that are girls.

Look around...you don't see me and themgmt throwing fits and being persona non grata, do you? No. We are fully aware that this board belongs to those who input.

Sure Jackie can pull the plug at her whim, and I bet that sometimes she is sorely tempted by your hijinks, but she is, so far, an honorable person, and she realizes that Awad's raison d'tait is to provide a wordwide forum to all who hold a compelling interest in language (especially English); And she knows well that diverse opinions engender interesting talk. So even you with your Paris Hilton fetish are tolerated on this board for the nonce.

But be warned. If you ever hope to become a thegrapho, like themgmt and themilum, or may Pooh-bah forbid, a Carpal Tunnel...you'd best clean up your act.
