Oh, Milo, baby. Did you fall down and bruise your ego? Maybe you can get one of your geese to kiss it.

I simply said that, on linguistics, Professor Chomsky knows more than Mr Milo. I know this because I have read what the both of them have to say on the subject. I may disagree with Chomsky on his theory of language, but you've never really said anything substantive about language, so there.


Thanks zmjezhd, I gave my bruised ego a warm glass of milk and read to him Chomsky's quirky outmoded theory about innate syntax and he laughed himself out of bed and now he is as fit as a lion.


Now tell me Zmjezhd, linguist, why are you defending Professor Chomsky's theory of language when you disagree with it?

Is it because I have never had anything substantive about language to say? Well here I'll say something substantive...ready? Ok...

What I think is that you know that Chomsky quirky idea of innate syntax is bullspit but you lack the jowel to say it.

Well?
