Duffer Boot Camp!

[Glenburne]

You are disturbed, but WS is more disturbed.

Seriously, WS, the whale might have smashed you on multiple occasions, but you're not dead. You could show a little mercy. Its face is turning blue.

 

[Miss Freckles]

You are disturbed, but WS is more disturbed.

I want to print this in a cursive font in 48p and put it in a large golden frame and put it up on the wall in my living room. Don't worry, WS, you're getting a copy, too

PS. Do smilies replace punctuation marks? I think I invented that rule.

 

[Glenburne]

No.

If you continue using smilies as punctuation, then I will take back what I said about WS being more disturbed than you.

 

[WarriorSatyr]

I'm not strangling this whale! I'm giving it a big hug!

 

[Glenburne]

You are human. The whale is a whale. There is no way you could give it a big hug. You could possibly give it a small one. Unless, of course, you are simply trying to block its windpipe.

 

[WarriorSatyr]

How dare you accuse me of such a heinous act!

*Sings the song of the Whales of Death*

Whales of Death, attack!

 

[Glenburne]

Are these the ghosts of all the whales you've strangled?

 

[WarriorSatyr]

WS stands for WarriorSatyr, not Whale-Strangler.

 

[Glenburne]

Not Whale-Strangler, WhaleStrangler. Otherwise we would call you W-S, rather than WS. Punctuation matters.

 

[WarriorSatyr]

I was attempting to be semi-grammatical. Besides, I don't believe that you're supposed to include hyphens in initials and acronyms.

 

[Miss Freckles]

Dear WarriorSatyr,

we would like to extend a most cordial invitation to become a member of the League of Twisted Linguists (Prescriptive Branch). Membership benefits include sizeable discounts on dictionaries as well as participation in the annual Chomsky Championships where we compete against the Grammar Police amongst others. The Championships will be opened by Edith Freckles from Edith's Editing Club this year. She will speak on the effects of the lack of grammatical awareness on editing. It will be a rather short talk.

Kind regards
Dr. Graham Freckles, First Deputy Chairman

 

[WarriorSatyr]

Dear Dr. Graham Freckles,

I accept your most cordial invitation with a toast of cordial. Never have I read such an interesting read. Please lead me to the concessions, where I shall eat until I resemble a lead balloon.

Most insincerely,
-WarriorSatyr

 

[GondorGirl]

And suddenly I'm on the "Write a Note" thread...

 

[Miss Freckles]

Why don't you eat the thread if you don't like it? Hmpf.*

[Glenburne]

The League of Twisted Linguists is an abomination and ought to be banned. And who is Edith Freckles, if you are calling yourself Graham? Are you suffering from disassociative identity disorder?

 

[Sopespian]

I interrupt this thread to tell you all that I am awesome!
And so is Glenburne. But don't tell her I said it.

 

[Miss Freckles]

I rent out my account to people sometimes, okay? It's nice to have some money on the side...

Edith is my...




My...




My...




My former kindergarten teacher. She switched careers. It had nothing to do with me, she said.

 

[Glenburne]

If more than one person can use your account, then you should have no reason to oppose us using Glen's. Hypocrite. And DLF-abuser.

 

[Miss Freckles]

Yes to the first, oh please to the second.

 

[Glenburne]

You are eager to commit DLF abuse?

And to think. Once you said you loved him.
