I taught him that! I taught the edit! I killed the triple posts!

*The crowd hoists laces above them and carries him triumphantly, marching through the forum, bathing it in his glory. A glory brought about by teaching schme the lost art of post editing, and thereby riding the forums of his infernal double posts*

[Floyd]

*Farts and disperses the crowd, in the hurry to avoid the stinking tidal wave, those carrying TSl drop him to the floor and make good there escape*

Hehehehehe, You may have tamed Schme, but you'll never tame Digestion!

I know i know it's vulgar, but it's late and i just remembered a joke one of my charries heard once about Ethan Blackrock Farting with a hawk shoved up his posterior... my memorys not so great, but i think the person who passed it on to me guarenteed it was a joke to get your Feathers Ruffling....

Edit: Sigh... why do i never make any sense...

You're English - it's our perogative...

[Floyd]

It seems to be so, just like teasing Schme because he didnt understand our sarcasm... Ahhh, how we laughed...

[TatteredShoeLace]

*kicks Floyd in the meat and potaotes and puts a beehive on HF's head* American comedy! Woooot! I'm Rick James, *****!

Edit: I read sarcasm and regrettably thought, "their talking about British humour again, I'll show them Brits how we yuck it up here in the States". *Sets himself on fire*

[Schme]

Behold, brothers and sisters, as the tyrant tries to crush the revolution through his lies and deceit! Listen as he tries to discredit you with his insincere insistence of his own benevolence and good intention! Hear him try in vain to excuse his mistakes, incompetence and corruption with excuses that are only fit for ridicule!

He does not realize that it is too late, much too late. He can no longer oppress the masses for long.[Editor's note: "Longer" and "long in the same sentence? For shame.]

Criticizing the writing is not what this is about, West. And remember, we wanted to give constructive criticism, and not to taunt and mock. Perhaps I'll correct Schme's work next time, if you're not going to correct it properly.

The people will no longer stand for it. Feel, my comrades, feel his grip on power wane and weaken!

The road to revolution will be long and hard, my comrades, but not in vain.[How can a road be in vain? Struggles can be in vain, but not objects. -Ed.]

Ed, remembered what we talked about in class the other day, about seeing deeper into things, and making sensible assumptions? It quite obviously means that the metaphorical struggle to complete the metaphorical journey down the metaphorical road, those in turn meaning, the struggle that would bring about of the revolution, would not be in vain. Perhaps you should have been listening in class instead of staring at Maria like a hungry dog.

For through our efforts shall the corrupt tyrant be deposed, and the land free from his self-

I’m sorry, Ed, but I am afraid that the rules of grammar disagree with you.

serving use of his unrightfully wielded power. [Wordy. Revise. -Ed.]

Again, Ed, we’re correcting the grammar, and not the content or writing style. I’ve already told you that.

Some of us may become bored and find something better to do with our

I’m sorry, Ed, but I think the other had intended it to read that way. Again, grammar, Ed, grammar.

time, but their sacrifices and losses [subj/verb agreement, please. -Ed.]

Ed, my boy, Ed, don’t you get it? Not their sacrifice by the group as a whole, but their personal sacrifice of themselves for the cause. It’s not that complex. I think your opinion of Schme might be affecting the way you are marking his work.

shall not be in vain, for, my comrades, we shall one day be free of this despicable dictator that is called west.

Sorry, Ed, but that’s not what he was doing. You see, he was not saying the name of the dictator, but rather the dictator which is west, implying the dictator and what west is are one in the same, rather than just saying what the dictator is called.

We shall fight him in the Suggestion forum; we shall fight him in the General Discussion forum! [These are proper names. Please capitalize them. -Ed.]

Ed, the “them” is representative of in the collective oppressor. I do not really think you understand Schme’s work. And as for the capitalization, Schme was just naming what the forums were, rather than the names of the forums, and so they are not in fact supposed to be capitalized.

Go forth, comrades, and do your patriotic duty, for the wheel of the revolution turns, and you are its cogs. [subj/verb agreement again. -Ed.]

Ed, there can be more than one metaphorical wheel. He wrote wheels, and so I think that is what he meant.

Turn is perfectly acceptable for implying turning in the present tense.

“Its”, Ed, “its”, as in the wheels belonging to the revolution.

Long live the revolution, my comrades. Long live the revolution.

Onward!

[Good concept, but work on your execution. Some grammar/spelling mistakes. Work on structure. -Ed.]*

B-

My my, someone’s very judgmental for a person who cannot even recognize a piece of literary genius when he sees it. Perhaps peer evaluation was not as good an idea as I had originally thought.

Please see me at two thirty.

No, Nick, I'm afraid that's not what I was trying to do. Not my not having done that.

Try reading it aloud, both ways. See which way works. That might help.

Now, Ed, your thinking of allowed, as it to be allowed to do something, i.e. They allowed him to evaluate his peer, but soon realized it was a grave mistake.

Now, what Schme has spelled is “aloud”, as in, out loud. Try to remember the difference.

Did you see that? schme edited!

Yay, schme!! I will join your uprising against the ubercontrollers, Nick and west. Your my hero now, and there just poo-poo heads.

But then again, who doesn't worship and admire me? I mean, a lot of people say they don't, but that's just for their ego. In secret, they have shrines to me and the like hidden away, and they prostrate themselves before idols of me daily. But if everyone does it, why are people so ashamed to admit it? Kinvoya has done the right thing. It's time to stop all the lies, my friends.

I welcome you to the ranks of the revolution, comrade. May the people rise up and take their rightful place as the controllers of online forum grammar.

(Things in between stars signify action, am I right? And I still don’t know what the hell it is you guys mean by a post whore.)

[Schme]

:lol: It seems to be so, just like teasing Schme because he didnt understand our sarcasm... Ahhh, how we laughed...

Perhaps the reason no one understands your sarcasm is because you’ve written it down, making it impossible to hear the thousands of verbal cues required to understand any normal person’s sarcasm.

I taught him that! I taught the edit! I killed the triple posts!

*bows respectfully*

And I thank you, Sensei. But now, like Stalin, I must betray the original doctrine and teachings, as that is how I operate.

[McManus]

Ohh snap

edit: ohh and your war song is ...(I was going to say gay but I didnt) not to my likeing.

[Surly]

*sighs* He's backsliding...

[west]

No, Nick, I'm afraid that's not what I was trying to do. Hence my not having done that.

Try reading it allowed, both ways. See which way works. That might help.



EDIT: I think we can all see what side Nick is on.

Do not worry, comrades, we shall soon bring to justice the agents of the evil oppressor!

Schme, I know the difference between "allowed" and "aloud" and I was pointing them out by correcting your error. Since you clearly do not remember, here is your original sentence again. -Editor.

[Does Schme perhaps not remember that "Ed." is common shorthand for "Editor?"]

[Black Canyon]

This thread has definitely got me laughing out loud....... or is that allowed?

[Surly]

It IS fairly amusing, isn't it? Draws the attention in the same way as a train wreck...

[Nick]

Schme, please learn how to use the quote tags properly...
Oh and, why were you writing in the third person in your critique of West's critique?

[kinvoya]

Schme, please learn how to use the quote tags properly...

That's just the way he operates. Don't annoy the hero of the grammar revolution, please, he's busy plotting you're overthrow and execution.

[west]

It takes more than one noisy fool to overthrow ME, as Nick knows (and kinvoya ). It takes several, well-organized and operating from a position of trust.
