> >Who introduced the mixed tenses? > you did with "Did you get them?". keep up laddy! Again, for the umpteenth time: >>> that's almost as annoying as "have you got them?" - "I do" - "do what.. do have? do got??" "Have got": past participle or whatever; "do have": present tense. That's yours, the original introduction of mixed tenses. > >Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought. > that's also a misuse of sic, but never mind, it's expected at this point No, it's a perfectly valid use of "sic" in the sense of "this is exactly how that word is supposed to be written". (Given how it's a proper name, and all.) What, you were only familiar with the other sense, that of "this is exactly how you wrote it, you numbskull "? Better piss off back to middle school and get some Bildung then. You're boring me. See ya when you've grown up.

  > you're meant to leave the supposed error in situ, not replace it with your supposed correction YAWN This: >>>> Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought. Was my own usage of it in the correct form, hence the second sense of sic, "this is how it's supposed to be written" -- not the first sense, pointing out an error. Sheesh, your reading comprehension really is below-third-grade, isn't it? Or is it just that you have the attention span of a gnat on crack? Probably both. > your life is boring.

        I neither enjoyed nor suffered an American education. Nor did I have one I was indifferent to. Maybe that's why I'm better at English than you.

        then where on Earth did you pull that definition for sic from? it's neither on Wiktionary nor in the OED I'm sure you think you're good at a lot of things and are better than everybody else, but the facts will tell a different story back to your hovel, Diplodocus Rex
