To recap what's happened in your post. Not only did you do everything but engage the issue at hand but you also threw in a personal insult, a group insult and some general disparagement towards any ideas you don't agree with.
- d23 13y agoHe engaged that particular poster's issue just fine: the word salad he threw out to appear intelligent. You know how I can tell? "with regards to" and "that is now apparently" for starters.
- jahaja 13y agoEnglish is not my native language. I can agree I sometimes write in a rather "pompous" manner but it's not my intention.
- d23 13y agoFair enough -- I saw one of your other posts and I definitely didn't get the same feeling. Being overly critical seems to be the favorite past-time around here, and I seem to have fallen into that as well.
- monochr 13y agoBut "interlocutor" is just fine and dandy. Why I use that in conversations with my 5 year old niece all the time: "Now, now even if your teacher wasn't your intended interlocutrix when you called Josh 'Mr. Poopy Pants' she still was right to tell you to not be mean to him."
