Indeed but to use words in new and interesting ways you do need an intuitive grasp of their proper contexts and usage. In the case of "impress" this would have initially been used metaphorically, and through repetition of its metaphorical application the word has developed its own new and distinct homonymous meaning.
yup. Look at some of the slang terms that came out of the 60s (or any slang) that are in the dictionary now.
I completely agree, I was figuring this kid was 11 or so. How can you write "coz" in a poem basicly using internet slang and think in any way it sounds good? It could probably be used half decently but it made it look like horrible shit in this poem.
And i say again PROSE not poem prose Concise Encyclopedia Article Page 1 of 1 Literary medium distinguished from poetry especially by its greater irregularity and variety of rhythm and its closer correspondence to the patterns of everyday speech. Though it is readily distinguishable from poetry in that it does not treat a line as a formal unit, the significant differences between prose and poetry are of tone, pace, and sometimes subject matter How can you write "coz" in a poem basicly using internet slang and think in any way it sounds good? and I Quote its closer correspondence to the patterns of everyday speech. Abreviation and dialect was arround before internet In the same way some people write Hi yall. not seen yall in a dictionary.. If you can't differentiate between the two poetry & prose then who are you to coment... It was also writen in the frame of mind of a soldier who has had all he can take. Fighting another persons war in another persons land, risking his life for another persons freedom. and then being penalised for what he is doing
If i wrote in a Lancashire dialect only people from Lancs would understand it. Understand English is not the same world over. australian english ,American english and english english no way the same

You call this correct English, Mr I like the word like. How can you call anyone. just take a look at your own crap first.
Mr Iceman posting others PM's for no reason whatsoever is pretty low, childish and utterly pointless. Have a good day.
it shows that bravesirdobin should take heed of his own dictatorship and get a grasp of English, grammar and spelling before slagging anyone else off...And its not a PM its a post where he was slagging off yet another member
My only question is why bring this up into the public when this is something clearly just between you and him. Oh and by the way...I could be mistaken but I think in that PM maybe, possibly he might have been satirical.
No its between him and all the others he slaggs off for no legitimate reason. Reading his work for example his Untitled 1 He should take heed of the GUIDE LINES he gives ref to ........not that i give a shit realy cos i know he is no better than those he slates......and I like a good debate (like on this thread). all in fun realy
