    I was figured the guy was a hot-head and I was going to let it drop. But then he sent me a message telling me what an idiot and asshole I was. And he did it poorly, breaking many grammar rules.

    Therefore I figured a little public humiliation might teach him to be a little nicer or at the very least learn his own language.

    The word "english" is only capitalised when refering to a person.
    IE. The man over there is English.

    It is not capitalised when refering only to the language.
    IE: The man speaks english.

    Therefore in your sentence, "Glad you think you know the exact proper mechanics of the English language". The word "english" is being used as an adjective and not as a noun. You only capitalise proper names/nouns.

    A noun is :
    1) A person
    2) A place
    3) A thing
    And a proper noun is generally a name. Such as "Baker street" is capitalised. But the expression "baker's dozen" is not.

    Why gives a fuck? He can go download spellcheck if he cares enough to look proper while arguing online.

    Thank you Sam. I do have spell check on Mozilla, and I listen to it.

    Also Montreal Mark is I don't know, because he is still incorrect about everything. What a tool bag. A bag of dysfunctional tools. Montreal Mark you didn't prove I broke many grammar rules, except for that I forgot a comma. I neg-repped you because you're obviously a dick if you think you can get by incorrectly criticizing someone just by saying, "no offense." You proved only that your righteously incorrect self thinks your choice of language is the best, when in reality you still don't know correct English. Good job again, for being a pretentious jerk. I like to think I'm an asshole only in defense from ignorance like this. I'm not humiliated to be corrected with incorrect rules.

    You're welcome. And for the record that's not me agreeing with you, cause I'm not actually paying any attention to the argument :p

    Spellcheckers just annoy me.

    LoL That's the silly thing, I took the point out of this thread a long time ago. They annoy me too, especially in this case, when they are wrong. It's good to have folk give constructive criticism, but man is this guy conforming to French stereotypes. Of course because he can't understand something, someone else is at fault. :afro:

    Edited, and it's just fun to poke around in silly argument, me thinks. Too often do I swiftly fuck around with viewpoints, and people call them out on the count of me presenting them silly, and then it's then fun to step it up.

    Well, I suppose there is some truth to the stereotype of the dumb, ignorant and illiterate redneck. Having said that, I sincerly hope you get a gouvernment job. Because it would give me great pleasure to someday be able to read your unintelligible rants on Wikileaks. Furthermore, the rest of the world needs more verified affirmations on the pitfalls of what can happen when a society stuffs itself on cheeseburgers and sacrifices the education of its young in order build military bases.

    You continue to further your likeness with the stereotype by just blanketing the American redneck stereotype to me just because I am noticing how hypocritical, pretentious, and incorrect you are on this stupid grammar shit. Again, you blame me and label me as unintelligible because you can't completely understand English.

    By the way it's spelled Government.

    Obviously this is a communication error in your understanding of foreign languages, so it would seem sort of bigot to claim you're a dumb ass idiot. I don't think it is that. I think you just want to consider yourself more literate in English than your really are, again because you have a problem with your inconsistencies being pointed out.

    It is gouvernment and that is how it spelt in Canada. And I'm not pandering to a stereotype because I'm a francophone and not a frenchman.

    On that note,
    You are, without a doubt, an illiterate moron. Your use of the english language is both deplorable and simultaneously shocking. Because the simple and evident fact is that you converse in a manner that can only be compared to that of Homer Simpson.

    Ok Hommie,
    I concede to your superior intellect and I am therefore, quitting this conversation. In doing so, I officially declare you winner of this debate and you can now therefore, go and claim the winner's trophy.

    Only in Quebec or on any bilingual government document. That is the french spelling of the word.

    MM you are really being annoying despite being asked rather nicely to desist.

    There you go again, making me the moron because you can't understand my English, which is hardly illiterate and has proven more correct than your conception of the language.

    Your completely misplaced sense of legitimate critique has been entertaining, Sir. Thank you. Join the ranks of judgmental assholes who lazily assume me to be dumb due to a different style of communication. :)

    It's okay Heat. It's definitely annoying, but to be fair, I definitely provoked it. Mostly because it is entertaining to fiddle around with such misconceptions.

    From now on I'm probably going to lax on my english skills.

    Well to me all this business means that I'm not leaving the U.S. anytime soon except maybe to go to Canada, I'm not really comfortable being scanned/fondled by some perverted airport security guard because they think that I might have packed five pounds of C-4 into my ass... I'll take a bus.

    It sucks because I used to get weed through the airport by taping it to my inner thigh. I fly about once a year, if I follow my step dad back to his homeland of Texas, which I do like to do. Shame.

    i'm sorry to say i'm not gonna read this thread before posting (shame on me, i know, i know)

    last time i traveled via airplane was 3 weeks ago, and that was the first time in over a year. I complied with the body scan on the way to my destination and on my way home. My necklace signaled something in the scan on my return trip so I was given a thorough pat down. It was frustrating, but quick and painless.

    After seeing a segment on ABC's World News Tonight (since my trip) I have started to question whether I want to put my body through the body scan again. Apparently TSA won't let outside sources test the amount of radiation emitted during a single scan, and many suspect that the amounts are MUCH higher than TSA is claiming.

    FUCK that, next time I fly, which will be in the next 2 months, I will arrive early at the airport and request a THOROUGH pat down over the scan.

    Even though the maker of the scanners claim that the amounts of radiation are 2,000 times less than an x-ray, and 200,000 times less than a cat scan, there is still no padding put over various body parts like they do at a doctors office. I don't care...fuck that I'm getting a pat down.

    It would suck if everyone would opt for the pat down because it would slow down the time going through security, but still health is important, and if i start flying more regularly I can damn well guarantee each time I will request a pat down over the body scan.

    I don't know if this relates to the government argument goin on....but it's relevant to the topic. We have to respect our own health, and we should require TSA and the makers of these scanners to let outside sources test the amount of radiation that people are exposed to when they get scanned. In my opinion it's very sketchy that this hasn't been allowed yet...
