@spencert94 If you knew gross tonnage wasn't weight, then why did you say it was weight? 2nd Allure is longer making it larger, both have the same gross tonnage according to RCI International. They even posted all over the Allure that its 5 cm makes a difference.
@TITANICLUSITANIA well according to the captain of the oasis its gross tonnage is slightly higher making it bigger than the allure while the allure is only slightly longer.. according to him
@TITANICLUSITANIA I know its slightly longer but if the oasis has a larger gross tonnage it means it has a larger internal volume making it the biggest not the longest
@TITANICLUSITANIA yes well im assuming the oasis isn't exactly 225,282 GT seeing as it is a large unit of measurement and no recordings of GT ever use any decimal places, I also think that the captain of the ship would know more about the exact gross tonnage then owners who really only care about the profit
@spencert94 You're completely wrong. STX Europe who build the ship keep archives online, google them. They only build the ship, the main profit doesn't go to them. They claim both ships to be 225,282 GT, despite the fact that both ships were actually supposed to be 220,000 GT. They both came in larger than expected. What do you mean didn't use decimal places? That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
@TITANICLUSITANIA I mean the difference between 225,282 GT and 225,283 GT is 35 cubic feet and I doubt that either ship is exactly 225,282 GT. The oasis could have as a little as one cubic millimeter more space making it larger, while having no effect on the recorded gross tonnage
@spencert94 I think you don't even know what you're saying anymore. Like I said STX Europe both recorded the EXACT tonnage of the ships. Proven by the fact that both came in larger than expected. If anything Allure would be slightly larger because she's longer. Theres no way that something that is the same height, same width, and slightly shorter than another object can have more volume than the a same hight same width and slightly longer object.
@TITANICLUSITANIA I understand what your saying the ship builders recored the exact same gross tonnage for each ship and that they actually measured it rather then estimated through other calculations proven by that it was larger then expected. also the Norwegian Epic which has a smaller length and beam still has a higher GT then freedom. but I'm saying a ton is large unit of measurement so much so that the volume difference between the oasis and the allure is not recorded.
@spencert94 The Norwegian Epic has more GT than Freedom because she's actually taller. Queen Mary 2 is Longer, and Taller than Freedom, yet Freedom is wider making her larger. Norwegian Epic is also taller than the Queen, that's why its larger than Freedom and the Queen. If they didn't measure Allure and Oasis precisely then they would've never figured that Allure is actually longer and both came in larger than expected.
I think its funny that we say things like "its the biggest in the universe" when we have no idea what else is in the universe. There could be some other life out there that has a bigger boat on their planet. I know i sound very literal, but whats wrong with just saying biggest boat on earth. Thats still pretty impressive. haha
@xesior You are correct, the Knock Nevis has officialy been demolished. Ironicaly they destroyed her for being so large yet they built the TI Asia which has a huge draft. Not the 83 foot on the Knock Nevis but still a huge one.
@horizonflyer9 I think the largest operational vessels are supertankers which are about 1200 feet long and weigh a quarter of a million tons. The largest ship ever built, is the Knock Nevis at over half a million tons.
The Titanic movie has brainwashed all pepole to think that she is still biggest but that ship is allmost 100 years old and she was only biggest until 1914
@Lacien132 No it's not. EVERY modern cruise ship is bigger than the Titanic. The newest cruise ship, the Oasis Of The Seas, is 5 times bigger than the Titanic. The biggest container ship is the Knock Nevis. oh, and I'm not saying I hate the Titanic.
@2011LEGOFAN Actually, the "Allure of the Seas", a sister ship to the "Oasis" is the newest one and by nitpicking the biggest cruiser (2 inches longer than OotS) since October 2010.
@Lacien132: you need to free your brain from the stupidity of cameron and the joke of a "movie" called titanic as the real Titanic is a raft compared to the cruise ships that are out in the ocean. The REAL Titanic could fit into a small corner of the modern cruise ships while the REAL Titanic would barely take up any space in the modern oil tankers and container ships.
In the meantime james cameron's "movies" titanic = absolute SHIT GARBAGE TRASH DIRT.
HOLY $#!T !!!!! i was there 2!!!!! and I meanz there there, like i thinkz i was standing near your locationz when this was happened. were u in a crowd???? cuz if so, i waz therez!!!!!!!!
Such a small ship, go search for Ventura, Independence of the Seas & both, Oasis of the Seas & Allure of the Seas, Cunard is no match to Royal Caribbean International.
And yes I have been on the Cunard range of cruise ships, nothing amazing compared to RCI or P&O, even P&O is pretty boring compared to RCI.
@SuperAncientmariner In your statement correction, Woodscritter meant the 'boat' was actually a 'lifeboat', as demonstrated in the video. It depicts the Queen Mary 2 passing under the Golden Gate Bridge. Now, see the small orange-looking pod-like structures? They're lifeboats, you know, life-saving boats. That's what he meant by "A "boat" can be carried on a ship, except for a submarine.", because lifeboats can't be carried by submarines.
@Tundraboy05 I was not correcting woodscritter, I was providing the full quotation in order to verify his point.
Also, as my user name implies, I am an ex sailor. Over 30 years Royal Navy (18 in Submarines)and further service with Cunard and P&O lines. I am aware of what a ships boats look like and what Submarines can or cannot carry.
To be pendantic,as you try to be, that big thing going under the Golden Gate is not, by definition, a ship.
@Tundraboy05 Woodscritter used part of a phrase to define the difference between a boat and a ship ("a boat can be carried on a ship") Now, if you go back and read things properly, you will see that I wrote the full phrase ("a boat can be carried on a ship but a ship cannot be carried on a boat") So would you care to explain how you could misconstrue that as a correction. The mention of submarines was superfluous as they are called boats anyway.
@SuperAncientmariner His phrase is correct, however when you say "a ship can be carried on a boat", it doesn't make sense because ships these days are nearly the size of 8 apartment complexes combined. Why are you accusing me of reading thing incorrectly? How do I know you didn't even understand the words "ship" and "boat" correctly, because their proportions are almost entirely different, so the context and sense of your phrases won't be understood correctly just because you don't understand.
@Tundrabor05 Consider, in your dimensions theory, a lightship is considerably smaller than a cross Channel ferry boat and, just on the side, a ship can carry a ship. (research Heavy Lift Vessels).
But I digress. Whether you do or do not wish to be pedantic, all things considered, you are being so.
@Tundraboy05 If you wish to task me on my own language you will have to better than that. But I have placed a deliberate mistake for you to hunt out in this answer. Have fun.
@SuperAncientmariner To anyone with a modicum of intellect it would be painfully obvious that, with "t" next to "y", I hit the wrong key. That you should require an explanation for it intreagues me. As for spaces after a comma. Elementary knowledge of punctuation would tell you that a comma always has a space following it, irrespective of whether it is a "listing" comma, a"joining " comma, a "gapping" coma or a "bracketing" comma. You should ask why I had a space between "two" and "when"...cont
@SuperAncientmariner You also spelled "intrigues" and "gaping" incorrectly, and there is never a space after a comma, because there would be no point as to putting one there, so why should you space out commas from letters?
@SuperAncientmariner That was purely because, having missed it out, I put it in during editing. I am also interested that you make no mention of the omission of punctuation in the contractions. Furthermore, as you wish to discuss correct punctuation, your use of the apostrophe between the e and d was incorrect. As it is being used as a replacement for the o in do, it should come after the d. So you should have written it thus: where d'.
@SuperAncientmariner What the hell are you talking about? You don't put the apostrophe behind the d, because the d represents the word "did", as a contraction! You obviously haven't gripped the concept of contractions because of your little demonstration of the abomination of punctuational and grammatical usage: "where d'", which is entirely incorrect because like I just explained, "where'd" is an ILLEGITIMATE contraction, which is why it is looked upon as being incorrect, it means WHERE DID.
@Tundraboy05 Gosh, you are clever. In a list of four commas, I miss an "m" out of one of them. That is not a punctuation mistake, and the other three obviously indicate that I know the spelling. Yyou found the deliberate mistakes on the two words. Well done .Regarding the contraction, I was under the impression that you were saying "where do you come from" not "where did you come from" You should make your statements clearer
@SuperAncientmariner In this comment, there's a space before the period, and after the word. Why is that?
The statement "Where do you come from" wouldn't make general sense since people these days don't even speak like that anymore, which is probably why you were under the impression that "did" was actually "do".
Obviously if you were under the impression that "'d" meant "do", then it wouldn't make sense while trying to pronounce the word, because it seems nearly impossible.
@Tundraboy05 I will concede to not having great typing skills so the odd slip up occurs. There is no rule governing full stops (sorry ..Periods) having a space after a word in the same way that there is with a comma.
"Where do you come from"? is a perfectly normal way of asking just thatand makes perfect sense. Try "What d'ya do for a living"? Is that impossible.?
@SuperAncientmariner one. Exactly. two. Rules do apply to periods, in addition to commas; you don't space them between the last letter in a statement, and itself. three. Error: "there are,however" Spacing error within a comma, error by YOUR own standards. four. "d'ya" is not a legit contraction, so it is almost rarely used in the English language. five. No one said impossible could be wrong. I didn't say your context was incorrect.
@Tundraboy05 And I'm afraid you did say impossible was wrong.to which I asked "Why ?" Who said a ship can be carried on a boat?
Proportions of ships and boats. Welcome to my world. I assume you have not read all of my entries so I will repeat in a way my grandson could understand. A ship is, by definition, a vessel with 3 or more masts all square rigged. But forget that as it seems too complex for you. .....cont
Would you stop being so goddamn rude? Do you see me being rude to you? I bet you don't, but since you're pressing on it so hard, I'll stoop down to your level, and be rude:
I don't care if a "ship" has three masts, that's not the proportional concept of a "ship" these days; which is why Queen Mary 2 up there is considered as a cruise "ship", besides, where are her three masts? Can you point them out? I guess that seems too complex as well for you, doesn't it?
@Tundraboy0WTF are you smoking. Other than you put a full stop(period to you) at the end of a statement there are no rules to that mark, furthermore, I don't follow what you mean by "space them between the last letter of a statement and itself"..... ..?
Yes, "however" should have been in bracketing commas.
Take it from an Englishman in England that "d'ya" or "d'you" is not only a legitimate contraction but a commonly used one.
@SuperAncientmariner Are YOU smoking? Maybe you don't understand the damn concept of "space between them (PERIOD) and the last letter of a statement", I didn't say all of that, what I meant was:
end of a statement . <- Something you've been doing commonly
yield , continuation of a statement <- Something you've been doing commonly
So before you accuse someone of smoking, try honing your keyboarding and punctuational skills please.
@Tundraboy05 There is no rule about a space or lack of space between a period and the preceding letter. I will give you two examples. 1) Example. 2) Example . Note one with a space and one without. Both are perfectly acceptable
Your use of an angle bracket and a hyphen must be an Americanism as it is not a familiar form of punctuation to me.
Please give an example of my rudeness as I am not aware of being rude to you.
1) I have not used angled brackets with hyphens anywhere whereas you have. (Refer back a bit )
2) I have not avoided the question of rudeness. On the contrary. Again, by referring back, you will see that I requested an example of my rudeness. A request that you have ignored. So I update the request by asking for the original example of rudeness Plus any consequent example.
@Tundraboy05 now, if you think that was rude, vulgar or insulting, you would be wrong. That is me being genteel. Having seen the remarks you are capable of, any time you want a real slanging match,.....bring it on wazzock.
@Tundraboy05 ...3) Suggest you learn the rules of compound modifiers and the use of hyphens as such. The term square rigged is unambiguous so does not require a hyphen. It is one of those terms that can have a hyphen but does not need one.
4) In a post to another user, you refered to a British accent in a derogatory insult prompting my question. Again, i say,refer back
I did not say you could not recognise a square rigged mast. I said I doubt you would know the 3 masts on the QM2. .
@SuperAncientmariner A hyphen is a common usage in the English language. Hundreds of words are hyphenated when they need to be, like "square-rigged", since they aren't a single, conjoined word, the hyphen defeats the purpose by spacing the words out, but with something still between them, which is the hyphen.
So in this case, the hyphen isn't an Americanism, you should work on your Briticism because I know they hyphenate words there and wherever you are as well.
@Tundraboy05 I am not at all interested in your "proportional concept" a ship. The description I gave was the maritime definition of a ship given, I might add, as a point of interest rather than a statement of fact. I could point out that, strictly speaking, she does have three masts but I do not think you recognise them if I pointed them out to you (Anyway, they are not square rigged.) .
@SuperAncientmariner Are you calling me retarded? I can't recognized non-square rigged masts even if you pointed them out? I bet I could, even with my five years of experience studying World War One ships, even if I'm fourteen.
@Tundraboy05 A mast is defined as being a vertical or near vertical spar, so you can, by knowing this, work out where they are. What relevance have W.W.1 ships on the study of square rigged vessels.?
I still say that you do not read things through or assimilate that which is written.
@SuperAncientmariner Obviously a mast is vertical, the smaller, horizontal bars are for the maritime signals and flags, and sometimes, the whistle. Can you comprehend this information without demonstrating vulgarity towards someone? The relevancy of the World War 1 ships include them all having masts.
Even if you say I don't completely read things, what makes you think I don't? Just because the relevancy of the question that was asked was infrequent doesn't mean I don't read things through.
1) Yes you did. I pointed out that I was unfamiliar with the usage you put them to. (the "Americanism") and you reposted with ".........if this is unfamiliar to you then why are you using it.?"
2) So why have you not answered my requests.
3) You accused me of being rude and I am asking you where and when was I rude.
4) Read the definition of a mast again. Masts are not always vertical.
5) The horizontal "bars" are called yards and, on square riggers, are for sails.
@Tundraboy05 Altercation also means dissagreemnt. Angle brackets.....I'm not worried about your use of them, it's just that they are not used that way over here (you check where and how you used them) and so to me your usage is an Americanism. Either that or you made mistakes.
My punctuational accuracy is quite adequate. You are the only one who seems to have a problem.
I'm still waitibg for the answers to my requests. If you don't know what they are go back.
@SuperAncientmariner You can't 'waitibg', because: 1. It's not a word. 2. It's not a usable verb. 3. Even if it was a word, it's still not a usable verb. 4. Verbs don't end in "-ibg." 5. If I have a problem, according to you, then why haven't I made a typo yet? "Dissagreemnt" doesn't exist, because: 1. You can't "dissagree" 2. "Dissagreemnt" isn't a word. 3. "Dissagreemnt" is obviously a severe typo. Your punctuational usages are defunct because: 1. You've created two typos.
@Tundraboy05 I am here again, some hours since my last entry, for a reason. I have just been perusing further back that I previously did and came across your dialog with TitanicLusitania. I find it amusing that you feign being hurt by vulgarity and rudeness given what you have written there. I can only assume that you are, therefore, a "wind-up merchant" in which case you have nothing to say that is of interest to me. Or perhaps you are a hypocrite.
@SuperAncientmariner Who wouldn't be 'hurt' by vulgarity? You're saying incoherently that I don't need to use my feelings? If I'm a so-called 'wind-up merchant', then why are you even reading what me and TitanicLusitania have been arguing about?
@Tundraboy05 I came across your previous dialog by chance. In answer to your other questions, I suggest you go right back to the beginning of our discourse and read them. You first reply was an attack on my punctuation, (an unwritten rule on these pages is you don't have a go at people for that). Then you act hurt because I'm rude when you had had been equaly and more so.
Use of angle brackets. Go back 3 pages from here. It was you that used them and I questioned. I could go on
@SuperAncientmariner Wait, 'attack'? Who said anything about a direct altercation?
Besides, why are you worried about my use of angled brackets? No, you can't say the same about your punctuational usages because you need to quote: 'study the entries of' your punctuational usages.
@SuperAncientmariner I've also noticed that you still continue to be rude after I asked you the question as to why you're being so, but you avoided the question and continued our original conversation.
@Tundraboy05 I stand by my comment that you do not assimilate that which you read as you would recall that I used the term ".......by definition" in my statement. And of course I know that it is refered to as a ship in contemporary parlance
@Tundraboy05 Back now, had to go for a bit. Now this discourse has been pleasant but back to my original question. What is wrong with having a British accent. ?
@Tundraboy05 I will concede to not having great typing skills so the odd slip up occurs. There is no rule governing full stops (sorry ..Periods) having a space after a word in the same way that there is with a comma.
"Where do you come from"? is a perfectly normal way of asking just thatand makes perfect sense. Try "What d'ya do for a living"? Is that impossible.?
There was no correction to the lifeboat remark. I was a provision ot the full staement
@Tundraboy05 Regarding commas and the spacing thereof. I will quote from a book on Punctuation by R.L.Trask Ph.D, lecturer in linguisticsand grammer and author of several books on the subject:
"the four uses of the comma are called the listing comma, the joining comma, the gapping comma and bracketing commas. Each use has it's own rules, but note that a comma is never preceeded by a white space and is always followed by a white space.
My "Yyou" is a slip while typing and not an error.
@Tundraboy05 Re apostrophe. As I explained, I presumed you were saying "where do you come from." in which case the apostrophe after the "d" to cover the missing "o" is perfectly correct. Ever heard of a song "D' ye ken John Peel" ? Look back and tell me where I said that a comma has a space before it. The fact that mine do not should indicate to a moron that they do not but ,as i said, they do have a space after.
@SuperAncientmariner "Where'd" as in "Where Did", in the style of a conjunction. Now, you were quoting some sort of Old English title? "D' ye" means "Do you", but I'm unsure about the word 'ken'. It seems as if I made an error myself, not grammatically nor punctuational. I meant "Why is there a space before your comma, and not after it?", not why there's a space after a comma, silly me. Other than that, you should work on your keyboarding skills.
@SuperAncientmariner If you're trying to be disrespectful, don't take me there because I am surely not in the mood, now before you ended your semi-last statement, there is clearly a space in front of that comma, before the word "but", as quoted:
"The fact that mine do not should indicate to a moron that they do not but ,as i said, they do have a space after."
So please type correctly before referring to someone as being a moron, because you demonstrated a non-intentional error.
@SuperAncientmariner For the third time, unfortunately, something extremely random occurred, so I'll have to re-re-recite (no, that's not an error) what I just said:
If commas are supposed to have spaces before them, why do your recent comments not have spaces before their commas? Either you know you're wrong about the commas themselves, or they're so-called 'deliberate' errors that you've inserted to make me 'hunt' them out.
@stinkybeans75 Wow you're out of your league, Allure of the seas is the biggest Cruise ship (which is a whopping 40% larger than Independence of the seas), Queen Mary 2 is the biggest Ocean Liner, and Knock Nevis aka Jahare Viking is the largest ever constructed.
Independence isn't a liner, it's a cruise ship, the Queen Mary 2 on the other hand is build as an Ocean Liner making her the last of her kind in service, and the biggest of her kind in service.
@stinkybeans75 Wow you're out of your league, Allure of the seas is the biggest Cruise ship (which is a whopping 40% larger than Independence of the seas), Queen Mary 2 is the biggest Ocean Liner, and Knock Nevis aka Jahare Viking is the largest ever constructed.
Independence isn't a liner, it's a cruise ship, the Queen Mary 2 on the other hand is build as an Ocean Liner making her the last of her kind in service, and the biggest of her kind in service.
@markhellstone Technically the Queen Mary 2 isn't a cruise ship she is an ocean liner, and she is the largest of her kind (Ocean Liners) I believe Knock Nevis is the largest ship ever, which is an oil tanker.
@TITANICLUSITANIA yes she is a cruise ship, she does not only cruise between usa and uk. and that dude said the oasis was the biggest one, and that was the ship i was calling cruise ship, and yeah the ulcc are the biggest ships in the world but they are not in service anymore. the biggest ship in service is maersk e-type ships. understood?
@markhellstone Queen Mary 2 is not build like a cruise ship, therefore she is NOT a cruise ship, she is an OCEAN LINER, and you can even look it up on many sources and you will see what I'm telling you, Ocean Liners are different from Cruise Ships, QM2 is more efficient than cruise ships. Even though the Knock Nevis is scrapped she is the largest ship ever constructed period.
@TITANICLUSITANIA IT DOESN´T MATTER IF SHE IS A CRUISE SHIP OR A OCEAN LINER that dude said oasis was the biggest SHIP in the world, and i said that it wasn´t true, and it isn´t so what are you yelling about
@markhellstone Yelling ha that's a good one, I don't yell only people without class like you would yell. potbd is an ignorant FYI he is a 10 year old that doesn't know anything about ships he thinks oasis is the biggest ever, but he's wrong the biggest ship EVER is Knock Nevis the biggest ship IN SERVICE is the TI Asia.
@TITANICLUSITANIA dude, calm down why do you keep replying to me, i understand this its that other guy that doesn´t understand so calm down and explain to him (but he won´t understand)
@markhellstone I'm not mad, I'am calm, trust me if I weren't I would be using big words. I already explained to him, but like I told you he is a little kid just ignore him, as for you I was telling you that QM2 is an ocean liner not a cruise ship, because I thought you called the Queen a cruise ship.

spencert94 6 months ago
@spencert94 You're completely wrong. STX Europe who build the ship keep archives online, google them. They only build the ship, the main profit doesn't go to them. They claim both ships to be 225,282 GT, despite the fact that both ships were actually supposed to be 220,000 GT. They both came in larger than expected. What do you mean didn't use decimal places? That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
TITANICLUSITANIA 6 months ago
@TITANICLUSITANIA I mean the difference between 225,282 GT and 225,283 GT is 35 cubic feet and I doubt that either ship is exactly 225,282 GT. The oasis could have as a little as one cubic millimeter more space making it larger, while having no effect on the recorded gross tonnage
spencert94 6 months ago
@spencert94 I think you don't even know what you're saying anymore. Like I said STX Europe both recorded the EXACT tonnage of the ships. Proven by the fact that both came in larger than expected. If anything Allure would be slightly larger because she's longer. Theres no way that something that is the same height, same width, and slightly shorter than another object can have more volume than the a same hight same width and slightly longer object.
TITANICLUSITANIA 6 months ago
@TITANICLUSITANIA I understand what your saying the ship builders recored the exact same gross tonnage for each ship and that they actually measured it rather then estimated through other calculations proven by that it was larger then expected. also the Norwegian Epic which has a smaller length and beam still has a higher GT then freedom. but I'm saying a ton is large unit of measurement so much so that the volume difference between the oasis and the allure is not recorded.
spencert94 6 months ago
@spencert94 The Norwegian Epic has more GT than Freedom because she's actually taller. Queen Mary 2 is Longer, and Taller than Freedom, yet Freedom is wider making her larger. Norwegian Epic is also taller than the Queen, that's why its larger than Freedom and the Queen. If they didn't measure Allure and Oasis precisely then they would've never figured that Allure is actually longer and both came in larger than expected.

That's no "boat"- it's very much a "ship."
A "boat" can be carried on a "ship" except for a submarine.
woodscritter 1 year ago
@woodscritter I think the saying you are looking for is "A ship can carry a boat, a boat cannot carry a ship"
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner In your statement correction, Woodscritter meant the 'boat' was actually a 'lifeboat', as demonstrated in the video. It depicts the Queen Mary 2 passing under the Golden Gate Bridge. Now, see the small orange-looking pod-like structures? They're lifeboats, you know, life-saving boats. That's what he meant by "A "boat" can be carried on a ship, except for a submarine.", because lifeboats can't be carried by submarines.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 I was not correcting woodscritter, I was providing the full quotation in order to verify his point.
Also, as my user name implies, I am an ex sailor. Over 30 years Royal Navy (18 in Submarines)and further service with Cunard and P&O lines. I am aware of what a ships boats look like and what Submarines can or cannot carry.
To be pendantic,as you try to be, that big thing going under the Golden Gate is not, by definition, a ship.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner So you weren't correcting him on the correct phrase he was looking for?
If the Queen Mary 2 isn't a ship, then what is it?
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 Woodscritter used part of a phrase to define the difference between a boat and a ship ("a boat can be carried on a ship") Now, if you go back and read things properly, you will see that I wrote the full phrase ("a boat can be carried on a ship but a ship cannot be carried on a boat") So would you care to explain how you could misconstrue that as a correction. The mention of submarines was superfluous as they are called boats anyway.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner His phrase is correct, however when you say "a ship can be carried on a boat", it doesn't make sense because ships these days are nearly the size of 8 apartment complexes combined. Why are you accusing me of reading thing incorrectly? How do I know you didn't even understand the words "ship" and "boat" correctly, because their proportions are almost entirely different, so the context and sense of your phrases won't be understood correctly just because you don't understand.

@SuperAncientmariner To anyone with a modicum of intellect it would be painfully obvious that, with "t" next to "y", I hit the wrong key. That you should require an explanation for it intreagues me. As for spaces after a comma. Elementary knowledge of punctuation would tell you that a comma always has a space following it, irrespective of whether it is a "listing" comma, a"joining " comma, a "gapping" coma or a "bracketing" comma. You should ask why I had a space between "two" and "when"...cont

Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner That was purely because, having missed it out, I put it in during editing. I am also interested that you make no mention of the omission of punctuation in the contractions. Furthermore, as you wish to discuss correct punctuation, your use of the apostrophe between the e and d was incorrect. As it is being used as a replacement for the o in do, it should come after the d. So you should have written it thus: where d'.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner What the hell are you talking about? You don't put the apostrophe behind the d, because the d represents the word "did", as a contraction! You obviously haven't gripped the concept of contractions because of your little demonstration of the abomination of punctuational and grammatical usage: "where d'", which is entirely incorrect because like I just explained, "where'd" is an ILLEGITIMATE contraction, which is why it is looked upon as being incorrect, it means WHERE DID.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 Gosh, you are clever. In a list of four commas, I miss an "m" out of one of them. That is not a punctuation mistake, and the other three obviously indicate that I know the spelling. Yyou found the deliberate mistakes on the two words. Well done .Regarding the contraction, I was under the impression that you were saying "where do you come from" not "where did you come from" You should make your statements clearer
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner In this comment, there's a space before the period, and after the word. Why is that?
The statement "Where do you come from" wouldn't make general sense since people these days don't even speak like that anymore, which is probably why you were under the impression that "did" was actually "do".
Obviously if you were under the impression that "'d" meant "do", then it wouldn't make sense while trying to pronounce the word, because it seems nearly impossible.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 I will concede to not having great typing skills so the odd slip up occurs. There is no rule governing full stops (sorry ..Periods) having a space after a word in the same way that there is with a comma.
"Where do you come from"? is a perfectly normal way of asking just thatand makes perfect sense. Try "What d'ya do for a living"? Is that impossible.?
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner Noone said that there was a rule involving spaces in front of commas and periods after they end a sentence or yield one.
The following errors have been discovered:
one.
"thatand": located in first statement of second paragraph.
two.
"d'ya": located in second statement of second paragraph.
three.
"impossible.?": located in second statement of second paragraph.
Try fixing these intentional and unintentional errors, then try again.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 You started this so;
a) who is noone? surely you meant no one. (error by your own standards, to whit "thatand")
b)If no rules apply to periods, why did you ask why there was a space before the period?
c) There are,however rules concerning the placement of commas as explained earlier.
d) d'ya= phonetic contraction of do you and said as one word and perfectly correct.
e)why is impossible wrong. Context is correct, spelling is correct

@Tundraboy05 And I'm afraid you did say impossible was wrong.to which I asked "Why ?" Who said a ship can be carried on a boat?
Proportions of ships and boats. Welcome to my world. I assume you have not read all of my entries so I will repeat in a way my grandson could understand. A ship is, by definition, a vessel with 3 or more masts all square rigged. But forget that as it seems too complex for you. .....cont

Would you stop being so goddamn rude? Do you see me being rude to you? I bet you don't, but since you're pressing on it so hard, I'll stoop down to your level, and be rude:
I don't care if a "ship" has three masts, that's not the proportional concept of a "ship" these days; which is why Queen Mary 2 up there is considered as a cruise "ship", besides, where are her three masts? Can you point them out? I guess that seems too complex as well for you, doesn't it?
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 No errors to fix.
And a ship is defined, even today,as a vessel with three or more masts, square rigged on all. Q.M.2 is a VLPV.
Like I said, you want to be pedantic, lets be pedantic.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner No errors to fix? How about I fix that pretty little comma spacing error you have up there:
"today,as a vessel" should be changed to "today, as a vessel".
Besides, I didn't say I wanted to be pedantic.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy0WTF are you smoking. Other than you put a full stop(period to you) at the end of a statement there are no rules to that mark, furthermore, I don't follow what you mean by "space them between the last letter of a statement and itself"..... ..?
Yes, "however" should have been in bracketing commas.
Take it from an Englishman in England that "d'ya" or "d'you" is not only a legitimate contraction but a commonly used one.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner Are YOU smoking? Maybe you don't understand the damn concept of "space between them (PERIOD) and the last letter of a statement", I didn't say all of that, what I meant was:
end of a statement . <- Something you've been doing commonly
yield , continuation of a statement <- Something you've been doing commonly
So before you accuse someone of smoking, try honing your keyboarding and punctuational skills please.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 There is no rule about a space or lack of space between a period and the preceding letter. I will give you two examples. 1) Example. 2) Example . Note one with a space and one without. Both are perfectly acceptable
Your use of an angle bracket and a hyphen must be an Americanism as it is not a familiar form of punctuation to me.

1) I have not used angled brackets with hyphens anywhere whereas you have. (Refer back a bit )
2) I have not avoided the question of rudeness. On the contrary. Again, by referring back, you will see that I requested an example of my rudeness. A request that you have ignored. So I update the request by asking for the original example of rudeness Plus any consequent example.

3. What original example of rudeness was there?

@Tundraboy05 now, if you think that was rude, vulgar or insulting, you would be wrong. That is me being genteel. Having seen the remarks you are capable of, any time you want a real slanging match,.....bring it on wazzock.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 ...3) Suggest you learn the rules of compound modifiers and the use of hyphens as such. The term square rigged is unambiguous so does not require a hyphen. It is one of those terms that can have a hyphen but does not need one.
4) In a post to another user, you refered to a British accent in a derogatory insult prompting my question. Again, i say,refer back
I did not say you could not recognise a square rigged mast. I said I doubt you would know the 3 masts on the QM2. .
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner A hyphen is a common usage in the English language. Hundreds of words are hyphenated when they need to be, like "square-rigged", since they aren't a single, conjoined word, the hyphen defeats the purpose by spacing the words out, but with something still between them, which is the hyphen.
So in this case, the hyphen isn't an Americanism, you should work on your Briticism because I know they hyphenate words there and wherever you are as well.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 I am not at all interested in your "proportional concept" a ship. The description I gave was the maritime definition of a ship given, I might add, as a point of interest rather than a statement of fact. I could point out that, strictly speaking, she does have three masts but I do not think you recognise them if I pointed them out to you (Anyway, they are not square rigged.) .
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner Are you calling me retarded? I can't recognized non-square rigged masts even if you pointed them out? I bet I could, even with my five years of experience studying World War One ships, even if I'm fourteen.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 A mast is defined as being a vertical or near vertical spar, so you can, by knowing this, work out where they are. What relevance have W.W.1 ships on the study of square rigged vessels.?
I still say that you do not read things through or assimilate that which is written.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner Obviously a mast is vertical, the smaller, horizontal bars are for the maritime signals and flags, and sometimes, the whistle. Can you comprehend this information without demonstrating vulgarity towards someone? The relevancy of the World War 1 ships include them all having masts.
Even if you say I don't completely read things, what makes you think I don't? Just because the relevancy of the question that was asked was infrequent doesn't mean I don't read things through.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 In answer;
1) Yes you did. I pointed out that I was unfamiliar with the usage you put them to. (the "Americanism") and you reposted with ".........if this is unfamiliar to you then why are you using it.?"
2) So why have you not answered my requests.
3) You accused me of being rude and I am asking you where and when was I rude.
4) Read the definition of a mast again. Masts are not always vertical.
5) The horizontal "bars" are called yards and, on square riggers, are for sails.

@Tundraboy05 I came across your previous dialog by chance. In answer to your other questions, I suggest you go right back to the beginning of our discourse and read them.

@Tundraboy05 Regarding commas and the spacing thereof. I will quote from a book on Punctuation by R.L.Trask Ph.D, lecturer in linguisticsand grammer and author of several books on the subject:
"the four uses of the comma are called the listing comma, the joining comma, the gapping comma and bracketing commas. Each use has it's own rules, but note that a comma is never preceeded by a white space and is always followed by a white space.
My "Yyou" is a slip while typing and not an error.
SuperAncientmariner 1 year ago
@Tundraboy05 Re apostrophe. As I explained, I presumed you were saying "where do you come from." in which case the apostrophe after the "d" to cover the missing "o" is perfectly correct. Ever heard of a song "D' ye ken John Peel" ? Look back and tell me where I said that a comma has a space before it. The fact that mine do not should indicate to a moron that they do not but ,as i said, they do have a space after.

@SuperAncientmariner "Where'd" as in "Where Did", in the style of a conjunction. Now, you were quoting some sort of Old English title? "D' ye" means "Do you", but I'm unsure about the word 'ken'. It seems as if I made an error myself, not grammatically nor punctuational. I meant "Why is there a space before your comma, and not after it?", not why there's a space after a comma, silly me. Other than that, you should work on your keyboarding skills.
Tundraboy05 1 year ago
@SuperAncientmariner If you're trying to be disrespectful, don't take me there because I am surely not in the mood, now before you ended your semi-last statement, there is clearly a space in front of that comma, before the word "but", as quoted:
"The fact that mine do not should indicate to a moron that they do not but ,as i said, they do have a space after."
So please type correctly before referring to someone as being a moron, because you demonstrated a non-intentional error.

@SuperAncientmariner For the third time, unfortunately, something extremely random occurred, so I'll have to re-re-recite (no, that's not an error) what I just said:
If commas are supposed to have spaces before them, why do your recent comments not have spaces before their commas? Either you know you're wrong about the commas themselves, or they're so-called 'deliberate' errors that you've inserted to make me 'hunt' them out.

@TITANICLUSITANIA yes she is a cruise ship, she does not only cruise between usa and uk. and that dude said the oasis was the biggest one, and that was the ship i was calling cruise ship, and yeah the ulcc are the biggest ships in the world but they are not in service anymore. the biggest ship in service is maersk e-type ships. understood?

@markhellstone Queen Mary 2 is not build like a cruise ship, therefore she is NOT a cruise ship, she is an OCEAN LINER, and you can even look it up on many sources and you will see what I'm telling you, Ocean Liners are different from Cruise Ships, QM2 is more efficient than cruise ships. Even though the Knock Nevis is scrapped she is the largest ship ever constructed period.

@TITANICLUSITANIA IT DOESN´T MATTER IF SHE IS A CRUISE SHIP OR A OCEAN LINER that dude said oasis was the biggest SHIP in the world, and i said that it wasn´t true, and it isn´t so what are you yelling about

@markhellstone Yelling ha that's a good one, I don't yell only people without class like you would yell. potbd is an ignorant FYI he is a 10 year old that doesn't know anything about ships he thinks oasis is the biggest ever, but he's wrong the biggest ship EVER is Knock Nevis the biggest ship IN SERVICE is the TI Asia.

@markhellstone I'm not mad, I'am calm, trust me if I weren't I would be using big words. I already explained to him, but like I told you he is a little kid just ignore him, as for you I was telling you that QM2 is an ocean liner not a cruise ship, because I thought you called the Queen a cruise ship.
