@LooksAeterna Welcome to my parlour.

@stonemanrichard So you suggest that if you engage in argument free, disingenious superiority rhetoric, this would somehow distract from the inappropriateness of your original comment ? You need stupid readers to swallow that. Try a Britney Spears video.

@LooksAeterna Less talk. More digging.
-
@stonemanrichard What a speaker means to say is not open to another's preferences.
-
@LooksAeterna I'll stick with the gerund. Here's the shovel; keep digging.
-
@stonemanrichard Yes, if it is an expression of ignorance or some other neglect. That's why I felt I had to retort a little.
What I meant with "Insulting arrogance" above, though, is not "insulting another's arrogance" but "[one's own] arrogance [that is also] insulting".
-
@LooksAeterna It is often necessary to instult arrogance. 2/10

@stonemanrichard (cond.)
... which is of course total folly because the dominating learned languages at the time were either French or Latin which would have resulted in far greater obstacles.
Please think before you write. Instulting arrogance is always somewhat ugly, even if necessary to correct someone, but it is particularly ridiculous if it expresses a lack of education such as in your case.
-
@stonemanrichard It seems normal these days for half-educated people to use insulting attacks on a person in order to substitute for arguments. You seem to follow the Zeitgeist in this respect.
But Magee's words were "It's a huge UNNECESSARY obstacle" - when just a moment before Warnock pointed out how the circumstances WERE in fact such that the obstacle was necessarily there ! The only logical way to justify Magee's judgement is to assume that he should naturally have resorted to English ...

No, he is not. Either there is something seriously wrong with your understanding, or you need to have your ears syringed.
"Hmmm, yes, indeed, hmmmm, yes"
It's so very British, I love it.
