Trench's Questions and Philosophies

[Sting23]

My thoughts, too!

I beg to differ - he makes heaps of spelling errors  ,  but I would agree with the rest of your statement.

you raggin' on my English bruh?! haha..well, these English skills have gotten me flights to Russia, Europe and America courtesy of my good Russian clients.  I basically haven't paid for a flight in the last 5 years.  And this is on top of a pretty sweet salary and housing.

What's really hilariously sad is that Boethius has over 13000 posts here.  More than anyone else! And she's a Canadian born woman married since 18.  Not a foreign guy looking to date or marry a FSU lady. 

How did that happen?

I sure hope her "better half" isn't jealous of all the time she spends here.

You are putting your own interpretation on what the forum is about. Putting it as simply as I can -- it is a discussion ( of/about events and life) of Russian speaking women -- albeit expanded to the FSU generally .
Nothing in charter says anything about  bride seeking or even dating !
 Above all else -- she has considerable real current and ongoing knowledge and understanding of Ukraine and the Russian speaking world and is an invaluable resource here on the forum.

If you choose to play silly tag with Moby -- now that is a waste of energy -Moby not only believes he is the only one ever right - and then has to have the last word -- if you cant see that is a waste of your time I can only see more petulant posts coming from you.
Put Moby on ignore -- like many others have ! Move on.

I speak two languages, English and Bad English. I'm actually fluent in Bad English. I haven't been double checking my posts since I've been busy. I just went back to read some of the stuff I been typing lately and WOW, if you want to talk about Bad English, I'm the expert.

I type about 100 wpm, and don't need spellcheck.  I can type 4 or 5 posts in the time it takes most posters to post one.

I will check from work, and otherwise, only post when the better half is at work (such as right now).  I also post when I can't sleep, which is fairly common for me, usually while I listen to the only radio programme available then, Coast to Coast.  It's interesting, in a conspiracy sort of way.

I have never posted I married at 18.  I have posted I was a teen.  How did that happen?  I graduated HS early and went to study in the USSR.

I don't have the most posts on the forum, but more posts than other currently active members.

You are also making suppositions on the forum.  From Dan, owner of the forum -

We also have MammaD (Dottie), who is an AW married to an AM for oh... let's just say it has been a while    - AND - she brings a highly-valued perspective of principles and honesty and commitment and a few other characteristics we could all use more of. She reminds us of the importance of morality and sincerity in all that we do - AND - her son is married to a wonderful Russian lady who brought with her a son - and they have formed a terrific family unit.- Dan

>>I consider this more of a forum for men.<<
You could not be more wrong. - Dan

Feel free to PM him and tell him he's wrong.

From the same source, however:NOT an impressively thorough definition .

I'd agree - but you know a little more about the Thames Estuary 'virus'

When our sting23 is 'busted' - the default 'riposte' is, " you spend too much time on here .." ? !

British people don't "butcher" their language.  moby makes the odd spelling error, likely from typing on a mobile, but his grammar is excellent, and I don't find his posts difficult to read.

The Brits don't own English, they very generously gave it away to several other countries (colonies) who have since made it their own. And, yes, some of them (and some Americans) butcher the language badly. I've had conversations with these people on both sides of the pond.

The OED, the most definitive record of the English language, contains English from all parts of the world.

[msmob]

That's a pretty fair summary

I readily admit tongue in cheek ripostes when cousins across the pond question my English

I never claimed they did. I just thought the statement that Brits “butcher” their language was silly.

Getting back to Trenchcoat ...

Must we....  the 'English' debate was FAR more interesting than his theorising

[Anotherkiwi]

Your English (or your eyesight) is in dire need of improvement if you couldn't see this:

ok my bad, must have read it too quickly.

Speaking of Trench what happened to him?  It's not like him to be silent in his own thread for so long.

It's not lunchtime in England yet!

[msmob]

My observations is that he posts during what I presume is a morning commute, lunch time and evening commute ..

LOL Yeah, I noticed the irony that my own thread had been hijacked but I was enjoying see you & Mobers tearing into each other too much to want to intervene

You've been told moby's from Northern Ireland.  Since when has Dublin been located in Northern Ireland?

Same island. Close enough.

[Boethius]

They are completely separate countries.

[Sting23]

They are completely separate countries.

I could care less.  Most non Canadians here couldn't name all the provinces and territories.  See if anyone here knows where Nunavut is.
