Opinions?

If not me, than who?

Breaking the rule of thumb, one cannot claim themselves as #1 in grammatical imminence relative to this forum's user-base.

Sincerely though, does no one notice the way in which my vocabulary has developed to the extreme? Am I not able to recognize and therefore supremely utilize the minutiae of the English language?

Keep in mind this is an individual who was leagues behind almost everyone in the subject of English until his discovery of message boards.

I see what you did there.

You grammatically ****ed up in your third paragraph, and you also misused the term imminent, and you don't seem to know what minutiae means either.

Well at least you're trying.

No, there were absolutely no errors made.



Imminence translates to; "first and foremost." There're multiple definitions to many words in the English language. Minutiae literally means small, or easily over-looked details pertaining to any subject. English included.

A lot of what I write reads better than most books.

I suppose there is an argument to be had, that, since you use contentless sentences in a grammatically correct form at times, you employ grammar much more than anyone else on this site.

I don't remember a time when you did not write in the manner you do now. But if you had trouble before with grammar, I do think you are now writing, at the very least, sufficiently well. It is always hard to judge one's own ability, when it comes to language, as we don't know what we don't know, in essence we all suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect. At least I know I do, I know Astner definitely does, and I think you do as well.

Off the top of my head, Digi is a superior writer to you. But in your defense, iirc, he is some sort of professional writer. Marius is another who has superior writing skills, at least to you. I'm sure there are others, just can't think of them at the moment.

As far as your claim in possessing an "extreme" vocabulary. I get the impression that you have some sort of 'word of the day' calendar of not commonly used words and then create threads for the sole purpose of using your 'new' word.

Best of luck though in achieving your "business success"

Yes, I forgot about Digi. He's probably it.

You're okay.

I felt a disturbance in the Force.

*looks around*

Ah, thanks for the props. I try. Anyway...

Oneness, there are multiple errors that can be pointed out in your OP alone. Some grammatical, but many more in regard to the coherence of your language usage. But we've talked about your coherence - or rather, lack thereof - before. It's not worth reiterating, except to say that you ignored me on multiple occasions, proving that you're probably not worth our time.

The other point is that it doesn't matter. Someone is always better. That goes for everyone, in everything. You should spend less time talking about yourself like you're hot sh*t and more time focused on learning. Because what did you expect? An anonymous internet forum to grovel at your linguistic feet? This is all kinds of silly, though, sadly, par for the course per your posting habits.

I'm glad you think you've improved. I hope you continue to do so. But spare us your haughty diatribes.

I found your spelling of that word interesting because I recently read this article:

Some words, you use American English spellings. Other words, you use British English spellings: quite interesting. Why the linguistic amalgamation?

Second, he wants to sound smart so he uses the British spelling.

A classic example of psuedo-intellectualism.

Originally posted by dadudemon

Allow me to explain, as I have the same problem:

In most Western European nations, schools teach their students to speak British English while the students themselves are more influenced by American music, television, films etc. This leads to constant mixing of American and British English, both in writing and pronunciation.

I do it for beauty.

Color > Colour

Armour > Armor

IMO anyway.

Everyone thinks they are more important than everyone else. Everyone believes that their problems are more important than other people's problems, that their jokes are better than other people's jokes, and that in general, they are much more concerned about themselves than they are with others. In fact, a lot of people believe that they make an impact or are relevant to other people, the truth is that no one is significant to anyone else any more than their own self.

In other words, we're too busy stroking our own egos to notice you Oneness. Stop trying.

That should be "then", not "than".



I don't know if using "cannot" instead of "can not" is technically improper but it sure is ugly. Stop doing it!



There should probably be a comma after "recognize", as well as "therefore" IMO but using one there is technically speaking not necessary I don't think.



Can't see anything wrong here. Maybe a comma after "keep in mind" since I was taught to put a comma after transition words, but I'm admittedly not sure if that qualifies.

In general, I would recommend you cut down the super lulintellectual words like "imminence" or "minutiae". Having a large vocabulary is a good thing. However, when you hamfistedly shove esoteric and unusual words into your posts it makes it more awkward to read, and tryhardy.

Maybe Digi can spot more errors.

This is more coherence than grammar (notice the correct usage of 'than'...take notes), though there's one mistake I'll get to in a moment. But you haven't established the "rule of thumb" so we don't know what you're referring to when you say you're breaking it. Rules of thumb are commonly understood, to the point of cultural ubiquity. Clearly, no such rule exists on KMC.

Also, I believe you meant to use 'eminence' instead of 'imminence' there. So there's your 2nd grammatical mistake.

Originally posted by Oneness

Again, this is technically correct, but is an awkward usage of the word 'extreme.'

Originally posted by Oneness

I've used the phrase "word soup" to describe your writing before, and you're guilty of it again here. Nothing about this sentence is technically incorrect, but it's an extremely awkward way of phrasing it. I can't think of a setting, personal or professional, where this would seem contextually normal.

Originally posted by Oneness

This straddles the line between word soup and just plain wrong. The first sentence sounds like a foreign language speaker trying to say something in English. We understand what you mean, but you took a very obtuse path to that meaning.

In the second sentence, you fail to identify to what you're referring to. "...in that respect." In WHAT respect? Intelligence is a good tool in becoming an anomaly in the business success system of the world? Maybe the first sentence dooms the second, but it's all just awkwardly phrased. As Neme said, try to avoid big words unless you're absolutely sure of their usage. Otherwise, your language sounds forced.

...

Here's the point: that was a few lines that you were using to say you're the best at this. And they're not good. I won't say they're terrible, but they're not good. And this is among hundreds of posts you've written, many much worse.

So, eat some humble pie. You're probably a smart kid, but this egotistical indignation isn't helping.

I didn't even spot that he misused imminence, lol, wow.

I'd agree that Dolos' main problem seems to be a disturbing propensity toward purple prose. It's like reading fanfiction sometimes, in terms of how virtually incoherent his wording is.

Purple prose? I hadn't encountered that term and had to google it. Thanks.

Also, Neme's not wrong with his comments on comma usage, it's just that the ones he mentioned are likely optional. Your chief problems lie elsewhere.

Oneness: study Hemingway, if you want an entry point that won't bore you to death. He never used an ornate word when a simple one would suffice. His works are a master class in linguistic and grammatical austerity. You'd benefit from taking a few pointers from his style.

George R.R. Martin and Ernst Hemingway have two completely different writing styles. Hemingway never described thoughts or emotions while Martin uses them extensively. On top of that Hemngway wrote short stories while Martin writes a novel series.

Here's where that sub-vocalization comes in handy.

"The creativity of people on the schizophrenic end of the human continuum is a creativity that springs from the inability to accept the standardized cultural denials of the real nature of experience. And the price of this kind of almost "extra human" creativity is to live on the brink of madness, as men have long known."

You're criticizing my English?

I had straight A's throughout my high-school years, in which I took three English courses each one over a period of two semesters. Most of my course literature in University was written in English. I communicate with most of my clients in English. I read English-written novel series on a regular basis.

Now it's interesting that you bring up a typo rather than an actual grammatical error, because typos frequently occur throughout all professional reports. Hence why even professional authors proof-read their own work and then have other people do another proof-reading.

I wasn't criticising you, or your English. The only thing that I said, in a roundabout way, is that you overestimate your skills in English (like I do, and like Oneness does).

This works a lot better when the person you are trying to correct is very arrogant about their skills. I, on the other hand, in the very post you quoted, said that my skills are not anywhere near perfect.

As in writing a review of a book I didn't want to read, like Of Mice and Men? Sure, but if I would've had it my way I would've written my own novel instead of writing exams and performing oral presentations.

But that would've made it difficult for my teacher to grade me according to the curriculum which expects a more general examination of my abilities in that field. Besides, at the end of the day most employers couldn't give two shits in regard to how good you are at writing stories.

By the time Oneness hits 9000, I hope to be all but gone from the forums, which in recent years have become nothing but a time thief (with a few notable exceptions, though none in this forum, certainly).

I have a feeling he'd be disappointed anyway, what with no choir of trumpets heralding his victory. I can't be the harbinger of such a letdown. He'd forever associate me with his failed apotheosis. I can't handle that pressure, dude.

You never hit the mark; not an inhuman, not a polymath (although close), not a genius, not the shortening of the way, but the very first mind with no pre-frontal cortex 'turned-on' to negate 'free-thinking'; and with the metabolism of Marvel's post-SSS Steve Rogers to boot (imagine the brain-power that such a metabolic-rate would afford). With the anti-senescence gene (dual-growth of nucleic strands) switched on because I've tricked my body into thinking it's 'fit for survival' in a purely primal setting, youth can be sustained far longer even given the extra wear-and-tear of an absolute metabolism. There's nothing inhuman about any of it, some people have the myostatin gene, few don't and their muscles develop without ample exercise. It's all in the nucleic acid.

As I said, I need no particular competitor. There's a uniquely superior aspect to the writing-styles of all of the greatest authors; whom are each "imminent" masters of each and every single language on earth, respectively, in those aspects.

Am I not to be omni-linguistically superior in every single one of these aspects?

I'm going to let that sink in.

Thanks for clearing that up, because as you can see the first definition literally says "recognized superiority".

Or immenent may have actually been better, as in; "the hierarchy stops here".

It can be made to work either way; literary superiority is a gray area, because no two people have the same writing-style. The eminent writers of KMC have all developed equally, but also uniquely, advanced methods in their writing-style. Therefore, for high-caliber writers, whoever would be picked would be picked out of preference.

Not quite. You used it incorrectly, I corrected you, then you tried to correct me, incorrectly, and used it incorrectly...again. In big 'ol quotes so everyone would know what an "imminent" chap you are. So you're incorrect yet again in this post, saying you originally used the correct word. You didn't. You incorrectly used the incorrect word, and in this case two wrongs didn't make a right. So now, at least, you're correctly using the correct term, though you're incorrectly saying that you correctly used it originally. Correct?

Not quite. You used it incorrectly, I corrected you, then you tried to correct me, incorrectly, and used it incorrectly...again. In big 'ol quotes so everyone would know what an "imminent" chap you are.

It worked for how I was using it in the second and third examples, precisely the way in which I described; the terminal point of the proverbial hierarchy.



In the next post, I described precisely how it was functional for my purposes.



Perhaps I unwittingly used it correctly. Or, we could think of it as me just doing what I do best, exploiting the inherent flaws in the opposing argument to restate my original hypothesis in a new way, yet without revising it.



Doc Oc, in your flesh.

It does, albeit relatively.

Don't fret. If it's any consolation, certain words are very broad in their meanings. It'd be exhaustively difficult to construct a flawless counter-argument designed specifically to enclose such meanings.

If there's a flaw, then rest assured, I will find it.

Addendum: Perhaps for me, it's becoming increasingly paramount to put more emphasis on time, as well. My internet activity will hit a paroxysmal halt after tonight.

The whole correct/incorrect thing was me screwing around. With the joke well over your head, I can't be bothered to care about what you do and don't understand.

It's your tone, though. It's what's so repugnant. Forget the nonsensical plans and whatever else. If you were the least bit empathetic, the rest would actually be palatable.

Anyway, thanks for the amusement. Get back to me when you're Neo.

I'm sure if I had not taken this route, I would be able to empathize with others. For now, unfortunately, I can only empathize with myself.

You can call it me being about my shit.

Gah! I did it again. Forgive the abrasive language, apathy is a hell of a drug.

At least I'm moral, the immoral wolves of wall-street who have interests in Iranian Oil are the root of all evil. The root cause, and I mean that quite literally.

For all I know, the IRA vans have been driving around my house; collecting very private and personal digital information for their psyche-profile.

Ditto.

You never hit the mark; not an inhuman, not a polymath (although close), not a genius, not the shortening of the way, but the very first mind with no pre-frontal cortex 'turned-on' to negate 'free-thinking'; and with the metabolism of Marvel's post-SSS Steve Rogers to boot (imagine the brain-power that such a metabolic-rate would afford). With the anti-senescence gene (dual-growth of nucleic strands) switched on because I've tricked my body into thinking it's 'fit for survival' in a purely primal setting, youth can be sustained far longer even given the extra wear-and-tear of an absolute metabolism. There's nothing inhuman about any of it, some people have the myostatin gene, few don't and their muscles develop without ample exercise. It's all in the nucleic acid.

As I said, I need no particular competitor. There's a uniquely superior aspect to the writing-styles of all of the greatest authors; whom are each "imminent" masters of each and every single language on earth, respectively, in those aspects.

Am I not to be omni-linguistically superior in every single one of these aspects?

I'm going to let that sink in.

Back in 2008: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=486655&highlight=myostatin+userid%3A73571 A nigh-infinitesimally altered nucleotide sequence, super does not one make. Naturally, it can only be changed ever-so-slightly. However, finding a way to create a molecular climate in which most of the nucleic strands opt for dual-growth, holds far more potential for nucleic alteration than does a mere excess of follistatin. More than longevity, when the strands grow in both directions many changes may occur to the way in which everything is sequenced.

Most of the mutations should be trimmed, most viably through nano-surgery.

Although if there's a natural biological trigger for said alteration, as Epicurus' thread would indicate, such dual-growth would be very controlled and any mutations would be insignificant to the overall sequence - the integrity of the DnA would remain untarnished. In fact, it'd probably be improved. Ipso facto; longevity.

No, they should use the real science stuff called gene therapy.

Go google search that and tell me how much you like it.

Opinions?

If not me, than who?

Breaking the rule of thumb, one cannot claim themselves as #1 in grammatical imminence relative to this forum's user-base.

Sincerely though, does no one notice the way in which my vocabulary has developed to the extreme? Am I not able to recognize and therefore supremely utilize the minutiae of the English language?

Keep in mind this is an individual who was leagues behind almost everyone in the subject of English until his discovery of message boards.

My intent is to become an anomaly in the business success system of the world. Intelligence is a good tool in that respect.

No.
