Why is the word "Offensive, and Offensiveness"? Could it not be simply offension? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted April 2, 2019 #8332 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Is "confusedness" a real word, or is it fictionalistic? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted April 2, 2019 #8333 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I definitely detect a touch of fictionality there ..... should the red wiggly underlineification be the decider? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen of Annoy Posted April 2, 2019 #8334 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hell, no, didn't you notice that red wiggly underlin...ng...thing... doesn't recognise legitimate words, such as 'puggle'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrrpetrator Posted April 2, 2019 #8335 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Since I'm apparently in waaaay over my head here, having never seen or heard the word 'puggle', can i simply, gracefully, refrain from answering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted April 3, 2019 #8340 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) How about we limit the enthusiasm to 'attempt to solve' it? Because while some mysteries were indeed solved, is there anything worse than obviously crappy explanation to a great mystery? Like when they say everyone who has ever saw a ghost was simply insane and/or drunk and/or drugged? That's not an explanation, that's an excuse and ... why are you posting now? edit: Ah, the gene pool purification through reckless driving... but haven't you noticed it's often an imbecile driving like an imbecile, killing perfectly good people, while he (or she) survives to keep on doing damage, only now demanding compassion too, because who can ever be a true victim if not the imbecile in question?

purrrpetrator Posted April 4, 2019 #8343 Share Posted April 4, 2019 i don't, but almost immediately upon researching the scene you quoted from, i found the fabricated alternate to "instructing"... would you believe "instructioning"? purrrpetrator said: Wouldn't playing fast and loose with the English language only tend to create a state of confusedness? 5 hours ago, toyomotor said: The Americans have been doing it forever. hence the state of the States? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but isn't it just "collateral damage", in the classic sense? wherein, "sure, a million Iraqi children died due to sanctions, but isnt it obvious that the world's a far, far better place because of that?"

purrrpetrator Posted April 4, 2019 #8346 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) You're not suggesting that the perps of the historic, above-mentioned atrocity somehow gave more of a crap than the current crew, are you?
