I think it's quite clear, based on the ignorance displayed on this thread, that I certainly do have a superior grasp of linguistics. Would you like to challenge that?

I didn't say or imply anything about superior to people in any other way.

Hypocrite? Please. Any other words you'd like to put in my mouth?

Sure, ASL Duel. ;)

Us in person, doing a A to Z poem, inspired by any random person picking a topic.

Winner gets a beer.

So basically this is nothing but a huge pissing contest for you. LOL There is no argumentative desination, it is beating a dead horse! You know why?? Because various people will have various opinions on it. Some people will find it offensive and some will love it. I frankly do not see anything offensive about it.


BTW Opinions are like assholes.... Everyone has one!!

This is so humorous. Multiple people trying to say this is only a matter of opinion. It is linguistics, and there are very much right and wrong positions. Whether you understand that or not is beside the point, but it certainly makes my job harder in trying to explain it to you. It's not a pissing match for me. It's a matter of intellectual accuracy.
 
read my lips - SHUT DA FOK UP! :wave:

What exactly are we dueling to prove here??? Superiority in ASL? You win hands down.


How about we each write a Shakespearean sonnet. Up for THAT challenge?

That would be an English issue. We're not discussing that here aren't we?

I did not put words in your mouth.. I called you a hypocrite! A big difference.


Just as the Deaf people on this thread have a superior grasp of ASL. :)

The shirt!!

Shakespeare... very poetic in English...

You said that I was claiming to be superior to you. I did nothing of the sort. THAT was putting words in my mouth.
 
Not technically a sonnet but.....

Hired,
Fired.

:D

Actually, I'm not sure what we're discussing here. Why would we have a duel of an A-Z poem to prove one each others grasp of linguistics?
 
At least this makes a change from fighting with the annoying hearing people...

All this from one shirt... Damn boy!! That is the problem.. you are reading way into it. Making it more complicated than what it really is.


Go ahead and put it under the microscope, and analize away with your superior linguistic self!! :roll:


Most of us got it with a simple opinion... and got a chuckle from it as well. Simple as that. Nothing complicated. :)

I believe it's a well-known fact that poem is not well linguistically-conveyed in oral sense but it is better conveyed with bodily expression to reach out more people.

Proof: tribes. third world countries. foreigners. plays. Charles Chaplin.

First off: Umad?

Second: Most of us have move long past the t-shirt. We're talking about different things at this point. Try to keep up.

Third: Ignoring the fact that YES, you did put words in my mouth and I called you on it. Oh, let's just agree to disagree on that one. :roll:

I did not put words in your mouth.. You said it yourself.

I never stated you were superior to me.

Please!! Get over yourself!! :roll:
