🗞 Trust in mainstream media

[Barry-Sanchez]

What are your blathering on about, your the one on the aspirant social ladder not me, you’d rise quicker if you didn’t try so hard mush, trust me.

[Fowllyd]

Given that I’d is simply a contraction of I would I’m struggling (or should that be I am struggling) to see your beef with pap’s post.

I’d be most grateful if you could elucidate.

@Barry-Sanchez

What are your blathering on about, your the one on the aspirant social ladder not me, you’d rise quicker if you didn’t try so hard mush, trust me.

Hmmm…

[Barry-Sanchez]

Grammatically from whom would he like praise? Overkill with the comma’s, and yes I fucked up with your as opposed to you’re, slack.

[Fowllyd]

Nope, don’t get it at all. You say that it’s OK to use I would but not I’d, even though they mean the same thing. If one’s wrong then so is the other. Or is it simply the contraction of the former to the latter that you don’t like?

The commas are a matter of choice, but the word commas has no need of an apostrophe as it’s a plural.

[pap]

I’m just trying to work out what kind of wrong Barry is. Fuck it, democracy rules.

What kind of wrong is @Barry-Sanchez in “I’d-gate”?

• Doesn’t know he’s wromg.
• Won’t admit he’s wrong.
• Doesn’t care that he’s wrong. He’s just killing time waiting for Big Bronze Hans from Buemos Aires to send dick pics, and there is a four hour time difference.

Why isn’t there an ‘all of the above’ option?

[Barry-Sanchez]

From whom? You don’t state who, you then place me into the conversation with comma’s (your pause), it’s all over the shop.

[pap]

I’d give you a quote (single, mind) but I’m afraid that you’d get overly possessive.

[Barry-Sanchez]

Give me as many quotes as you want son, I love a good Oscar Wilde.

[pap]

His best novel is undoubtedly The Picture of Dorian Gray, although I suspect you’ll find some way to disagree with that statement too.

[Barry-Sanchez]

Probably but can’t be arsed watching the match.

[pap]

You’ll have a job, mate. He famously only wrote one novel.

[Barry-Sanchez]

I’ll still find a way.

[Fowllyd]

Are you doing this deliberately?

[Barry-Sanchez]

No, what do you mean?

[pap]

I voted “doesn’t know he’s wrong” in the poll.

[Fowllyd]

Telling people off about punctuation whilst putting a quote in a plural (you’ve just done it again by the way), and also showing no knowledge of how to punctuate your own sentences. I’d put you up for the annual Alanis Morisette Irony award if only there were one.

[Fowllyd]

Actually, so did I. Which probably makes a nonsense of my last two posts. Ah well, c’est la vie and all that.

[Barry-Sanchez]

What quote?
