carlfense Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Carl Once again, I didn't claim them to be the best predictor, only a valid predictor. U not read good... I do believe that you referred to them as the "gold standard" here. U no understand that "gold standard" > simply valid . . . or alternatively . . . you no remember own statements. I hope that I was able to match your grammatical style closely enough that you could keep up with the conversation. Link to comment
Hercules Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Of course it's a real language. No. It's a lazy spin-off of a real language. There is a difference. This is just ignorant. Is American English just a lazy spin-off of Old English? I mean, obviously the language of Shakespeare must be real, so how can the language we're writing be considered legitimate if it's just a cheap knock-off? Link to comment
