If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

O.K. I admit it, "OMG GUYS! I WORTE AN ASWEME SONG!" is to the English language what Josef Stalin was to children's entertainment and flower-fairy pagents. On the other hand, having made my point so forcefully I'm not in a position to make a u-turn that doesn't amount to rounding a u-bend! If the English language was abused any more we'd have to call it... American. (kidding for ****'s sake, not serious! I can't resist a good bitchy comment sometimes). I agree with Lordathestrings that the standard of one's language is important. I appear to have pissed off Ponyone with my insensitve class comments, Ponyone appears, whilst demonstrative of his working class background certainly strikes me as a highly articulate person and I didn't mean my comment to cause offense. As for education and the Arabic world, well, you gave us our numerals and invented zero! We'd still be pissing around with roman numerals (which are practically impossible to manipulate). So, respect. The point remains though, brilliant language skills can still be used to express nothing and poor language can convey a great deal. I'd certainly say some of it was very original, something of a chromatic run of verbal off-the-wallness!
