Actually, the idea of a silk-wearing devil is quite hilarious. Makes me think of "The Devil wears Prada".

That's why I used quotation marks. Seesh.
Btw, wearing pandas is far less fashionable than wearing Prada.

I must disagree.

My sister, who is far more fashion-savvy than I, gave me a pair of Prada ... er ... all-weather short trousers. As a Christmas present.

If my sister thought they were fashionable, well then they probably were. FOUR YEARS AGO.

If I wanted to step out, wearing something fashionable now, I would choose either Panda (made of real fake Pauda fur from China), or a bin-liner with holes in it for neck and two arms. A plastic bag. Either way, it has to say: "cheap, disposable, exploitative, I gotta wear something, and fuck the whales". Or else I might as well not try to dress-up at all.

When is that fashion going to come around again? I want to dress up in garbage. I want to be Punk again!

I do.

Now, are you going to walk to my bedroom, or do I have to pick you up and carry you there?

This is valid for me as well.


This thread being so boring, perhaps you can tell me: does your name mean "The bleating sheep" or "The bleating of sheep" or "The sheep's bleat" ... or something else ?


None of them technically, it's gibberish. However I usually go for the first of your list if I need to explain it.

Any post that corrects your grammar contributes something, it educates you. Good luck in the Real World if you can't be bothered with correct grammar and spelling because your thoughts just flow along so fast. Not a lot of bosses are going to buy that one. Except maybe in IT, where despite the need for communicating complex concepts clearly, I have found more semi-illiterate people than anywhere else.

I generally tend to agree that grammar Nazi's are annoying. This is an Internet forum not a thesis. For as long as it's understandable who cares?

Though there is another side to this coin, I have been called a grammar Nazi for asking for clarification on spelling mistakes so bad that made it difficult to understand what was being said. If you can't communicate in a clear fashion then screw you!
