Isn't it open for interpretation?

Bungleau · 06-19-2008, 03:26 PM

I thought it meant "why do you think you are (wrong)", didn't you? I mean, isn't that what logically flows from it?

Dragonshadow · 06-19-2008, 03:32 PM

Are you all taking my words and twisting them?

Bungleau · 06-19-2008, 03:40 PM

Twisting them? Weren't we untwisting them, since you were so giddy from passing your driving test that you jumbled them up?

Dragonshadow · 06-19-2008, 03:43 PM

Shall we just conclude I don't make much sense?

Unglaublich Verwustung · 06-19-2008, 04:02 PM

Is there some reason we don't know of which means that we should conclude that you don't make much sense?

Weren't we checking punctuation, not logic?

Bungleau · 06-19-2008, 04:17 PM

Wouldn't that be grammar, and not logic? And punctuation-wise, wouldn't it work for either of the two grammatically-challenged options?

Wait... was that the sound of someone's head exploding from an excessive influx of pedantis narcissus? Where's Illumina when you need her?

But since I was questioning whether there was missing punctuation and not debating the linguistic gymnastics which deal with syntax, morphology nor even semantics it can't really be a matter of grammar, can it?
