Intelligent people know that the rules of grammar, which have evolved

Calling someone a convict who was most likely born over there

Far from it.* If he wasn't transported there himself, he's
descended
from someone who was and has inherited criminal tendencies.* Same

Why would you inherit criminal tendencies?

For the same reason you inherit other characteristics from your
parents.
It's called bad blood in the trade.

No no no, god gives you your characteristics doesn't he?* That's
what you morons believe.

Who told you that horse****?* God has nothing to do with what
characteristics you inherit.* Apart from original sin, of course.

I thought you thought of yourself as brighter than the rest?

I obviously am.

No, you show yourself up as an idiot every time you post.* Aren't
you
the one who was going on about god earlier?

We already know you're a complete moron, and to make it worse, you
don't

That's because I have the brains to know he isn't there.

You simply don't have the intelligence to think 'outside the box'.

Trusting to a *belief system* is *thinking*? Much less thinking

Yes.* You got a ****ing problem with that?

I have a bridge to sell you.

So Plural and his mates have stolen apostrophe's apostrophe?

It's certainly beginning to look that way.

Talking of it's. Explain to me, logically, not just "it's the rules", why it's cannot be possessive. John's car. Fred's motorcycle. The tree's leaves. It's doorhandle.

It's about history.

"John's car" started out as "Johnes car" (the genitive form that English
has largely lost but German has largely retained). The "e"
was subsequently replaced by an apostrophe.

"It's" is a contraction for "it is".

"Its" as the possessive of "it" follows the pattern for other pronouns,
like "hers" or "theirs".

The rule that you dislike just because it's a rule helps us to quickly
discern the writer's intent, without puzzling over context.

To loop back to an earlier issue, I would have written "electricians'
union" to indicate that it's the union for "electricians" not
the union for "electrician", following the rule for making a possessive
of a plural noun.

Rules of English Grammar!

Rule # 1* Learn all the rules.
Rule # 2* Learn all the *exceptions* to the rules.

Such as?

Most other languages in the world have *consistent grammar rules*.
English, being a *******ised language, is a hodge podge of rules and
exceptions with zero consistency.

All languages are *******ised to some extent.

English is the most *******ised there is to the point the written
language gives no clue as to the pronunciation. My wife's language does
way better in that regard with 67 consonants and 43 vowels plus a host
of diacritics.

I won't deny that English is a hodgpodge. I blame William the Conqueror
for a lot of its problems. The fact that spelling wasn't codified until
quite late in the game bears a lot of the blame, too.

At least English doesn't have a committee telling people how to use
their language.

However, it is simple to learn enough to get by in English. Its
loose rules make it easy to understand fractured syntax.

There are no unnecessary rules in grammar.* It is what it is.

No, you use the rules that make sense.* Intelligent people know
which rules are sensible.* "Rules are for the obedience of fools

Intelligent people know that the rules of grammar, which have

You really haven't studied the English language and literature to any

I really have.* Have you?

Quite a lot.

There's no evidence for that. You confuse pronunciation with grammar rules.

Why don't you study the history of the English language and
you would soon see how foolish your statement vis a vis the rules of

Why don't you take your own advice and you would soon see it isn't.

Far from it. If he wasn't transported there himself, he's descended
from someone who was and has inherited criminal tendencies. Same

Could be he was descended from free settlers who migrated during the

Australia.

Unlikely, given his Usenet persona.

In fact it is what happened. Not one convict in my ancestors

Not my word, the word of climate scientists in general. All that has
happened since 1981 has been further confirmation of what was determined
in the 81 report.

Then they are not scientists, since any scientific idea has to be
susceptible to being proved incorrect. Note: Any scientific hypothesis
can be proved untrue. It can never be proved true, however; all any
scientist can manage is to provide evidence that supports the
hypothesis.

This has been true throughout history. Time was when it was "settled"
that the Sun goes round the Earth. Dispute that, and the Catholic
Church would threaten to cut your balls off. Then along came Copernicus
and Galileo and others, who demonstrated that accepting that planetary
orbits could be non-circular, and that the Sun was the centre of the
Solar System, could lead to a *much* simpler and *more* *accurate*
picture of the SS. One which, moreover, could make accurate predictions
about where the planets would be in the future, especially when
combined with Newton's Theory of Gravity. But then even the latter was
replaced by Einstein's General Relativity, which works better than
Newton in extreme situations.

Since anyone disputing that climate "science" is "settled" gets threats
like those I mention above, I deduce that climate "science" owes more
to religion than real science.

Im not sure that I follow your logic.

Climate is not a hypothesis. It is a description of long term weather
parameters which prevail across certain regions of the planet.

Typically these parameters have been determined by data from 30 (preferably
more) years of observation. You cannot prove a climate to be untrue.

Areas of the globe might change from one climate description to another, such
as from Tundra to Cold High Latitude (or whatever the current description
happens to be) but the individual climate parameters would remain.

Similarly, a Desert climate could envelop parts of the world which are
currently classed as Steppe or Savannah. However, if rainfall increased in a
Desert, that could become Steppe over the decades. That would be true Climate
Change - not the snowflake version which relies on short term weather
extremes to persuade the ignorant MSM that the climate has changed.

If you really believe climatologists are not scientists, then you are either
extremely misguided or you are trying to stir up mischief.

If you wish to prove that climate science is incorrect, then it is up to you
to do so.



Are you a climate scientist? I suspect not.

"Climate scientist" is an oxymoron. I'm a physicist by training.

Far from it. If he wasn't transported there himself, he's descended
from someone who was and has inherited criminal tendencies. Same
****ing difference.

Why would you inherit criminal tendencies?

For the same reason you inherit other characteristics from your
parents.
It's called bad blood in the trade.

No no no, god gives you your characteristics doesn't he? That's what
you morons believe.

Who told you that horse****? God has nothing to do with what
characteristics you inherit. Apart from original sin, of course.

Every moron like yourself that believes in god told me it. Or have you
guys changed your tune to suit the situation like you usually do.
You're just like those greenies. Global warming suddenly becomes
climate change when they realise it might not be warmer but something
else. Let's cover all the bases. If anything changes about the
climate, we'll blame it on the CO2 emissions. It never would have
changed by itself....

The science on climate change was *settled* in 1981 according to a
report put out at the time. The only prediction they weren't quite right
on was the speed at which it would happen. They overestimated the rate
of change at first.

They used to call it "global warming", then realised it might not be warming but something else, so they covered all bases, just like religious nuts changing their tune to suit what really happens.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you
referring to?

Did you read his post at all? He referred to a
union, not an
individual.

Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all? They
referred
to an
individual's union in each case.

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the
apostrophes in
the right place.

He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.

Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of people
who think
plural's take apostrophe's.

Go take your OCD medication, we're not interested.

Go take your illiteracy elsewhere, we're not interested.

Not my fault if you can't understand what everyone else can.

Not my fault if I **** on illiterates.

FACT: 99% of people do not put apostrophes at the end.

Where did you pull this 'fact' from? Out of your rear end,
just like
all your other 'facts'?

Only a computer program requires precision placing of
apostrophes.
The rest of us knew perfectly well what was meant. Grow up.

Getting ahead in the modern world requires literacy.

Bull**** it does with that OCD ****.

Correct grammar is not OCD, you stupid ****ing convict.

Corse it is

Of course it's not, you stupid ****ing illiterate convict.

Calling someone a convict who was most likely born over there is
pretty stupid don't you think?

Far from it. If he wasn't transported there himself, he's descended
from someone who was and has inherited criminal tendencies. Same
****ing difference.

Could be he was descended from free settlers who migrated during the
convict era or later. My parents, for instance, migrated in 1950 to
Australia.

Unlikely, given his Usenet persona.

In fact it is what happened. Not one convict in my ancestors
and not even anyone who has ever ended up in jail or been
fined for a criminal offence either. While mine showed up
here well before his did, mine are the same as his in that sense.
And some of them chose to go that particular island too.

Obviously a lie. But what else should we expect from a ****ing convict?

Typical jump to conclusion attitude I'd expect from a religious nutter.

It's certainly beginning to look that way.

Talking of it's. Explain to me, logically, not just "it's the rules",
why it's cannot be possessive. John's car. Fred's motorcycle. The
tree's leaves. It's doorhandle.

1. 'It' is a pronoun. The others are not. Using it's as the
possessive would be like using he's or him's instead of his.

It, John, car, cat, they are all nouns. Stop categorising stuff for no reason.

2. For the intelligent and literate among us, it helps to identify the
stupid and illiterate.

It helps to identify those with a life. You really are a sad boring little **** aren't you?

No, you use the rules that make sense. Intelligent people know which

Intelligent people know that the rules of grammar, which have evolved

You really haven't studied the English language and literature to any

It's about history.

"John's car" started out as "Johnes car" (the genitive form that English
has largely lost but German has largely retained). The "e"
was subsequently replaced by an apostrophe.

"It's" is a contraction for "it is".

"Its" as the possessive of "it" follows the pattern for other pronouns,
like "hers" or "theirs".

The rule that you dislike just because it's a rule helps us to quickly
discern the writer's intent, without puzzling over context.

Only one ever makes sense in a given sentence. Show me an example where you can't tell if the writer meant "its" or "it's".

To loop back to an earlier issue, I would have written "electricians'
union" to indicate that it's the union for "electricians" not
the union for "electrician", following the rule for making a possessive
of a plural noun.

I don't see it as necessary. Context always tells us how many electricians we're discussing.

On the subject of plurals, we have one word for one and another for more than one (although some words don't even have that, like sheep). But we can't distinguish between two, or three or more. So why bother?
