Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

I've continually gotten IP-BLOCK 81.177.6.231 Type: outgoing, Port: 65392 - Port changes but the IP remains the same. Today only.

I am getting the same thing. Mostly when first logged in or when going back to the main forum page, but I also got it when I came into this forum.

A2 could you get your lady off her knees long enough to check the site again from MALWARE WARNINGS Oh great one. Have a good weekend and may all your problems in this venue be LITTLE ONES!

Yes. Each time I got on the board today, my malware blocked an explorer. Exe virus.

I've been on the site all day and I got nothing.

Awful is an adjective. Awfully is an adverb that can mean "very." Yes, you could say awfully anal. But she didn't. She said awful anal, which is incorrect.

Correct, sir.

I also think it is important to make sure the full phrase ANAL RETENTIVE is used correctly. To just say anal, on a site like this, can indeed be unclear as Loki pointed out quite humorously.

When the initial flub was "your awful anal" I couldn't decide if the writer was saying A2's ass stunk, or if his skill at fucking people in the ass was poor. The third option I suppose could be that he cries like a baby when one of his providers uses the strap-on, but somehow I don't see A2 being into that particular kink.

PD I'm a pretty good writer but wasn't an English major. Can one never use awfully here?

About two centuries ago, the British and many from New England would use the adjective form of awful to describe something as inspiring reverential wonder or fear. Modern usage tends to prefer awe-inspiring, awesome, impressive.

Awfully can be used in the adverbial form to mean very or extremely, but it is usually informal and used only in spoken language, and tends to be frowned on in written form since it is preferred to be an adverb that connotes a negative impression (terribly, poorly, dreadfully, atrociously, appallingly etc)., but given this is an informal chat room, I suppose it is much like a running conversation. At least it is not as bad as those that use text language in their posts.

I know some are thinking we are being picky about malapropism, but unless they are cute or endearing (Yogi Berra) they can be annoying or even worse cause a lack of clarity.

My pet peeve is when folks say "for all intensive purposes" rather than the correct "for all intents and purposes."

No one is suggesting you have to have your posts pass inspection from an English professor, but when it comes to clear communication; it is worth taking some time to clean up some of the common and habitual mistakes. The best argument for trying to improve your language skills (and a comprehensive list of common errors) is made by this guy:

Maybe, just maybe, the ANAL was AWFUL? As in, "Very bad or unpleasant" OR "the place smelled awful".

PWAHAHAHAH!

Sorry, fellas I've been getting blown almost as much as A2 this year, so far, and I am giggling like a schoolboy! Just can't help myself!

Peace.

PK.

I was blown so well today I heard angels singing. Seriously, angels, singing, out loud.

For the record AWFUL does not work

When I read a post, and I can tell it's from somebody with a room temp IQ (I'm not being cruel, just objective) I put them on perm moderation and just clean up their writing a little. I edit for clarity and ease of reading. I don't say anything about it, I just clean it up some. If they have a few things they do repetitively I send them a PM showing an example and ask them as a favor to me if they could stop doing those few things.

I'm not mean or condescending about it, I try and coach a little if I can. A2 believes that the strong were put on the earth to protect, not exploit, or denigrate the weak or unfortunate. Whenever possible I use my super powers only for the service of mankind.

A2.

That's fair enough I didn't know you took the time to do that. Thanks for the reply.

Your awful anal about you're grammar. Them girls I was seeing told me about this post & when I seen what you wrote I just had to reply.

Let's help you out here before my head (the big one, not the little one) explodes:

You're very anal retentive about your grammar. Some of the girls I see told me about this post, and when I read what you wrote, I felt compelled to reply.

For the record AWFUL does not work:

Aw·ful (ôfəl)

Very bad or unpleasant.

"the place smelled awful"

Synonyms: disgusting, horrible, terrible, dreadful, ghastly, nasty, vile, foul, revolting, repulsive, repugnant, odious, sickening, nauseating;.

Easy simple rules.

Never double up your punctuation except when you're posting a truncated quote or you're leaving something to the readers imagination, then and only then use an ellipse, (three periods) they are not used to replace a comma.

Your / you're; easy as fucking pie. Your is possessive, "Your titties are HUGE." You're is a contraction of you are. "You're a woman with big ass titties."

There / their / they're; There is a place "I see some big titties over there." Their is possessive "Their titties are fucking huge." They're is another contraction for "they are." "Where are those huge ass titties? They're in the bathroom taking a shower."

Punctuation ALWAYS goes inside of quotation marks. "Always like this." "Never like this".

Nouns and verbs must agree in number. If the noun is singular the verb must be as well.

Punctuation short cut; Every mobile device in the fucking world is hard wired to insert a period and capitalize the following word when you double space.

These are the major offenders on this forum. If you guys stopped fucking up this shit I would have time to get an extra blowjob every week.

Now that was awesome. It is a bit early in 2014, but this might get nominated for the best post of the year.

I know I am out of my zone over here, but I enjoy reading the banter more than watching Cinemax! Be that as it may, I have to agree with the grammar police. We should strive to improve and excel, NOT celebrate stupidity.

Now, on to the reason for my post...

USE YOUR SUPERPOWERS TO SEND THAT FINE BA PUSSY UP HERE MOTHERFUCKER! THAT, is the kind of service to mankind I'm thinking about! .

Peace
