Yeah because I'd never be the same after being insulted by a man named bowmann, which is the second stupidest name ever next to
jeb bush. You seem to be extra rude these days, i think you must be on your monthly cycle, we shall call you flowmann.
Is anyone actually reading the essay. People asked me to post it and now are only looking at flowmann and my little confrontation.
You are staggeringly dumb!
As I said before, given your past history, its easy to misconstrue what your saying. even though it was complimentary, i mistook it for insulting as you usually are. and for that, I apologize. however, to avoid problems like this in the future, why dont you try being a little more positive, people wouldn't assume the worst about you.

Originally posted by zakkwylderIf people don't reply to a post, it doesn't necessarily mean they haven't read it or didn't find it interesting. I have read that essay before and liked it, but I couldn't come up with anything more interesting to say than "I have read it and liked it", so I didn't reply.

By the way, Bowmann wrote that his reply was "complementary", not "complimentary". One letter can make quite a difference.

There's no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. we take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that ...[text shortened]... far as punctuation, grammar, and capitalization. I hope you all enjoy it as I did.
