ok Paul, i' [cut] I'm officially releasing my officially official reply on my official site.
Ok. I've decided to blog my response, since no one else was really reading that comments box anymore.
Except you. And me, of course. But this IS my site, and I have the excuse that I just want to read my comments. What's your excuse?
I'm officially releasing my officially official reply on my official site.
For the other people reading this...this is in response to Paul's response to my comments, in the comment box in the 3+6=8 blog.
1. First off, read this:
‘The Columbia Guide to Standard American English.
Genius (n.) has two meanings, and each has two plurals: in both its “guardian spirit” (the genius of the fountain) and its “great natural ability” (a man of great genius) senses, the plurals are geniuses and genii, the latter occurring almost solely with the “guardian spirit” use and only rarely there.
Geniuses is almost universal as the plural in the “natural ability” sense.
So yes, the plural of Genius is Genii.
Hoever, it is RARELY used, and only to describe the 'guardian spirit'use.
But, Genuises, my friend, is use almost universally as the plural in the natural ability sense or for example 'a man of great genius.'
So maybe YOU use Genii to describe yourself...hell yeah, you go Paul. You're truly the 'enius of the fountain'
Second: if I had horrible english...
'I think oyu meant Genii. But with your horrible english who knows?'
...then WHY did you change your spelling of YOUR to YOU'RE after I told you to change it?
Thirdly:
'The point is I got my point across. And either way, if it's proper grammar, it means you have schizo friends. Wouldn't that make you non-existent? A figment of your friends insane brain?'
The point is you got your point across?! Ok buddy, thats just like saying
'Ok, My goal is to achieve my goal.'
If you had realized that you actually achieved NO point, then you would've been able to stop your next sentence, which was...
'And either way, if it's proper grammar, it means you have schizo friends. Wouldn't that make you non-existent? A figment of your friends insane brain?'
Fourthly: what either way? What way are you talking about? And what is proper grammar? How do you draw the conclusion that if 'it' is proper grammar then that means I have schizo friends?
Fifthly: How would that make me nonexistant?
Sixthly: How would that make me 'A figment of your friends insane brain?' (And by 'friends'I'am assuming that you mean 'friend's'.)
Lastly, the reason that earlier I only wrote responses in my comments and not my blog is simple: I only post things that I alone wrote on my blog, OR if I didn't for that case, I would've said it.
Unlike you.
