A conformed to dictionary and literary structure are purely for those seeking to communicate with others incapable of understanding anything other than a conformed to literary structure and dictionary. If you desire proof - look at the US. A dictionary of spelling errors and fruitcakes who couldnt pronounce Potato created a new yet very flawed culture.
:P

This is hilariously (and ironically) incoherent.

Yellow Dingo ah...the hilarity of it.


At a minimum, you should have a hyphen for "conformed-to", Dingo.

And even then, it's a clumsy wording.

Thanks for demeaning the intelligence of my country, though!

I often wonder how much worse message boards would be if people texted all their posts.

He wasn't demeaning your intelligence, good sir, merely your country's sad inability to actually spell correctly. Ok, color [sic] and thru [sic] at least make some sense when spelled phoentically (Ironically a word that most certainly isn't), but really, what is your excuse for being unable to correctly spell aluminium with both i's?

Tally ho.

Spoken with all the couth and articulation I'd expect from you, sir. Have an absolutely fruminous day.


Oi! I'm erudite, I am. Come here and I'll absolutely fruminate you!

I would like to hereby confirm my concordance with the sentiment expressed so admirably by the original poster, a sentiment that has been heretofor inadequately expressed in our collective discourse. That is, brevity is the soul of wit, and so no one, including (but especially) the author of a work intended for public consumption, is well-served by allowing the encroachment or proliferation of superfluous verbosity. In fact, each and every one of us should continuously, tirelessly strive to convey our specific message to it's intended recipients in the fewest number of words reasonably possible, depending, of course, upon the context of the communication and the expected audience. In any event, in no case should one ever succumb to the ever-present temptation to overindulage in the supplementing of his or her communiqué with unnecessary wordiness, as doing so inexorably results in retarding the efficacy of the resulting communication attempt. I would expound upon my thoughts a good deal more, but in keeping with the spirit and intent of this particular message board thread, I must wholeheartedly endeavor to be relatively brief.

Thank you. ;-)

I was thinking I would expand on my original post a bit but then I realized I'd made my point and extra wordage was wasteful... like this post.

So should we establish a 26 base number set dictionary where every possible value is allocated a precise meaning? What do we allocate to yzzz? And how does that differ from zzzz?
