"unlike the crap DOS and TA ( tits and arse )"

I was foolish enough to think that you had, by now, matured enough to at least have a quasi intelligent conversation. I was incorrect.

"Two months ago I was asked by a professor what I thought of a book of advanced grammar that was being used in his classes of post-graduate English major girls. I told him it was convuluted, overly complicated, a type of grammatical overkill that was really impractical for real world situations.

You need not have identified the gender of the class. I knew the students would be female. In fact, gender should have been omitted altogether as, I presume, this book is not a study of male-female assimilation/absorption of advanced grammar.

He, Silver-boy knows anything about advanced grammar? An uneducated comment on a book without revealing the title and author of the work, denying myself and others who might be interested in judging the text, in no way adds or detracts from the subject. Further, to critically judge a book one must read it Here, I think we have a case of just flipping through the pages. If that. When one has an opinion about a subject and wishes to express it, surely one must know something about the subject. Here, obviously, this is not the case.

Silver-boy, do you really think that you are not judged by others on the quality, bearing, deportment, and ability to express yourself correctly in your native language? Do you not know that your knowledge of grammar (speaking) within your circle of friends, within your country, grants you privilege, favor and opportunity to advance. I suggest you have yet to be permitted to chum with those who value, speak and use proper English.

Angels that fly too close to the ground may crash inflicting fatal injuries.
