yes, and I spotted a few more errors from the Grammar Nazi Rabbit in that self-same post. his clause "a bastion of correct English use" should have contained a verb, and the word "use" should have been "usage" - but he is just a rabbit, after all, and they have small brains, the size of walnuts.

You all have the temerity to correct *my* English? The sheer number of errors that you have made over the years is truly horrendous, but do I point them out? No. Oh, I could play your little game and start picking up every insignificant error, such as the fact that the word "Masters" (In Loc's post) lacks a capital "M" despite the fact that it is a proper noun, however I will not. No, I will be the bigger rabbit here, and will merely ignore your petty insults. *Hops off, head held high*

watch out for the tripwire.

but Loc is Dutch, English is not his primary tongue, although in the Germanic languages (Dutch, Flemish, German, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as well as various sub-groups and dialects) nouns do generally possess leading capitals. So I think we can allow him a few minor errors. You, Reader Rabbit, however, have no excuse for your aberrations! And I doubt that you can speak a single word of Dutch... which makes Loc superior in his linguistic legerdemain than yourself.

Ah yes, now we have come to the point at which we all start making excuses for our English-related errors. *Shakes head* As for Loc's excuse, "that dog won't hunt Monseigneur"! Why? Because he started the corrections in the first place, and if you can’t “stand the heat...” and all that. In any case, that excuse only proves my point; if his English skills are not 100% due to the language gap, then the word “temerity” in my previous post is apt! Anyway, I have more important things to do. Like find a better health insurance provider. *Trots off*

ff - Are you *still* here? Try *adding* something to the conversation, rather than making predictable remarks designed to increase your post count. Ha! Take that! I'm on to you!

All? I'm not making any excuses; in my case bad typing and haste combined with failing eyesight are the primary culprits. Nor was I making an excuse for Loc, merely pointing out a relevant fact. And if you would care to read over the recent posts, Revisionist Rabbit, you'll find that Comrade Locutov did not commence criticism of your use of English, but simply expressed concern and skepticism over the adoption of "Lapin" as a common language.

But you trot off in search of a better vet, although I understand that they generally just give bunnies lethal injections aftre a cursory examination, not considering the vile pests worthy of proper medical care; a policy I heartily agree with. You'd be better offspending your money on a better computer, I hear one of the old dears who lives down your road has a W'98 Pentium 133 with 16mb EDO for sale, that would be an ideal step up for you from the archaism of Typhon

*sigh* rabbit taunting, it's even more fun than teasing FD's beard.

Uhhh, Esky, everything alright there down in the burrows lad??

have you ever thought of taking some time off?? could benefit you I think, as you see ghosts that aren't there.
As for linguistic capabilities, don't even go there, im studying up on Gaeilghe...

Lapin , the language of lagomorphic chimaerae is known for a vocabulary meant to accommodate the oversized upper incisors which protrude and extend past the lower lip.

It also is known for its infrequent use of vowel sounds so that to the untrained ear, Lapin sounds like a series of unflattering sounds meant to mimic efforts to suppress unpleasant bodily functions.

There is no gender in Lapin . There are no articles and a very simplified system of verb tense.

For example,

Pffmmpff pfllllpppff mmfflff flecchhhhh :

In literal word order: "day pleasant very is"

rrrfflmmmpf rrflnnnnpf ulmpff pfeh :

"ginger beer drink I."

My new WaveMaster is working quite nicely.

lagomorphic?! try Lycanthromorph...

Oh, I see. Now Indy is giving us lessons in basic Lapin, a language that he cannot speak. The arrogance! *Sigh* Setting aside the obvious taunts, please remember that Indy himself speaks "old skool" American English. Have you ever heard him? He was on "Teamspeak" once and his accent was so thick that I could barely understand him. I caught a phrase or two such as "...he wuz hittin' on ma baby's momma!" and "...I gots me some bling bling", but the rest seemed to be a rant about the price of parachute pants and baseball caps. *Shakes head* Do not listen to his lies! Lapin is a thriving and evolving language, and will come in handy in the future. After all, Lapin is substantially superior to Esperanto and has been adopted far more widely, and yet Esperanto is still being spoken today (by some). Hence, Lapin will continue to be relevant, and I encourage you all to learn it. Sign up for a free course in Esquilaxitavia or Esquilaxistan today!

Loc - Allow me to quote...

/me thinks the Rabbit also has a thing or two to learn about lingua... despite his masters.

Although you did not directly correct any of me Engleesh, the above is clearly an attempt to impugn my "skillz" in the area of language. That is what I was referrin' to. If you would care to clarify your statement, and therefore state that you had no intention of insultin' me Engleesh, then I will retract my statement. I do not buy Taw's explanation of your comment, as it didna come fro' you.

Taw - Excuses, excuses . And you just wait for my new PC... He'll be an impressive beast. Much like me actually .

oh in that case, we'll never see him

Esky, my comment as stated was not a direct attack on your comprehension and mastery of the english language whatsoever, rather on your clarification of the Lapin language, you wanting it being unregionalized and without any dialect whatsoever. With not wanting to insult you directly in mind, and in no way wanting to critisize or scrutinize your use of English, I knocked up that statement. Satisfied?

(PS: I can speak and write English perfectly clear, with proper punctuation. The Reason I don't is simple, I can't be arsed doing it. )

But you have such a good accent Loc.

Let the record show that the long-eared and long-winded one did not, in fact, dispute the authenticity of the lapin phrases that were demonstrated.
