OK, that's another word for it. Thanks!
Thanks for admitting that objections to my point work only as hyperbole, not to be taken seriously.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

Whatever gets you through the day.
True examples are hard to find, obviously, because by definition I don't know the words I won't know. I've run across it in the past, however, with regional differences in the US.

I think you're forgetting the most salient detail here...

Sure, *you* don't know yet what words that you don't know you'll come across in the future. But this ("offside", that is -- not "y'all") was aparently not just an example of *you, the recipient*, not getting it right. I've run across it in the past, however, with regional differences in the US. What -- you've really come across cases where someone uses regional-dialect expressions that even *they, the speaker*, don't get right, often enough for it to be worth mentioning here? And, to get back to the point: If you really have encountered *that*, are you seriously claiming that you *didn't* think that was "excessive" use of regional dialect (in the sense of hindering communication with out-of-regionals like you)? I find it hard to believe that you really think the onus was on you to understand something that even the person who was saying it didn't understand. Is that really how you feel?

Ha, nice try.
You were bitching about this looooong before Peter realized he wasn't saying it correctly.
Thanks for playing, drive through.

Not even a "nice try" from you, though.
Too obvious a try at obfuscating the whole point of _this sub-sub-thread_: That your contention that it wasn't confusing was *wrong*, and that the fact that this was due to Peter himself getting it wrong rather proves my point, not yours.
And I could hardly have been "bitching" about *that* before you started the SST, which is so bleeding obvious that it makes your try not-even-nice.

Ha ha, very funny. But, hey, if you're granting...
...me "ownership" of the whole conversation, then your behaviour above only becomes all the more egregious: In the future, don't be such an arsehole as to try to retroactively redefine what it's been about, mmkay? That sucks bad enough even if you're an equal "part-owner" of a conversation.

No, you mistake my meaning.
The supposed "sub-sub-thread" about "That your contention that it wasn't confusing" is your conversation, not mine. In other words, I'm not involved in your "Peter was wrong himself, therefore I was right" construct, which was invented far after the fact to justify your *original* post -- regardless of your attempt to hijack my meaning.
And now I'm done with this completely, now that you've finished your descent into casuistry.
HTH!
