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?

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.

Post #210,757 by CRConrad 6/10/05 2:38:21 AM Reply	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. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

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! Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
