SandmanIf your irony meter is malfunctioning, maybe I can help you. I think you have it placed too close to your own posts. When you claim that someone else can't read or write English, and describe them as "illiterare", that just plays havoc with an irony meter. Especially when you have a dictionary at hand for citing, but could be used to look up spelling. Instead of scrabbling around trying to find a definition that fits your inappropriate use, use the dictionary to find out how to spell the words you intend to use to claim they don't know how to read and write.
Hahaha! My irony meter just exploded. And now it's on fire. And now my house burned down.Tony CooperSandman
Most learners of a second language accept the input of native speakers and adjust their future usage.
I invite a native speaker to come with input. Illiterare trolls on usenet? Not so much :)Tony CooperSandman
Some are even appreciative of the input.
People like me, for instance.Tony CooperSandman
You, however, defend your inappropriate usage and claim the native speaker is illiterate.
If you don't want to be called an illiterare, learn to read and write.
You might also employ that "read" thing yourself and proofread what you write before hitting "send". You're still going to be viewed as a laughingstock, but it may help.
Your other problem might be that what you are looking at is the Credibility Meter that is supposed to measure your credibility. It's not broken, it's just registering zero.
I can't be arsed to reply to every post of yours, but I did appreciate the humor of you following up your "illiterare" post with one that includes "pom pom's" "popcorn's" and a train wreck of a sentence. You might want to use that dictionary to look up "possessive".
I'll help you, and give you a clue: https://www.google.com/#q=possessive+define The clue is that it's not the first definition that you need here.
Just out of curiosity, do Swedish circuses have people pom pom people? I've been to the circus here many times, but have never seen a pom pom carried or waved.
Or, is it just a mixed metaphor where you are clumsily attempting to connect cheerleaders and circus people? That might be it since it's the man that's straw and the elephant is in the room.
