I will join a fellow komrad in battle anytime ;D  us perdix fans need to ban together! :)      and why is it almost always the illiterate ones that cause trouble and make horrid arguments? they just make themselves sound more stupid and cause the majority of people to hate them.    I love LOVE pointing out the mistakes that grammar freaks make when correcting others though! lmfao :) although I am very picky about my own grammar I know and recognize that everyone makes mistakes... we are all human. and every society has their own rules and form to the English language. it's unfair and stupid to assume that there is only one way to do things.  plus it's very hard to type correctly on an iTouch :/

Kind of funny to see two people who have made multiple gramamtical in all their posts calling anyone else iliterate, while failing to actually point out a single thing that could be considered illiterate posted by anyone else. I guess you just wanted to fanboy perdix and jump on the fact he used the word in one of his earlier posts. Cute in a desperate teen e-crush kind of way I guess.

Please oh please tell me my mistakes oh Queen of Grammar! Forgive me of my errors! For you are so much smarter than the rest of us! (By the way that's sarcasm. I didn't know if you knew what that was so I felt the need to clarify.) Except for not capitalizing I have excellent grammar. And as I said, "We are human. We all make mistakes." Oh and if I'm so illiterate then how did I understand that Perdix wasn't serious? I mean anyone with a quarter of a brain and a sense of humor would have gotten that. So I guess that means you have neither? Hm... Shame. Oh well... The world needs balance. Not everyone can be smart :/ some people are just born dumber than the rest.

Another thing, please tell me another word for, "not able to read or write" besides the words... benighted, catachrestic, ignorant, inerudite, solecistic, uneducated, unenlightened, ungrammatical, uninstructed, unlearned, unlettered, unread, unschooled, untaught, and untutored. Which imply that the person is stupid because it's their own fault. Illiterate suggests that the person is not to blame, and that they are simply misguided.

Your grammar is far from "excellent". "Comrade", not "komrad". Full stop after anytime. "Band", not "ban". Don't start a sentence with "and" and use a capital. Even if it's informal it's used wrongly. It implies you're continuing a subject. You're not. You're changing it from "baning" together to complaining about others. Although is used improperly. No full stop after "human". You either use American English or British English and the difference in grammar between the two isn't very big. If you need to make excuses for your grammar at least come up with a plausible one. An iTouch might excuse some typos or shortened words, but not all the mistakes listed above. Comma after "please" and before "oh". No exclamation mark after "errors". Comma after "oh" and before "and if I'm so...". Comma instead of full stop after "that" and before "So I guess...". Sarcasm is implied mostly by tone of speech. Shockingly, that doesn't work in text. As perdix's post is almost identical to a few dozen other posts in this comments section, made by people who are entirely serious, it is hardly obvious sarcasm. "Illiterate" implies it is not the persons fault about as much as almost any other word that isn't "dyslexic". I have no idea what point you were trying to make with your thesaurus cut and paste. I don't think you do either seeing as whatever it was contradicted itself. At any rate, I never called anyone illiterate. I merely pointed out the irony of you attempting to call anyone else illiterate with your awful grammar.

  twinklestar you crack me up. lmfao :) god it's people like you that's the reason I get on this site... it's fun to watch you try and defend yourself and act like you are superior to everyone...  because you aren't.   in fact you are far from it. there's a word for people like you... their called, "drama queens" ever been called one? or how about, "bitch?" is that a more familiar word? I bet you hear that a lot from people at school. because you're either a royal pain in the ass to everyone around you or you're the freak loner with no life or friends. so which are you?     FYI... I spelled it Komrad because it just looks cooler :D   and does anyone else notice how the more people make fun of her grammar the "better" it gets and the more defensive she reacts?  sigh... you truly are amusing twinklestar :) you're like the clown at the circus. strictly there for amusement and nothing else. you add no sustenance to the world. after you're done you go back to your horrible life where nothing goes your way and it sucks. but no one cares.

Ohhhhh snap Twinklestar now don't you feel big!!!!! Congratulations on having the time to go on FML and waste your time correcting grammatical errors that everyone else is smart enough to give a crap about! I applaud you for your devotion to grammar that allows you to do so!!!! Clearly you are the most intelligent person on this site, O great queen of grammar, for you notice mistakes that either your dumbass pals up there don't, or the smart people don't. We are not worthy(sarcastic bow)!!!!! Illiterate is in fact the best word for this scenario, for who am I to blame those who did not receive the opportunity I did to learn comprehension. Even if such people decide to poison FML wiu their stupidity, I will not sink to their level by way of petty insults. Therefore I will use illiterate instead of a potentially insulting word such as ignorant. I did not copy Perdix, though if I did it's no big deal, for he is a god. And not a self proclaimed grammar god as you appear to be. He was making a joke, as anyone with the ability to comprehend words would realize. That is the illiteracy of which we speak: inability to comprehend writing, not to read or write. We could give a damn about grammar. So kindly go annoy some other poor soul about their us of your instead of you're. We don't want to hear it.

Sorry I meant that the smart people don't CARE, not that they don't notice

I wasn't really defending myself. I was pointing out your grammar, which you had defended in the earlier post, is bad. If I was defending myself, I would have been saying something along the lines of "I have excellent grammar". Perhaps "defending" is another word you don't understand? I really only said it's funny you'd bitch about people being illiterate while using awful grammar. Like that goth kid at school who writes bad poetry all through their lunch break and fails all their classes, but then complains to their one friend in the year below them how they "hate everyone and they're all stupid". If you want to bitch about others being illiterate, don't start desperately defending of your own bad grammar and crying that others think they're superior to you. I'm not actually at school(seeing as you were cut enough to go visit my profile I'm guessing you know this but couldn't come up with any other insults besides that weren't redundant and overused), and no, your clever and original guess at names I might of been called at school wouldn't be right.

You my Dear, have been owned. There is nothing else you can say without running in circles. So go cry to your stuffed animals and your imaginary friend(s) about this latest travesty in life. Or better yet... Post it on FML because everyone wants to hear about your problems! :D (This is sarcasm obviously. No one cares about her, she just thinks we do.) and now I bid you, "Adieu!" :D You are no longer worthy enough of my time. Actually you never were in the first place, but I was bored. Lmfao :)

Oh damn. You people must feel so great about yourselves, eh? You must do, if you have to gang up on someone 3-1 to make yourselves feel superiour. Well, guess what? It isn't looking superiour, it's looking pathetic, and sad. And what's more, you must really have a sick sense of humour, finding someone 'joking' about another person being a *****, when you know nothing about her. She could have been raped, for all you know. Joking about an unborn child, or a pregnant mother in despair who doesn't know who to turn to, is sadistic. Not funny. Sadistic.

Hooray for sadism!!!!! I lobe being sadistic, obviously, and that was more of a compliment than an insult!!!!! Yippeee!!!!

Yeah, I'd disappear too if I couldn't even whinge in a consistent manner. As it would seem from the tone of your posts you don't even seem to have any idea what you're saying, let alone what anyone else is. I'm wasn't defensive about anything. You never said my grammar was bad. You complained about how illiterate and stupid everyone who doesn't agree with your bitchy view is, and I pointed out the irony in your comment given how badly it was written. Since then you've deteriorated this exchange into an even incohesive rant of awfully redundant insults you'd expect from a 12 year old. Probably best you bow at now like the awful troll you try to be who has suddenly realised there is no way they can win and don't want to lose face on the internet, the only place you will ever find any form, however remote, of acceptance.

boygenius, I didn't at any point claim to be excellent at grammar. Do you have reading comprehension issues? I only pointed out that it was silly to call people illiterate if your grammar is awful. If you don't care about literacy on a text based medium don't say things like "I'm very picky about my own grammar" or "people who disagree with me are illiterate" and you'll be less likely to have your idiocy pointed out. Perdix's post is almost identical to the rants made by the majority of other posters here and not extreme to the point to be obvious as sarcasm as you are assuming it is. It wouldn't even be especially great as sarcasm if it was spoken and therefor indicated by tone. If you think his posts are great despite the fact they are pretty much what everyone else is saying without adding anything to give it an actual dimension of ironic humour, that's fine, but that won't change the fact that it's not actually original or humourous. If it was made by any other poster than someone you've been fanboying, you wouldn't even be aware it was intended as sarcasm. Sometimes you have to realise not everyone will be aware of the antics of your favourite fan-base-of-10-e-celebrity.

I mean i love being sadistic. And if you could count you'd realize that it's 2 against one, and that we're not really picking on her as she can remove herself from the situation at any time and we wouldn't care. In fact, we'd be glad to be rid of her as she is an enormous pain in the ass!!!

Try-hard sadism isn't really cool. Cute you find people on the internet who's comments you are apparently forced to read upsetting. Sorry I interrupted your bonding bitch session to point out why it was kind of ridiculous though. I guess you don't have much else going for you in life and I shouldn't enjoy ruining that for you too.

I mean i love being sadistic. And if you could count you'd realize that it's 2 against one, and that we're not really picking on her as she can remove herself from the situation at any time and we wouldn't care. In fact, we'd be glad to be rid of her as she is an enormous pain in the ass!!!

Oh, please excuse me for making a typo, because obviously, you've never done it before, boygenius. However, that last comment made me laugh. You're saying she's a pain in the ass? I'm reminded of a certain saying containing words such as; pot, kettle, black. I will always defend the situation against someone who wants to sit there and joke cruelly about an unborn child, and it's terribly confused mother, simply because it happened to my mum, when she was pregnant with my second little brother. The family was fine with it. Yet she almost died because she refused to have the baby aborted, because she just couldn't bring herself to do it. My mum's fiancee's ex wife, thought it was funny, to sit there and bitch about my mother and my little brother, who was still unborn, and make sadistic jokes about them. It wasn't funny, and she stupidly said it infront of my future stepdad's mum. She got kicked out of the house, and was told to never come back. Comments like those, aren't funny. When you've got a baby's life hanging in there, it's not something to joke about. It never has, and it never will be.

Exactly the point of everyone who agrees with me on here: this girl is probably(not that anyone knows for sure) confused to the point that she shouldn't be having a kid. Especially with the possibility of complications like that. I didn't mean to offend anyone, but I did point this out earlier, and this was the result. A huge argument that you've now joined in on and looped right back to the beginning. And I didn't talk about typos, I make them all the time cuz I could care less!!

Your obsessive correcting of everbody else's grammar is proof enough that you care way too much about grammar. And as far as I can tell, I never said anything remotely like "I'm picky about my own grammar." Get your facts straight. Also, as I've said multiple times before, my use of the word illiterate was not meant to imply that those I was referring to could not read or write, I meant that they lacked the ability to read between the lines. I did not say it because they disagreed with me, I said it because they took what was(to me) clearly a joking comment waaaay too seriously. I am quite aware that the comment wasn't that great, but that's no reason for people to go berserk at me or him over it. And pretty much anyone could see that that comment was a joke, regardless of who posted it. Anyone with the ability to comprehend words. . .OMG look where we are again? At the illiteracy of you and your incredibly unintelligent friends.

@twinklestar- I'm not trying to be sadistic, but according to them I am. And I could care less. I believe the reason that you gave for our conversation being "ridiculous" was that we had bad grammar. You then turned around and said In your last post that you didn't really care about grammar. Therefore, our conversation was in no way ridiculous. You didn't ruin anything though! You've just made it a lot more fun because I unlike you and most others on here, do not come on to make myself feel big and powerful when my entire life's gone in the shitter. Instead I come to discuss and share my opinion with others. You are giving me the opportunity to do so. For example: you're a huge bitch. No one forces me to read your posts obviously, but I do so out of respect for you and the opinion you are entitled to. Each time I read your posts, however, your idiocy causes that respect to dwindle away. So it's no huge wonder that I consider you to be a pain.

Everyone else's?? Really boygenius? I corrected your grammar once and kira's when she asked what could possibly be flawed about her apparently "excellent" grammar. I was referring more to kira's comments, seeing as she was the person my comments were directed at before you felt the need to jump in, but you did actually say "grammar mistakes drive me crazy too". If you want to use the word "illiterate" incorrectly, go for it, but if you're going to direct it at anyone else you should at least make sure you have the basics of grammar or you're just going to look stupid. As I said above and you chose not to respond to, the posts that you think apparently require your definition of "literacy"(if you have a severely limited vocabulary, that's fine, but it's a bit ridiculous to start making up definitions for words simply because you don't know the correct word to use) are pretty much what everyone else is saying without adding anything to give it an actual dimension of ironic humour, that's fine, but that won't change the fact that it's not actually original or humourous. If it was made by any other poster than someone you've been fanboying, you wouldn't be aware it was intended as sarcasm. Sometimes you have to realise not everyone will be aware of the antics of your favourite fan-base-of-10-e-celebrity. Apparently "pretty much everyone else" who could apparently see it was a joke consisted of two people(i.e. NOT everyone else), and a lot of people who thought it was in bad taste and not even remotely funny(due to the aforementioned fact, it's pretty much exactly what everyone else said in complete seriousness).

Ridiculous because you were complaining about illiteracy while using bad grammar boygenius. Do you have a severe reading comprehension problem as well? Generally people don't state they find something fun, then go on to complain about it being a pain. It's very easy to call someone stupid but you have yet to apply it accurately by actually responding to why it would require "literacy" to pick up on sarcasm if it is almost exactly what most other posters have said in complete seriousness without adding anything to give it an ironic element. Once you leave middle school people generally expect you to be able to come up with a bit more than "you're stupid, i'm right" if you're going to attempt to argue with grown ups.

Why is it that every douchebag on the internet tries to win fights by insulting the way the other guy types, or that he says ****, and in the end it turns from a genuine topic into the same old argument of three or more people tossing fancy words and huge paragraphs at each other, thinking their smart. What the **** ever man.

But what you don't understand apparently is, you didn't post the word ignorant because it's "insulting," when you actually posted that entire comment as an insult. What's the point, there, dude?

If you were talking about me, I actually left because there was no point in arguing with a fifteen year old know-it-all who is trying to seem smart by using big words. Why should I waste my time with someone as insignificant and annoying as you?

No, no one was talking about you. I think basic reading comprehension would have enabled you to realise this. You left because you and your e-bf couldn't defend your ridiculous argument anymore, as you're proving once again by using quite possibly the weakest attempt at an insult I have ever seen. I mean really, you kept visiting my profile, can see I'm 23 and decided calling me 15 would in some way be a good call, despite the fact that if I was 15 it would probably just be more embarrassing for you to be called out by someone so young. And just out of curiosity what are these "big words" you feel are being used just to confuse you? I really don't think I've seen anyone use any words that most 8th graders wouldn't be familiar with.

Wow, someone has issues. After announcing to the uncaring and uninterested internet for no apparent reason that you have a girlfriend you go on to invent a scenario for the OP just to give yourself an excuse to rant and feel somehow superior to the OP, who can at least express herself on topics that are relevant and without sounding like a drooling retard. Good work...

Oh right, you must be SO smart, having an IQ of over 25! Well, actually. I'm doubting that. Seeing as all you can do, is sit there and call people 'dumb bitches'. You want to show how superiour you are? Gtfo the computer and stop bragging about your girlfriend to everyone. I'm surprised you even have one, tell me, if you get her pregnant, what will you do? Girls aren't disposable items that you can just change every now and again, and you really are failing to see the other possibilities. I bet you're so happy you were born with a penis, else you'd probably be critisized as a hypocrite. It's assholes like you, who have no idea what they're talking about, yet they continue to try and bring other people down. It's manipulative swine like you who make women hate men. I honestly pity your poor girlfriend. Send her my regards.

Since when does being in college permit you to believe you are somehow superior? Stop being so condescending. To his gf in the below comment - stop trying to act hard and realise that threatening over the internet is very much pathetic.

It's spelled "relevant", and it's not. Why would it matter if you had a gf and who would care?? And you're superior because you presumably finished high school? I'm guessing most people here have... English is my second language, and I'm still better at it than you. I shudder to think what some of you people here would be like if you ever had to learn a second language.

Just figured I'd let you know, dude, your IQ doesn't change, so, uh, have fun with that.
