This is really becoming a completely pointless discussion.
Most of the people on this forum appear to be native English speakers. In
my experience, native English speakers have absolutely no motivation or
desire to learn any other language. Furthermore, a large percentage of the
allegedly educated ones can barely handle their own grammar and spelling.
Eg. in the sentence above, many would write "they're own grammar ..." AARGH!!
On the other hand, those of us on this forum that are not native English
speakers, seem to manage to convey our meaning quite nicely, thank
you. English is already a bastard language; difficult enough to learn as
it is. Let's not go out of the way to bastardize it even further with
idiocies like "enuf."
Can we please stop this stupid thread? My time is valuable (if only to
myself :-)
Muriel: De vez em quando eu perdo a paciencia com esses
babacas. Geralmente, este forum é bom, mas as vezes tem tanta boçalidade
... :-)
Cheers,
Egon :-)
