Your entire bloviated, smoke-filled, what-my-daughter-thinks excuse boils down to, "I made a mistake." I leave it to the jury to judge your credibility.

Let's not bother if Junior says 2 + 2 = 22 or writes without punctuation, but give him an A for creativity. [Arlo] See, its this type of ridiculous dishonesty that really makes you look like a fool. Let's see, if my child saw a misprint in a paper that went "2 # 2 = 4", and she was able to figure out from the context that "#" should have been "+", yes, I'd say that makes her MUCH SMARTER than the idiot who writes the paper demanding a retraction because "#" is a grammatical error and he can't figure out what the equation means. And if by "creativity", you mean that my daughter is able to look past grammatical mistakes and understand meaning in context, rather than break down like a robot because an author misused punctuation, then by all means, she gets an A. [Platt] Personally I'd be ashamed to ask a juvenile to justify my lying. [Arlo] I asked her about this, and she said "this guy is a jackass". Since I had agreed you remark on my grammatical mistake (double instead of single quotes), and was pointing out that even a kid could understand that in context that was obviously a parody, this type of talk-radio bombast really paints you quite the.. jackass. [Platt] This wasn't the first time you have used quotes to falsely report what I said. Then you preach about intellectual honesty. Pathetic. [Arlo] Right, and you can show me ANY instance, a single ONE, where its not obviously a parody to ANYONE who reads it? ONE? Go ahead, I'll wait... I admit, I'm a bit lazy typing emails, its a blended discourse genre to me, and I don't sweat "single versus double quotes" when the context obviously shouts PARODY!. But since such a thing boggles your hardwired brain, and since I am dealing with someone with a lower literacy than my teenage daughter, I'll be sure as to follow strict grammar rules when talking to you, Platt, so your little brain doesn't explode... Kudos, though, for the inane distortions. "Jackass", indeed.
