Atw - what are twunt

[northernladyuk]

atW figured in a dream I had last night. Can't remember the details but something about leaving past-their-sell-by-date bananas on busses to promote something.

Was it a sexy dream?

[woohoo]

He started an insulting thread. The fact that he is too uneducated to get the grammar correct in a four word phrase was mitigation enough to plea bargain in it down to one day.

I thought he was just stating a fact, so now it's an automatic ban to start a fact thread.

I'm confused.
I thought it was a fact that AtW is a successful multimillionaire entrepreneur and you're just an unemployed gobshite?
Have I got something wrong?

Do you understand set theory?

Sassy, you have got an awful lot of things wrong. But I like it that you keep posting and ignoring the insults.

Every time I read one of your posts I need to get a coffee to keep me awake.

You asked a question, you even put a question mark on the end. So no, you did not just state a fact, you asked a question.

It's the ? at the end of the question that gives this away.

So a question...

Is sassy a little bit of a dick?

compared to a statement.

Sassy is a little bit of a dick.

Unless of course you are referring to the first line of your post "I'm confused." Yes that is a factual statement.

But it's not an interrogative structure, e.g.

Isn't it a fact that AtW is a successful multimillionaire entrepreneur and you're just an unemployed gobtulipe?

Instead he posted:

So it is a statement of fact (wrapped up in an indirect statement: 'I thought that...'), not a question. The question mark, however, is not strictly a correct usage, although in informal usage, it could be defended stylistically.

Oh gawd, not sure I can take another coffee.
