If that's shame, then I like it. Excuse me while I go shame myself again.

That. Restrictive clause. You fail.

Perhaps the Judge should spend more time on substance and less on form.

Restrictive clauses are not technically incorrect, just verbose. The verbose mode of communication is perfectly legitimate; indeed, for one with as much to say for herself as me, it is a vehicle of truth.

To put it succinctly: your judgement call relies upon distinctions which are entirely subjective, and therefore worthless to anyone other than yourself.

Enjoy them nonetheless.

First off, I must say that I've enjoyed reading your posts. However, I have to point out that:

This can also, succinctly as you put it, be used in response to your own claims of beauty, superiority, etcetera.

Not so; I am the one absolute which exists in the otherwise subjective mosaic which forms the universe. Because I say so.

I like you though. I half want to make you into a militant pedant, but I think I shall leave you be as an expression of diversity.

I believe you're in the minority there, but thank you, and congratulations upon your ability to recognise sublimity.

I can't say this officially until I complete the paperwork, but off the record -welcome to Paradise.

It is ironic that one with a name such as yours would be unable to properly discern the content of my argument. Nevertheless, and due to my benevolent nature, I will patiently explain to my budding neophyte the full ramifications of my three word check-and-mate:

That. Restrictive clause. You fail.

My argument is not that it is impossible to use the nonrestrictive clause here, but that no matter what your intentions, you have proven yourself fallible, and thus dethroned yourself from the position of omnipotent judge.

Allow me to analyze all possible scenarios in order to demonstrate your assured descent from grace:

Scenario A: You meant exactly what you said. If so, using a nonrestrictive clause here would imply that there are multiple, equally perfect, but different, states of perfection, which is impossible. Once something is perfect it conforms to the ideal type. Therefore, by proclaiming multiple states of perfection, you have told a lie, proving your fallibility and thus your unsuitability for role as judge.

Scenario B: Same as above, but you, being perfect, offer indisputable proof of the existence of multiple states of perfection. In so doing, you would have to recognize the relativity of perfection, and in so doing, disqualify yourself from your own superiority and fitness for role as judge.

Scenario C: You meant to say what I think you meant to say: "...aspire to the state of perfection that allows you to finish a sentence without drenching yourself in shame." Were this the sentence you had typed, then there would indeed be only one state of perfection, and the possibility would have remained that you had attained it--but that's not what you typed, so no soup for you.

Scenario D: You meant to say ""...aspire to the state of perfection, which allows you to finish a sentence without drenching yourself in shame." This comma would similarly transform your sentence into an authoritative statement. Close, but no cigar.

In closing, allow me to quote from the master:

Also, "judgement" is spelled without that middle e.

My above post to Mir made this drivel superfluous, even before it was posted. However, given the woeful limitations your poor reading comprehension skills places upon your ability to process simple sentences, I shall, in my infinite compassion, go through it once more.

To repeat, everything in the universe is subjective but me.

Therefore, everything is subjective - UNTIL (and herein lies the paradox which you must endeavor to wrap your tiny mind around if you wish to grasp the nature of reality) I say so.

This means that your judgement (yes, that's how we spell it in civilised countries) is erroneous by virtue of purporting to be absolute, when it is in fact entirely subjective.

Your attempts to cloud the issue by pretending to know dick about linguistics, however, are laughable. This is NOT a subjective statement, because it is made by me. Are you beginning to understand?

The Judge changes mood now and then - ergo, multiple states of perfection exist, in order to accommodate any shift she may undergo at any point in time.

In conclusion: your argument is worthless.

Perhaps, in countries which are so confused by silent letters that they'd rather look silly by spelling it "labor" than simply learn to master the written language. In more civilised countries, however, we are able to do this without any major problems. You must forgive us if we occasionally forget that the burden of processing an extra letter is a great one for those who hail from lands determined to bastardize the English language.

Once again, you are entirely wrong. How frustrating this must be for you.

Hey Judge, if you can cyberspar with those entirely undeserving of your greatness, surely you can get your perfectly-crafted and unreservedly desirable ass onto MSN?

It's a bastard language to begin with.

Just sayin'.

Bastards now have a secret language that they made up. It's funny what a person can do when they live in a one parent household.

I love when Catch makes a dumb comment because she misinterpreted the conversation, and she thinks she's witty.

You could have said that exact same thing, in fewer words, without being a dick.

Catch, you misinterpreted the ongoing discussion.

Something would have to first be amusing in order for something else to be less amusing.

That is why, for all your intelligence, you fail to be a decent human being.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to single you out. Most people on here share this trait with you.
