I can understand my language often deviates from more idiomatic usage. Nonetheless, it is, in fact, English used in the proper. If you have difficulty reading it, you may request more simplistic speach used in its stead. Or, you may ask me to restate things, or explain them, if you either desire to learn such English or simply to understand a particular element of such in its usage.
I only wish you were able to appreciate that language isn't your forte and that it could do with some degree of improvement. Your use of English is not proper, and it's certainly not kind on your audience. Once again, someone dares criticise your style, and you insult them by telling them they cannot read English. This is a forum board that uses the written word for communication. The written word is a beautiful thing.
You claim to be stupefyingly intelligent: then you will understand that it isn't because a sentence is circumvoluted and inelligible that it's more worthy of respect - or that it conveys more meaning. Actually, the leaner the better.
I have one tip for you: adverbs suck.
Ick. Missed responding to this one before. Not that this was a particularly tragic one to miss- you're essentially trying to play off your linguistic difficulties on me.
Look, if you find my posts so hard to read, then pass them by. I do not expect everyone's reading level to be sufficient to interpret everything I may happen to type. If there's anything in specific which you find difficulty with, you may ask me to explain. I'll be glad to show you both how it's English and what it means.
PS- Adverbs add a wealth of definition to English; still, English is not nearly articulate enough to express many subtle and transient intricacies that find themselves manifest in human hearts and minds sufficiently in efficient speech. Giving them up would only serve to degrade the language; would you hope for inflection of tone to compensate as modifiers, despite such inflections already being so heavily taxed?
I believe you think English is difficult enough already. I feel it's not detailed enough.
