1. Stream of Consciousness - psychological Individual conscious experience regarded as a continuous series of occurrences rather than as separate, disconnected events.
2. Stream-of-Consciousness - adj. [term orig. by William James] designating, of, or using a narrative t4ehnique where by the thoughts, percepts, etc. of one or more of the characters of a novel, short story, etc. are recorded.
Now, if you want, I will recommend some books for you to read that are written in stream of consciousness. However, I’m sure you have already studied these books, among others. Since you are so superior in this field, English grammar and all that pertain to it. I am finished here; enjoy the rest of my posts.

Yet James Joyce you ain't, you ignorant slut.

We put only one space before a period in English. Two, when we are typing. And, we do not use spaces when we are using abbreviations.
”Yet James Joyce you ain't...”
Ain’t? You have to be kidding. Why not use real words, since you are so superior at this. I mean, come on, that is just painful. Personally, I think that my respect for you just dropped a few hundred points… I could understand if it was a type-o, but you actually meant to use “ain’t.” Hell, even when you are trying to insult someone it is a good idea to practice what you preach.

Um, no. We put no spaces in front of a period. No spaces before, two at the end of the sentence, my nature worshipping miscreant.
Ah, there's the lesson, Gothy McBlackAngst. There's a difference between casual speech and mispelling. While the axiom of "Ain't ain't a word" holds true, when talking down to people, I feel it gets the message across. Especially over this cold medium we call the Internet.

I am just using the whole thing, because it has a few mistakes ^_^. First, “Um, no.” is a fragment sentence, so is “No spaces before, two at the end of the sentence…” Everyone knows that that is a very big grammar error. Second, “Nature worshipping” is hyphenated it should be spelled like so, Nature-Worshipping. Next on the list is “mispelling.” If it worked for William Shakespeare, it can work for you, right, Ridwan? My point is that “mispelling” is not a word, maybe you meant, “misspelling.” I could be mistaken, however.
One last thing, “Ain’t ain’t a word” there should be a comma after the first “ain’t.” This is standard grammar here, Ridwan, and you are slipping. Perhaps you have been reading my, oh so bad, journal too much?
I am not going to be too harsh and point out that contractions are not really words. They are two words crammed together with an apostrophe. I will let that one slide by, Grammar Master, as it is a rule that most people do not worry about unless they are writing a formal paper.
We can continue this, if you would like, however, I am starting to loose interest…

Ain’t ain’t a word
There should not be a comma. X is not Y. There is no comma. Not "X, is not Y".
Contractions aren't words? That's news to me, especially considering this is, to paraphrase you, the most casual writing medium on the face of the known world. In any case, I would rather not explore the stupidity of that statement.
By the way, you forgot to say anything about the actual content of my comment.
In conclusion, you are an idiot. You can not write. You're fat (take that contraction boy). Your personal hygeine is poor at best. Your girlfriend is a neon sign (and is bested by McDonald's and BurgerKing). Your hair is greasy. Your taste in clothing is poor. You can not write. Your LiveJournal is poorly designed.
And you're still in high school, for the 18th year*.
* Approximated time.

Man, this has a lot… You must be upset.
We will start this off with me commenting on your last post. Please point out the understood subject in “Um, no.” From where I stand, there is a subject in that statement. Granted, there was one in the other sentence, and that was strictly a bad call on my behalf. I apologize. However, there is no subject for “Um, no.” Prove me wrong…and I will give you a cookie.
Next on the list, is the “Ain’t ain’t a word...” topic. Number one, it is not a word, number two, there should be a comma. Now, if you were saying “Ain’t isn’t a word…” then, no, there would be no comma. However, you are using the same word twice in a row, and I was always told that that is wrong unless there is something breaking them up, such as a comma. But, what do I know; I am a bad writer. However, most people would notice that little mistake…even for the misconception that it could be a double negative. *
Now, let us list your misspelled words, shall we?
1) Hygeine should be spelled Hygiene
2) BurgerKing should be two words. Burger King
3) LiveJournal should also be two words. Live Journal
Now, I thought you were an English major, or something. I seem to be finding many mistakes within your stuff tonight.
Lastly, to conclude my corrections, contractions are not words. Yes, they are perfectly fine to use in informal writing, however, in formal writing you should write out the full two words. You are the one that harps about my grammar, even though I use informal grammar since it is a journal.
To comment on your content, I would say that your recourses are lacking. You are basing a formal opinion of my writing by reading, what we have already established as an informal journal, and nothing that I have written formally. A good writer would to his reading before going on to trash another’s work.
Another thing, a good writer would not contradict himself, or make himself out to be a hypocrite. You, sir, have done just that. You, first, accuse me of being arrogant…you then proceed to make yourself seem so superior by belittling my work. Maybe you are using a different meaning for the word, right? I am sure.
As for the content of this post, I feel that it is very well written…for something informal. However, I were to be insulted by anything here…it would be at how you completely contradict yourself. You are using my point to make yourself come out on top. However, you are just making me right. Therefore, instead of you winning, I win. A good argument would have found a way around that. Never the less, I do not write well and would not know that. Oh, and by the way, I am not holding little things against you, since this is informal.
* Ok, as I read over this…I noticed that I am a bleeding moron. You are correct, in the fact that there should be no comma, however, using it twice in a sentence like that makes the entire thing weaker. You could have said, “Ain’t is not a word…” and that would have saved you two annoying paragraphs, myself as well. I apologize for my mistake…

As for the the run together names - I disagree with BK, but my default Livejournal Title is Livejournal.
I was always told that that is wrong unless there is something breaking them up, such as a comma.
You're a dumbass.
But, what do I know; I am a bad writer.
Keep saying that and it will be okay. There are numerous instances of a repeated word not having a comma between them; had had comes to mind immediately.
Wow, you picked up it was a double negative? It took long enough. Ain't ain't a word is what is called a "colloquialism." Look it up, bitch.
A good writer would to his reading before going on to trash another’s work.
A good writer would put his best foot forward, as much as possible, no matter how informal the medium is.
Actually, I'm Pre-Med, Anthony. You'll find out about majors when you graduate from high school in about six years.
I noticed that I am a bleeding moron.
So did I, so did I...
You're a dumbass.

Your grasp on English is so poor, you have no right or stance from which to criticize either Ridwan or myself. I don't know if Ridwan has brought it up, but his father is an English professor with a PhD on the collegiate level, and I myself have had a year and a half of some of the best and most intensive composition classes around, thanks to my ability to enter and remain in my college's honors program, as well as taking instruction from a doctor of the English language.
In conclusion, your intellect is lacking and your personal hygene is poor. In addition, my girlfriend is extremely hot, and Japanese.

Man, that is so wrong! Pat, you are the English major…right? I knew it had to be one of you. See, in English, as we have stated, sentences express a thought. Often, they are not strung together like a pair of old shoes.
“I don’t know if Ridwan has brought it up, but his father is an English professor with a PhD on the collegiate level. I myself have had a year and a half of some of the best and most intensive composition lasses, thanks to my ability to enter and remain in my colleges honors program, as well as taking instructions from a doctor of the English language.”
That is correct. Do not go boasting unless you are 100% correct, Patty-boy!
Again, you have both misspelled Hygiene. Hell, even I can get that one right!
Another thing, your girlfriend has nothing to do with this…that is completely off the topic, Pat. If you knew what you were doing, you would not change the subject so drastically for something that is completely irrelevant!
“Your grasp on English is so poor, you have no right or stance from which to criticize either Ridwan or…”
It should be a semicolon, not a comma, Pat.
“In addition, my girlfriend is extremely hot, and Japanese.”
Again, what relevance does that have? Either stick to the topic, or move on!
