Dear You

[bangstand]

Knowing the difference between either, or and neither, nor does not mean that I'm fluent in the flowery language known as purple prose. That is all.

Damnit.

[gizzybiscuits]

Not really, fluent isn't all that special a word.

[wolfwonderess]

It...was? O_o

[illuminategrey]

Basic grammatical constructions are purple now? What?

[higenshi]

...That wasn't their point, I don't think. >>

They're saying, "Just because I'm good at English doesn't mean I can decipher that purple prose you're writing."

[talentedfool]

And I think what they was saying was "lolwut".
Also, I'm pretty sure illuminatagrey had it.

[illuminategrey]

Ah. I read it as them having been accused of using purple prose because they were able to apply either/or and neither/nor properly. (Which wouldn't entirely surprise me, coming from some of the residents of the internet.) Oops!

(I'm not entirely certain that purple prose is English. It might be some strange moon language that happens to have some words in common.)

Oh my god, are we really this petty? At this rate it'll be just as bad as fanficrants...

TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO LOOSEN UP AND LOOSEN UP YOURSELF

[rainbowxgeek]

? I don't see pettiness. Perhaps you have a different side of the story to share?

[dimitrinabokov]

I find it somewhat humorous that the demand for the OP to "loosen up" was made in all caps >_>

[paperclipchains]

ALLCAPS IS VERY LOOSENED UP
