Opinion of the Preceding Poster's Signature Thread IV

[ChrisJG777]

Must be a sock of Bob Dole since he refers to himself in the third person.  (I.e., "one's self" instead of "myself".)

Do I read correctly that yonder acquaintance here is unfamiliar with the formalities of "the Queen's English", instead mistaking one of its quirks for a concept as vulgar as illeism? 

I speak American, and to me "one" is distinctly a third person singular pronoun not a first person pronoun.  That's Brits as a group are daft enough to employ it as an affected first person is just more proof that you've been mucking up the language ever since we parted ways in 1783.  (Incidentally, American pronunciation is closer to what Shakespeare used than British pronunciation.)

Hey.  You do know that the English language more or less originated on this island you know, so by rights anything we Brits (especially the English) do with it is not construed as "mucking it up", ok?  Besides, it's the Americas who've been mucking up the language you'll find.  Spelling colour without a "u"?  Utter sacrilege!  How dare you people on the other side of the Atlantic think that you can tell us what to do with our* language!  It's just not cricket! 

*And I am referring to the people of Britain, England especially, here.

Well, prior to Johnson and Webster, both -or and -our could be found, so that divide is mainly due to their personal preferences.  As for cricket, judging by where the money is at, that's an Indian game these days instead of English.

(And since I have a new sig since this started, someone go ahead and comment on it.)

Insightful and amusing cartoons.

Not candidates I would endorse.

Nice painting, even though W. inclusion is a real embarassment.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Not sure what that means.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Why?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Dole was self-admittedly limp in the fruit department while Clinton always did have an eye out for a sexy Chiquita to share a banana with if you know what I mean.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Meh on the cartoon, and go Hungary for the World Cup!

Their bulges aren't impressive.

Their bulges aren't impressive.

[The Mikado]

If TR's there, were are Taft, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover?  Otherwise, a fine portrait.
