I meant in English.
Your second language, after Imbecile.
still coming up quite empty on the proof end of that position, aye?
let alone the argument end.

They're not nouns in Standard English. Maybe in Anchorman-Bimbette.

and just what is your source guide for what constitutes "Standard
English".

My own knowledge.

which, in your utterly bizarre SILENT crusade to "save the English
language" you refuse to share.

quite the brilliant crusade strategy you have going there, huh?

....

of course, otoh, it just could be that you're simply wrong.

that certainly would fit all of the facts of this "debate" much
better.


"Alan is experiencing a serious down"


obviously not the dictionary.

When did you learn to use the dictionary?

second grade?

maybe earlier.



nor common usage.

Precisely. Common usage is often not Standard English.

well, i didn't say it necessarily was, did i?


Because lots of people speak your sort of imbecile patois.

one wonders why you would have so much trouble arguing with an
imbecile.

anyway...

so again, i ask you for a reference which shows that "up" is NEVER a
noun.

(using "Standard English")

you say it only exists that way in your so-called "knowledge"?

i sure hope you can see the problem with that mode of "thinkins".


so do tell.
or is your little "maybe" supposed to serve as some sort of esoteric
reference-impairment technique for the unattainable elite.
Standard English, my ass.

I'm sure you find it just as difficult to grasp.


i don't find any concept difficult to grasp, Alan.

QED

but you sure do.

yikes.

beta-pay comes immediately to mind.

not to mention the fact that some nouns have opposites.

"so, at the next intersection, should i take a right or a left?"


like, duh.
