Well, also after YouTube there shouldn't be a comma, just an or.
Ooh, and you've used realize instead of realise. But that might have been on purpose.

I will of course deny there was ever a comma there, if it goes to court.

It was. I figured Americans would be the main target if it ever was widely disseminated.
Hee!

Ah, I suspected that!
Quote: Kevin Murphy @ August 23 2009, 12:44 AM BSTShit, you're right. Thanks.
Anyone spotted any other spelling or grammatical errors in there?
(It is somewhat important).
You've gone all American and misspelled 'realised'.
Also, that closing line is a bit shit: "you may now return to whatever you're doing". We know it means "you were", but after explaining that "you're" is "you are", it really doesn't work.

Are you refusing to educate them?

Should there not be a hyphen in "pig ignorant?" Or is that an ironic omission?
I enjoyed the nature of this Kevin.
Somehow, I feel the message will be lost on those it is aimed at, but hey, the sender will feel good.
Actually, this could kick-start a whole raft of generic responses!
Very funny indeed and I expect to see this popping up all over the internet.
But as the owner of the largest gay farm in the South East, the term "your gay" is indeed accurate to my profession.
Quote: Lee Henman @ August 23 2009, 3:26 AM BSTShould there not be a hyphen in "pig ignorant?".
My feeling is that if I wrote "pig-ignorant wanker" a hyphen would be required, as I'm making an adjective out of a noun and an adjective, but in just saying "pig ignorant" the word "pig" is the adjective so no hyphen is required.
I may well be wrong.
A mate just sent me a link to Josie Long's characteristically upbeat take on the same thing.

Good one Kev, proves true wit and sophistication come from T'north, whence I also dwell, all the best

Not a waste of money, though I find it's better to completely ignore abusive trolls, unless I find them amusing or curable.

I don't think you're using "whence" properly.
Brilliant, a triumph for us grammar fascists! Those bullies won't sneer at me now when I point out it should be, "I'm going to smash YOUR face in."
