          You would have a great point if the words I used weren't properly placed or suited for the post, but they were. I'm not trying to be conceited or condescending, but assaulting me for bringing up legitimate points, citing my style of typing as evidence of your claims, makes you look like the "spectacular dumbass".

          I've downloaded it, but whenever I try to run the program an error message pops up claiming that I do not have "NET Framework". I'm not savvy with this type of terminology. Do you know where I can find the program, or whether it even is a program? JKPolk do you know either?

              OHHHH I'M SORRY TRILLOBYITE, YOU REALLY DO KNOW YOUR ENGLISH, DON'T YOU? I didn't think I'd actually have to spell this out for you, but here I will lay it down:

              You can't "devote" something "towards" something else. You "devote" things "to" other things.

              "debase" is rooted in "base" as in "not genuine", not "base" as in "foundation", so "debase" doesn't mean "unseat" or "go off-topic", but rather "cheapen", which you obviously don't seem to comprehend properly.

              "thus" separates clauses, not phrases. Your usage of it is incorrect. Instead try "Instead, I've boosted its post count and thus boosted its viewings".

              "belligerent arduously claim" isn't even a well-formed noun phrase. Hell, even if you meant "arduously belligerent", that's a ridiculous turn of phrase, since "arduously" means "with great difficulty or laboriousness" and "belligerent" means "intended to wage or currently waging war" (though it is often used metaphorically). So, uh... your "claim" is laboriously warlike. RIGHT.

              Also note that your semicolon use is totally inappropriate and destroys any fluency that your sentence once possessed. Then again, your use of the conditional tense makes the whole thing stilted anyway.

              Good job using a dependent clause as a full sentence. You fail. Try taking the "not to mention that" off of the beginning. I seriously doubt you meant "evident" as "clearly visible", and were rather trying to say something such as "present" i.e. "existent". Then again, who knows? You make little enough sense anyway that I wouldn't be surprised.

              Thank you for awkwardly using a gerund phrase as a noun (viz. "swaying from the topic"). Use of the present progressive is horrible in this case, not to mention that you should have used "in" instead of "with". "lock requests" is an ambiguous noun conflation. "buttressing" does not mean "leveraging", no matter how hard you try to use it as such - it means "to support". You also need a duplicate (if dubious) "with" to attend "post" in order to compound the phrase with "and" in order to be most grammatically correct.

              I think anyone with a brain would realize that this topic is about the puzzle, not the website. The link to the website was provided to facilitate the retrieval of said puzzle. Furthermore, the website is not even technically "offering" the puzzle.

              I see! So you sound like a spectacular dumbass in real life as well! Excellent! Then again it's not that surprising, considering you can't even spell "trilobite".

              You lose! Good day, sir!

                  It's not supposed to be. "Belligerent" is being used as a noun (and "claim" as a verb), ergo, one who acts belligerently towards others. His use of "arduously" to modify "claim" is a little strange, but there isn't anything grammatically wrong with it, so I didn't nitpick that.

                      Debase, by dictionary definiton, means to lower the quality of, cheapen, or downright ruin over time. Someone claimed that I killed the thread, not just that it allegedly went off-topic, and to "kill" a thread is to lower its quality, and thus debase it.

                      While I did make a mistake, it would be grammatically proper if the sentence had read, "I've boosted its post count, and thus viewings, while staying on topic and not resorting to insults and flame war".

                      Arduously means requiring effort, and I did use effort to bring up debateable points. Belligerent refers to one who is hostile and does not necessarily refer to a nation at war. I was showing hostility toward the website's claims and thus was a belligerent. "A belligerent arduously claim" thus exhibits a proper usage of terms, with a noun, adverb, and verb in proper structure. The semicolon did not ruin the flow of the sentence whatsoever, I simply needed to add a comma after the word "now."

                      You are right in that I should not have created a sentence out of a dependent clause. I did intend evident to mean "clearly visible". Nevertheless, the meaning of the sentence was evident and if the message it carried actually confused you, then you lack interpreting skills.

                      You are very welcome for the awkward gerund phrase . A lock request is a common internet expression, and thus it did not need to conform to the same standard of writing in a term paper or school assignment. Buttress means to prop up, support, or reinforce, and the person in question was supporting the lock requests. Leveraging can mean to improve or enhance, and he wasn't enhancing nor improving lock requests.

                      Never did I imply that the topic of this thread was the website. Moreover, the use of the term "offering" contains an elemnt of personification and cannot be considered a true grammatical error. Even newspapers and erudite essays will use such phrases.

                      You lose! Good day, sir!
                      I know exactly what a trilobite is, and my screen name was derived from the inspiration the organism provided me. I purposelly added in the extra "l" and "y," and thus your attempts at claiming that I lack a basic knowledge of spelling is proved false. I have a wide variety of friends in real life and all appear content with my way of speaking, though with the disrespecting, obsessive, bitter attitude you portray in your post I am beginning to understand that you have chosen to displace your daily anger on me. There are also 4 points I feel I should bring up. First of all, I am having a load of fun replying to you and I am not taking any of your criticism seriously at all. Secondly, you have failed to address the actual points I was bringing up in my previous post and chose instead to focus on semantics and grammatical mistakes. Thirdly, in your previous post, you challenged my use of words, claiming that I did not know the meaning of them, but in this post focused primarily on grammatical errors; I replied to most of your attacks on word usage. Finally, I acknowledge that this entire post is filled with grammar mistakes. You wish to know why? Because this is the internet, and I honestly could not care less about my use or your use of grammar. If you reply to this post by citing grammatical errors again I'll simply ignore the post.

                      Edit: laughsitup2005, I will refrain from continuing this war even if flamingspinach makes a reply. You are right and I don't want to continue impeding this forum.

                          That was remarkably more intelligent than your last post. Good job. I admit I didn't see "belligerent" as a noun at all, whoops - guess I read it wrong, but that is a rather awkward construction. By leverage, I meant "bring to bear". I still don't see how "debase" can apply, but I guess as long as you know what you're saying (which I believe now that you took the time to address my rant), I'll accept it. "thus" still doesn't work that way - it cannot connect phrases, it must connect clauses. As for the rest, you've adequately explained your intent in using them, notwithstanding the sundry grammar errors which I suppose anyone makes at times. In any case your last post was far more coherent than the one which I picked apart, and as a result my respect for you as a poster in CT has risen above a threshold that would cause me to want to argue about grammar and style with you

                          Still, though, you must admit that "I was testing to see how long it would take until I would be exposed for the fraud that I am knowing absolutely nothing about dimensions that is relevent to the thread. Good job flamingspinach, t0rajir0u. lol" is not something that makes you credible or respectable in the least.

I admit I didn't see "belligerent" as a noun at all, whoops - guess I read it wrong, but that is a rather awkward construction. By leverage, I meant "bring to bear". I still don't see how "debase" can apply, but I guess as long as you know what you're saying (which I believe now that you took the time to address my rant), I'll accept it. "thus" still doesn't work that way - it cannot connect phrases, it must connect clauses. As for the rest, you've adequately explained your intent in using them, notwithstanding the sundry grammar errors which I suppose anyone makes at times. In any case your last post was far more coherent than the one which I picked apart, and as a result my respect for you as a poster in CT has risen above a threshold that would cause me to want to argue about grammar and style with you

                            Still, though, you must admit that "I was testing to see how long it would take until I would be exposed for the fraud that I am knowing absolutely nothing about dimensions that is relevent to the thread. Good job flamingspinach, t0rajir0u. lol" is not something that makes you credible or respectable in the least.
                            Whoa, uhm...thanks! It's a pleasure to meet you
                            I'm sorry about being an idiot back there, and I won't purposelly screw up a thread again.
