Hip, hip, hooray! Reading this thread makes me feel gypped. I wish all my sayings could simply be grandfathered in. But everyone keeps saying No Can Do. Let’s just call a spade a spade instead of selling posters down the river.
When my oldest daughter was in high school, she worked as a steak house waitress. A coworker shoved her so hard one night that she broke every glass on the tray that she was carrying and ended up in the floor. She decided to call the police, and the police told her that just being shoved did not equal assault. So, my logically minded daughter asked the officer if she shoved him, would that be assault on an officer. So, he arrested my daughter for threatening assault.Unfortunately it's not just armchair warriors. When it's reached the point where 7 police officers forcefully arrest a crying 16 year old autistic girl for a "hate crime" because she made an offhand remark saying that one of the female officers looked like her "lesbian nana", you know we've reached a dangerous point of total batshit crazy insanity in the western world.

This is why it irks me to no end when someone takes apart someone else's sentences and makes them into something else that makes themself look like a victim. Actually, it pisses me off. It is wrong on so many levels, and it happens frequently on here.
We got witnesses at the restaurant to back my daughter's story and the cop let her go. But, it still makes me angry to think about it.
Think about what the person is actually saying before you get butthurt.

It's simply a quote, delivered by a female who was my wife, who was describing her behavior toward me during our marriage, which consisted largely of her constantly correcting me, so also a direct tie-in to the topic. So no not nonsense, actually germane, as is yours in an ironic sense, though patronizing in your defense of the "little wimens" as well as dismissive.
Are you also a swami, able to read my mind and intent? Because, that part of your response is nonsense, but more indicative of your prejudices than anything else. Please don't project your crap onto me.
And comical considering the irony of the misspelling of the word misogyny being in this thread.
As a moderator on this forum, I don't point errors out when I see them in the body of the post, unless the main drift of a thread is grammar.
Could you explain further? Or give an example? Maybe I am just thick at this time of day, but I don't understand.
If the topic of a thread is about grammar usage and the body of the main post is full of grammatical errors, that would be ironic in the sense that the topic and body would contradict itself.
My wife does most of the irony in our house, but none of the ironing.
I am harassed and tortured psychologically, by the Google translator. I think my fellow forum members think I am a specter back in time. Some kind of a doughnut machine from the 30's that makes rusty squeaking sounds. 
I ALWAYS enjoy your posts. I totally understand, and when I used to be on the French pipe smokers forum, I imagine I sounded the same way to them, ha ha.

But as Hayden Fry said back in the day, “The sun doesn’t shine on the same dog’s rump every day.” I’m enjoying a “high porch picnic” right now, lol.
I know I'm a piper with over 20 years of competition piping both in solo and band competition. But, I'm also a smoker. So tell me about your bagpipes experience.
Be careful, if you get too high, you might show up on radar.
Two years trying to learn the war pipes. More time required to learn than I was willing to invest. I have way too much admiration for successful pipers than to equate smoking, a simple task, to playing the pipes, any of the pipes. Smokers are simply that ... smokers no matter how they try to soften the image. Pipers serve a purpose, hate 'em or luv 'em, as they provide entertainment, background and, in many cases, pride. Smokers? Well, we just provide for ourselves in most cases. I added "in most cases" for those of you who can't handle the truth. 
I use to have this eBay customer in Germany many moons ago named Knut. The postal clerk at the time was a rather funny fellow with some edge and he'd always say real loud something like "oh, another package for that Knut!" I would chuckle but the othe people behind me were more annoyed about all my packages he needed to process to give a flying Knut.
