Pompous, Pretentious or Pedantic.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

If you're going to reply, you've got to reply in one of those three styles.

It's a beautiful day for a walk.

[GOPisEvil]

1. I am above posting to this thread.

I will not dignify it with my presence.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. But, you just did.

[dolo amber]

12. I despair at your lack of manners, SLB

Pointing out ones obvious yet inconsequential mistake in a public arena is so very vulgar and boorish...*tsk*

[Screaming Lord Byron]

14. I would never stoop so low. Never.

Even though I know so much on the subject. So much!

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. He learned it from you, D.

He learned it by watching you!

[GOPisEvil]

16. I'll have no more of your lies, knave!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. Avast, Sirrah! Ye pompy brute!

[terrya]

2. To stroll down the boulevard on such a fine day is sublime.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. Actually, it's not a boulevard

Boulevards, according to Webster's, are broad and tree-lined. This is neither.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. Oooh, Screaming Lord Byron...

...I just can't get enough of your silky hair and your come-hither eyes. How old did you say you were again? No, I don't believe that for a second. You just look far too soft and pretty. Do you want a back rub?

You did say "pederastic," right?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. No, and very soon someone will be saying 'probationary sentence'

[kimchi]

6. Indeed, it is a beautiful day to walk around

my estate! So absorbed was I in the beauty that I didn't even think to question the gardner washing his Mercedes when he should be working!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Actually posting in this thread will not necessarily exhibit the styles

you've chosen. The forum doesn't provide a wide enough scope to cover your topics thoroughly. The best way to do this would be to offer some rules and conditions with which to proceed, such as pararaphs of equal word length deliniating the different aspects said styles represent. Thus a true "compare and contrast" setting will be manifest.

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. Only *you* would say something like that.

One would think you would have grown up by now.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. Actually the correct use of the asterisk is for the purposes of citing, as

a bibliography. Apostrophes would better serve the function you seek to employ.

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Perhaps, were I not speaking an Indo-European language.

Dolt.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. A virtuoso performance, maestro. Bravo!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Actually that is the correct response for a musical performance not for

a critique of the venue for vetting the differences between these different styles of asshol-ity. The correct exultation would be "well said" or "succinct and correct, sir"

[Blue-Jay]

10. I should not dignify this thread with a response.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. Actually the thread inherently is void of dignity as it is merely a string

of 1's and 0's pieced together in a way which represents the keystrokes generated by the posters therein. The dignity lies with the thread originator - or the lack of said dignity, respective to your personal tastes.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

21. Perhaps you do not have the wit to see my immaculate design?

So difficult for one's social inferiors to accomodate the designs of genius.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. actually I imply no judgement with my instructions on the appllication of

correct usage of the English language to discribe the thoughts and ideas of the posters to your thread. Your attempt to emotionally belittle me is a futile one in that I, as a sentient and thorough mind, cannot be brushed aside with a display of childlike braggadochio.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

25. Then this uncalled-for imbroglio has reached a veritable impasse.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

28. Actually you are correct.

As am I

[slappypan]

22. I suppose this thread is acceptable.

A bit naive in its execution, but not bad, really, for the work of an amateur.

(Oh, wait. That's "condescending." Sorry.)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

23. The dart has flown close enough to the veritable bullseye.

Your commentary is passable.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

27. Actually, when one takes into account the post count of the originator

of the thread in question one can surmise, correctly, that this thread is, in fact, the work of a long-time thread originator. One can also conclude, once again quite correctly, that it is the work of a man who has not left the confines of his homeor office for quite some span of time.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

30. My vocation is less than taxing, therefore I sharpen my intellectual

abilities in this unruly bearpit.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. The same situation applies to myself.

I find my myriad talents and expansive warehouse of trivial information is squandered in the employ of the company in which I am employed.

[slappypan]

32. Yes, I suppose it might seem that way

to someone with a superficial understanding of the subject.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. Actually a very slight understanding of the subject is required as access

to the thread originator's profile is readily available to even the lurking troll.

[Swede]

26. Pffft!

[jobycom]

29. Define beautiful. nt.

[TrogL]

31. Technically, it's not day

...at least over 50% of the planet or even longer for those considering "day" to contain "daylight" such as denizens of the South Pole, which is probably in total darkness 24/7 right at the moment.

You do not "got" to reply in any form. A more proper usage would be "you should reply in one of these styles" and list the styles in the context of the post so that if the subject has scrolled beyond the top of the page, they are still visible.

"a walk" is passive and considered bad form. "walking" would be best, as "to be walking" is also passive.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

36. Your riposte raises some perplexing conceits.

I shall ponder with great interest your contributions to this modest dialogue.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. Actually-the correct form would be "you must reply in one of these styles"

as the originator of the thread meant to exclude those who chose not to do so from participation therein.

[TrogL]

34. What would you know about...

beauty or walking. You hardly qualify.

(I'm trying for pompous, but probably accomplishing arrogant - hardly a new accusation).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

37. My perambulatory achievements are legend!

My knowledge of pulchritude and comeliness equally renowned.

[TrogL]

42. Incoherent, inscrutible or irrascible

actually, that's worth its own thread

[Screaming Lord Byron]

43. Yes! Toss it into the literadelic smorgasbord that some call The Lounge!

[Donkeyboy75]

39. The fruit called 'orange' is so named because it is the color orange.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

41. The fruit called orange is, in fact part of the larger citrus family, many

subsets which are quite similar in makeup. The tangerani, mandarine orange and blood orange are examples of said subsets

[Donkeyboy75]

40. Well, the fun can now begin now that I am posting in this forum.

But, my skills are such that nobody can guess which of the three Ps I use as my posting vehicle. I am quite clever.

[TXlib]

44. Yes, I am all three, and it's because I am genuinely better than you.
