When I worked for Singer-Librascope, there was a guy
obsessed with correcting other people's "linguistic
errors" but limited to only a few certain ones such as
"I couldn't care less".
He argued that the correct exression was "I could care
less". The first time, I tried to explain to him that it was
unlikely that he meant it but that it was possible and
that in that case it would be correct to mean that one
cares to whatever degree but that one could care less.
However, if one didn't care at all, (i.e. zero, zilch, nada),
then one could not possibly care less than none. Thus,
one would say "since I don't care at all, I couldn't care
any less".
He didn't get it and kept correcting everyone who said
"I couldn't care less". Obsessed idiot like you he was.
If you have more than one adjective before a noun,
they qualify the rest of the sequence from left to
right, just like using parantheses in math. Any proposed
correct order of adjectives by type is just bullshit. It all
depends on what you want to stress more.
Big (red, truck) and red (big, truck) are both correct but
disillusioned math phd idiots can't comprehend that.
What, his worse, his ilk who can comprehend that won't
dare take a position against him.
Anyway, I was getting tired of the game and deleted a
few of my posts in this thread but as I said before, you
are sick and can't just let go of it.
With that, perhaps I shouldn't have deleted them. It's a
dirty job but someone has to piss on the cute little figgit
sick puppy and his petty crook foggot daddy. Yet I can
only do so much before I run out of piss. So, you will
need to find someone else to piss on you. :( Sorry. ;)
