Do you ever wonder, when reading replies on here, what it must be like inside the head of the poster if they're happy with the garbled guff that ends up in print?

I have an image of a tumble dryer running with a half load in.

Oh come on, Douglas! You're not that bad....some of your replies are quite funny...... ;-)

'garbled guff' in YOUR opinion, not in theirs (or mine as the case may be) !

[sanmac]

The word for today is 'logorrhea'.

you need one of those McFluff paper towels in your machine, Doug, to stir things up, naturally.....

The 'garbled guff' posters (both askers and answerers) are, I'm sure, absolutely convinced that they have expressed themselves quite clearly. They know what they mean, and they wonder why readers of their guff can't seem to follow what they're on about.

// garbled guff that ends up in print? //
it is not printed he says with a teenage toss of his AB head ....

I wonder at the gormlessness of some of the one-liners coined at short notice, kinda hot off the anvil of madcap humour - "The Great War - wot dat den" made me gasp with disbelief. The idea that feigned ignorance of the Great War would be seen as amusing made me gasp a bit more
- the inability of some to cope with any foreign language. Ignorance is treated as a virtue ....

this answer isnt too varied is it?

o god yeah
I can write: in Aug 1945 the english and americans sent cossacks back to Stalin to die in gulags or be shot

and get ( or got a flood of 'foo what dat den?' hey fing den - and many other one-liners of that ilk. Some are side-splittingly funny such 'foo!' or o gawd!)

and yes I do think - what is difficult about
"in Aug 1945 the english and americans sent cossacks back to Stalin to die in gulags or be shot" - there is a date - there is a main verb, there is a subject and object ( victim) - and what's more it is true !
