Tombody: Since coming to live in continental Europe, I've become the more aware of the interrogative – especially when negation is incorporated into it. And what would hardly occur to someone in The UK is a usage to dwell-on for me. Consequently, I've developed a theory about this: yet it wouldn't cover all the usages. However, I do go on learning. Now, in the comment you quoted, you didn't allow for space; but I did while making it – so as to complete no more than that line. I haven't studied the language to literature level, as you put it. Pouring over Dickens, Shakespeare, and all we're told is worthy, is soul-destroying for me. On the other hand, I am familiar with everyday expressions, regardless of your over-confident opinion
My "over-confident" opinion was speculation put in a way that would be as least offensive as possible to explain that I didn't think you were a native English speaker, however much you try to sound like one.
And the funniest thing about it all?
I'm not a native English speaker either!!! Some English lit has its merits. I enjoyed readin/studying some of it.
PS. Most English people don't use "whom" because they never know WHEN to use. And some foreign people "try to slot it in" as often as possible thinking it makes them sound well spoken

ColonelBogey: Are you advertising your credentials for your suitability to 27 year old's?
I turned down a Rottweiler just a few weeks ago when it started humping my leg so I know that I can attract unusual types.

EagleWoman: Someone mentioned you are English, or you dais you are English ...
The highlighted part is NOT a commun form of expression for an English person ... Italian, French, Spanish (or other) but NOT English.
An English person would have said either of the following
Does it not?
Doesn't it?
Donnit?
Innit?
You express yourself very well in a very exacting way which smacks of someone who has studied the language at literature level but still a little starchy as not been tainted by "picking up common every day expressions used daily"I could be wrong I was once!!!

It's obvious to me that you're not a native English speaker
And whether you believe I am is inconsequential to me
What is important is that some of the greatest grammarians of the language have observed it from abroad. But I can't recall any having come from Spain

Tombody: But I'm not responsible for your tediousness
It's you referring to the hound that's getting tedious.
But then it's what I've come to expect whenever you tun up on here and I interact with you.
You used to be a bit more original also.

cherrybrandy: i have no connection with Cherry Hinton,whatsoever..the choice of nickname was random..and my question was regarding your opening post,about how relevant would be your dating choice to your dates occupation..
sorry to say,but you put up a topic,which would be interesting to discuss,instead you try to wind up the posters and be slightly unpleasant..

This topic is neither about choice, on the limited occasions we have it, nor rudeness. It's to do with incongruity, irony, surprise – that kind of thing

On your last sentence: You are right, they were too busy writting poetry, putting it to music, playing it on their guitars and dancing to it.
PS. It's always more obvious to people who have studied languages and/or taught them, who is and who isn't ...
