Well, I'll be danked! Here you are replying to your own post. Shakes head at
how seriously the over employed professionals take themselves.

Had he been posing as another person you'd have a point,
but since he didn't, you don't. This competence thing
really is getting to you.

You think it was really that, or was it just that another one went
over his head?

As far as you could tell.

Do you recall a study conducted four or five years ago that found that
incompetent people are largely unaware of their incompetence, and in
fact significantly overestimate their competence?

Just wondering.

I bet you spend a whole lot of time "just wondering".

WHOOSH, again!

Ever heard of the
word "which"? Boy-oh-boy,writing the likes of "that found that", and
you
teach formal writing?

Oh, my. This is NOT going to be pretty. Brace yourself, Barbara.
Sandra Dee Winsor is fixin' to lecture us on the difference between
restrictive and non-restrictive clauses.

Nope, I'd have to look that up in some old texts

Why? Most people who know enough about syntax to advise others don't
have to look it up.

That's a gross generalisation if I ever heard one. "Most people" go by
their ear and aren't trained professionals using their craft daily. You
both make questionable stylistic choices at times and have your share of
solicisms and typos.

You're just making this all up as you go along, aren't you?

Since I'm new to Kevie's wormhole to alt.religion.kibology, I'm like anybody
else meeting new and hostile people.


I would have more precisely wrote those people
"significantly overestimate their" own "competence if I was trying to
fill
the overstuffed persona you are.

Would you have also figured out how to use quotation marks correctly?

I think the point is readable and not clumsy like "that found that".

AHAHAHAHA! Best laugh so far in this thread.

Always happy to entertain.

I hope you can dance better than you can read. You have no sense of
prose rhythm whatsoever.

I read quite well.

Maybe your problem is that you read line by line, and the line break
imposed by his newsreader threw you off.

Yet technical writers always make sense, right?

I think you mean "Do you really think I didn't have Googled you up."

You're both children's egos in adult minds.

Why, thanks!

No doubt Dee knows a lot about being "different."

Setting aside your mildly disturbing habit of making up nonsensical
phrase such as "over employed," I'm wondering if you are going to
continue to sidestep the question.

PS: It's okay to say that you just don't know. Trust me when I say
that no one here will think any less of you.

I didn't crosspost to your domain.

You really, really should stop using words if you don't know what they
mean. You look foolish when you do.

That's Kevie's idea of a joke on the dumb.

Oh, don't be so hard on yourself. When it comes to mocking and
taunting those in need of mocking and taunting, I'm an
equal-opportunity employer. I don't stop at dumb, though I have to
admit that the category to which you've assigned yourself offers
little challenge.

Oh well, it was nice playing with the superior people here, but I got some
stuff to do further down the food chain so I gotta go now.
