English Lessons With SSReporters

Posted by SSreporters
769 days ago


For those who read the post involving more Mariotti controversy between Kenrick Thomas and TB, I looked at Kenrick's comment, writing teachers weep everywhere. Let me give a lesson on this.

Jay Mariotti is the best sports columnist, so quite bashing him. Grow up, because your JayTheJoke website is "horrible." It's a shame your a grown men, because I expect this from a teenager. Jay doesn't even care about you so why waist your time. Your children probobly ask more better then you. Show some respect, and your not better then Maroitte. I don't care you make a website "dissing" me, because you can't even compete with me!!!

Yea this is Kenrick Thomas from Armchairgm. I wrote for newspapers, and I'm being recuited by many. So you build a website that will "diss" me, but you will never get on my level.... Keep leaving your little "stupid commets" on my blog, because it doesn't hurt me. Jay Mariotti is on ESPN and writes for Chicago Sun-Times, and your a "little" blogger. Your nothing I can't get a little kid to "crush" you, because your nothing but fake. If you want to read some real blogs check out my website at www.fanofsports.blogspot.com "maybe you will learn something."

Terrible eh? Let's review shall we?

1.so quite bashing him. Incorrect spelling of quit.

2.It's a shame your a grown men. Men is plural, a is singular. It's should be grown man.

3. Jay doesn't even care about you so why waist your time. Two mistakes in this one. First of all, it's waste not waist. Second of all, this is an interrogative sentence, therefore this sentence should end in a question mark.

4.Your children probobly ask more better then you. Incorrect spelling of probably and than. More better is grammatically incorrect, you can't put a comparative or superlative word after more.

5.Show some respect, and your not better then Maroitte. Can't spell Mariotti right. You're not better Kenrick (thanks to Kelsdad)

6.Yea this is Kenrick Thomas from Armchairgm. Maybe I'm being picky, but I'd go with yeah.

7.Keep leaving your little "stupid commets" on my blog. Comments Kenrick!

8.Jay Mariotti is on ESPN and writes for Chicago Sun-Times. There should be a “the” in front of Chicago Sun-Times.

9.Your nothing I can't get a little kid to "crush" you, because your nothing but fake. It should be you're in both instances. There also needs to be an a in front of fake.


If there are more mistakes that I haven't pointed out (besides the whole friggin argument), say so in the comments.

Seriosuly, I think that you guys must be slow or liars. My point was and always has been 100% against censorship. I believe that your derision of homosexuals is horrendous and I would hope that it would be rejected in the marketplace of ideas. I cannot be more clear that I fully support your right to say horrible, offensive things. What do you want from me? I think it is wrong to run around calling people "fags," kikes," "niggers," "chinks," etc. At the same time, I don't believe in censorship. Finally, as a privatly run website the owners and managers of this site have complete editorial control and can choose to censor whatever they wish without implicating the first amendment which only refers to government actions.

And here are my quotes:

"With all due respect, the First Amendment is not implicated here. As I reference in the other thread, I do believe that the spirit and rationale behind the amendment are implicated. However, the First Amendment refers to government action to supress speech. That is not implicated on a private commercial website."

"You know, the funny thing is that by posting the first amendment so large it just makes it more obvious that if you stopped to read the damn thing you would see that the first sentence says "CONGRESS shall make no law." Last I checked, it wasn't Congress that threatened to ban you for your homophobic slur, it was a single administrator of a private website, and after the threat, he backed down.

Yet you keep going on and on about how wronged you were and how you are a victim and the First Amendment is being trampled on and it is all a conspiracy to get you. Its rings kinda hollow to me. I love how the fact that I believe that people should take the time out to consider how their words can be offensive to other people means that I am some type of PC Police that is trying to control how you think, feel or write.

Go ahead, use as many slurs as you want. Have a field day. At the end of the day, that simply reflects on you."

"I started out this entire conversation by defending your rights. I didn't think you should be banned because I thought and still think that is the wrong way to handle things."

I find it fascinating that you chose to link that discussion as opposed to the one about banning TB in which I state that supressing speech is never the way to go about things at that speech should be combatted with counter-speech.

Yes, it is probably the worst grammar I have ever seen. I just don't see how making fun of this kid for his grammar is any different than, say, making fun of someones SAT scores or what college they attended. I know it has been said that you guys are trying to help him but I'm not buying that load of BS. Really, the whole post smacks of pretentiousness. I wasn't bothered by your locker room post because Kenrick "attacked" you. This post is just an unprovoked burn session.

The above (in italics) was actually written by Kenrick himself. He claims to have worked for newspapers. It sounds rather dubious. Your opinion is noted.

Kind of proof that this applies to many people.
Image:Dictionary.jpg This user will go out of his way to point out errors in spelling and grammar. It's not because he wants to be rude, but because he loves the language so much.

"He" is used for the sake of a pronoun. It equally applies to she.
