It's not gramaticall correct to say "It's really obvious this is", mainly because it's an imcomplete sentance but there is discomfort caused by repitition of the conjunctive 'is'.
More appropriate wording would be "This is really obvious" or "It's really obvious" as opposed to a combination of the two.
The second part of your statement can be found to be humourous (to anal english students like myself) because the only qualifying example is your own incorrect use of English. As far as I'm away the use of 'at' or 'to' would depend upon the placement of example within the statement.
We debate politics, we left our senses of humour at the door on the way in. Didn't you see the sign
"Please check your humour and sense of proportion here"
I would have thought you'd have noticed that no-one has either in this forum. If you want funny, post a jokes thread in anything goes.
Look up in the dictionary the words sardonic, sarcasm, satire and research the process of 'sending oneself up'.
If I were no fun at parties, then my friends wouldn't invite me to them. They don't happen very often anymore though, much to my dismay, as my friends are all at uni, and I am yet to depart.
Sorry mate, got carried away.
But technically in formal speach/communication/debate we should all be using standard english, just to attempt to preserve clarity. It doesn't do to slip into dialect, it's simply not cricket.
Do so, fairly or not, I find it difficult to take a person seriously when they cannot contruct a sentance with some competance at grammar or punctuation. Spelling I can forgive, so long as it's not to prolific.
(I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your use of the word 'worser' was simply a typo and not deliberate
Tell me you're joking! :banghead:
You should have said '100% worse' on the basis that 'worser' isn't a word.
I suggest you get lessons in them then. You're rubbish.
Did you look them up? And you still don't like the way I was sardonically sending myself up? Well I just don't know what to say to you...
There are plenty of people who think my written style is simply hilarious.
Now, you gonna answer my questions here ?
I am satisfied with my response.
Why? did you ask something different that I care about?
No, you think I know nothing, and refuse to accept a valid point of view. Honestly, you're like a kid with a favourite, and extremely annoying, toy, you just won't leave it alone.
As for me not leaving it alone? I'm just passing the time...
It's my point of view, based on my life experience with dozy ex-friends who are now in God only knows what ditch, despite my efforts to help them. You, and anyone else on this planet, have no right to judge whether my view is valid or not, even if you don't agree with it.
Go and get a new hobby.
Unless you actually like gangsters controlling parts of our inner cities?
[edit to add]
*maybe unrealistic is a better way of putting it
Shut up now. My view is as valid as anyone elses, you just don't like it. I know it's valid as people are able to abstain from drugs totally, or give them up once they've started. It happens, it's real, it's just not common.
Shut up. You have no idea what I have lived through, or why I have come to my conclusions.
Of course people can abstain and give up drugs (otherwise I'd be out of a job!), but to demand that no one ever takes drugs ever ever again ever for ever after, amen is just plain daft.
You can do whatever the hell you want so long as you learn to drop the subject.
But I do believe that if you ask anyone working with drug users, they'll tell you that you are being unrealistic.
