Shaving terms I don't like

I don't know, I took it as tongue in cheek and kind of funny, considering the flowery prose it was in response to.  People get SO worked up.

I would agree if there wasn't such a distinct effort to correct my grammar already in this topic 2 previous times...wrongfully, I might add...

Fair enough, didn't see em.

It was quite a dark and stormy night indeed when the effete corps of impudent wet-shaving grammarians gathered in their respective subterranean shave dens in front of their glowing light-emitting diode displays to groove over their imaginary savoir-faire and gentlemanly behavior.

"Hmm!" mused one gentleman as he meticulously stirred and poked the steaming mound of Canis lupus familiaris excrement in front of him with the platinum tip of his custom-designed quill fashioned from the wing feather of an endangered Gymnogyps californianus. "Perchance, is that a hemp seed I see before mine eyes? Oh, great Cheech and mighty Chong, wherefore art thou?"

Since we are diving into the business of correcting each other:

There isn't really any true LED displays in the market: LED monitors are LCD displays with LED back-light.

Now the obligatory LOL and from a borderline millennial to make sure our 'Gentlemanly' elders can continue to show their disgust towards internet age in a , wait a minute, Internet forum.

All these correcting and the discussion about necessity of correction reminds me of a favorite movie of mine: "12 Angry Men"

I prefer to turn the phrase, "Picking fly crap out of pepper" to describe such astute observations and corrections around such minute transgressions as found within.

Seems a more fitting minuscular comparison to the grammatical errors you seem prone to attack. Mayhaps you could find it within your heart and soul to forgo the grammatical accusations of the untold future, and allow other, less intellectually biased individuals the freedom to express themselves without fear of the probing eyes, and vicious pen of such a wordsmith as yourself?

OK, you got a laugh from me. Anyone willing to google search the latin trinomial classifications of both the domestic dog and California Condor simply to enhance their post with superfluous descriptors deserves a laugh...

Um, am I the only one who thinks this great thread has derailed pretty badly?

And then the murders began."

    Context:  “And Then The Murders Began” refers to a series of tweets testing the theory that the first line of any story can be improved if its second sentence is changed to “And then the murders began.”

I hate it when people try to act like 19th century English gentlemen. Like when they use the words "gentlemanly" or "indeed" or any other term you wouldn't use during normal conversation. It comes off as pretentious.

It wasn't very gentlemanly of you to buy so many EJ razors without telling your wife.  Indeed I hope you don't give a sheet and continue to buy what you want.

Indeed!

Why do I have this image of Elmer Fudd swinging wildly as Bugs Bunny holds him off by the forehead while munching a carrot? I shot a man,once, in military service . He burst from a hatch with a knife and my 1911 took out his kneecap. Ever since then these testosterone filled displays of epic girlyman posturing are, well, fatiquing.
