You are remarkably inept at making that diagnosis - please don't become a doctor.

There. I have now scatted in this thread, and it is currently possessed of a deplorable excess of soul.

Yes, you did (see first definition)

Scott was channeling Ella Fitzgerald. Although it does have that other meaning but that's not what he was going for.

I guess the thred feels happy. It simply wants to go for a walk. It's definitely not dead!

Nice, that.

I know you're going to complain about this, but that isn't a sonnet. Yes, alliteration is cool, but not when it's wrong. Unless I'm missing the other ten lines, along with the fixed rhyme scheme .

Aww. Alliterations are always appropriate.

Indeed, I inherently inferred it instantly.

The thread has left us a message, upon hearing of our worries about him.



He's just a creepy lost child, it seems. He wants to play.

It's art. It doesn't need to follow the correct rules of English. It's like the cup in the statue of Arthur Dent.

Mind you, if you really want to be pedantic, were you referring to the English or Italian form? They are quite different after all.

I'm surprised it took you so long though. The original went up days ago. You want me to change it, you come up with something more "correct" but still alliterative Mr Smarty Pants.

inferred is incorrect since you didn't derive a conclusion from facts. Your conclusion was about the facts (sonnets is incorrect)

You also didn't do it instantly. As I said before, this has been up for days.

Incorrect use of alliteration isn't cool Rob.

EDIT I'm not 100% convinced about inherently either but I'll let it pass this time.
