What is Hambre's passion? Even a Google search didn't find anything on that.

I write the way I talk, so if you don't like it you can {bleep} off. I have been (often) accused of doing the same thing. People tell me my biggest problem is random insertion of commas, "()" and "-". They're not random - those are vocal effects (pauses, etc, exactly the way I use them when speaking). Just 'cause it's totally inappropriate when writing doesn't make it wrong .

What is Hambre's passion? Mike's referring to Mr. Hambre, and old poster with whom I had kind of a Tupac/Biggie smack talk thing going. He's Biggie.

a Tupac/Biggie Thanks to a friend of mine staying at a hotel last week, I don't have to ask a second question. Two weeks ago, I'd have had no idea what in the world a Tupac/Biggie thing could possibly be. My friend watched a documentary on them at the hotel, though, and he told me all about it. Yikes.

Yeah - Dan and Hambre were like a pair of atheists who bounced off each other. Dan was like Hambre's deatheater. Together they tried in vain to topple God's lawyer, more commonly known as mike the wiz.
They tried and tried to refute the irrefutable one, but left town as less-of-a-chance deludants. Final score: mike - 3, 000 -------- Dan and Hambre -- 01. I think that was the final score, I'll have to ask mike though.

See, I see conversations here as real conversations. Sometimes I see people try too hard to crank out the perfect english paper when talking about something like their toenails.
When I write stuff on here, I actually say the words out in my mind, and sometimes I even say them out loud, so yes I do insert stuff like commas and dashes where I would normally pause or link up the words. On the other hand, I will seek out and destroy all those who write in ebonics. I highly doubt people talk like that in the 3-D world. AKA G.A.S.B.Y. George Absolutely Stupid Bush the Younger

One sentence paragraphs are great (I use them all the time!) until they become run-on sentences that never ever seem to stop suggesting that the writer had a whole jumble of ideas coming to him at once and he didn't know what to do with them but to express them in a single thought but then it just doesn't make any sense to the reader and the sentence becomes annoying to read and the whole original point is lost because now the reader will have to either go back and pay more attention to each word or just pretend it never happened and go on with his life and soon the writer is disappointed because nobody responded to his thoughts which he thought was completely coherent...

Does anyone have any thoughts on correlation between style and content?
I find that the decorated style seems to more often come with creationist content, for example. I wonder why. Sometimes, but thankfully not so often on this forum, expertise in grammar and spelling looks to be inversely proportional to enthusiasm for creationism.

Creationists in general are not about the details. More motivated by "the big picture" if you will.Those who delight in gramatical anality in general are all about the details. Ignore or disregaurd what people say to dwell on mechanics.

I write the way I talk, so if you don't like it you can {bleep} off. I tend to write the way I speak which is why I sometimes over-punctuate any given sentence. This is a bad habit of mine because if I throw an extra comma in the sentence, it may be grammatically incorrect, but I'm pausing briefly the way I would if you were sitting in front of me. This is also why I often use a proposition to start a sentence. Its a bad habit you're a writer. Good thing for me that I'm just a wanna-be-writer, otherwise, my editor would have, a nightmare, with, all of my, grammatical# errurs@ sea whut I meen% "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." -C.S. Lewis

Woodsy writes: Would anyone like to add to the list? McFallian This is a very unigue style that has no overlap with any other style. Of the 100 billion humans born since the Homo sapiens species emerged 200,000 years ago, there is only one instance of someone perfecting this style.
