Hundreds of companies pay obscene amounts of money every month to have the privelege of hearing, using, and selling the words that I speak. Many more have paid to have me author articles for them. I've written guest pieces years ago for Newsweek, and the New York Times.

When you show me any of these posters ... who have similar credentials ... then, and only then will I stop pointing out that it's an ignorant phrase!

That Time of the Month Again, Porfi?

I should hope not! He gets paid better, but I am on more stations. Whoever said I was wealthy? Certainly not me. I only spend about $120K a year here. If that seems like a lot to you, well, I feel sorry for you.

By the way, what I said was "vacca foeda".

And you still haven't ever bothered to answer the original question. I realize you really don't have an answer, but do you really think bursting a vein in your forehead will keep anyone reading what you're vomiting up on the screen here from realizing that?

Fac et vivas.

Tom aka XR A tough guy told me 'I'll bet you $10 you're dead.' I was afraid to bet him.

XR,

I think I speak for most when I say that we appreciate that you limit yourself to only a few threads at a time.

Your generally sneering and obnoxious attitude mixed with a smidgeon of prep school pedantics (torturing us on Latin, nonetheless, like a scene from "Monty Python" or "If", except more pathetic because of your lack of position of esteem or authority) do nothing to add to discussions.

Though it appears you have a brain, you usually drown it out with your piss and vinegar personality.

BTW, your question has been asked and answered. But be sure to keep on asking it anyway - it keeps the thread going and, most importantly, allows you to keep on acting like a pedantic twit.

You really must tell us which bording school you attended - including the details on what the older boys did to you to make you like this.

Really? In most discussions here you aren't even able to reasonably express your own opinions. And you are now speaking for most everyone else? Thanks for the smile. You actually make me laugh!

You really need to relax. Mad at anyone and everyone else here who is independent, happy, and enjoying their life. Just because there are other folks here who are happy with their own life, and confortable in their own skins, and you're obviously not, you should not take that as an personal insult.

What a small little person you are, and how horrible to have such a small little world to wander around in.

Pib? I was trying to be nice! Cleanup on aisle three!

Tom aka XR I broke my arm folding a bed. It wasn't the kind that folds.

P.S.
Calling the Dominican Republic "The Dominican" in English is still stupid.

You were "trying to be nice". P-leeze! How is pulling gems like "stupid cow" out of your bag of tricks being nice, missy?

Do you really want me to go back through the thread and quote every other example of you "trying to be nice"?

As always, XR, you made the bed.

You are now fully exposed. It is indeed a good time to run for help to the moderator.

Oh yea, just like you, I need to throw a line into the vat of piss to keep the post on topic. Um. Um. Okay. It is too okay to say "The Dominican" and anyone who disagrees with that is stupid and/or hasn't read my posts and/or can't match my wealth, sophistication and intelligence.

I only let Alba expose me. You're not my type. But thanks for the offer, anyway, I guess. LOL. I am sorry for you if my background intimidates and offends you. So while I am flattered by the attention, you really need to get over it.

Tom aka XR 'Listen' uses the same letters of the alphabet as 'silent'.

Can i receive any of the channels showcasing your talents on my Grundig shortwave or do I have to dig out my X-Ray Scattering Halo Chandra tuned to QSO1508+5714 (z=4.30)?

Kirk, Spock, Sulu and even Uhura couldnt help.

Short wave I don't think so. I know a handful of the affiliates are on the web, but I haven't kept track of that in a long time. And since it's :30 or :60 weathercasts not a three hour show you have to listen for awhile and wait for the stations play weather. Every one of them has a different schedule.

If you really want to hear some just PM and I will try and dig up a few that are doing web broadcasts for you.

Tom aka XR The DR1 Family is like fudge. Mostly sweet with a few nuts.

Never Assume Porfio! Good chance there was extraterrestrials involved. Visits may be ongoing. Monitor posts to confirm.

XR is correct. The term is not being used properly. I find it offensive that some people continue to use it even after they are corrected. If I am referring to another country incorrectly and someone points it out to me, I would start to use the term properly. The fact that many people are using it does not make it proper.

If people continue to use it, that to me shows plain arrogance and ignorance.

I find the term offensive; if someone is going to refer to my country, use the name properly.

Porfi????

How many hours a day do you stand infront of your mirror while listening to yourself spout into your tape recorder????

Egotistical meanderings are but a river of disallusionary dreams.

Texas,

It's so unlike you to get personal. Defensive about your own short term memory lapses, maybe, but not personal.

Looks like I tripped a nerve in the old Yanqui tag-team.

To have read this thread and decided that I alone am the egotist makes your bias more than obvious.

Do you realize how in need of psychiatric help you sound? How sad! You've lost every shred of what little credibility you've ever had here with these shrill, nonsensical, jealous, psychotic outbursts over the last few days. You and your vegetable friend have called me everything from sadistic to masochiostic to enjoying sex with pr*cks like you. And now you jump on Bill, among others, for having the audacity to notice this? And all over the term, "The Dominican?"

What exactly is the root cause of the chemical imbalance in your brain? Take a chill pill dude! Serioulsy!

Tom aka XR Four out of five people think the fifth is an idiot.

You're right (though I deleted the houseboy part prior to your post), though I find your smug, arrogant, pedantic, narcissistic attitude grinding, and get unnecessarily upset after watching you ruin one thread after another with your personal attacks, it is not worth stooping to your level in this forum any more - especially since, as is readily apparent, you actually get some kind of sick perverted amusement from getting under people's skin, and because, I will grant you, I appear to be the only one willing to challenge you.

I have learned a lot from this thread. No, not about linquistics - you killed that pleasure a long time ago when you began belittling anyone who disagreed with you. Rather, I have re-learned how an on-line community can be like a schoolyard. There are bullies, hangers-onners and the great masses who just hope to get to class without getting pounced upon (but who pass notes to each other about how much they hate the bullies and hope that someone else will fight their battles).

WOW!! I can't believe this thread has survived. Where is Pib?

What this thread has taught me:

1) Some people accept that language evolves.
2) Some people are annoyed that language evolves. A subset of these people are militantly opposed to change.
3) Some people fail to understand that as a language evolves, by definition, the incipient changes are non-conformist.
4) XR writes weather reports for a living....and therefore he has a higher IQ, has higher SAT scores, is better educated, and has more money than the rest of us.....NOT!
5) Most people who use the term "The Dominican" know that it is being used improperly.

BTW... I don't like the term "The Dominican". I like correct grammar. Once its usage becomes accepted, it will no longer bother me.

A challenge

I think you guys will keep typing at each other until the this thread is violently closed too. So, I challenge XR, Texas, and Porfio to NOT have their personal post fight on this thread and lets see how long it stays open - this only if someone else outside of you guys wants to discuss using the term 'The Dominican' - Good Luck!

How can other people even try to post if XR Almighty will come to tell you word by word how wrong you are. :glasses:
