Nothing unnatural about getting annoyed by imbeciles.

Somebody suggested to me last night
that there's a finite amount of intelligence in the world...and the population's getting bigger.

Well that's a specious fucking thought isn't it?

Haitch can be correct and is taught in catholic schools.

My point was about the intelligence in the world.

Shall we go on stating the obvious?

Along with the concept of original sin and some nonsense about an imaginary being.

Yeah lets keep stating the obvious.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 10 Feb 2012, 11:13, Reply)

OK.
Catholics are not very enlightened individuals who are responsible for the suffering of thousands of children. By abusing them into saying Haitch.

Cos being Catholic is a sure sign that you know what's what.
As much as it pains me to say it, because it drives me fucking insane, apparenly 'haitch' is how it is said in some Irish dialects though.

It's still fucking wrong though. And schools do teach wrong things. I was one of many people taught that it is spelt 'Dilemna', even though no such word exists in any dictionary.

I am only really talking about how they teach English.
We know that they're not to be trusted.

Sorry. I was busy updating that and got sidetracked reading a BBC article about it.

Hold on, I just read you were taught "dilemna"?
WTF? Are you sure?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Fri 10 Feb 2012, 11:24, Reply)

Yup.
And I am very far from alone.

It's a common(ish) thing apparently. I spent ages reading up about it in disbelief just a few weeks ago when I discovered it was wrong.

Bollocks is it.
Did you go to school in Donegal or somewhere equally backward?

I went to a Catholic school and know full well that it is 'aitch'.

I reckon illegal immigrants have stolen all the intelligence along with the signal wire from the rail network.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 10 Feb 2012, 11:10, Reply)

and they've been stealing all the pot and putting thoughts in your head

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Fri 10 Feb 2012, 11:12, Reply)

the real problem ispeople thinking they have a bigger share of intelligence than they actually have
there are some peachy examples on the fail website, the guardian, the bbc... even on here. provincial little pricks who've never escaped their hometowns other than to scrape shit degrees from shit universities somehow think they are qualified to comment on world politics, economies, celebrity boob jobs... the arrogance and the self-delusion is literally mind-blowing.
