I've always thought a day date with another language would be cool. We are talking about watches... right?

Defiancekofb · 19 August 2008, 07:34 AM

For those who don't get the question.

Clue - in response to the recent criticisms about spelling and grammar on this forum.

It ain't so much my spelling as my inability to proof read.

In today’s world/society I hear and sometimes use both forms (proper and improper). The choice of using a colorful metaphor or refraining from such usage would depend upon whom I am speaking to. A cheeky common (or here in the U.S.A. a thug) receives the foul gutter talk which is what they are worth, that is what they understand, and that is what they get. A gentleman would never hear a foul word depart from my earthly lips due to the fact their behavior did not merit such.

As for this site I don't care what people say or use in terms of language. We are all adults here if someone types a colorful metaphor so what? We have all read and said these words before.
