Ima Rang Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think forum trolls are highly under appreciated. If forum trolls are as unpopular and unwanted as expressed, why are the troll posts among the most popular and responded to on forums all over the interwebs? Playing devils advocate is sometimes just that and not an instance of trolling. Posters of fragile sensitivity who can not cope with an opinion that does not match their own will always scream troll whether one exists or not.

This business about "I could care less" has long been one of my pet peeves. Thank you for sharing this very crucial information! Feel free to send me fan mail! :smileyvery-happy: In all honestly, i'm not one to complain about different uses and language and fully accept that its just a natural progression for others to use the English language differently. I don't take great issue with 'Americanisms' despite having some fun banter with people who 'get' that it's just fun banter, like the lovely Janelle. However, 'i could care less' is one of the few examples that really does get under my skin a little, simply because it makes no logical sense as a means of expressing how much one couldn't care! :smileyhappy: Having made quite a few American friends over the years, I've gotten more used to it though. When I first heard it, it made me want to scream and I went on a rant about how illogical it was! Now I get by with just a sigh and a shake of the head! :smileytongue: ETA: Having said that, I am quite fascinated by the use of language and do enjoy a wee debate about it. It's not always an easy subject to debate on places like the forums though as people can be both easily offended and\or choose to use it as an excuse to directly attack other people's language and grammar.

I found myself wandering around the house chanting: Aluuuu minuminuminuminuminum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum minum I began to understand the plight of the dormouse at the mad tea party.
