If you're going to make a comment, make sure you understand the English language.

[If you're going to make an analogy, make sure it's a valid comparison.]

If you're going to make a comment, make sure you understand the English language.

You've retracted two of your hasty smartass remarks in this thread already, would you like to make it three?

Or shall I demonstrate that you have dishonestly left off the dictionary definition which encompasses the word as I was using it, and that I have hardly failed to understand the English language?

Your move.
