you still don't get the sheep per capita :crazy:

Huh? You got over 70 million sheep and 11.5 million men. That is akin to about 60 million sheep available to anyone else who wants to move to Australia and grab one. New Zealand has 2.25 million men and 30 million sheep. The odds are twice as good in Australia for someone to move to Australia and acquire a sheep.

Oh I understand sheep per capita as a metric. But its the wrong statistic to look at. Its like saying an ant is super strong because it can carry a 100 or 5,000 times its body weight to determine its strength. But ants are weak and you squash something insignificant and weak like an ant. But you refer to something being as strong as an ox for the total weight it can pull, not referring to the impressive weight it can putll, not a ratio of its body weight.


Australia, where men are men, and 70 million sheep are nervous.

So keep telling NZ how you think that dwarfs and ants are stronger than professional rugby league players because a power to weight ratio. Someone will listen to you. But until you find that someone, you have more than double the sheep population of New Zealand. Deal with it.

Maybe. Lets use the Oxford definition just in case.





I like many both defending Gayle and attacking Gayle are disappointed with the way Mel handled the situation.



Now? Now its too late for her to do anything about the interview awkwardness.

But she could ask her employer whether she can speak on her own behalf and question the reaction by Chappel and co, should she feel so minded. They may refuse her the right to do this and we would not find out for a while, however. But I doubt that they would deny her the right to do this, because she could slam them for any forced silence by them when she leaves their employ in the future.

I would like to hear her views in full on what she thinks the severity of what Gayle is, the public's reaction and what should be done moving forward. What she thinks she could have done better, if anything, how she would handle a similar situation in the future, and why something as lighthearted as a cricket sideline frivolity became so serious.


If guests and hosts are forbidden to flirt, the talk show celebrity interviews in the future are quite doomed.

Paragraphing.

We're going round in circles.



I have seen far more inappropriate situations handled far better by interviewers that made for good entertainment by all.

I question whether Channel 10 has the right person in Mel, doing the job. I am not convinced her personality suits sideline entertainment.

Punctuation.

Were you partying while contributing on the leagueunlimited forum? Is that your reason for poor grammar?

By the way - those three dots? Yeah - they're called an ellipsis, and it's primarily used in lieu of a word and/or words for dramatic effect.

But I wouldn't expect someone with internet access too f**king lazy and/or stupid to check which is the correct abbreviation for "it is" to know any better, so...

Actually, I think Ms Aussie Universe has demonstrated to Ms Mel McLaughlin a better way to have handled Gayle, when encountering much worse (if you're so minded to think that affectionate physical contact is worse than compliments of nice eyes and expressing hope for a drink).

I still maintain that Ms McLaughlin could have handled the Gayle situation far better and not let it get "awkward".

You need a full stop after " Ms", you drongo.

She should not have let a situation that she may have found awkward, to being more awkward. I've been through many suggestions on what she could have done, they're back about 5 pages, I'm happy to engage with them, but I'm not repeating them now.

But I further say that Mel should not have been so uncomfortable with a compliment from someone being interviewed. Gayle did exactly what the law of a free country allows him to do, compliment a pretty girl and invite her for a drink.

And before you bring up her workplace, I repeat, they're not co-workers at the same employer. He is not her boss. Asking someone out once and complimenting them is not sexual harassment.

Run-on sentence.

How much longer do I need to wait for my imminent destruction?

Not sure - how long is it going to take you to learn to read?

For that matter, how long is it going to take you to learn to write correctly?

I'll give you a little tip - pulling up someone for a perfectly-written post, citing grammar as the issue, and then proceeding to make several basic grammatical errors yourself...

Well, let's just say that the light is on, but there is clearly nobody home.

As an aside, your cheap theatrics and poor command of the English language fool nobody.

An ellipsis is a thing, not a plural.

Well as long as you have learnt the difference between got and get - I am quite happy.

"[P]erfectly-written" not well-written? 'Perfectly' looks like an adverb to me...

And who is the 'us' from "let's" that you're speaking on behalf of, or third party that you're communicating with, as it is obviously not a proposition that I would ever accept myself. Are you pregnant?

And what, pray tell, are my "cheap theatrics" and "poor command of the English language" attempting to fool people into?

Furthermore, what are my "cheap theatrics"?

Run-on sentence.

It is. But it is crystal clear and easy to read. The subject matter is the same in each clause - me and my suggestions. A comma exists between each independent clause that could exist as stand alone sentences, or been modified with conjunctions to form one sentence that is not a 'run-on', and there is the coordinating conjunction 'but' used in the last highlighted clause.

Paragraphing? Be more specific because those two sentences are fine as one paragraph.

As you have indicated in markups, I infer that you want the comma deleted, when actually there should be another comma preceding "..., in Mel, doing the job." But that may be a slip of you not using enough bold, like a typographical error of not including another comma. It may be better English yet to have written actively along the lines of "right person doing the job, in Mel", but I think its clearer to have Mel identified after "right person". Removing the commas leaves it open for any... well I'll just say that ommited comma ambiguity type humour will not necessarily be appreciated here by all.

So as an editor and proof reader - you're letting me down.

You're right that I am prone to error with "its" but its not because of any laziness on learning the rule. I follow the rule in formal writing that it is never good English to write "it's" in my all my writing. I am aware of the different meaning of "it's" and "its", but I do make typographical errors of possessive pronoun "its" instead of writing out "it is".

An imbecile on a spectrum of stupidy is between idiot (0-25 iq) and moron (51-70 iq). The worst proportion of being an imbecile on the scale would be an iq of 26, which is still more intelligent than an idiot who expresses himself in cliches, thinks "Ms" needs to be followed by a period, hyphenates adverbs ending in "ly" (while announcing the perfection of their writing in another post where the grammar led to this spat), writes in context to a second person as though he is possibly pregnant and as though an ellipsis is a plural. All this after contriving an ungrammatical "get" into a joke in place of "got". You're okay at proofreading in finding errors, but your written expression leaves more to be desired than perhaps you realise. I know mine isn't my strongest suit.

Actually, in that context 'those' and "they're" are correct, as Eelementry was pointing out the three dots. And in case you didn't know three dots is more than the singular of one dot, judging by the maths ability you've displayed so far I doubt you did know that.

He was explaining to you what those three dots meant, and don't even try to say you already knew what they were, otherwise you wouldn't have falsely corrected his original post.
