Does not the term "assault weapon" refer primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines, for example? That therefore does not exclude other guns, so you can still defend your house...

@TheCourtsOfLove A: I don't care at all, I'm just passing time in otherwise interesting conversations. B: It can be considered that the sentence begins with "@insertname", thus making a capital irrelevant. There is no rule of grammar for this. Also, you replied with exactly the same thing: "@xin wei Koh - cough at least I know English." Since when does a sentence start with a hyphen? For the full stop, I think we could agree that it's not much of a fault in itself now, is it? Probably about half the people in comments sections don't end their comments with a full stop. elcome, though I have my doubts that "thx" is correct English...

@TheCourtsOfLove Oh so sorry; just got back from having a life. Now where were we? Oh yes: grammar. Cambridge dictionary definition: "(the study or use of) the rules about how words change their form and combine with other words to make sentences" When I use the word grammar, it's because I'm talking about the username being at the beginning of the sentence. See? The interaction (or not) of words affecting the sentence structure, requiring punctuation (or not) in function of how the words are used. When I talked about the full stop, I used the word punctuation, did I not? The whole point of all that anyway was to draw your attention to your poor reply earlier on to @xin wei Koh : "- cough at least I know English". Lack of argument makes you resort to criticizing the English of someone who may well not have English as a first language. Who cares about a bit of punctuation and/or grammar when you understand perfectly the intention? That's the point. A shame, because up til then I agreed...

@shortymcshort1375 It makes me think of the Jim Jeffries sketch on gun control, where he says it's funny how all these people obsessed with protecting their family and home never seem to boast about their reinforced security doors. Just admit you like guns!

@shortymcshort1375 Same.... but I'm not so keen on his show as his standup. Any good Aussies to recommend? I grew up at the time of Paul Hogan (no great reference now, but at the time he seemed good!), but since then I don't know much in the way of Australian comics. I hear Daniel Muggleton's doing well though (if you get that reference, I tip my hat way down)!

@spacedinosaur8733 Nice quote! Not sure if it's true though....

I hope the journalist's life isn't as miserable as his face makes it seem...

Can someone explain to me why Americans think they're living in the greatest country in the world, and also why they're so obsessed with a two-way party system? Basically, you're either a republican... or a goddam democrat commie. Seems a little too over-simplified to me... Oh and don't bother with the "our wonderful constitution" stuff: we've all got one.

@missosologycoverage I don't think you can accuse the immigrant workers of not taking it seriously; they probably take it more seriously than anyone else, but don't have the luxury of being able to practice isolation or social distancing. Like in all poor places/regions/countries, they have no choice but to go out to work or they will simply starve. It's happening, and may well cause more deaths than the virus...

@TheCourtsOfLove " xin wei Koh xin wei Koh il y a 1 jour @Mithras 3851 you're dumb too " "Mithras 3851 Mithras 3851 il y a 23 heures @xin wei Koh - cough at least I know English. " What's wrong with his English? Did you think he'd write "your dumb to"? Seems perfect English to me... I agree about the second amendment though.

@TheCourtsOfLove Oh, just for the record, while I think of it: you don't put a capital letter on "glad" because it's inside the brackets and therefore included in the sentence. You don't put a full stop inside the brackets. You don't start a sentence by "and". Before giving others lectures about punctuation, try learning a little about it yourself. Have a nice day!

@TheCourtsOfLove Clearly, we have equal quantities of life... "You showed the evidence and no you didn't." Hmm... nope: you've got me there, I've got no idea what that means. "And since when did Americans care for other peoples culture?" I've got no idea who that should be addressed to, but I never mentioned that... "So the big tantrum paragraph you felt so desperately to write" Well, if you consider 15 lines to be a big paragraph, you've exceeded it yourself. You:"And you didn't use word punctuation no. " Me: "Before giving others lectures about punctuation, try learning a little about it yourself." "You've told me this was to draw my attention to my comment - so you admit I was right about grammar". No. You were right about punctuation. The grammar is debatable. "that you, the man-child that you are took too seriously" Strange, I thought it was you that came up with the A-B-C point by point comment? "but if you are going to make a statement to me it'd have to be good enough to be valid in grammar." Erm.... yeah right; that probably means something. "Thank you, Good day, Adios, Ciao." Why did you then add another comment 15 min later? Not that I'm complaining... just try at least to be consistent! :)
