I understand the rules of capitalization and how it plays into words relating to the origins of languages (for the record, people saying "I speak English" is simply short for "I speak the English language", most people are simply ignorant to this fact).

However, I personally refute the very laws of grammar and mechanics when it comes to the opression that this dialect has placed upon us all. Is it right that we capitalize English as the rules of the language force us to do when speaking of a living, breathing entity? Is it right the it has encouraged us to place emphasis on it, when it should be content with being the very fabric of communicating its very existance?

Nay I say! No longer shall this cruel oppressor place us in shackles of large "E"'s and an emulation of being a physical object, whose very presence is manifested through its gargantuan form wading through sentences and paragraphs as if none of them existed. It is the mother language to many great and horrible things, yet it demands tribute via our shift keys in addition to the knowledge that we are completely reliant upon it? Then may it be damned!

Gecko, you accuse me of being overly protective of the mechanics of my language. How could you say something of this magnitude when I go to such efforts to cast off this textual monarchy? I have said it, and shall do so again, in an attempt to liberate your minds from this rut of oppression!

Viva La Revolucion De english!

I can think of absolutely no way to reply to this in either a witty, intellectual or informative manner.

"Viva La Revolucion De english!"
"Viva la revolución de inglés"

A) I was too lazy to use accented characters.
B) Improper capitalization was intentional, in an attempt to highlight the lower-case "english".
C) If I were to write "english" in spanish, it would detract from the whole joke.
D) How the hell can you manage a cognizant sentence in spanish when you cannot even type properly in English?

Pwnt, Counter-Pwnt.

Why? If somebody were too stupid to realise that inglés means English, they don't deserve to get the joke.

Because the entire post was about the use of the word "English" in the English language. How in the holy hell did this post devolve into the amount of drama that Jem usually stirred up back in the days of yore?

I never once stated that English ought to be your native language. I simply pointed out that the ways in which Garbage multilated the dialect he was using to post on this forum are akin to the speech patterns of a crack baby whose tongue was removed.

First of all, I think what you meant to say was "answering your own question without looking at your original reply", because what you just said was, "you copied another reply".

Secondly, I don't start drama, I cause it. He who cries first is the drama queen.

Third of all, I primarily just wanted an excuse to bash Jem.

Queen is a feminine word, which is intentual. Stereotypically speaking, females tend to be more emotional, and males tend to dislike being called female. Hence the reason queen is used.
