  2. Please sign your posts. Sign with four tildes to record your username and timestamp. Sinebot is watching, you know.
  3. Respond to all messages at the place where the discussion began. Meaning, if I post a message on your talk page, respond to it there, and if you post on my talk page, I will respond to it here, unless you specify otherwise.
  4. Nonsense gladly accepted. I like receiving messages, and I promise not to bite. Even if you think your questions are trivial, they may not be, at least to me. :)
  5. Place all new messages at the bottom of the page. Clicking on the link below will do this automatically for you.
  6. My page is constantly being monitored by dedicated talk page stalkers. Some of them (I probably don't know them all) are The ed17, IceUnshattered, Juliancolton, Nutiketaiel, Sonia, and Little Mountain 5 off the top of my head. Most of the time they lurk in the dark, but some of them might respond to your comments before I do. Don't be alarmed though; they might provide you with better responses than I can.
  7. Email me if the matter is confidential. But please include the word "Wikipedia" in the e-mail title so that I won't inadvertently delete it or have my spam-eater destroy it.

template

[edit]

You don't need to keep sending me those templates I have you on my watchlist! Also I have school and lots of homework, especially when you're in the highest level in math and spelling! Also have you found a outer-space background for me yet?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Have a look at my sandbox 2. —La Pianista (TCS) 00:42, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't seem to work well with userboxes and other templates. I can't think of any way to overcome that though. Chamal talk work 11:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps he can put his userboxen on a separate page? We can probably add the same layout w/a different picture. —La Pianista (TCS) 19:05, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. Have a look, Chamal.
But I've got a problem; the bluelinks in the leftside chunk of text won't work. Help! —La Pianista (TCS) 02:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ummm put the text in a big version of a userbox...? I dunno... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 03:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

=p

[edit]

One out of two. I beat you to the vandalism on your user page one out of two times. Not bad, for someone using the old-fashioned Twinkle. :D :D :D :D note the FOUR smiles.Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 03:45, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Noted the four smilies before, thanx. :D :D :D
But don't you dare steal my fantastiqueTM...and don't steal the fantasticoTM either; my fantastiqueTM piano teach' coined that one. :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 03:47, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
K, good. =)
FINE. I won't, I promise. G'nite! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 04:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
G'nite...though this is the next night. :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 01:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Gee, you are a dork. :) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 01:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey now! Dorks don't take time out of their musically-filled busy days to give their friends kind-hearted advice (as if you forgot). :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 01:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MotD Thanks

[edit]
The Barnstar of Diligence
I hereby award this Barnstar to La Pianista for her continuing diligent and professional work on the Motto of the Day page, including her inciteful comments, clever suggestions and useful research. Keep up the good work! Nutiketaiel (talk) 19:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose technically I should be giving you the MotD award, but I don't really like it, so I figured this one fits too. Seriously, you're doing a great job over there. Incidentally, I really like your user page, too. If I weren't allready here to give you a Barnstar for something else, I'd give you one for having such a well designed userpage. In fact, I think I will. Nutiketaiel (talk) 19:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Excellent Userpage Award
I hereby award this Barnstar to La Pianista for her fantastic Userpage, especially with regards to the adoptee classroom segment. Userpages of this quality are something for the rest of us to aspire to. Nutiketaiel (talk) 19:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


There, I did it. 2 barnstars at once. Never done that before... I wonder if I'll get struck by lightning... Nutiketaiel (talk) 19:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my. Two barnstars in a row is a personal record for me, too. :D :D :D
Consequently:
*barnstar moved to Nutiketaiel's page*
Yes, it is a copypaste of the wording from yours...but that's only because I couldn't think of one any better. Besides, it seems as if you've been there for a much longer time than I have. :D
One question, though: what is the story behind your name? It is very unusual. —La Pianista (TCS) 00:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the Barnstar!  :-) "Nutiket" is a Leni Lenape word meaning "Guardian." I learned it when I was in the Order of the Arrow, a sub-sect of the Boy Scouts of America and loved the sound of it. The "Aiel" are a nation of people from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, my favorite books. I've been using the same handle in various online communities since I was a teenager; it has personal meaning for me, but is unusual enough that I have never found it to be taken by someone else. Most people just abbreviate it to "Nuti" when referring to me, though.  :-) Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

[edit]

I was blocked and left for dead. A good samaritan unblocked me. The wisdom of this unblocked has been proven with over a year of good edits since the unblock. Many administrators refuse to unblock. I am an example of the harm of refusing unblock. It is permanent loss of information from WP.

Hello! Chergles (talk) 20:19, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello to you too!
Gee, thanks for the info...but what does your message refer to? —La Pianista (TCS) 00:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You had a discussion with Ryulong. He wrongly blocked me indefinitely. It had to do with someone's legal threat. I said that accusations of legal threats should specify the lefal threat and quote the sentence. Ryulong said that any defense of that person means you are a sock. However, that was over a year ago. Chergles (talk) 00:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes. Although I do understand the grounds for his block, I agree that it was a bit too harsh and sudden. I'm glad that you (and her) were unblocked to continue editing.
BTW, what was the unblock for? (explanation came after edit conflict, thank you.) :) —La Pianista (TCS) 00:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help with userpage project

[edit]

{{helpme}} I am currently designing a userpage for one of our newest users, Spittlespat, who has asked me to do so. But I am having trouble with the bluelinks in the leftside body of text. I am not familiar with the coding - it is just a copy-paste of someone else's userspace.

It can be found in my alternative sandbox, User:La Pianista/sandbox 2. —La Pianista (TCS) 18:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look. roux ] [x] was prince of canada 18:11, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay.. what is the trouble you're having with the coding? roux ] [x] was prince of canada 18:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The bluelinks in the leftside block of text don't work. They are a nice shade of blue, but they don't go anywhere. —La Pianista (TCS) 18:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, give me a sec. roux ] [x] was prince of canada 18:32, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How weird.. the userboxes work fine, but not the text.. hmm... roux ] [x] was prince of canada 18:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried a bunch of things... it's beyond me, I'm sorry. roux ] [x] was prince of canada 18:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently you fixed it... right? Nothing seems wrong to me. ~ Bella Swan? 20:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Try to click on the pretty blue links on the left, Bella. :) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 20:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) I've found another weird thing - it works just fine in IE, but in FireFox, the links are still broken. —La Pianista (TCS) 20:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Must be a firefox thing. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 20:40, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much, TPH, but that doesn't help much. I'm keeping the helpme nulled, however, since it is obvious that no one has the slightest clue what the heck is going on. :) —La Pianista (TCS) 20:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(ecx2) Probably an overlapping <span> or <div> tag. I can't be bothered to look myself, but that's probably it. Dendodge|TalkContribs 20:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I made a small fix; but I dunno if that was really it. Does someone have firefox and can check? ~ Bella Swan? 21:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, doesn't work. Perhaps I'll have to make do with a little tag: This page looks best in IE7, which is a real first-timer. :) —La Pianista (TCS) 22:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In firefox, the links still don't work, and the userboxen are underneath the transparent thingy, so they look kind of shadowy. Chamal talk work 00:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wait, it lloks like the userboxen are also semi-transparent, and not underneath that thingy. Did you make it happen, or is something wrong with it? Doesn't look bad though, on second thought :) Chamal talk work 00:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was intentional. :) But I guess I'll leave it be - for now, I'll focus on figuring out how to put the navigation table at the top of that...and getting the subpages to match that motif.La Pianista (TCS) 00:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rebel Queen?

[edit]

I saw these edits and I wondered... do you know what happened? Usually someone should just get a warning for not editing, and just talking on Wikipedia, not their page deleted and the user blocked... ? ~ Bella Swan? 22:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I thought that, too. Then I posted a message at the blocking admin's page, here. His response can be found under that. —La Pianista (TCS) 22:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not really required to issue a warning before blocking, per WP:BLOCK though. Since she has been editing for a few months, I guess the admin expected her to know the policy by now. I agree that it was harsh, but when looking at her edit count of <100 mainspace edits and >350 userspace edits, I guess it would look like she was being disruptive to someone who hasn't met her before... Or is it just that I don't want to blame anyone? I don't know :) Chamal talk work 00:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps. Sometimes I fear you may be too nice, Chamal. :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 00:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, now that I'm reading this, I remember this happeneing on one other occation. It's a really ineffective rule, I think I'm gonna propose something to be changed about it. ~ Bella Swan? 21:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed...it seems to be a sort of controversial block Ryulong made. Maybe some sort of gentle warning for these sorts of situations would be appropriate? As Mango said on Ryuu's talkpage, she's been pretty productive. IceUnshattered [ t ] 00:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've started a conversation about it at the Help Desk, and hopefully we can find a way to fix this. The situation is this: Ruylong did nothing *specifically* wrong in blocking her, it was a quite bit harsh, but acceptable since there is no *exact* policy on the subject. This policy is somewhat applicable, but the problem is that it's vauge and open to interpertaion by the admin, so you can't outright say the admin was wrong in doing what he did. She is unblocked now and can come back, so I figured that we'll need to do something to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. The problem is, we can't figure out what. Feel free to contribute an ideas. ~ Bella Swan? 00:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Bella, for your pursuits. I've read the discussion and found it to be very enlightening. —La Pianista (TCS) 04:17, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ya wanna go Gnome-ing?

[edit]

...'cos if you want to go over USS Nevada (BB-36), that'd be amazing. :) I'm going to aim for a featured page appearance on December 7th, 'cos she was involved with the attack on Pearl Harbor...but this battleship is sorta obscure, so I want to make sure that the article is perfect before saying "Hey, I'm nominating this article that only a few people will care about"... =/ Thanks Pianista!!! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, you even have a template for the USS's? Cooooool.
Anyway -  Doing...La Pianista (TCS) 03:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
:D Yep, that we do. A lot better than typing [[USS Nevada (BB-36)|USS ''Nevada'' (BB-36)]] all the time. =) And thank you very much!!!! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 03:37, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You see what the results are of going too fast when writing stuff in that World War I section? Argh lol. —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 03:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And there you go, watching my contribs again... —La Pianista (TCS) 03:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, where do you get all this data? One out of every four words is a number, lol. —La Pianista (TCS) 03:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I've been watching my watchlist. :)
...look at the references, lazy! :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 04:07, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Hats off to you, Ed. Great work with the article. Even though my lazy self did not check the refs, the article has some sort of "factually-accurate aura" about it that WP:CM articles envy.
Enjoy your chevrons (which I saw) and have a nice fiesta to celebrate. ;D —La Pianista (TCS) 04:13, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!!! The article may have a chance at being on the main page now...maybe. :D
Lol, well, the refs are definitely fine...I felt like I had been dragged over a cheese grater when I finally fixed all of the problems they had with the refs in the FAC... =/
Thanks again...and my fiesta will be writing a first draft of a three-page literary analysis of "The Lottery" for EN111 at 12:30 a.m...when it's due at 12 noon tomorrow. (I don't have class tomorrow though...thank god =]) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 04:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no blooody murder

[edit]

So there won't be Bloody murder for a while? Darn! Well can I at least be part of the show?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 01:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also I wrote something new on ed's user talk, have you checked on my new link yet?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 01:31, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen your new link, but, unfortunately, I don't play video games. I did when I was little, though on that out-dated PS1 (my friend's system).
But the link on your navbar goes to your Editor Review, not your "Games" subpage. And just a warning Spittle: the page might be deleted in the future. Check out WP:UP#NOT.
And you can be a part of the show if you want, but we're not even sure if we'll continue with it. —La Pianista (TCS) 03:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question....

8-BThis user is a nerd, but looks nothing like one.



...so 8-B is a disambig. It is:

...so what does "8-B" have to do with anything? :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 04:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's an emoticon. —La Pianista (TCS) 04:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I didn't know that!—Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 04:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He joined your show?Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 16:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, but I thought you had [Chamal] that B.E. had joined. I'm only assuming, though...
If the link I put there confused, you, it's a joke, Spittle. :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 20:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think my game page will be deleted alot of users have that! Also have you read series of unfortunate events?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 21:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately (haha), no, I have not. I watched the movie, though, but that was a long time ago.
I do read a lot, though - I've recently finished all the novels of Jane Austen (including Lady Susan, *pats self on back*). Currently reading the works of Bram Stoker - you know, Dracula and the like. :D —La Pianista (TCS) 21:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you read Lord of the Rings and liked it, you may want to try the Shannara series... Just don't start with The Sword of Shannara...it's long and kinda hard to read...very interesting, but long and hard to read.....try The Elfstones of Shannara first.Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 21:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have to read the books (on sereis of unfortunate events) it's AWESOME!! and very very sad especially starting from the 7th book!--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 21:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, you guys caught me. I'm a 19th-century nerd. The only modern novels I've ever read were the Harry Potter series and the Spiderwick Chronicles - I liked the latter more, though. I'm into Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, especially. Have you read any of those authors' works? (Some of that Thomas Hardy stuff isn't fit for little ones, though.) —La Pianista (TCS) 17:38, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I read A Christmas Carol about 2 years ago and the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities a lonnnng time ago...don't remember why I didn't finish it, and I don't remember much about it...I just remember that I started it. :) BTW, congrats on getting to the "ultimate number"! :D —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 20:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but the ultimate number is bitter-sweet, since A), it means that about thirty-five people wish I was dead, and B), about thirty-five people care enough to let me know. :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 22:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Out of curiosity, how does 42 vandalizations = 35? —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 22:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Some people vandalize more than once, so I brought it down to proportion. :) —La Pianista (TCS) 22:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

award

[edit]

Do you think I'm worthy of an award?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 00:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(also I found an award that is usually given to newcomers)--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 00:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hm...
It depends. Do you think you are worthy of an award? :) —La Pianista (TCS) 02:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well I was thinking of a userpage award or a newcomer award...--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 15:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know what awards you are talking about. But do you think you should get an award now, or do you think you need more time? —La Pianista (TCS) 17:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grammer

[edit]

That one with the horse can only be used when said because of the capital in Yet is needed even if in those circumstances.

mormon

[edit]

Hmm.. I guess it's ok to teahc some people about religious stuff, if there's a barnstar for it I guess it's ok... I was thinking about teaching you about the gospel, but maybe you wouldn't... Do you want to? I could teahc you something new every 2 weeks or so...--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 15:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also it's your choice to give me a barnstar or not, how about you give me 2 more weeks.--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 18:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the offer...but, no thanks. I'm a happy Methodist. BTW, I think that might be MySpacing... :)
But, if you want my honest opinion, I think you'll need a little more than two weeks. Just relax for now - you'll get a barnstar when you least expect it. ;) —La Pianista (TCS) 18:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping for a userpage award though. So you do have a religion?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 18:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I do. :)
A userpage award...hm...you might want to spend more time on your userpage...BUT NOT TOO MUCH!
Remember that the wiki has over two million articles already. You'd probably increase your chances of getting a barnstar by editing some of those.
But about userpages: have you seen my sketch of a redesign? Tell me what you think - it's okay if you don't like it. —La Pianista (TCS) 18:38, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
AWESOME!! Great now I'm sure I'll get a userpage award! The background is cool but can you put it on for me?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 19:08, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! But it's still a work in progress. I'll try to see how to integrate the navbar at the top. In fact, I think I'll do it now. —La Pianista (TCS) 19:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well...

Logos

[edit]

Hey Pianista, I was wondering, would you mind constructing a logo for me? This is, of course, assuming that you would be willing to and have the time to. I saw the ones you designed for Spittelspat, and that got me interested. Love to here back from you, cheers, Blooded Edge (TCA) 20:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All right! Would you like it to match your sig? —La Pianista (TCS) 22:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I like your logo better... The one on your userpage (the one with a shadow?) I want that one on my userpage... If you reject then I'll choose logo 1--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 22:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(after e/c) Aw, thank you so much, Spittle! :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 23:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also you rated my edits 5 stars could you make it higher? Cause somewhere around 11:00 I took an hour reading articles and editing them, if you want prroof you can check my contributions!--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW Spittle, it's "Blooded Edge and I" :) I beat you, Ms. Gnome Pianista. :D :D :D :DEd 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:08, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is becoming a blooody murder episode! Also what the heck does BTW mean???--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:10, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Ed17 I should add you to my friend's list!--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c)Well, like my piano teacher tells me, "Always take quality over quantity." It's cliché, but it makes a lot of sense when he says it. :)
I would rather you make one good edit than a dozen mediocre ones. But that's not to say that you are editing badly - I just thought that you could divide your time better, lending more to editing in mainspace/vandal fighting/etc.
And...hey, instead of asking me to change your number, why don't you make me do it? Start editing differently, and follow the advice we give you. That way, the number change will have merit. ;D
(after e/c). BTW is iSlang for "by the way." And...btw...perhaps I should called myself - La Gnomista? —La Pianista (TCS) 23:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And, actually, it's Blooded Edge and me. *puts on English professor tone* The phrase "Blooded Edge and me" applies as a direct object - "You" is the subject of the sentence. Since the subject of the sentence is the one carrying out the action upon the direct object(s), the pronoun should be in the objective form. —La Pianista (TCS) 23:15, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(...doubleTRIPLE e/c, so I'm starting over. =])...Yes, you should have called yourself "Gnomista"...except that it is a contradiction! "Gnomista" is not a word...but if you are a gnome, real words should comprise your username, right? :)
Actually, I got through all of my English classes without knowing what a verb, adjective, subject, object, and direct object mean... And I'm serious.Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c):::::::However, I do know that a noun is a person, place or thing...but that's all I know. Adj are, what, descriptive words...? Something like that. =D —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey you guys could you... um I meant you guys and gals, could you guys... AND GALS, is it ok if I just called you yous (even though that's not a word) could yous rate my humour and lapiansta have you raised my edit rate yet? Sorry if calling you yous sounded weird...--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This feels like a blooody murder episode! (also just from talking in this discussion I've gotten 4 edit conflicts!--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Ed's dent)(Yet another e/c - my talk page has never before been so busy! *ego inflates*) Hmph. I do believe the Gnome Syndrome is contagious...gnome. :D :D :D

No, Spittle, I don't feel it would be ethical to change your number until I've waited about a month or so to see if you've changed your editing habits. It may not be the nicest thing to do, but it's what I'm most comfortable with. :)

(e/c × 2) And your comment, Spittle, just caused me to run into another one. :) —La Pianista (TCS) 23:23, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and just saw your comment about grammar, Ed (it was lost in the conflicts): an adjective describes a noun/pronoun/noun phrase/prepositional phrase only. Adverbs are for all the rest. —La Pianista (TCS) 23:25, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In this special grammar episode of Bloody murder, the three friends start arguring! Spittlespat:Well I have better grammar than all of you it's just I have um... I have um... short term memory loss that's why it seems that I have bad grammar!(also so far I have 7 edit conflicts from thsi discussion, wait here comes another one! make that 8 edit conflicts!)--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(DOUBLE e/c) This is becoming like WP:AN/K....5 SIX SEVEN e/c's....
And did you realize, Pianista, that I got through all of my English classes just fine? Even though I didn't and still don't know that/them? Sad... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed
Hurry this may be the best blooody murder yet! get more audience Lapiansta!--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:28, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Six eyes and two contacts are enough for now. :)
Uh-huh. So...what is compound-complex sentence, Ed/Spittle? —La Pianista (TCS) 23:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And...ahh...the ol' WP:AN/K. Never been there, but watching the discussions from afar brought me many a lulz. —La Pianista (TCS) 23:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey how should I know waht a compound complex is? I have short term memory lost remember? (wow 9 edit conflicts!)--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(double e/c) 4 contacts...I've got 2 too. :)
(double e/c) A guess: one with commas? One that includes more than just a subject and (is this the right word?) predicate?
(e/c) Well, it's slowed down a bit 'cos Keeper moved and doesn't get have regular access, but... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c x 10) I think this is a compound-complex sentece is, is is this, I have 2 eyes, but the monster, who was ugly, had one eye. like that?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:38, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

am I right?--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c × the number of red hairs on my head) Nope, far off. A compound sentence is two sentences combined:
I do not like Ed + Ed does not like me = I do not like Ed, and Ed does not like me.
...plus a subordinate clause put in to boot:
Since he left me to die + I do not like Ed, and Ed does not like me = Since he left me to die, I do not like Ed, and Ed does not like me.
Voilá!La Pianista (TCS) 23:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
hey smarty pants, but is a conjuction look it up in your grammar book! So looks like I'm right, it's basically saying I have 2 eyes and the monster, who was ugly had one.
Wait...the "subordinate clause" is "I do not like Ed", right?Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Misunderstood Spittle's comment. —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You know, I really don't like that sentence... :) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c)? (at Spittle's comment)
No, the subordinate clause is "Since he left me to die." It cannot stand by itself as a sentence because of the conjunction "Since" in front of it. Thus, it is subordinate to the rest of the sentence.
(after e/c) Oh, really? Then how about this:
Since he said I was evil, I really don't like Ed, and he really doesn't like me. :D :D :D —La Pianista (TCS) 23:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c x 11) hey yous this is a really easy question but where is the complement in this sentence, The man read a long book and then went to his cozy bed but before he did that he jumped into his pajamas first!!--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 23:51, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The complement is with your mom. :D :D :D: :D —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
*gasp* Ed has another pair of eyes under his chin! Look! :D: —La Pianista (TCS) 23:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
-_- I hate it when I type too fast... ;D: —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 23:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
haha I outsmarted all of you you can't find my complement in the sentence well looks like I'm the smartest in grammar, but for la piansta I guess were equal in grammar (wow I beat a teenager in grammar!)--Spittlespat! ǀ TCS 00:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
