u almost got me but i do english literature at skool....im gonna be the nerdiest around here...... the word could have been used as a way of not taking side on the matter so could be named a fencesitter however to say maybe as nor yes or no in this case of madonna being hot is not a correct use..... i am correct as usual the super nerd

The fact that you claim to do english literature yet still talk like a mongoloid with part of his head missing confuses me, either they are spitting out bullshit at you, or you are full of it.
I'd be worried if you truely were a product of an english literature class, pretty backwards arsed school with teachers who bought their degrees in back alleys.

i couldn't have said it better myself! what could be named a fencesitter? your sentence reads as if the word maybe could be named a fencesitter. as in; 'hey maybe, you're a fencesitter' as though maybe were a noun, when in fact it is clearly an adverb. 'however to say maybe as nor yes or no' so many things wrong here. if i hadn't been bedridden for the last four days i would leave it and not care, but right now, i feel picky. to 'say' maybe? we are not saying maybe as anything, we are using the word maybe. as for 'as nor yes or no'... fuck me, did you even reread that? neither yes nor no, love. it should have read 'however, to use the word maybe for the purpose of saying neither yes nor no' but it doesn't stop there. 'in this case of madonna being hot' no, in the case. either you say this case and we all assume it is the case we have been discussing previously, OR you go on to define which case you mean. although, i believe the context was not whether or not madonna is hot, but whether or not everpink agrees with your previous statement that anyone who percieves madonna as hot is stupid. therefore, the meaning of maybe in THIS case would be neither yes nor no, proving your point invalid. 'is not a correct use' dude, you may be enrolled in english lit, but a name on the roll call does not make the nerd. try turning up to class sometime. allow me to correct the literary vomit that was your last post. i will ignore the fencesitter point on the grounds that it is bollocks due to the fact that the definition of the word may as well be someone who will neither agree nor disagree, or, more simply, answer neither yes nor no. 'to use the word maybe for the purpose of saying neither yes nor no in this case is not in correct use.' or, to be even more picky and avoid the clumsy double usage of the word use. 'using the word maybe for the purpose of saying neither yes nor no in this case is incorrect.' and so, although the content of your sentence may be crap, at least the sentence itself is compositely sound. game, set, match.

You know, maybe if you found that whole over used dirty gutter whore trashy look appealing, and the whole botox a real turn on, then Madonna could be considered hot. It's kinda like saying how long is a piece of string. But shame Guy Ritchie, shame.
I still think Michael's a beautiful dancewhore.

i've never met or seen her in real life. i've only seen her in photos and movies . she looks hot in those. your stupid if you answered yes i know it might be a mistake, and i probably have made many grammatical and spelling errors on this forum, and this is just being petty, but i still can't believe you are doing English lit. my stupid said yes

haven't had to write anything yet... boy are you in for a shock. English lit is NOT a piece of piss. I myself did it, and you have to be able to construct really detailed arguments full of examples and explanations for your point of view. It's shithouse.
