No problem, just bridle a little your condescending tendencies thank you.
And say hello to Jane for me.

Nope it was an attempt at appearing superior, (If there was a doubt, the Jane Eyre remark confirms it) but this was subtly hidden behind the witty remark though it seems you missed that. And FYI, LOL stands for Laughing out Loud and not Lots of Laughs (right meaning but wrong wording)

Didn't feel that way to me unless you're feeling inferior... and as for LOL, FYI computer jargon dictionary has:

1. Shorthand for Laughing out Loud or Laugh out Loud, LOL is the most commonly used chat expressions to illustrate you are laughing during a text conversation or that you found something funny. LOL is also less commonly short for Lots of Laughter and Laughing on Line and is also often substituted by LAL, LAWL (Laughing a Whole Lot), and LOLZ. Although already an abbreviation LOL is also sometimes abbreviated even more as LL.

So maybe I misremembered Laughter as Laughs... sorry for the serious crime...

At least the dictionary's not wasted on you though wisdom might be
And the issue was never about feeling inferior, it was about feeling superior and pointing it out. And FYI That typo that started it all is not even mine, if you took the time to read the whole thing before jumping in, you would have noticed. D'oh!

Every now and then, I'll by a book from a retailer just because it's the right thing to do if I hang out there, but they are at a serious competitive disadvantage. That one click option on Amazon is devastating to bookstores. Click, synch, read. That's probably the greatest reason Amazon is as big as it is today.

Make your mind up... if it was about feeling superior then it was intended and therefore not a typo, if it was a typo then it was accidental and couldn't have been about feeling superior... and the mention of "typo" was yours... plus I did read everything including your attacks and FYI, if I feel like jumping in then I hadn't noticed any rules about doing it or have you managed to become an admin or moderator?

Oh I wouldn't say that. We did let George III know we didn't appreciate his Stamp Tax or the one on Tea in a big way some 235 yrs ago.

That's why I've never understood why the UK Kindle store is limited to those resident in the UK - it's certainly not a VAT issue.

But in the US, it is forbidden to just add the sales tax to the posted price. It has to be added on afterwards, so folks "know" what taxes they are paying. It's just the opposite in Europe - prices quoted to consumers must include VAT. The Americans are gluttons for punishment when it comes to taxes.

Yeah you really need to check yourself here. It doesn't look like you are a moderator, so I don't believe you can tell me what to say on this forum.

eta- Also your "no problem" makes it see like you think I was offering an apology to you. I was not.

Oups, my mistake for making it "see" like an apology. I can tell now that you were completely right to condescendingly try and demean someone who made a typo on "Wuthering Heights" (Oh boy )
And who is talking about apologizing ? One cannot be condescending and apologetic at the same time. I believe there is a contradiction in the terms here. Just nevermind all this and continue reading Jane "Air" ...

Again you got it all wrong, the typo or whatever you wish to call it was made by a third party to this little argument. the maker of the typo is not the one feeling superior. I can tell you really read the whole thing ...

Subtlety only protracted this whole thing and, as it turns out, to no avail.
And Kennyc, I believe the correct thing to tell me, all things considered would have been "drop the defense" which is what I believe I was endeavoring.
In any case I'll follow your advice. There are such things as lost causes ...

Not in the least. You need to chill. There was a joke and you are attacking people over it. Drop it.

We do not allow personal attacks here and you were the one that did it.
