If you'd like to discuss the etymology of this use, I think we should take it to PM.

Actually tis was correct, it should be shittiness, notice the two T's, that is because shittiness derives from the adjective form of shit, which is shitty.

When you say "you are shit" shit is a direct object, and a noun. If you were to say "you are shitty" then it is an adjective decribing you. Saying "you are shit" is like saying "you are a human". Yes people do use shit in an adjective form sometimes, but wrongly so, the correct adjective form of shit is, as I said, usually shitty. Therefore the more correct forming of shitness is shittiness.

Now to stop the flaming and whatnot, this is the internet and a forum. People should not be expected to spell perfectly or try to bother with correct grammar. My first post was simply a joke, as was his original post. I simply went into so much detail because someone had the balls to question and try to undermine my joke!!

You'll notice that there are, indeed, two Ts in what you just quoted. Yes, I missed one earlier, but I edited it in when narcissistically rereading my own post.

Incidentally, T's is an incorrect form. I guess that just goes to show that we could keep this up forever

Not quite. Try this on for size: 'you are car' as opposed to 'you are red'

Which case makes sense?

Yeah, it's wrong. But I'm not going to stop using it just because of that. There are constantly linguistic developments changing the form of language. Some people think this is bad, I hold that it must be reviewed on a case to case basis. For example, the modern overuse of the word 'irony' to describe any humorous situation is annoying because it leads to inaccuracy. Coopting 'shit' as a denigrating adjective, on the other hand, is positive. Unlike most other offensive adjectives (****er, ****, fag, ******, raghead, limey, frog, bastard, bitch, FAnG member) it is not a demeaning reference to some social or cultural group.

Saying "you are shit" is like saying "you are a human".

I disagree. This has been a nice change of pace from the usual 'Absolute is going to crash and burn' crap. As for not expecting perfect spelling or corrected grammar, I'd much appreciate spelling and/or grammar corrections in the future, though it would probably be more appropriate to send them via PM next time

I found your joke funny

You did very well know that I'd read this and react to this seeing you use the entity of being a member of my alliance as an offensive adjective which in this case means you think being a member of my alliance is something bad. With that you actually discriminate a large population of PA players because according to you there are lesser human beings based on their choice of alliances during an online game ....

Now ofc I know and hope this was merely a joke (though there wasn't smilie present), it still is not nice to make such generalisations because none of those pple you just discriminated are in any case worse then you are for instance.

Then again, you knew I'd reply to this thread so you already got a reply saved in some txt file

on a sidenote I'm happy you wrote the correct abbr of our alliance.

Captain Observation strikes again!

Firstly, your alliance doesn't exist anymore does it?
Secondly, it's a joke - get over it. He took the piss out of your alliance, there's no need to cry.
Thirdly, it is bad to be a member of FAnG - this is a widely accepted opinion

[Jackal2112]

so who is winning? can't be Kjel, so who is it?

I'm not lecturing, I'm telling him that I was joking hence proving him he was WRONG on this occasion. He was dead wrong in his post and I pointed that out, I do think I have the right to do so, not?

Funny how you lecture me not to lecture someone else ... in the end makes you worse cause in your case there's also hypocricy involved.

[jerome]

he wasn`t lecturing, he was just pointing pointing out how hypocritical you looked.
