You can't have too many apostrophe's

hi paul:

is this an audio forum ? what is the relevance of your thread. your statement is an opinion. hence, it is unimportant.

i ammore interested in facts and knowledge than opinions.
opinions are ok for friendly discourse, idle chatter, but they are mere speculations, being probably true and probably false.

facts and knowledge are more useful when serious decions are made.

hi doug:

do you have any evidence to confirm your assertions ?

are there any articles in psychology journals, to support your position ?

there are many opinions about the causes of behavior but very few facts to confirm the alleged causes.

some of your so-called facts are opinions. you offer no proof. for example: society is becoming more illiterate.

there is a differnce between fact and oipinion. often, statements are made alleging facts, which are opinions.

an opinion is probably true and probably false. there is no evidence to support the aforementioned statement.

i have read many of your posts, and, in my opinion, you tend to be provocative. perhaps this is a trait of personality.

your comments serve no useful purpose, in my opinion, and are inappropriate on an audio forum.

stick to reviewing where you may have some expertise.

hi doug:

you have not answered my question: what is the criterion for illiteracy ?

is there a way to gather statistics to verify your hypothesis or can you point me in the direction of information that i can check myself ?

can someone explain why this non-audio topic has generated so many comments, some of which have been repititions ?

it is my impression that there exists an obsession with grammatical correctness, which is out of proportion to its importance.

words have definitions. the behavior of some is indicative of obsession. this is not an opinion. there are definitions, facts, opinions and knowledge. since words have definitions, all utterances are not opinions.

apology accepted. i appreciate that you "keep me on my mental toes". in the end, its just talk.
