PhuturePriest Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 个 Read it like this: [If] You schedule [Ham, who is] an idiot, [then] even a lightweight [...] Oh, sorry. I thought you were saying my post was incorrectly written, and I was trying to figure out where. :P Okay, that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 There is not a missing comma. It's very clear I'm comparing Ken Ham to an idiot. If it's tripping two people up, it's obviously not clear. However, this is not a debate about proper English mechanics, this is a discussion on the debate.

CrossCuT Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Bill Nye is cool! And he is a testament to the fact that it doesnt matter what your education background is or how far you went. If you know your shit then thats all that matters at the end of the day. If people want to define your worth or capabilities by whether or not youre a PhD then they can fall down a very large flight of stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second Doctor didn't make bow ties cool, though. He wore them, but he didn't make them cool. The 11th Doctor made them cool and popular.

PhuturePriest Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Go eat a bag of rodents. My simple point was the second Doctor didn't make them cool. There was no surge of bow tie wearers in response to the second Doctor. It was the 11th Doctor that accomplished that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the 11th Doctor that accomplished that. That is because back then they were still part of normal clothing, for a subset of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
