Please excuse me while I think of an excuse for plagiarizing this material. I made a duplicate of an e-mail to duplicate it here and have no idea about the source. I have already learned not attempt to appear to be a learned person on Gather. However, I put this to use for your pleasure since no one else thought to use it. I attempted to perfect the post so that it is perfect.
You must have a permit from the powers that be on Gather to permit you to accuse me of stealing. You’ll meet a rebel if you rebel against me! Do not abuse me. I don’t accept abuse. I plan to separate attackers into a separate category from my friends. Be a convert to niceness before you attempt to convert people to be against me. I’m sure that someone will hold a contest to see who can contest this post the best.
And yes, the wind does wind the windmill.
I found this on my computer:

As for the plagiarism part -- I think you covered that. No one thinks you are claiming it as yours, and due to the source it is not possible to provide a link with a fair use extract.
The plagiarism was funny, but your introduction was Just as Funny!! 10
Language is basically a construct of metaphor, tonal cues and feelings. The biggest problem most people have in learning a foreign language is in trying to give factual definitions to words. We seldom think of definitions in commion speech.
And then there is the whole arena of 'sayings' and meanings, i.e. fat chance and slim chance
You have properly humbled me, both by you ability to weave these words into a good article and to make me wrestle with all the manipulations of the words you used.
I will temper people's frustrations with language, it has proven our mental abilities (removed many of the adcademic excuses) since we were able to learn enough at an early age (a year or two, I am slow) to effectively communcate our wants and needs. It has also shown that anyone that trully wants to communicate as the widest of all words and meanings to draw on so others can understand what they mean.
You know what's sad, though? English is one of the hardest languages to learn, but why is it that most Americans(who grew up speaking English) don't know a second language? We're about the only culture with minimum 2nd language requirements, yet when most Americans travel abroad, they get offended when someone in another country doesn't speak English. Most foreign travelers to the United States do not assume we speak their language here.
