There is a small possiblity that he means:hypocrisy Look up hypocrisy at Dictionary.com
c.1200, ipocrisie, from O.Fr. ypocrisie, from L.L. hypocrisis, from Gk. hypokrisis "acting on the stage, pretense," from hypokrinesthai "play a part, pretend," also "answer," from hypo- "under" (see sub-) + middle voice of krinein "to sift, decide" (see crisis). The sense evolution in Attic Greek is from "separate gradually" to "answer" to "answer a fellow actor on stage" to "play a part." The h- was restored in English 16c.

But Shirley I could not comment.

Yet another spelling lesson from people who have clearly never made a mistake in their lives! Oh, goodie! Thanks guys, you're the best. Thanks for keeping all of us dummies in line. Without you guys we'd all just be wandering around with pools of our own drool on our shirts.

But it is nice to see that when those who are "superior" have nothing to add to the debate they can always be counted on to criticize the form or style of a post rather than the content. That's refreshing, and oh such a new concept!

Give it a rest. It was quite clear what was ment. Sorry I'm not as perfect as you guys.
:rolleyes:



Oh and here's a clue if you aren't smart enough to pick up on it ... That was sarcasm.

Yes, yes, we are all more than familiar with what the term has for current meaning.
We daily have dozens of examples, hundreds even from people who call themselves educated, but aren't, Christian but aren't, "Freedom™" loving, but aren't, etc etc from the front page of the papers to the daily examples of nearly all the Americans here---except those who have roots elsewhere (a curious thing indeed).

By the way, I apologize for the accusation that you threatened to ban me for daring to question you.
It was some other American----somebody who evidently lives in some fantasy CART or some such crap world.
But he wrote the same as all the other Yanks so couldn't distinguish the difference.
Sorry.

Well, I just thought it was funny that you go ballistic about your culture and then make spelling mistakes (though I guess it is a form you usually use) when calling us, for whatever reason, hypocrites.

Point taken, ioan, but surely it would only apply were it just Americans making spelling mistakes, rather than lots of other native speakers of English?

Thank you for pointing out, once again, just how perfect you are. And thank you as well for judging us mere mortals against the scale of perfection that only you can live up to.

Ok Ok, don't be mean. You see how the real Americans plunge from pugnacious posturing when pontificating about their patriotism and perfection, to pitiful pre-adolesent protests of prosecution promptly precisely when people point out any problem in their preposterous palaver and prattle.

They are all armed and with such delicate egos, you make a joke and maybe they flip out and blow their brains out.
How would you feel about that?

And maybe they meant hypocracy..

A serious subject like gun control and murder Vs spelling and grammar.

Sure you lot aren't politicians?

Yeah, bunch of hypokrits :down:

Wow, I though Spiro Agnew died. I didn't realize he moved to Washington and became a rally fan.
And I'd thank you to change your line 'real American' to 'real Southern.' Don't lump the rest of us in with the hayseeds! ;)

knockie, I said I wouldn't normally comment on spelling and grammar, not me who spells and hacks grammar in so many languages and this isn't "about" spelling --it accepts the "alternate" spelling and is poking fun at that since for the bulk of "those kind" of "merikuns" it actually seems more appropriate..
Parody
Satire
redicule
Irony...

Only way the half of the country who are not Zombie jeebus lovin armed to the teeth and screaming "but I haib't 'fraid a nobody!!" Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Marxist Nazi " can resolve all the lunacy of "those sort" is with very broad front humor...

And yes its a serious subject----but "those sort" have consistantly hi-jacked any thread showing any shock or dismay at the plight of the 10s of thousands of victims, into a simple minded blind-rigid assertion that their right to own a gun is far more important than the thousands of deaths of inncocents yearly...

Indeed since this last 2 threads aboput victims started there was a THIRD shooting by of child within less than 50Km from here. This one fatal.

Death of Wash. Boy Third Gun Accident in 3 Weeks - ABC News
y DONNA BLANKINSHIP and DOUG ESSER Associated Press
SEATTLE March 15, 2012 (AP)

A toddler shoots himself to death with his father's gun. A young girl dies when a sibling fires a gun found in the family car. A school girl is seriously wounded when a gun in a boy's backpack goes off.

Three tragic accidents in the span of just three weeks are raising questions about the effectiveness of the state's gun laws and community awareness of firearm safety.

Tacoma police Officer Naveed Benjamin said the 3-year-old boy's death Wednesday highlights the need for people to secure guns.

"It is incredible in light of the other ones," Benjamin said. "You would think people would take more care, not less."

After his parents stopped for gas early Wednesday, the young boy scrambled out of his child seat, found a gun police say was left in the car by his father and fatally shot himself in the head.

Tacoma police said his father put his pistol under a seat and got out to pump gas while the mother went inside the convenience store. The boy's infant sister, who also was in the car, was not injured.

The Pierce County medical examiner has identified the boy as Julio Segura-McIntosh of Tacoma.

Detectives questioned the parents and have called the shooting a tragic accident, Benjamin said. The father has a concealed weapons permit, and no charges have been filed, he said. Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said that he is reviewing the case for possible manslaughter charges.

Yeah its fawking serious for those who don't live in a idealised, theoretical, fantasy world.

Bitch at them, Knockie not us who in our own way try to bring and maintain HUMAN reactions to these insane pointless deaths.
