Will your professed superiority serve you well as you are roasting in eternal Hellfire?
He acknowledged that he cut and pasted it from another forum. So perhaps it's his, perhaps it's not. PTFA.
That'd be what I was pointing out to him, asking where it said, as he stated, "Unsaved Welcome".
Again, PTFA. Or get that matted hair out of your eyes.
I could ask the same.

You've never heard the term? You astonish me. I thought "Quotation Marks" was the British term and "Inverted Commas" the American. The dictionaries I've looked at don't mention that "inverted commas" is a British expression. All the other Americans that I've come across have heard of it. It's an everday expression.
Do you have any evidence for it being a British term?
>>He acknowledged that he cut and pasted it from another forum. So perhaps it's his, perhaps it's not.<<
Exactly. Exactly. And he put quotation marks around it. Whichever way you look at it he cannot possibly be plagiarising.
If it's not his the quotation marks make it's plain that he's quoting -- don't they? And his saying he got it from somewhere else also is an acknowledgement of the same.
If it is his he can't possibly plagiarise it.
I had an article stolen from a web site I once did and put on another site. The smartalec who did it, placed a notice on the top -- "This article has been blatantly stolen from xx site".
He was guilty of copyright infringement but not of plagiarism. By admitting that he'd stolen it, he couldn't be plagiarising. Are you confusing plagiarism with copyright infringement? Many seem to.
So I made a slight error with the Unsaved Unwelcome thing.
And you were being pedantic about a minor typo.
If you were to give the church a dollar everytime you feel the urge to be absurdly pedantic over some unimportant term, typo, or spelling mistake, instead of posting it, you would make them rich and stop wasting bandwidth on the forum as well.

Oddly enough we agree on this point. The US Federal government is unfair to Christians by not being a theocracy. However we have been working to correct this by getting Bush elected and the government filled with properly public minded Christian appointees. When the terrorists set off that dirty bomb in Los Vegas next September Bush will be able to declare marshal law across the United States and appoint himself president for life (so we can stay the course)

Well, I would think it would be obvious enough but why ruin a surprise.:;-):

This coming from the person writing scads of posts about it? Goodness, you're nearly as loquacious as you are tiresome. But since you've made an assertion, doubtless correct seeing your expansive worldly wisdom, I suppose we should test it out.
Let's see what we get on the first page of hits on Google, shall we? Apparently you've looked at none of these dictionaries:

Now, who's derailed this thread about saving this young cartoon-lover from eternal damnation and turned it into an endless rant about punctuation? This forum is a place to share the Truth about God and Jesus, not for you to endlessly demonstrate your (largely imaginary, it'd seem) book-smarts and attempt to insult the good Christian folk who value Good Book-smarts instead.
Get a haircut, get a life, and get Jesus. Not necessarily in that order.
May we get back to our cartoon fetishist, now? Thank you.

Do you understand what America was founded upon.
Freedom is not the ability to be free to be dumb.
I am honestly astonished and cannot believe that there are so many people that actually think in this mentality.
(By the way, I appreciate the less common spelling of Las Vigas. Please use some decent grammar, I'm not picky, but you honestly make yourself look bad.)

You seem to practice the liberty of being dumb all the time. Well, not all the time.

And I am honestly astonished and cannot believe that there are so many people (including you) that actually think that "freedom" includes the right to be lazy.
Son, this great country of ours was founded by Jesus. Various dagos, wops or other eurotrash communists may try and claim that THEY founded America, but they are letting satan do their thinking.
THIS old sermon by Pastor Deacon Fred may help shed some light on the subject. Which reminds me, Christian Heritage Month is coming up soon!
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

Tommy, would you mind elaborating on your previous statement? I am a little confused.
