"But, you are correct in any event."
Incorrect comma use.
Uh oh, this is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better...

Ah, yes, but one wouldn't say, "Writing of feeling bad...," now would they? "Speaking" in these terms is merely used to reference a clause. I never asserted he was actually "speaking," only that he was suggesting a point. Frankly, you would have been better off making a issue of "Please don't pretend to act," which is redundant. You might think of changing your name, but, now that I think about it, the misspelling defines your character much better.

Are you SURE about that buddy? Substitute the word HOWEVER, and tell me what you think.
I'm sure.
AP stylebook: Do not use a comma when the sentence starts with a strong clause ... or, but, for, nor.

Not necessarily. Though the use of a commas is not required, it can be used to imply a distinct pause while being read.

Fat parents have Fat kids because they all eat fat food and do Fat things.

Precisely. Nice work on this one.
I have to say that this turned out better than expected, but sadly about different things than expected.
To Flagpole Silly:
1. Intelligence is 50/50 nurture/nature, but you would probably be correct to say that English ability is more nurture since it's all about rope memorization, if you're read to as child and such.
2. Maybe morbidly obese wasn't the right term, but I meant the diabetes and lymph node disorders that just cause those 400 pound plus
3. Respect
And major respek to the little people

I could not agree more. In fact, I believe that there should be a law which prevents people with inferior DNA from breeding. The government should come up with standard guidelines to determine who can and who cannot legally reproduce. These guidelines should be enforced with long prison terms or even death because if they were not well enforced, the next generation could be retards.
Our child may be homely, but we love her just the same. She makes us seem semi-human.

There is. It's synonymous with being Japanese.

Nice civil response brother. Here's my response meant in the same tone.
Do realize that the vast majority of people who are over 400 pounds are that way NOT because of some thyroid or other problem. It's just that they eat way too much and too much of the wrong stuff. Fork in mouth disease.
Nice to see the respect given to the little people. They are deserving of it.
No one should feel any guilt. We need higher birth rates!
bump.
genetics may dictate a lot more than first theorized (don't tell any social psychologist this though). if you want an interesting read, look up information about the Minnesota Twin studies. There was one case where identical twins raised apart (at an early age) had an outrageous amount of similarities: (this isn't verbatim, just off memory) something like both had the same name, both married a woman with the same name, both divorced that woman then married another woman with the same name, etc. etc. How much do you write off as coincidence?

I wonder how your parents feel.
Rather than asking on a message board ask them.
