@Yes My friend’s purse got stolen at Toast! DONT GO THERE
@GSer I’m the author. Boor isn’t out of context. The point of the column is that it’s an obnoxious life-experience monologue. So I’m being both a boor and a bore. Admittedly my idea doesn’t work that well in an op-ed column; judging from the quickspec summary, the sassy tone was lost on many readers. The cover photo is a nice touch, though.
@Nah Don’t worry, the overall obnoxiousness of your writing style and column came through clear as a foghorn.
@GSer Obnoxious as opposed to annoymously quibbling over grammar? Sorry to have offended your precious little sensibilities. You have my permission to avert your eyes week after next.

@heh. sweetiepie, you’re the one who seems to have offended precious sensibilities. you’re arguing with anonymous commenters on the internet. but don’t worry, my eyes shall indeed be averted, even though i’m rankled that a jackass such as yourself is going to be representing our school and making us gsers look even worse than usual.
@GSer I suppose the accidentally doubled post did give my response a slightly hysterical edge. But, assuming you’re the same person as #11, what would you have written about? I’m open to suggestions
@??? Are you trying to say that when bwog (or other) editors make mistakes its because they are so busy with their cool and well-balanced social lives? This makes no sense.
@light a candle don’t like it? go through the trouble of applying yourself and prove you can do better. sure beats sitting back and bitching over what could have been.
@Mimi got a light?
@Spec'ed Out Goddamnit. Last year, so many people were asking *me* to write a GS column. And we get this crap instead? Thanks, Spec!
@#6 again Kids?! Of course BOOR is a word, fool, but it’s totally out of context. The author has not been at all rude or unmannerly; rather, he’s worried that his column is boring. Check the next sentence:
“The cruelest among you may have already decided that this is one of those long, pointless life-experience blatherings we GS-ers are prone to.”
And while the all-caps added a comic emphasis, I am in fact DEADLY SERIOUS about my grammatical critique.
@re: grammar i REALLY hope that’s a joke.
@actually It’s pretty funny.
@GRAMMAR SPEC EDITORS SPEND ALL THEIR TIME ON THEIR ONE ALL-CONSUMING EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY AND THEY STILL MISS MISTAKES LIKE THIS:
“I’m a complete boor”
NO! YOU’RE A COMPLETE bore, FOOL!
@umm I hate to break up the little Spec-bashing party, kids, but “boor” is a word, and I do believe it’s the word the author meant.
@post headlines are more like “COPS NAB BX THUG$Z”…beat that, bwog.
@Reader “Sez?” Apparently, Bwog has reverted to the NY Post version of “grammar.” (or “grammer” as it were.)
@John Klopfer The Post doesn’t have a tongue to put it its cheek.
@should be “If you’re worried about your safety when walking home from Toast, you’re a little bitch. Come on.”
@I Love Toast “If you’re worried about your safety when walking home from Toast, be sure to walk with a friend.”
Thanks, Spectator!
