Btw, next time you try to argue a point that I made, try to go with the thing I quoted, not some other statement.


It doesn't even matter what I quote, do you realize how stupid it is to refute his argument about hunting with an argument centered around swatting insects? There are so many better arguments for hunting, it really just makes you look ignorant.

Here in the U.S., mosquito is spelled with an "E" in its plural form, and I would mark it incorrect if I ever received a paper with such an error. This is because English nouns that end in "O" are pluralized with an "ES" (potatoes, tomatoes, volcanoes). There are exceptions with Latin-based nouns; however, here in the U.S., mosquito should end in "ES" when pluralized.

And since this is the internet you just assumed that I am from the U.S., right? Who's ignorant now?

Forgive me, I should have realized English is your second language. If you spell it "mosquitos," then I can assume Spanish is your first language, in which case you are probably used to saying "los mosquitos." In the English-speaking world it is spelled mosquitoes. I am guilty of stereotyping when I assumed a Spanish-speaking person wouldn't be sporting a hockey signature.

Well, once again you're the prime example of why you should not assume.

Will you help me with my English and complete the following sentence for me?
“When you assume, you make an .... out of .... and ...."

When you assume, you make an embarrassment out of MNhockey and his poor spelling.

I seriously hope god banishes you guys to hell when you die for hurting his creations.  God didn't put ducks/dear/etc on this planet for your amusement and ego boosting.  God put these life forms on this planet so we can appreciate the beauty of his grace and work.

Enjoy your last few years on earth before you get banished to the darkest depths of Lucifer's domain.
