Re: MORON Vs MORAN - An educational thread.
you know, they took phonetics out of the schools for a short time in the 1960's and my sister never learned it. She can't spell or write to save her life to this very day. She writes gibberish. It's amazing she can even hold down a job.

Op is a smarttard, thats for sure.
"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

Re: MORON Vs MORAN - An educational thread.
I would like to once and for all clear up the spelling of the term MORON.

Many people on GLP spell MORON, MORAN...

Forget the urban dictionary, lets see what the World's leading Dictionary states regarding the spelling and meaning of both MORAN and MORON:

See below....


MORAN (moran)
A member of the warrior group of the Masai people of East Africa, which comprises the younger unmarried males.
Origin: Masai


MORON (moron)
Informal
A stupid person: We can’t let these thoughtless morons get away with mindless vandalism every weekend.
Origin: early 20th century (as a medical term denoting an adult with a mental age of about 8–12): from Greek mōron, neuter of mōros 'foolish'.

SOURCE: Concise Oxford Dictionary (THE WORLD's MOST TRUSTED DICTIONARIES)

[link to oxforddictionaries.com]

I was very relieved to see that Trinity (GLP owner) spelt the word MORON, in a recent thread he made.

So there you have it, it's spelt MORON.... NOT MORAN, unless you are talking about Masai Warriors, which isn't exactly a big put-down being compaired to a Warrior.

We use morAn because it is funny. We're making fun of the original fool who misspelled the word. Sorry you missed out on the joke. I think they have a pill for anal retentiveness.

Asside from that, it is beneficial on this site to not spell words correctly. It helps those to avoid data mining programs that look to track those interested in starting a revolution, which is needed.

Ahhh, I understand now...

Shouldn't that be "cross op off the list of people you'd like to MEAT at a party"..??

Sorry, I was under the misapprehension that people who use this site and can't even spell their own name correctly, are in fact, secret-undercover highly intelligent geniuses, portraying themselves as backward, below average IQ, low achieving, welfare recipients. With nothing better to occupy their amazingly small, pea sized brains than ripping shreds and tearing chunks out of other members/users/AC's.

I also understand from reading many comments on this thread, that some users have zero appreciation of the meaning sarcasm, which appears to be completely missing from most of our US cousins...

Not sure why sarcasm was lost in the transition across the Atlantic all those years ago, maybe us limey's puked so hard we threw it all up over board??

Anyway, thanks for all your input...

Certainly put a smile on my face how many of you took the truthful bait and attacked me for my tongue-in-cheek thread, highly amusing to say the least.. thanks.


I'm indeed looking forward to future verbal beheadings' if anyone can muster enough intelligence to actually spell correctly, or just write everything in morse code, as presumably morse would be more understandable than the usual kindergarden-esque hieroglyphics used by some members.

So to you all,
