"HOWEVER ,THE FACT THAT YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO USE THE WORD GOOK IN A PUBLIC "

I dont think he used the word in the sense you thought,"gobbly-gook",just a slang or phrase to mean mixed up.

I personally do not think it was intended as some people think. Here is the webster definition I found. I'm not tring to take sides but there is more than one meaning.

2 entries found for gook.
To select an entry, click on it

Pronunciation: 'guk, 'gük
variant of GUCK

My 2 cents.
Try it out on webster.com

I'm know that you are correct. Many people use "gobbly gook" as a slang term for mixed up. (I only pointed it out in my first post as not being propper English. Nothing more!)

Bob would not mean anything other than that.
Of this I am 100% positive!

I'm not sure, but judging by some of Bob's previous posts, he has baited the hook and gotten quite a few bites.

The humanity...

Imagine a world without spelling or grammatical errors. I'll tell you this much. This is NOT the internet... ha!

IMO, it seems really intolerant and elitest to leave because the calibre of sentence structure is not up to your autocratically predetermined standard. No one ever sets out to spell as words incorrectly, nor do they intend to sound incoherant. Some people just have different ways of forming thoughts in their heads. To each their own strengths.

I won't miss you. I think you are argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.

Spelling mistakes and grammer issues are quite common everywhere.

I honestly hope you change your mind, seeing your number of posts, I assume you have a lot to offer this board by staying.

And I hope you are not a racist, just a person with no patience (though having kids will earn that attribute).

Bob's (correct punctuation for Bob is) not a racist. He's a ___ist. He should have been a teacher.
