Hey Tim,
Sorry about the mini-debate going on further down the posts. Feeling bored and refusing to do any work, which explains the gusto in engaging in a rather....snide discourse.

Hey, by all means, please feel free to do so. (I'm not like some blog owners we both know. *wink*)
This is an unrestricted avenue for the freedom of expression which we should all use until the day the authoritarians clamp down and not allow us to do so.
I'm only frustrated that I haven't got more time to participate in it. Extremely pressed for time in preparing for final tests, an overdue assignment and an exam in 2 weeks. All coupled with an annoying viral infection.
Hey WK
There really isn't much to get out to when you're stuck in your room writing a paper on corporate risk management and the purchasing of derivatives here in now-springtime Chicago. =) I needed the distraction since this is boring as batshit.
And it is in perfectly simple english da. Mostly argumentative (on my part) though I do not deny the existence of a few personal jibes on both sides.
While I can't speak for the other person, I'm male.

Corporate Risk Management?? What did you say you're doing your masters in again?
Doing my masters in International Relations...but I'm concentrating in international political economy and using that as an excuse to take classes in the business school.
Erm...actually, thats exactly how I write my theses and essays.
I have one style of expression for personal conversations and another for more serious argumentation. Both seem to work well in their respective arenas.=)
I suppose it could, though I personally feel that pretentiousness is only the case when one actively attempts to conjure behaviour or expressions in a particular manner. Truthfully, thats hardly the case for me.
As for the future, who knows? *grin*
And corporate risk management is boring as batshit.
