Lek Taxi Grammar Lessons

Grammar lesson.

Correct use of "only":

I was spending that kind of money of rides to and from the airport for years before I learned how easy and cheap
it is to ride a comfortable air-conditioned bus. Only about $4 USD / р╕┐134 THB http://www.airportpattayabus.com
Incorrect use of "only":

I'm using an airport transfer (edit: Suwannaphum to Silom) provided by the hotel and only have to pay it for 3000 baht.
(sorry, couldn't resist)

Grammar? If ONLY you knew what you're talking about... I guess you mean semantics.

Do try harder to resist Christian. Nobody is interested in your spelling or grammar corrections -- you are only making a fool of yourself.
You constantly feel the need to see your name as the last contributor to a thread ---- oh, you're not Gaybutton in drag are you?

It's just plain bad manners, especially when it's a regular occurrence.
Unfortunately, Christian doesn't seem to have a clue.

Grammar/semantics is a valid point, so is the midnight to 6 am gap in service. However I never arrived or departed in that time slot, and spend the first and the last day in Bangkok anyway, so it doesn't apply to me (call me self-centered if you want). That bus is my major means of transport between Bangkok (not just the airport) and Pattaya.

Everyone else: it was a joke!


oh, you're not Gaybutton in drag are you?
No, Gaybutton is ChristianPFC in drag. (That was a joke, too.)

Christian is making a rather obscure joke at the expense of another board, actually.

Sometimes our Christian is a bit too cryptic for his own good...

I like your sense of humour, Christian. Carry on posting ;)

Unfortunately, Christian doesn't seem to have a clue.He writes a blog, his posts are legendary and yet when I said something about him he responded "You've never met me". You're right, he doesn't have a clue - there's no "seem" about it.

... and yet when I said something about him he responded "You've never met me".
Incorrect.

I wrote (in bangkok-now-that-the-curfew-over-t30732-15.html (http://sawatdeenetwork.com/forum/bangkok-now-that-the-curfew-over-t30732-15.html)):


People (edit: kommentariat) I have never met tell me how I am leading my life.
and


I have never met you as "kommentariat" (but maybe under another name?); but you might have seen me somewhere (or think you saw me, or someone who knows me pointed me out to you, whatever)
You might know me, but I don't know you (as "kommentariat").

To sum it up: you expose what you think I am doing in Thailand ("your whole life in Thailand revolves around illegal activities") and keep yourself hidden or use a disguise when our paths cross.

Could you reveal where, when or under which disguise of you we met (either in this thread or in PM) to clarify this point?

Could you reveal where, when or under which disguise of you we met (either in this thread or in PM) to clarify this point?I can see that you really do struggle with the subtleties of the English language. Are you an American perhaps? Or German?

I have never asserted that we've met. I have questioned the certainty of your assertion that we have never met. That is not the same thing at all.

You assert that it is impossible for someone who has not met you to comment on how you conduct your life (" ... in the company of prostitutes"). As the author of posts about trawling through the bushes of Sanam Luang in search of the 20-baht money boy or the joys of Bangkok's porn cinemas I think we could all be pretty confident about how you lead your life.

And just to be clear I'm not saying we haven't met either. If you're going to set yourself up as an expert in grammar ...

People I have never met ...You're sure of that are you?

So that was lame attention grabbing, too.

So that was lame attention grabbing, too.It certainly got your attention :ymhug:
