Conjugating the verb "to dive"

[Paco]

spanish and french are similar... and are much more complicated than english. So many exceptions, every word has a "gender", etc...

Actually, the nouns in Sp. and Fr. have number and gender; verbs do not mark gender.

ROTFLMAO.

i love people with fundamentally stupid methods of classifying other people as lower than them...

the only people who get to claim i'm bad at math have a practicing understanding of differential geometry, non-abelian gauge theory or something else at that level or above...

so can you do something more impressive than just balance your checkbook?

I failed to mention the non sequitur of the how and why someone would or could "make their paycheck add up." How would one's paycheck fail to "add up?" I'm staring to wonder whether those walls would really be square or more like a parallelogram.

Just put him in a round room and tell him to stand in the corner.

Ah yes, the hakapik albeit more modern is more humane.

Again, "dove" is an accepted and linguistically correct form of the verb. Please check a real dictionary instead of Wikipedia or whatever it is people do on the internet.

I prefer the OED. I think you'll find that practically nobody accepts each alternate accepted form equally. I'm simply stating my strong preference for one over another.

Your grammar and punctuation are not as good as you think; I count at least 6 technical errors (including the final, presumably intentional, one)...lol...

I don't believe you have any idea how good I think my grammar and punctuation may be. Rigidly correct usage nearly always sounds stilted, as I'm sure you know. I make no claims of perfection.

And I'm glad you got it.

I think all methods of classifying others as "lower" are fundamentally stupid. On the other hand, if you heard someone loudly whining that he should be permitted to add and subtract in his own idiosyncratic way, is there any chance that you might wish to entrust important bookkeeping tasks to someone else?

so can you do something more impressive than just balance your checkbook?

I'm practically never able to make my checkbook balance.
