An open letter to those who speak the English language in daily capacity:

Fool,
Prefacing any question with "Let me ask you this:", or "My question is:", serves no purpose.
If you feel you need my permission to ask a question, you don't have it.
If you think I will not be able to distinguish an interrogative statement, you are no longer worthy of my time.
If you believe in filling the air with things coming out of your mouth, I'm headed outside, it stinks in here.
If you can't be bothered to talk clearly with me, I will take sadistic pleasure in how I return the favor
There is no courtesy, etiquette, or sophistication in the extra words.

Should a person never using such phrasing be reading, please disregard this.  You at least have a chance of communicating efficiently, and I look forward to speaking English with you.

Posted in tandem to the outer wall of my Cube, PD forums, and other communication I can slip it into.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Have you ever noticed how cubicle workers and enraged rants about diction go hand in hand?

Venting it here, I'm bound to be shown how silly it is.  This improves the day. 
Also, I was technically violating the conditions of my parole.  I posted that before coffee.

Anyone working in a cubicle for an extended period, I think, would begin to see brevity and efficient use of language as a greater virtue than, say, clean underwear. Soon Richter will abandon all use of idioms and figurative speech, and grammatical errors inherent in certain spoken regional dialects will irritate him until he finally crashes his head through the cubicle wall, roars, and eats the poor soul who happened to be sitting in the next cubicle.

AFK

when someone asks me if they can ask a question I say no and stare at them.   :|

That, at least, is par for the course here.
Still, I'm fond of idioms, entendre, puns, and poor grammar in mah spe-ach whenever possible, as long as it makes a point or is humorous.

Redundancy, especially with the accusational tone of some folk, is a K.A.M.F. offense.

This is text format, I'm fairly certain that's impossible.
