-KH, the humanist that he is, construes BC's statement as having the less retarded meaning (being a mistake in fact rather than an inability to understand simple sentences), but realizes within a minute or so that BC may IN FACT be that big a moron and posts an addendum
-BC begins to scoot and scurry about in order to avoid having to admit that he's a moron
Being both a ****** and disingenuous in the same thread is a neat trick.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

These are a family of languages descending from Latin (French, Spanish, Italian, etc...)
Maybe this is how you got confused.
