    Uh, fucking no, you're absolutely wrong. "Their" is used to show possession. "They're" is a contraction of "they are".
    "There" isn't limited to location. "There are many possible uses of the word 'there'."

    See Gibbon? He's really quite touchy on grammar, which is probably why Imperial reported him.

    I think the forums should have a grammar lesson thread.

    Nobody would use it, they'd fear the scrutiny of Kali.

    Shit. I have it way over my head.

    The only excuse I have is that where you are, Kali, it is (around) five hours behind us. I'm tired. Other than that, you are a literary god and I regret ever getting on your shit-list.

    I believe grammatical would be more fitting than literary. Also, I believe 'God' is a proper noun.

    Probably because they don't like being humiliated, especially during debates. Something like that. Although it could be because it hurts their feelings, if Imperial really did report Kali for being so pedantic about grammar.

    Now that I can quite happily disagree with. I am calling Kali a god. Not the God.

    Which, I will take the time to add, doesn't exist.

    It's not about empirical evidence. Nor is it about who, or what, Kali is. It's about what I am descibing Kali as at this point in time.

    As for the wiki page, it's the wiki. There are many facts and many opinions on the wiki. The latter outweighs the former.

    It was before your time kid, back when Kali was Kalalification and hadn't been promoted. There was a poll with options such as Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Divine Command and others. I think Kali was the OP.

    Good luck with that.

    As for you, Gibbon, you are clearly wrong.
