LETTER OF THE WEEK (with corrections and comments written in bold letters enclosed in parenthesis)
sent through email by: i'll not say cos it'll embarrass him/her.
Couple of things you must know and apparently, you must.
1. Ever read the book 'How to write an acrimonious review'? No, I bet you didn't(NOTE: should be ‘haven’t’). It was never written. Never will be, you know why? Because it would be dumb. But (insert the word ‘that’s’ here)something that you would probably do, obviously. You have enough of those reviews to make you a book, best seller in the catergory 'Asininity Awards'. Something like Darwin Awards, only much more ludicrous.
2. If you think writing up fics is a real waste of time, think of it this way.
-I've written a fic. Improved my ever so disgusting vocabulary. Increases (should be increased)my imagination span(remove this unnecessary word). I'll be able to then grow up maturely to take in 'CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM'(should be CRITICISM), please note that I will be saying this in a very DUH way. There is much difference between contructive (should be ‘constructive’)and destructive. Kinda like plate boundaries. But then again, you must already know this since you're on your way to writing(write would be the more suitable word) your second book in the series of best sellers in 'Asininity Awards'. Title? Don't know, don't really give a shit. But there you go. Then I get to meet people like you on the net.
-But you on the other hand, my darling reviewer who has so far written 2 best sellers. (Unforgivably erroneous punctuations blunt my understanding) whom everyone by the way. (forgive his punctuations, he’s still amateur) has acquiesced (could’ve simply said ‘agreed’)after cogitating for heaven knows how long (yes, you ask why I say cogitate? Because we are nice people unlike some unmentionables... our earnestness to help you solve your little problem) (you think being a sociopath is a small problem?) that you are but a lonely soul (just to put things kindly) who has obviously nothing better to do. Unable to write long excerpts maybe..(writing excerpts would be plagiarism because it is defined as ‘extracts from published materials’) or just in envy. Its (this should be considered as the indicative ‘it’s’ and not the possessive its) hard to say because you do not mention why so its (again the same mistake) best to guess in situations like these. But you contain so much anger in you, so much spite that you desire attention from us writers. (what’s the point of this sentence anyway? Wow, you’re so set on defining yourself as a writer. Not to be rude or derogatory, I don’t consider myself as a writer but I do make better flames than you make stories or letters. Whatcha make of that?) So here. I've give(‘given’ not ‘give) you your attention (hey, it’s my attention. I don’t need anyone to give it to me.). Do you need anything else? Have I wasted enough of your time?
Want to review this review on your reviews? I bet you do. Then I'll bet you are considering emailing me back to tell me on my overuse(overused would suit it more aptly, everybody supposes) and dissonant pieces of vocabulary here and there. Then you'll tell me that 'Oh you actually bothered to write this email to me?'(Nah, I didn’t say this. I just smiled and felt amused.). But after saying this, you'll probably then (Redundancy! You don’t need ‘then’ when the word ‘after’ is already there)think, 'why should I reply, he/she's probably expecting one. Let's give it a little element of surprise by not replying.' but afer (after, rather) reading this, you'll think to yourself. 'WHAT DO I DO?'
3.email or not (insert correct punctuation here) it doesn't matter. Just do us a little favor. Pretend you have a brain darling or not possible (i understand that for someone like you, it serves to be quite difficult) then please kindly remove yourself from our polluted gene pool.(confusion of verbs, kindly rephrase)
'Brother, remove the plank from your eye before you tell me to remove the splinter in mine.'
(In simpler terms; if you’re gonna call anyone crappy, make sure you are not first!)

MY REPLY
1. You wrote; 'Couple of things you must know and apparently, you must'
My answer; You could've just said,' things you must know', because APPARENTLY, what you wrote is not merely a couple of things. And since you have already stated that I must know it, you need NOT expand that APPARENTLY I should know it, this is what one may call overemphasis. (apparent means evident, apparently. you might suspect that I must have looked it up in the dictionary, surprise! I did)
Aboot (I'm Canadian, so instead of aboot, i pronounce it as aboot. Is that ok with you? I know writing is different from speaking actually but i'm more comfortable this way. pardon me in that case.)...aboot this nonexistent book, you want me to write it? i'd gladly do that especially for precious you, but whatever made you think that i will write such. More than likely, you are trying to imply that i'm DUMB which is undeniably a fact. But at least i know how to use the words 'apparent' and 'a couple', unlike you. So that just puts me one notch above your mental capability. Nope, i haven't enough reviews to make a book out of them because as you've noticed, my reviews are more or less occupying only 3 pages and obviously a book can cover a hundred or so leaves. So that just gives me a conclusion that you haven't read or even seen a book. And I'd be much obliged to receive this certain asininity award you're talking aboot. And since you've foreseen that it's gonna be a bestseller then, am i right in thinking that a lot out there are much dumber than i am for buying it. I also like the fact that's it ludicrous; kinda adds to the comic factor, and as you know i love entertaining people.
2. Learn how to use commas. I congratulate you that you improved your ever so disgusting vocabulary because trust me, it's rather abysmal. Uhmmm, speaking of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM, i haven't heard of it. But i have indeed heard of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, EVEN MORE SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DESTRUCTIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE (NOT CONTRUCTIVE AS YOU TYPED THERE) and i'd like to tell you that since I am an oversized nincompoop in a pair of pyjamas, i didn't get the point of asking aboot constructive and destructive, and this plate boundaries you talked aboot because you failed to stress the details(or the gist) that would give a rational statement why you had to lecture me aboot all that. To begin with, my review is a FLAME. what i don't understand is that you have to confuse between constructive and destructive when plainly a flame is DESTRUCTIVE in all angles. I reviewed your work because it needs telling and repair. And i'm not yet on my way to writing my second book because i HAVEN’T written my first, so what are the possibilities that it IS already a bestseller when it does NOT exist. D’you know your numericals? Never mind. But then you wrote; '....who has written 2 bestsellers.' Again i don't want to stress the point, but may i tell you something? There's a lesson in high school that tackles on organization of ideas, yours are scattered all over this page that i can't quite grasp the various sentiments because in the preceding paragraph you said that i was still on my way to writing it then suddenly, on the next you stated that i've already written it. so are you trying to imply that between reading those two paragraphs i was able to write a book, i mean two books? not to mention publish it and in not more than five minutes, became bestsellers? i have a feeling that you DON’T even know your time table. anyhow, just because you people cogitate, DOESN'T mean you're nice people because it simply means to ponder or to think. Hitler, Stalin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Kaganovich, Molotov and every other mass murdering bastard did 'cogitate' before subjecting their victims to death. The point? so they must be nice people. Thank you for trying to help me from the malignant chronic illness of my cerebrum that's been poisoning me and my LONELY soul who has obviously nothing good to do. I can't quite imagine a soul doing anything because it just harbors inside my body and nothing more. and so does yours and everybody else's. I'm not catholic so don't talk me out of souls and spirits. Yes, i contain so much anger in me because when i was 5 years old, i raped our neighbor's donkey and was imprisoned in a remote camp in kayafardo, brazil where wardens rape you back 568990 times a minute for bestiality. That didn't end there, after my term which lasted 3 years, i committed another heinous crime by blowing up lyndon johnson's brain with a .45 calibur and whipping his 7 bodyguards to death via use of a chopsticks dipped in uranium. i was only 8 and hunted by the highest ranking investigation officers in canada. even the KGB wanted my extradition from my own country because i was a secret Nazi agent from germany who stole the russian archives that revealed trotsky's proceedings. right now i'm again imprisoned, this time in vulagulo islands prison camp where you eat rotten banana a week and no water (you drink your own urine here) i pleaded guilty for molesting 3975 baby pigs in california state. so i guess life is so unkind to me.
you wrote something aboot me being envious, being envious of, say, writers who don't know their own vocabulary, time table and arrangement of ideas. i'm not really sure maybe i am because you have your free life and all, while i'm confined in a hell's pit. but one thing's certain, i'd rather rot here than use the words COGITATE and ASININITY and BESTSELLER and DESTRUCTIVE and CONSTRUCTIVE without even looking it up in the dictionary and to be the butt of jokes. And i don't even want to talk aboot redundancy, and your so called dissonance and overuse (YOU SHOULD HAVE ENTAILED THE WORD OVERUSE WITH A D; SEE YOUR LETTER FOR POST EDITING). I suggest you ask a linguist to try to fathom your heavily dispersed ideas. Please explain the phrase, enlighten me if you will: 'it's hard to say because you do not mention why so its best to guess in situations like these.' i have an inkling that you assume too much, but hey you're right that i'm a pathetic piece of stinking crap cos i'm holing up in this hole in a cruel prison. Yes, i do want your attention because i don't get any from my parents who are away in MARS right now riding in cassandra 43, columbia's latest shuttle. My siblings, however, were annihilated by the holocaust in the 1940's, so they're all 6 feet under and all of my other relatives were impaled by Vlad Tepes Dracula, the great impaler and leader of revolutionary uses for lard in the 17th century. and yeah, i don't get any attention so i'm telling the world the crimes i've committed so i'll grace the cover of new york times. Yet, they are still to uncover my most grisly crime; FLAMING. Be there when i launch the book because i need attention. I want attention from you because you tell me what to do and you enlighten me with your og mandino/ paulo coelho/ mitch albom, heart warming, psychological, how-to-be-confident, don't-be-down, here's-what-to-do-when-you're-screwed lessons. so i need your attention badly to be noticed because nobody pays me heed and people are not even affected by me because i'm not worth your ass...shit, i'm being repetitive like you. Ain't i? i wonder if poor grammar and sentence construction are contagious. what are you? an imbecile or a resident of any, say, secluded country (though i suppose you're both)? but if i learn that you're an american or a briton or an aussie, i'll be bloody numbed, shiela.
you want an element of surprise? or just a surprise? here it is, your brilliantly composed letter on my profile. like it? nah, bet you love that.
your letter is so delicately magnificent and is very rich in intricate artistry that others may not appreciate it. so to enlighten them i'm gonna give you examples of the kind of brilliance this piece emits. Imagine the subtle splendor of a 400 pound guy with a mustache wearing Cowboy Bebop's Faye Valentine's outfit and the complex artistry in a driftwood with Winnie the Pooh's underwear carved on it.
penultimatum; pretend that i have a brain. There are two arguments involved here, one is; since you're presuming that i don't have a brain, it would be so inconsiderate of you to order me to pretend that i should have a brain. to begin with, a person will not be able to follow any ordain if he/she doesn't have brains. so what you're asking me is not just impossible but improbable. why? because there's nothing to order in the first place for there is an absence of rationale to be obtained from the nonexistent brain that you want me to have. note that a human is a mere exterior without the mind, since the heart is fictional. Secondly; the alternative is you assume that i have a brain given the fact that you're commanding me to pretend. That would only mean that you're wasting your energy in telling me what to do, that is, to have a brain, since you already know that i do have one. otherwise you don't have the required common sense to recognize any piece of subsistent information that's so prevalent in this world. Don't you know your elementary anatomy? Each human is provided with a brain lest he's an amoeba or protist which is composed of a single cell only. Or maybe you are one, i don't know. finally, how can i biologically remove my self in the human gene pool? because why? i'm in the superior area and i'd gladly do that if you give yourself a reality check on your classification. christ knows if you're included among those that are swarming with cow droppings in them, you know, the proverbial banana peel. And oh by the way, since you said that maybe i can't write anything, please read my upcoming fic which i will upload in no time. and feel free to leave heartening, inspiring, reviews. and email me next time aboot it and make a constructive criticism that defines the gap between constructive and destructive. Thank you for understanding my pathetic, unnecessary, god forsaken existence.
note: my faculties are so limited that I couldn’t capitalize letters when necessary.
