You're most likely the same person, or you are just as foolish to defend someone like him. I'll admit: I'm grammar challenged, but the rules of the English Language change so often that such a state differs from being illiterate.

'Your' was a typo. You are correct in pointing that out.

'Your kind infest the world and, like a parasite, feast on the living Word of others while producing nothing of your own' is correct because: 'feast on the living Word of others while producing nothing of your own' is not an independent clause; therefore, you should not put a comma before the 'and'.

I capitalized 'Word' because it is the living Word and the capitalization signifies a greater meaning. Read some of Emily Dickinson's poetry and you'll understand what I was trying to imply.

You think your remarks are witty,
but it is you, sir, who is illiterate.

Again, I apologize for the misuse of the comment box. This shall be the last instance that this takes place. Humbly yours- Orran Ainmire

I love you, Whitt Bell. Gary Soto is horrible because he writes meaningless crap that doesn't mean anything.

'it shows that your an illiterate twit'
Should be 'you're'

'Your kind infest the world and, like'
Should be 'Your kind infest the world, and, like'

'feast on the living Word of others'
Should be 'feast on the living word of others'

Who's illiterate?
