Talk:Churchill, Oxfordshire

You'd expect someone called Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) to understand what was wrong with "monolith of stone". Complete the following syllogism: If philosophy depends on precise use of language... Jacquerie27 16:51, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, the monolith wasn't found in the nearby wood, it's made of stone found in the nearby wood — hence what I wrote. Most of Jacaquarie27's changes (as with the others he or she has made in his or her mission to discover and edit – with or without snide remarks – my pages, following our disagreement on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jewish ethnocentrism) are merely matters of personal preference as to style; some are genuinely useful; some assume that I'm semi-literate, and thus fail to notice that the change distorts my meaning, the original wording having been carefully chosen (as with the monolith example, "the jumble of imitations", not of different architectural styles), and the windows of the church being based on not copies of Oxford-College windows. I await with breathless excitement the next instalment of this obsessive Wikistalking. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:02, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

...some are genuinely useful... Thanks. I'm not arguing about any of the rest: you're too verbose and know too little about English usage, so I can only repeat my previous advice: read The Guardian less and George Orwell more. ("...obsessive Wikistalking" is another example of tautology, btw.) Jacquerie27 19:13, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
