    Fine, fine. As you well know, or you wouldn't have asked, there are extensive tutorials on English grammar on my own site, here[^]. Go on, then. What's the next stage in your highly skilled troll attack?

        Stop joking. Definitely.

        Yes. Why joke when you can seriously insult people?

        The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

            I doubt I'm the man you want to ask about better technique.

              [Bearing in mind that free advice is usually worth every penny you paid for it :)] The only advice I could give is: 1. Follow the rules (if any) of the venue (for example, The Lounge should be kid-sister safe) 2. Know your audience Having said that, in a group as large as Code Project you will always find someone who is offended by a joke, no matter how innocuous. If you wish to make jokes in such a forum, you also have to develop a thick(er) skin.

              If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                        Post your "jokes" on a site where it's not necessary to translate them into English...?

                            Launge rule 7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.

                              Understand that jokes are difficult to translate without losing something. Maybe, just maybe, that's why they fall flat.

                                The most important thing is not to simply repeat/repost the jokes of others. Only post jokes/humor that you yourself devised.
