    I would be much delighted to remind you that the first clause, which, from your perspectives, should be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma, is normally referred to by English learners around the world as an "introductory clause" and see that young generations remain adherent to the codes taught to them by pedagogues well attuned to modern disciples of the language, and I would also opt to pronounce my inexplicable honor to be able to seize this opportunity to inform you, my friends, with contrition and a sense of penitence too far beneath the honesty threshold to be assessed as an unctuous expression of repentance regarding the mishaps I have, due to my intrinsic predilection towards pleonasm in its most licentiously aggravated display, wrought upon those who favor coherence over fecundity, that I have long been a staunch advocate of an unwritten set of grammatical codes practiced by many of the greatest writers of our times such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Agatha Christine, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Stephen King, ... and many more who, unto my narrow experience with literature of old, knew not of any reason why they would have to be as captious and fastidious as to incorporate a comma into their beautifully literary grandeur when its absence would present an obstacle no greater than a fish in its school to their faithful readers.

    dont ask, the answer will come in the form of ancient Greek encrypted by brailles code described by french in morse code written in perfect order to appear like some english

    @isara: i would love to explain to you how your "faithful readers" simply do not exist and how your choice of synonyms, while generally means the same as more commonly used words, is not very well practised because of your lack of understanding of true meaning of words that which cannot fit in the particular context above.
    Of not it would not be a discouragement of practising, but an encouragement of carefulness

    Well the result was worth the physical and mental suffering I imposed upon myself as the graders generously gave me a nine, but that was four years ago when I would prefer concision to the urge to spew out every single word I know.

    It pains me greatly to have to remind you that I was not, in my text, and will not be, as insolent as to arrogate to myself the privilege of having a plethora of "faithful readers", which in my opinion is exclusive to those who have surmounted the zenith of their respective genre.
    And also, I would be enlightened to hear your explanation.

    Oh of course! Please pardon my equivocality. I would never mean to note you as arrogant; but a more detailed explanation must wait, I'm afraid, for now I am charged with the responsibility of running rep racing cars, which will be very time consuming.

    i just realized a reason I found so many posts here tl,dr is the lack of punctuation which made them so confusing.

    Anyway, just wondering, if you are mentally attached to a fictional character (or a K-pop idol, which essentially is the same thing), are you considered FA? Because the gratification one's imagination can bring is pretty...

    Well, please exempt me from the matter of courtesy. I will get straight to the point by noting some of the synonyms which, while remaining generally similar in meanings, were not very well used in the context.
    The first word I marked is 'pedagogue'. It implies a sense of boasting or self-overconfidence about one's knowledge and therefore should be avoided when the language we are using is surely one of politeness.
    Another one is 'disciples'. While also meaning 'followers', the word is only applicable for followers of a person with a particular set of beliefs - as in religions and politics - thus inappropriate to call followers of a style of language.
    A small point, too, as we are speaking English, it is preferable if my dear sir would like to use 'honour' instead of 'honor'.
    I would also like to address the word 'unctuous', which, although suggests insincerity, is only of utility in moderating a praise of friendliness - according to the famous Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary 8 - and not an expression of repentance.
    I hope you, my kind sir, would pardon my ignorance, as I could not understand how 'licentiously', an adverb to expressing something as sexually immoral, can fit with 'aggravated'. Even another meaning of the adverb - found on wiktionary.org - which says 'disregarding accepted rules' would not fit, as a display would not be very much of a strict rules.
    And 'fecundity'. I found this word not too well put. Maybe it is only my personally feeling towards the text, but, excuse me, the productivity it suggests is not one of the traits of your texts. In fact, I found it more an amusing idea and posing a challenge to improve my vocabulary. (I must admit the rules of parallel ideas were not strictly observed in the sentence, but the solution is beyond my ability)

    That is it, all I want to note about your choice of words, unless somebody else seems to think calling J.R.R. Tolkien or Sir Conan Doyle writers of our times is a unreasonable. As to whether those you named actually wrote without much attention to details such as a comma after an introductory clause is not for me to decide, as I am not very familiar with their works. Therefore I will leave the matter for other friends of our here who would be willing to verify the idea.

    No shit bro. Did you look up all those words? I do know their general meaning, but there is no way in hell I can know the implications of such obscure words.

    Nah, you should think of it like this: You implement the character inside you. IF the character is, actually a FA; you might be considered one :-?..

    I'm actually wanted myself to become some badass motherf*cker like Rance, and I might say I'm pretty a tough-ass outside the real-world. So it just make you have some image to overcome your true-self I guess :-?..

    And not just that one, I thinks you should have more than one character in your head, so that you could implement the various good/cool side of them, make it yours :-?.. Just like Ozymandias from Watchmen, he surf everything in random and create in his head the best information possible about the future, which make him the worst "vilian" possible 8-}...

    But, I think you'll become a FA if the term "mentally atttached" become "idolizing"; then you'll pretty much just look-up at them, but learnt nothing :7cool_spiderman:

    - - - Updated - - -

    Nah, read his post. Clearly he surf the net for those infor and group them up with his speak, which's kind of a pretty good way to pratice English I guess :-?..
