I think you are uneducated as you can't distinguish the various uses of 'your' and 'you're'.
Learn to speak like a civilized person before you address me. I've no time for the little people; least of
all, uneducated ones. I also don't give a rat **** what you think of me. All clear on that, junior?

Now that is funny. SpeedByrd has been bitch slapped hard over his own
stupidity. The first thing he does is heads out and trolls others with his
attempts at superiority. Back to the playground Speedy. Deal with your
own issues first. LOL

Surname? Dude, buy a dictionary. As for the reason he's changed the
*title* that goes along with his screen name, I'm guessing it's because
too many people PLONKED him as Dr. Speedbyrd.

Not that it's going to stop me from plonking him AGAIN, though.
