>"Have got": past participle or whatever; "do have": present tense. That's yours, the original introduction of mixed tenses.

"have got" is present tense, "had got" is the past tense

>it's a perfectly valid use

also expected

>"this is exactly how that word is supposed to be written"

you're meant to leave the supposed error in situ, not replace it with your supposed correction YAWN

>"this is exactly how you wrote it, you numbskull "

I don't understand this, but couldn't care less now

it's been like teaching a backwards child - you belong there more than I

your life is boring. I accept your concession

This:

>>>> Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought.

Was my own usage of it in the correct form, hence the second sense of sic, "this is how it's supposed to be written" -- not the first sense, pointing out an error. Sheesh, your reading comprehension really is below-third-grade, isn't it? Or is it just that you have the attention span of a gnat on crack? Probably both.

> your life is boring.

Only to the extent that you persist in crashing into it. Please stop that.

> I accept your concession

So, no, you lost again. Now grow up PDQ, or POAD.

wow, your desperation has no limits it seems

thank goodness I never suffered an American "education"

so I'm to blame for you biting off more than you can chew

My exasperation has no limits.

So you think I did?

There, let's hope the bot stays stuck in that loop.

clearly the former

>So you think I did?

that's quite philosophical - do simpletons suffer..?

I neither enjoyed nor suffered an American education.

Nor did I have one I was indifferent to.

Maybe that's why I'm better at English than you.

then where on Earth did you pull that definition for sic from? it's neither on Wiktionary nor in the OED

I'm sure you think you're good at a lot of things and are better than everybody else, but the facts will tell a different story
