If you're wearing leather chaps that have a butt, then you're wearing leather PANTS.

A bit of both. You are expected to tip your waiter generously, but make sure you give an even greater tip to your escort at the end of the evening, or else she'll bust your knee caps.

So whenever I'm on a date, the waitresses and sometimes waiters are really nice usually flirt a little when my dates go to the bathroom but when I go out with a friend they pay no attention to me. Is this a blatant attempt to extort large tippage from me because of the reduced risk of my flirting back, are they all in cahoots and if I were to flirt back my date would be immediately notified and come back only to throw my drink in my face, or do women only find me attractive when they know they can't have me?

But, yeah, I guess, they must figure "well he looks like this and is out with HER, he must have something big in his pants or wallet".

Perhaps you were not aware of this fact, possibly because your level of education never exceeded that of a ninth grader or perhaps you have somehow avoided the educational system entirely, but a sentence does not become a run-on sentence merely because the reader is incapable of grasping the thought it is conveying as a result of the author's decision not use a more terse or concise language or to break said sentence up into more easily digestible fragments and it is entirely possible to write a sentence several thousand words long that is still grammatically correct.

But my previous post in this thread actually wasn't an attack. I thought it was amusing that you made your first post two sentences. I commented on that. It wasn't mean-spirited. It wasn't angry.

I'm going to have to agree with Chix/Janey on this. Grammar, especially in the English language, is largely interpreted not by just rules but also by accepted usage. While you can find technicalities that allow you to create Dickens-esque sentences, there are also common usage "rules" that dictate that such sentences are awkward and incorrect. Even Microsoft grammar checker red lines sentences that are -technically- correct, but are gauche nonetheless.

I'm pretty sure neither of them said that.

While you can find technicalities that allow you to create Dickens-esque sentences, there are also common usage "rules" that dictate that such sentences are awkward and incorrect. Even Microsoft grammar checker red lines sentences that are -technically- correct, but are gauche nonetheless.

First, it isn't a technicality to adhere to the rules set forth that permit such sentences.

Second, "rules" are not rules, they are what your 3rd grade teacher requires you to do so that it makes her job easier because she finds them awkward and will mark them incorrect. Just because someone is only familiar with or capable of grasping a subset of a common language, does not make usage of techniques outside of the subset wrong, it simply exemplifies their ignorance and unwillingness to grow beyond their narrow minded perspective.
