SEE seeking.....

ILI

I don't mean it to make it sound like a dating advert....I just don't know any REAL LIFE ILI's and...I don't know, perhaps I need to talk to an e-ILI.

Where is you?

Director Abbie · 03-19-2010, 08:04 PM

Makes sense. I only know two or three in real life, but they seem to be a lot more common online.

Proper English requires the verb form "are" to be used here, rather than "is".

Unless she was asking for the location of the word "you," in which case she should have used quotation marks.

They are all around you. Duals are those we tend to overlook until and unless somehow circumstances throw us into prolonged contact. People tend to forget this. They are in Church, in school, in business, among pizza delivery guys, everywhere.

A trick that kind of worked for me in picking out duals was to tally up acquaintances based on photos from Facebook and other places and consciously pick out those I had a natural tendency to overlook. Those who were kind of part of a gray background.

After a while I could suddenly see whole clusters of same-quadra people and relationships, including duals.

Formal English does, yes. However, I'm sure there was a point she was trying to make that could be best communicated using informal English.

Perhaps it was to trap Grammar Nazi ILIs.

I think she's just attempting to be cute with the improper grammar

.

It makes sense for an SEE.

And you can find ILI's best in the role of master pimp. We have a lot of ladies so I hope you have a good resume and qualifications for such a prestigious position.

I suggest you give up on your coping mechanism / fantasy of a world where someone loves you.

ILIs are a hoax created by the Microsoft corporation. They do not exist as they are actually bits of AI posing on cyberspace as advanced forms of human consciousness.

I don't know if you're in uni or not, but you could try clubs or social groups of some sort where an ILI here and there could be found. Even if it's just a friend, a dual is better than no dual, ne?

Unless she was asking for the location of You, as in "You" being the proper name of someone, in which case she ought to have used a capital "Y"...

Unless my theory wins; she wasn't attempting formal English and there only error is attempting to analyze her text out of its context.

But it does seem to be a good way to meet people.

Definitely! I think she was just being cute, as was said, yeah... ;-)

I'm sure there's some way that this is Ni-dual seeking.

greenantler · 03-20-2010, 03:22 AM

Q:Where is you?
A:Me is here.

That's what my answer would be anyway.

agree in theory.

how could an SEE possibly fade into a gray background, though? they're like the easiest type to spot in the entire socion!

is it more Ni-dual seeking than any other sort of general dual seeking?

Grammar is related more to

than to

.

aixelsyd · 03-21-2010, 12:44 AM

I am quite familiar with the use of improper grammar to add a level of cheekiness to an otherwise uncheeky subject line. And I do it myself.

Can I has some Se, plz? Pweeeeeeese....?

Or: SEE:

Me: GIVE
