Now we've done the annual 'my English is better than you're English', should we resurrect the 'I'm great at my job and fat verses I can't do my job because I'm fit' thread?

I do understand that the 'mistakes' I highlighted were deliberate, but I don't understand what 'I'm great at my job and fat verses I can't do my job because I'm fit' is meant to mean even if corrected.It might come to me in a blinding flash of light later!

The English language is a wonderful thing and has changed much since William Shakespeare bashed out the odd sonnet and will continue to do so in the future ... so the next time someone displeases you I suggest we all revert to the age old insult of ...
"I bite my thumb at thee!" ... might confuse the Air Traffickers

An attempt by a language teacher at my South Wales school over xx?? years ago trying to explain verb declension.
He translated into local valley language, "It is not me" :-
Snommee
Snorrere
snorrhymn
Snorewe
Snorremm
Snorruss
and we worry about there, their or they're!
