So says the guy who thinks "PotatoEs." is a sentence.

In a vain attempt to save face in a light hearted manner, he's alluding to the fact that you capitalized the 'e' in 'potatoes'.

   

This is a forum If grammer and spelling is expected to be on target with every post , then maybe we need to be using Microsoft Office for every post , or promote you to spleling and gramma har police I caught what you were saying when you posted it although I was talking rather than writing
I was educated in Alberta and attended the School of Fine Arts and was also awarded for some of my writing . Hard to believe isn't it . I'm lazy almost middle aged and frankly don't give a crap anymore , but of course I do smarten up when people get on my case enough .

   

It was for emphasis and "potatoes" can be construed as a sentence in the context of elliptical construction as evidenced by the posters previous imperative.

Further, I don't know if the attempt was all that "vain".

BTW, in Canada we still spell it capitaliSed.

   

Well, you certainly missed it.

   

Just having some fun with you so don't get your panties in a knot. But you spelled it wrong several times as did other posters and this transcends a typo or laziness. You should be grateful that I am not only educating you politically but now grammatically. Most people have to pay good money for a tutor.

Seriously though, stop doing it.

   

Is this your "vain" attempt?

   

If you were intending to make a point regarding my use of the word "vain", I'm afraid it's in vain.

   

Fine .
For you I will try to remember , but don't think you know that much about politics . You would be amazed at how wrong everyone on every forum is about politics , especially and or including those who use every peice of evidence they can find . Go back and read our freindly little discussion about Saskatchewan and then sit back and contemplate what we discussed and then tell me who is right There is a good chance you will discover neither is .
By the way , Do you waste potatoes ?

   

That's a fairly vain conclusion to draw.

Vain: marked by futility or ineffectualness.

Oh, come on, is this any less valuable a use of the forum than "Word Association Fest"?

   

No, but I think it's ridiculous how certain people come into a thread and not only take it thoroughly off topic, but manage to rile up a lot of people in the process.

   

True enough; there's much more to discuss on the topic of peeling potatoEs without this little digression

Excuse me while I go and cool down... I was out of control there for a minute, and my heart is still racing.

   

This thread is getting Starchy Pun intended

I think the reason for it is because GFPB just can't admitt that he wastes potato(es)

GFPB , stop wasting potatoes , seriously .
