Specific examples.. Ok, how about your usage of {Hech}. I pointed this out
once before, but I don't know if you noticed it. You might write something
like {"surgery" Hech Haq} for "{Haq} means surgery." But that's not what
{Hech} really means. It means "intend, mean to."
Despite your status as pabpo', you screw up just as much as anyone might, not
because of ignorance to the rules, but simple carelessness. In your
flame-conversation in which you chewed out Nick, you did some rather appaling
things, e.g., two suffixes of the same type on one word, suffixes out of
order, things of that nature.
