Rayneuki Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I find it funny really. I missed second grade english... I have no clue what phonics is, why it exists, and how the holy crap it's supposed to make sense. But, one can understand my post, correct? My grandfather can write correctly, he was NEVER schooled, he learned it all from staring at a newspaper three times a day. Seriously guys, some of us aren't as privilaged as you.How about this, if someone types something you can't understand... Either ignore it or ask POLITELY "Hey, can you please re-type that, or run it through a word-program? I can't understand what you're saying." Don't make fun, it actualy hurts some of us... We try really hard.I personaly know someone who can read bianary, without any aid whatsoever... But he can't spell or use grammer whatsoever. Remember, there's a fine line between stupidity and genious... Some of us just straddle that line without realizing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (erufiku @ Nov 20 2008, 11:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>The whole fall of western civilization thing... with a ninja smilie after it. Yeah, you might want to re-read it. I hope that at least the OP understood the humorous character of that last phrase.I don't think you get the point I was making. Most of the posts that really make me want to flame a guy are posted by native English speakers who are using msn-English. I actually think that the non-native speakers' posts are easier on the eyes (and oftentimes also on the brain) than those coming from North American IPs.I'll agree with you on the "don't be a jerk clause"; it is, after all, a hookah forum, not a grammar nazi hideout. And, having individuals that come from all walks of life and social backgrounds, it's only natural that everyone has to make some personal concessions.you'll have to excuse me. i guess i'm fairly new to this forum. now i know that a ninja smilie excuses me when i sound like a.......... okay, we won't go there. ok. that's better. that was a close one. phew!j/kbut i don't need to re-read anything, friend. i get what you are saying. but what i get the most out of your speech was that you appear to be defending yourself.......w/e. doesn't matter anyway.everybody cool?

mushrat Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 heh, nice to see someone keeping me straight.I have just noticed people getting more and more unpleasant about the whole thing. Only posting in a thread to criticise and not to contribute. And I feel there is a difference between gangsta wannabe talk or L33T and simply not being very good at spelling or grammar.And hey, I aint running for office, I can change my mind in 3 years...
