TJ Perry Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 [quote name='DizzyGuy'][quote name='TJ Perry'][quote name='skimo']yeah just let me know when your done playing School House Rock teacher[/quote] Oh sweet you found the shift key.[/quote] TJ, this is the internet. Get used to people fucking up grammar and the like.[/quote] I know but he doesn't understand the difference between the shift and space key. I just think when you type like that you sound like a complete moron. What good is an idea if you cannot communicate it iclearly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCShisha Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Enough already; Skimo is definitely on the mark saying that this is an internet forum so no one needs to communicate perfectly. That said, making an effort to communicate in a clear and effective manner makes you look like you give a shit about what you are trying to say. Don't be surprised if people don't take you seriously when they read half-garbled posts full of spelling mistakes but by the same token, don't criticize someone for their posting habits because no one cares. If you can't stand reading poorly formed posts, ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well since you presented yourself in that manner I'll have to agree with your post. I'll start posting with better grammer and spelling, but I can't spell to well so you'll have to bare with me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Google is your friend... more specifically... if you are unsure, type the word into google and see the right spelling I've used that trick many a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 TJ, normally I avoid these types of threads, but for a new member with 51 posts you seem really critical of an established member who has over 700 posts that conbtribute to the forum. Lets try and keep it friendly, OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 i love internet arguments, there about as pointless as what this argument is about but back to the argument XD i gotta agree that it might just be an online forum, but you do usually want to come off as not just some teenage L77t typer wanting attention. Espcially with what i guess was orginally a kind of serious topic in your mind, wanting to ask a hookah buisness owner about inside tips of getting a job, in the buisness. So i think that would have been a place you would want to have come off as smart at, but call me crazy like that XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Where's an admin when you need one? I disappeared for a couple of days and I come back to find this. Icky! I attended a lot of school and I've had friends from many walks of life, I'm not to say a snob, I would like to think. Maybe I am, I can't really see backwards, if you know what I mean. When I type things, I attempt to type in a clear manner. If somebody else wants to communicate in a style to connote something, thats fine too. Should we dig James Joyce up and slap him around "Why didn't you use proper punctuation in Ulysses? Why?" Skimo wouldn't be Skimo unless he typed how he wanted to. How we express ourselves tells alot about ourselves. Skimo can type whatever way he want to, as far as I am concerned. Everybody can...as long as they are respectful to other people and follow the rules. Being respectful is in the rules, coincedentally. I feel some parties in this matter are just being nasty. One of the few things I never had much tolerance for is being mean to people who aren't as smart or educated or as good at language or as privileged as other people. Just because one person is better off than another person doesn't mean they have to rub in the other person's face. So tone it down. Skimo: You can do anything you want to...you just have to go in the direction you know you need to go with something you are focused on. Be motivated, be determined be resolute and you will do well. People used to laugh at me when I brought my bowls in. They'd say "They look nice, but they're too expensive." My aunts thought they were candlestick holders. So, needless to say I sold my aunts candlestick holders that doubled as hookah bowls. Dealing with people ridiculing you or laughing at you is part of it. If you have an idea, ask people who know if its a good idea or not...people you trust. The most brilliant minds are the most easily misunderstood. Run with your idea now or go to college for business or engineering. Does that answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
