Knowledge comes from learning, wisdom comes from age.

wise_evian · April 8th, 2004

It seems my A's in english 101,102 dont reflect on this board. Forgive me, I shall strive to become worthy of your eyes. Well I must agree wisdom comes with age and while my age isnt very high I am trying my best to learn all I can by reading books, reading online articles etc.. The one issue I can honestly say I have a problem with is focusing on one genre of study. For example I major in programming but cannot stop myself from being a amateur photographer or bodybuilder. I love all of these but cannot focus on one alone. any suggestion?

Syed Fawad · April 8th, 2004

A's in english?

I have seen people on this board who don't have English as their primary language, yet they "speak" it perfectly. Try to be like them

I will be myself thank you very much

Yeah, proper grammar doesn't hurt. Using proper grammar not only makes your posts more respectable, it also makes you look smart

. Except for certain online acronyms(AFAIK, BTW, LOL, etc.), I try to avoid any strange writing. Maybe I'm a bit stereotypical, but when I look at posts that don't use caps in proper places and correct punctuation, I think "Aw, geez, yet another 12-year old AOL user"

. Of course, people will make occasional typos, but doing it all the time i just... ick. That doesn't apply to everyone though. I know a few intelligent people on this board that have horrid grammar(No, I'm not mentioning names

). Okay, think I went on a little too long about that. Anyways, I don't mean offense to anyone with this. I'm just telling my views.

wise_evian · April 9th, 2004

Superb grammer only manifests itself with me when genius' are in the area. Since this is a forum of "no offense" meaningless babble: I usually do not care about my English here. Since I am Israeli I could say that English is not my native language, but instead Hebrew. I wont say that because I dont consider that an excuse being educated in the USA; however I will acknowledge your opinions on the terms of respect and practice better english. Peace.

You're not alone, dude. If people don't use commas when they should I get pissy...

LOL @ the fine specimen of English paragraph!

That's quite correct. Punctuation is damn important.

DontBeAfraid · April 10th, 2004

i really dont think it matters...... if we both know that the '...''s represent a pause in the speech then it reads the same whether he uses a coma or three dots. ...and starting with three dots reads better than starting with a coma and is used to indicate that you may be adding on to a thought or idea from your previous sentence.

In the sentence:
"If people dont use commas when they should I get pissy."
You forgot the comma after 'should'. You could just as realistically use three dots and it would read the same.

When the pot calls the kettle black... I get pissy.

bcrew1375 · April 10th, 2004

Geez, I should've known. I shouldn't have said anything. I wasn't pointing fingers at anybody, I was just stating my opinion. Sorry, I didn't mean to make anyone angry. Can we just please drop it and not start a flame war?

Edit: Also, I'm not trying to make myself look good. I type the way I do just because I always have, not to make myself look smarter than everyone else. I guess the reason it annoys me is because it reminds me of newbs and stupid AOL users. Again, sorry if I made anyone mad.

**hushypushy** · April 10th, 2004

it's ok Bcrew, everyone knows that AOLers still suck

i was an AOLer at one time too, and in those days, i was a total douche....and look where i'm at now; just a partial douche

perhaps so, but how do we communicate over here? with telepathy?

btw, I'll often omit the ' in (for example) don't. ;P ...if that bothers people, I'll try not to omit it.

Well in this case I meant that saying that I'll do something won't make a difference unless someone does it. Actually I know you got my point, but nice teasing
