Maybe you haven’t gotten the memo yet - the “illiterate fool” is now posting in standard English in all threads he’s participating in and is apparently quite capable and literate.
Of course, now we’re getting to see who actually reads a thread before posting and who doesn’t.
Because (most) languages have a sort of beauty that makes each language unique. The Gateways of the world want to transform this beauty into “2 4 $1” bargain grocery signs. Standard English is not “tradition for the sake of tradition,” it’s spelling, syntax and grammar that have been evolving for centuries . . . and continue to evolve. Your way, they are DEvolving into baby talk. If your brain is on the same level as a baby’s, that’s your problem, not mine.
I hate when people start being all reasonable and intelligent before I have a chance to pile on them for being stupid and irrational. It just takes all the fun out of this board.
Thank you.
In case the point needs reinforcing, I was finding your questions interesting in theme, but painful to read - which is a shame.
Also: any thread that deviates significantly from board conventions is likely to spiral into a hijack discussion about how it deviates from board conventions, and whatever it was you actually wanted to talk about is lost in amongst all the bitching.
I know, right ? You get your dander all up preparing a choice heap of go-fuck-a-cactus, and then you have to put it back in your pocket or look like an arse yourself. Invectivus interruptus. It’s quite perverse, really.
I’ll go ahead and troll a couple of boards that way right now, sounds hilarious.
as a newbie i find it wildy riveting that 105 posts have been devoted to the topic of a poster’s posting stylee.
why use a cannon to kill a mosquito?
Because that’s how we roll here.
carry on…hilarious.

are you a tefl teacher zoid?’ stylee’ is common parlance in a country other than merka and my shift key is broken fyi.
Because the mosquito really, really pisses us off.
Hey, at least we didn’t nuke it from orbit
there’s a saying, attributed to confucious.
“if you think something small can’t make a difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito.”
i also think you are all feeding his attention seeking, that one poster can rile so many is hilarious. he obviously was trying to stand out, obviously can post in proper engrit not morse code, so he pwned you all.
the meaning of pwned Urban Dictionary: pwned
No
“stylee” does not appear in the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam Webster, or the Cambridge dictionary.
Here is a link to the ASCII character codes you can use until you get a new keyboard.
Both shift keys? Or you could use the Caps Lock key.
such limited dictionary knowledge, it does appear here alas Urban Dictionary: stylee why limit yourself to those three?
oh i just simply hate caplitalizing too but my key really is broken. not stuffing around with the caps lock i may forget to turn it back and end up POSTING LIKE THIS WHICH IS A PAIN IN THE PROVERBIAL. sorry folks.
Urban dictionary? Really? You realize anyone could post an entry for something, like sentrix, and add a meaning like Has no clue. One of the most worthless cites available anywhere on the internet is the urban dictionary.
I admit I was just messing with you.
I don’t really expect you to use the ASCII character map.
‘sentrix’ has an ‘r’ in it. tsk, tsk.
Hey man, so long as you’re cool with the fact that few here will take you seriously so long as you persist with the “oh, well, both of my shift keys are broken and hey what a coincidence because i hate to capitalize anyway and also apparently punctuate but hey here’s a link to urban dictionary proving that there’s one other person on the internet who is as incomprehensible as me” shtick, then rock on.
