Hey, we can only make suggestions. If Brujaja doesn’t have the time or interest in attending to what can reasonably done, then we’re just at YET ANOTHER thread where the OP asks for advice then dismisses everything.
Not like we haven’t seen that 1,000 times in the past on this board. Usually those go several pages before the Mods step in and close them.
Which nobody asked for.
He is doing what can reasonably be done. Just because you think reporting the problem is the righteous thing to do doesn’t mean it’s actually a good suggestion.
Yeah, gosh, horrible that someone posts their own standalone thread and gets suggestions on how to deal with it, right? :rolleyes:
If she wasn’t asking for suggestions, this should have just gone into the June mini-rants thread.
Good thing you’re here to be the OP’s champion white knight.
:dubious:
Yes, and it’s a good thing you’re here to guide us as to which forum we should put our threads.
Nothing wrong with making suggestions. But this thread was clearly a rant, not a request for help. Getting bent out of shape because unsolicited advice isn’t immediately acknowledged or accepted is silly.
What? Why? The Pit is, among other things, the place for ranting. Those mini-rant threads( that didn’t exist until a few years ago )don’t have any official status for anything and there is no accepted practice about them.
Exactly.
Exactly *2.
Additionally, it was shitty advice, which was explained before you posted your oh-so-helpful advice a second time. You obviously have absolutely no clue regarding Section 8 housing, especially in a tight, overpriced market. And you seemingly know shit about elder care, else you might understand both the physical and emotional toll that brujaja’s client would likely undergo should the apartment be declared uninhabitable. But boy, would that show the landlord. :rolleyes:
There is. Both Mandarin and Cantonese, the two Chinese languages Americans are most familiar with, are tonal and as such, it is very important that ia conversation be loud enough that the pitch can be easily distinguished. They carry this over when they learn English.
One project I worked on had a Chinese immigrant engineer. I couldn’t count the number of times in the lab the phone would ring, whoever answered it would put the receiver to their ear only to recoil, yanking it away to slowly bring it back until it was about six inches away. “What’d Feng want now?”
Thai, Vietnamese, Lao, Punjabi, and Navajo are tonal languages, but I’m not aware of speakers of these languages yelling a lot.
