Oh… I never believe anyone when they say they will never post again, most often they do. Even the same day. L
It’s nice to know that I wasn’t the only person that has been ignored on these boards.
The Stanley Cup: A repeat is in the STARS!
My last post on this topic:
“In Massachusetts, but also elsewhere in New England, the stamp of East Anglia, its people and ideas, was writ large. Map 1.4 shows the imprint of the eastern counties on Massachusetts and Connecticut. Besides the East Anglian town names that cluster in eastern Massachusetts, even the accent has persisted. Linguists identify unmistakable traces of the nasal ‘Norfolk Whine’ in local intonations.”

OgreFade: You seem like a reasonable guy. However, I must say, with all due respect, that your grammar and sentence structure need dramatic improvement.
Unfortunately, bad grammar and composition are markers for trolls. Some people perhaps might seem a little hypersensitive. Personally, I prefer to starve trolls rather than flame them, but that’s just my preference.
I suggest you take an adult education class at your local community college in English Composition. You might also want to buy The Elements of Style, an excellent primer in good composition.
I say this with all due respect; I’m not implying that you’re a bad person, you merely seem to lack a skill. No one expects you to be Hemmingway, but we do think that the lack of basic compositional and grammar skills make interaction more trouble than its worth.
And whether or not you desire to post on this board again, good English Composition skills will, IMHO, enhance your life; they are valuable in their own right.

K this is the last one. I made sure I read a few responces. This won’t turn into a pity party, with the “no one will miss me” attitude.
Just a couple things I want to say. First of all, I type with passion here, I let the grammer fly, and I let the typo’s go by. I really am typing at about 100 words a minute when I post almost anything here.
I didn’t want to threaten anyone, or be a wuss. I just don’t belong here. Maybe I’m too hypersensitive. Maybe I just don’t give a goddamn about any hierarchy or ‘style of posting’ I just wanted my questions answered. I’ve taken alot of crap. Usually I don’t let it bother me. Yesterday, I was having a bad day. I’ve been having a couple of bad days. I really did want to just sit down and read the answer to my question. Yet again, all I got was bs. I couldn’t take it anymore. They were insults. So I wrote down my defense. It just so happened rather than seeing that as an effort to be LEFT ALONE about the grammer and the spelling
It didn’t work. So alas, I won’t be back after today. I’m sorry if i caused an annoyance. Thanks to evilbeth for standing up for me, though in this case I think the defense probably wasn’t needed. I can take responseibility.
Nothing more than me being me, if no one can handle that here, then I’m not going to force it, I’ll be me somewhere else. Whatever happens happens.
As for the troll … blah blah… other comments… That doesn’t bother me. I know many things are wrong with me, I know i’m not perfect. Far from it. I guess I found an answer to the saying “No question is a stupid question.”
You all have fun. I’ll go back where I belong.

Although I would like to see you stay, I have to take issue with this. My high speed was recently time at 123 wpm, but there is certainly nothing wrong with my grammar, spelling, or taking the half second needed to correct a typo (not counting the ones that everyone misses because they’re human). Speed should have no correlation to style.

Which is basically saying “Oh, I can do it, but I’m just too lazy to, and you guys should just put up with it.”
Bullshit. Grammar is the structure of communication, and if you want to relate an idea, you need to use the tools at hand. Eschewing grammar doesn’t make you a cool message board rebel. It makes you an incomprehensible lazy-ass lout.
If you can’t write a clear sentence, then the least of what I’m going to do is ignore you.

I think we need to move on to more outrageous, anger-provoking wrongdoing – such as Adam Yax’s sig line.

Just can’t spell it.
NO! I’m sorry… that was just plain wrong of me… I just couldn’t help myself!
You try and give a guy some constructive criticism. You bend over backwards to point out that it’s not a personal attack, just an observation. :rolleyes:
Oh well… don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Ogre.

Just so you know, there’s an online version of Strunk’s Elements here. Not that I don’t have a copy in every room of the house or anything…
Just make yourself comfy while I shoot nuclear particles into your heart.
