Phone etiquitte, whore.

Would you calm the fuck down? Wow. Did I ever, even one time, EVER say that I assumed everyone posted from America? Or any other country? No. In fact, I talk (via instant messenger services) to quite a few posters who I know for a fact aren’t from America.

“Look in a mirror”? Are you implying that I ignorant? Fool? I’m a fool? For what? For bringing a bit of lightheartedness to what has to be the most ridiculous argument I’ve ever come across? Wow. I guess you sure told me, eh?

I posted a smilie there to hopefully get across that I was funnin’ with ya. Nothing was meant to be serious.
Actually, one of the reasons I have been posting at all was to try to improve those things in myself that others have brought up. Being able to place your thoughts logically down on paper (computer) can be difficult and is a skill that gets rusty after time. I have noticed that people get more responses if they are a little abrasive. By doing so myself I get more practice, maybe learn something along the way, and have a little fun at the same time. See?

Okay, aha, you know I love you, man.

You know I respect you, and you know that I am fully aware of how sharp you are.

But please, pretty please, with sugar on top:
Stop, in the name of all that’s holy, using “your” when you mean “you’re”.

It’s like watching Bill Romanowski miss a tackle and not care, because we all say “it’s okay, he knows better…”

Not only that, but it drives me up the wall!

Silver_Fire,

sorry to be a nit picker, but by correcting the spellling of offence (or offense:)) you were implying that your spelling was correct.

Don’t worry about it, your whole post indicated that you were being (wholly) idiotic.

Russell

Hahaha! Yep, you got me. Hahaha! :rolleyes:

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I know that “offence” is widely accepted as correct. And I know that a lot of posters here are not American. And, thanks to you foreign bastards, I’ve caught myself spelling color with a “u”. Fuckers. :smiley:

All that aside, the post in question (correcting Uzi’s spelling of offense) was meant to be taken lightly. (Note the ::snicker:: and :stuck_out_tongue: at the end.) This whole thread (OT: phone manners) has turned into a pathetic argument about grammar, spelling, punctuation, teachers, racism, age discrimination, potato vs. potatoe, and so on. It’s been hijacked to the ends of the earth. On that note…

Homer, how goes it? Have any of your sister’s friends called lately? What happened?

Your right Lex I’m sorry. :smiley:

Ok, lesson learn, from here on out contractions rule!

Thanks Lex!

Good sweet jesus I meant to type learned

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Consider my goat gotten, you goat-chasing bastard!

:smiley:

Hoooooly shit! Has NASA found out about this thread yet? Cuz the asses in here are so utterly tight, that nuclear fusion is looking like a real possibility.

you argument whores.

I could never be a teacher in a high school (unless I was allowed a flack jacket and a cattle prod), and I respect many who are. That being said, I learnt to read at 2, and can’t understand why some teachers seem to have so few clues. But the it was worse when I was going for a degree. Then I was certain that most of the lecturers were fucked in the head. Hell, some of those dickheads gave me B’s for assignments I had done in about 3 hours. It was supposed to by 3 months work! I’m glad the funding fell through before I wasted to much time.

learned

You started the sentence with a conjunction.
“the it”?

“be” 3 month’s work…

too much time

Had to be done. :smiley: I was laughing too hard from the last four posts to let this go.

Seriously running and ducking like nobody’s business

I was taking classes towards a Bachelor of Commerce in university.
Uzi’s first semester in university and he takes Logic:
Philosophy-Logic was one of the prereq’s for the degree. I show up for class with the recommended book and the teacher tells us that we will be going up to page 90 by the end of the term (book has 250+ pages). All tests will be based on what is in the book. The classes will be used to explain the book. We covered 35 pages in the first class and the rest of the month was spent REVIEWING THOSE PAGES!! I didn’t show after the first class until the midterm. I read the necessary pages the night before and got 100% on the test the next day. Amazingly enough, this was considered a ‘weeding’ course!
Uzi takes Calculus 101:
The teacher has a Phd. in Pure Mathamatics. He also was originally from somewhere in eastern Europe. His accent was so horrible that you couldn’t understand him. The class was held in one of the large auditoriums with sliding blackboards up front. The teacher would fill one, then slide it over and fill another. The problem arose when he would fill one board and cover over the one you were still taking notes from. When he filled all the boards he would then erase the one you hadn’t finished with yet! Uzi is fed up and reads book instead. He gets a ‘B’. Another ‘weeding’ course.
Uzi takes Macroeconomics:
In the same semester I took Macroeconomics. The teacher gives us a synopsis of the course that comprises the first half of the book and the last two chapters. Book consists of supply/demand curves and the variables that affect them.
Teacher: Here is an overhead of the supply and demand curves.
Uzi (to himself): Looks like she just copied it out of the book.
T: (Draws line on overhead) See this intersection? This is what happens when price controls are introduced.
Uzi (to himself): Kinda like the next illustration in the book.
T: Blah, blah, blah.
Uzi: now reading the book and ignoring teacher. Never shows up again for class except for tests and gets an A in course. He wonders why he had to pay for the course when he could have just bought the freakin’ book!
(Like Chewie, Uzi runs out of funds and, gratefully, can’t continue)
