> [@Nobody](#): > > Oh, thank goodness she isn’t one of ours \. She’s a problem the the UK to deal with.😃 That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! ETA: Back on topic… you have REALLY chosen the wrong place to ask about making people grovel. The board has a lot of distinct personalities who post here, but we’re all pretty much united in our loathing for mental/emotional abuse. ---

It’s proper use can convey concepts in a far more specific manner, allowing for subtleties of context your present style lacks. In a nutshell, its kinda like you speak with an accent. We hear the words, but they are confusing because of the poor structure of the presentation. If you consistently choose to communicate this way, it makes you sound like you do not write well in english. Since the only way we “know” you is by your writing, a poor presentation will lead to people not taking you seriously or assuming you are fifteen, drunk, or both. ---
