Spelling nazis

[mstriumph]

Ou la la. Get you, mspretentious...

................

pretentious? MOI????

lol ... i give up
- people get narky when i DON'T communicate and narky when i DO there's just no pleasing some folk!

[mstriumph]

Pardon, makes no sense to me...

i don't see why everything should have to make SENSE

Now, let's agree that the literary convention is to capitalise the I, not you, them, he, she, etc. As such you make a conscious effort to make your self-references stand out from the norm. Hmmm, very interesting indeed...

mmmm interesting indeed - so from your point of view i'm self-agrandising and from mine i'm self-effacing .........

--- you only got here at the END of the thread, didn't you ..... it's been FAR too much fun for simple pronouncements - really

End, beginning, are just words, nothing more.

Just thinking of all the letters dressed up like little nazis makes me laugh. Can't ya just imagine them goosestepping around, kicking letters that don't get in the proper place?

You see, it's a matter of interpretation.
If you want 'us' to interpret your writings as you intended, then you need to do all you can to ensure there is no other way to interpret. Tall order? Yes. Impossible? Probably.

I don't like spelling mistakes, but only when I make them. I couldn't give a rat's arse how other people spell, as long as I can understand what they're trying to say!

[Ixion]

Sounds fare.
But only if cockroaches are your usual dinner, and they squeak, sing or otherwise punctuate your meal.

Well, there is a VERY well respected precedent, y'know.

i rite guud englanderish.

Well, that goes with the territory of being intelligible I'm afraid, otherwise you don't make any sense.

I'm neither saying it is self-agrandising nor self-effacing - because I wouldn't interpret it either way. If you're consistently refraining from using capitalisation of "I"s and names, I would just assume you were a lazy typist (not nearly as bad as a capslocked fuckwit even by a long shot). If it was just the "I"s, I probably wouldn't pick it up as being any different.
You've explained your reasoning, all I find it, is peculiar and slightly preoccupied with portraying a different-from-the-norm self-image.

maybe there should be one of two marks labelling every thread, to determine whether or not it's a correctly spelt,pronounced,capitals, blah blah blah....thread,so that all you perfect people wont have to get annoyed with us non perfects, and our postings.

frankly,what a load of bollocks!!!
you must be much more superior then i,if you can judge somebody's character that you haven't met,by the way they write a post.

lazy??? maybe in your office jobs criteria.there's no punctuation marks in manual work.
takes more time sitting on your bum,trying to get it all perfect,while some people have less time on their hands,and are obviously still understood.

[MSTRS:Me]

...as long as I can understand what they're trying to say!

The reality is that some people's spelling is so bad that, coupled with a total disregard for correct punctuation and grammar, their intent and your interpretation are poles apart. How do you know that you've understood, when guessing is sometimes the only way through?

..... ah
but most of what i intend is that people should become involved...
to me, communication in this forum is a collaborative process

i merely suggest my thought - you bring to it your own understanding and interpret it in the light of your own experience and respond accordingly

thoughts are not property, nor are they static ......... in my personal experience there have been many times that someone's RESPONSE to a post of mine has sent me in an entirely new [to me]and interesting direction concerning the subject

KB is an excellent place for such cross-pollination
- and you are a fascinating lot!

[bear with me - i do know i'm non-standard]

I can't help noticing that you now have plenty of time (presumably after work) to post in a thread on a subject that you say you have no interest in...








...no friends?
