Well, that was...interesting. We have teenagers giving each other a bad time about grammar :huh:

By the way, thank you for calling most people on this board fools, since your declaration "believing that a picture is worth a thousand words is the supposition of fools" affects most of us. People in general believe that one, and while I have no doubt your grammatical structure is just great for a 14 year old, there are many people with grammatical abilities far greater than yours who still believe that one. My advice, be careful of throwing out blanket insults on a forum and in your very own introduction topic, no less. We all want to get along, don't we?

I don't fault you for reacting the way you do, but you have to learn what Solo's like. He's a bit rough around the edges with his jokes, but he's quite funny once you get to know him and understand his sense of humour. I saw no insult in that picture and I'm certain he didn't mean any.

Whoa, chill :)

Don't be so quick to rail against Solo or anyone on this board. We're all friendly here (Though you have a hard time believing it now :) )

On NANAE (newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email) we make fun of spammers for being st00pid and their many spelling/grammar mistakes.
This is not the case with you, dude.

Besides, ya outta watch how silly I can get :)
I am a whiny bitch. I was busy deleting all my post content, cos hina didn't ban me.

oy, long posts.

Well, it's a fair comment, I suppose. A great number of fools believe that saying, and anyway, it was just meant as a joke. :P It's a figure of speech.

Solo's not attacking you, that's the way he is sometimes. ^_^ After all, I reckon it is better you use English here rather than your own language, because others of us may not understand it. :huh:

You didn't spel well :P or use correct grammar in your intro, but we got your drift. But if we went around lecturing each other all the time, we never get anything done, nor would we have any time to have fun!

In response to Solo's recent post:

My grammer isn't lacking. I pride myself on being merely 14 yet having my grammatical structure in much better shape than most adults. Your using mere pictures is simply a sign of humility or conceit to me. By the way, he has not spoken to me in one-thousand words as only six words and thirty-four (I believe) characters were in the picture, including punctuation, excluding spaces. Either way, believing that a picture is worth a thousand words is the supposition of fools as a picture that would normally be considered worth one-thousand words should simply be considered a strong enough picture that words need not be spoken, written, or told. Profain language shows your own ignorance as to whom you really are. It is part of the language of the feeble-minded and by using it you show that you are :

1) Lacking in so much grammatical itellect that you can not choose one of the some-odd number of words in the English language to express how you feel...

                                      or

2) You may be intelligent but without an extensive enough vocabulary that you qualify for elucidation number one.


I am not challenging your intelligence, Solo, nor am I saying that you are superior to me. I do not know what type of person you are which is why I didn't use as much odious text as I normally would. Perhaps you are a nice person, perhaps not. I am also, as some of you may believe, showing off any skills as I can not stand those who do that and I would be a hypocrite by intentionally showing off. Anything typed is simply second-nature to me so please think nothing of any words I have used that you would normally not here. (I couldn't immediately think of anything that made me sound contradicting, so that is why the previous sentence may sound so ignorant.)

By the way, hinarei, I do not think it pointless to type "No offense" in a written sentence. If you think about it, it means that the author had different intentions or was looking from a different perspective than would normally be percieved. No offense. Really, I mean no offense. I'm not saying that to be stupid.

Also, if I spelled anything wrong or if there was a better way to say what I had been trying to say (as in a single sentence, not a summed-up version of what I said) please tell me. For those of you who don't understand this:

(i.e) "You are not very smart."  A better way of saying that would have been: "You are very lacking in intellectual capacity." or "You are very unintelligent." if you must.

A few points.

1. Don't pride yourself on your grammar. You have accomplished nothing special. It is easy to have better grammar than an adult..... just pick a poorly educated hick from the boondocks to compare wtih.

2. I use profain language for two reasons. Humor being one of them. The fact that I use profain language sometimes does not lead to either of your conclusions. And I use pictures because I find them a fairly effective way of injecting humor into a situation.

3. I have absolutely no idea what your second paragraph is about....

4. I am not stupid, feebleminded, lacking in intelliegence, or vocabulary.

You can lead a man to reason, but you can't make him think.

...Jesus... To hell with English; I might as well be speaking my own language. NO ONE GETS WHAT I'M SAYING. Screw this board and anything I've said up until now. I'm starting over as I think a few people have a misconception of my image... I know no one's name except hinarei, and the rest of you are new to me and God forbid someone starts to get technical. I'm tired of being on this subject. If I ever see this topic again, I will assume I was high when I was typing it. Who knows, I probably was. I have a hard time holding on to hostility unless something extreme triggered it, so whatever. Besides, I'm afraid if I say anything else, Solo will twist it to hell and make my intentions sound haughty. I'm also tired of talking about my intentions. Instead I'll just do it, and whatever you think I say is what you think I say. In fact, I would think it may be in your best interest to just stop reading. Nothing usefull will be said from here on. Someone just delete this topic. Really. Someone delete it.
