I thought it was funny, not offensive.
I'm just busting on you. Wait - an accidental play on words!

Sure, the colloquial "theory" is the synonym of "guess" or "opinion", but not a scientific theory.HA a theory isn't an understanding or an explanation, its a guess, its an opinion almost. I could say the universe was made by ducks that had 22 legs and ruled galaxy's before the big bang. And no one could prove me wrong.
I could call that a theory of 22 legged ducks.
Some theory's are more reasonable then others, but saying one theory is impossible because it conflicts with another is not right.
Theory's are our guess of how something works or why it exists. If they were 100% proven they would be called laws..
The first thing.Is dick italicized for emphasis or because
it is to be read with an accent?
... No, I won't. I mean, I won't be so harsh all the time, but I'm not gonna just let people run around shouting nonsense without correcting them. It's common courtesy to educate people who are so poorly educated.Oh just lay off the kid, will you?
Space - you're just a plain dick, he is at least young and pseudo-intellectual.
You're a young, pseudo-intellectual dick.

Perhaps, but he is a dick, as exemplified by his lack of attempting to use English in an understandable way. the courteous thing to do is attempt to communicate in a manner that people understand what you're saying, but he doesn't even try. If he tried and simply failed, that'd be fine.Judging from this thread (and all the others like it), I'd say he's probably less of a dick than most of the people on this forum.
Send it to me!Melllv, I oddly considered using
the first photo you posted, but
thought I would get in trouble.
Hahahaha
And if you want the full of my

But I'm not going to needlessly.

People calling him a dick for not conforming? You're right, it is quite common, he can probably find a jerk who will offer that kind of courtesy at any corner of our glorious planet.
But thank you for adding to the misery.
Not that I agree with monsieur SpaceYeti (thanks to Bird I now read all of his postings in a French accent) but "not conforming" is nothing but an euphemism here. There are people like Chimera or Bird on this forum who have a rather unusual posting style and nobody ever wants to lynch them.That's because they're female.That's because you can actually read their postings without getting a seizure.
I always think of poor literacy as the internet equivalent of smelling bad (non-native speakers and dyslexic people are excluded from that analogy). Apparently you think that respect is a one-way street. I agree that respecting people who are different is important but where is his respect for us, the rest of the forum?
Never heard of it before.
This guy doesn't put any effort into being understood, nullifying the very idea of conversation in the first place!
This guy doesn't put any effort into being understood...
Oppose.
*gets some milk for the puppy*
*pinches cheek*
You're a nice boy, sure I will.
1. Don't be a nuisance.
Well in that case permit me the honor of a formal introduction...

Herein you will discover an absolute Mecca for enthusiasts of the artistic style you earlier provided such fitting examples of.
Cautionary word of advice should you choose to explore... avoid /cute/ ...it isn't.
SpaceYeti said:Wow, so people don't mind when someone puts no effort into communicating in a manner that the people their addressing understand? It's not about conforming, it's about the very reason we speak in the first place, it's about making the attempt to say something in a way that what he's trying to communicate comes across, so that people actually understand what he's saying. If he happens to have an accent, or he likes to dress a certain way, or the other BS you said, he can't control that, he's still putting effort into being understood.

Alright, despite finding it funny that i have a big thread all about mwahh.
Would it mean anything if i apologized for any offense or dis-respect that may of occured by my lack of proof reading?
I truly (full hearted) apologize, any dis-respect or aggravation that my lack of proof reading and grammer has brought about. I did not intend or forsee what would come as a result. And will try to improve.
Ah, let's face it. By and large, this forum is primarily for intellectuals who also happen to be outcasts of society. If you're not intellectual, then you are likely to get discriminated against by people here. I really don't want to accept it, but that is reality. Even INTPs have guidelines and rules, I suppose. Anything to keep some type of law and order.
This!... I always think of poor literacy as the internet equivalent of smelling bad (non-native speakers and dyslexic people are excluded from that analogy). Apparently you think that respect is a one-way street. I agree that respecting people who are different is important but where is his respect for us, the rest of the forum?
Ceg, good points. It is a matter of trying to have a common ground to communicate.... A major aspect of this forum revolves around communication, and when somebody like him who has or claims to have an ability to appropriately apply grammar and spelling refuses to on the basis of stubborness, laziness (etc), that only goes to show a massive lack of respect for the individuals of which are attempting to communicate with him, and a cease of any reason to continue residing in an environment that encourages communication between members.
...
Thank you. All I ask is that you put effort into being understood by the people you're addressing. That's all. I didn't mean to make it seem I thought you were the equivalent of a juvenile delinquent, or something. It's a simple matter of putting effort into the things you do. The whole "If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right" thing. The purpose of communicating is to share an idea with someone, but sharing it in a way that makes it difficult to understand what you're trying to share simply because you're too lazy to do it in a way the person you're talking to understands irritates me.Alright, despite finding it funny that i have a big thread all about mwahh.

Well, of course I went straight to /cute/ and clicked on that.
It's kind of scary just how little that bothered me. Except for the ones of the animals. Apparently dead, tortured animals make me feel really bad and dead people are just kind of shrug worthy, maybe even interesting from an anatomical/physiological perspective.

Which is simply immature, then. If you're hiding something, maybe you shouldn't be doing it."Similarly, it bothers me when people address people they don't know and toss a lot of big words or uncommon idioms which few people actually understand into what they're saying just to sound smart or important."
Speaking as a journalist, this is what some people do in order to NOT be understood while superficially appearing cooperative. Other people do it in order to exclude others from what they hope you think is a clique of insiders. Words don't always serve communication; sometimes they serve other purposes, frustrating to those of us who rely on words for communication.
And to be perfectly fair, some people don't even know they've left others behind with uncommon idioms. I had to ask what "taking the piss" was a few months ago, but I'm sure the Brits who were tossing that around had no intent to confuse anyone. Bits like that actually make this truly international forum of similar personalities a real delight. Speaking for myself, it's good to "get out" of the New Jersey context once in awhile.![]()
