OK...when you write a rant, try writing it in MS Word first, then c+p it...that way, you can use the goddamned spellcheck function. When I read a rant in which every 6th word is misspelled, I pretty much stop paying attention and assume that the writer either is an idiot, or doesn't care enough about what they wrote for me to bother caring about it.

uh ive tried that. and it kinda works but i really really really suck at the whole spelling and grammar aspect. quatum mechanics and differentation of some ungodly polynomails are a walk in the park, but when to use 'of' instead of 'off' still get me  :cry:

or alternatively, write badly on purpose so the only people that understand what you're saying are the people that care enough to decipher the mixed up text.

And with horab the horable speller, we once accidentally showed that we do not always understand wtf he is saying either.  He came home drunk one night and posted an angry blurb about an incident and 2 or 3 of us tried to decipher it, and we all missed points and mixed them up as well :wink:

Counter-intuitive is good. Should I put forth the effort to find that which i seek? Scarcity makes value and not being scarce takes it away. I hide different meanings in my post and irony too although many won't see it.

The question of all questions; are my answers your answers and my questions your questions? What do you seek, if you can't tell me this then your not looking.

damn, dawg...you get that shit from an L. Ron Hubbard book or somthin'? that sounds like these cats I know in Anaheim, always takin' that acid all tha time, start ramblin' this and that, but when you lissen to what they's goin' on 'bout, it always end up bein' 2 sides of tha same coin anyway...you wanna bust some pop psychology out on these crackers, you gots to remember that circles gon' get you nowhere. Some cats think cirularly, some cats think in linearistic termz, mos' tha hoods on this board pro'lly think in what you could call "crazy-straw" termz.

anyway, y'all honkiez spend too much time askin' yo'se'f questions and not enough time pimpin' whores and slammin' cadillac doors. ain't worth questionin' yo' life if it keeps y'all from livin' yo' life, dig?

We were in this bar in Saigon and this kid comes up, this kid carrying a shoe-shine box. And he says "Shine, please, shine!" I said no. He kept askin', yeah, and Joey said "Yeah." And I went to get a couple of beers, and the box was wired, and he opened up the box, fucking blew his body all over the place. And he's laying there, he's fucking screaming. There's pieces of him all over me, just... (Takes off his bandolier) like this, and I'm tryin' to pull him off, you know, my friend that's all over me! I've got blood and everything and I'm tryin' to hold him together! I'm puttin'... the guy's fuckin' insides keep coming out! And nobody would help! Nobody would help! He's saying, sayin' "I wanna go home! I wanna go home!" He keeps calling my name! "I wanna go home, Johnny! I wanna drive my Chevy!" I said "Why? I can't find your fuckin' legs! I can't find your legs!"

I whole heartedly agree. I have a chronic neurological disorder which causes uncontrolable muscle spasming, often resulting in my fingers clattering across the keyboard like mice to the cheese, and yet My grammar and spelling is Perfect. If you are not anal retentive about spelling and grammar, go back to the forest you Filthy Monkeys.

So, O Unregistered one, are you implying that clear communication skills to transmit information with as little semantic distortion as possible is somehow considered a "disability"?

Or are you somehow compensating for dropping out of High School after huffing too much Scotch Guard?

Cf: "Creative Order", "Orderly Creation".

I had an epiphany.  There.

On an odd note, in Japanese, the construct zen-zen implies 'not at all,' such as in:

Nihon-go wa zen-zen wakarimasen

I don't understand japanese at all.

Conincidence?

Yeah, probably.
