Just because it's easy for you doesn't mean it is for others. True, but _everyone_ can take the time to re-read their post, and everyone can learn basic rules, like their-there, to-too-two. By not doing that, people that can't spell _do_ look like morons. They should run spell check if'in they know they have a speeling problem, also. -- Jim in NC HELLO! It's just the friggin usenet! Most of us don't even know who we are talking too. Some of us have more important things to do, such as correspondance on a 10 million dollor project. You bet that baby gets proofread, spell checked, grammer checked, proofread, maybe ask a co worker to proofread it, see what I missed, etc. |

You mean "to," (a preposition and therefore a word with which you ought not end a sentence, anyway) "correspondence," "dollar," and "grammar?" I'm not picking on you, particularly, but the pervasive ignorance of spelling, grammar, punctuation, homonyms, sentence construction, ad infinitum, makes me ****ing sick. And it isn't just usenet, it's everywhere, even in your ten million dollar report, because your computer can't fix everything and your coworkers are as apathetic as you are. We're becoming a nation of ignorant idiots. I think that's a bad thing, and a dangerous one. If we knew as little about airplanes as we did the English language, and flew them as carelessly as we write, we'd all be dead by now. |

Why? Curious. Montblack Imagine it's 150 years ago. (For you youngsters, that would put us way back in pre-internet days, when people conversed instead of pecking.) We're sitting around enjoying some refreshing non-alcoholic beverages and talking about various things. Some brilliant thinker among us begins to orate in a particularly eloquent fashion. More and more people break from individual, localized conversation to listen to the man (or woman) speak. To encourage serious attention and to show his support for the ideas being presented, a listener pipes up with the admonition "Listen to the man speak, my friends. What astounding thoughts he has, and so well spoken." In other words, "Hear, Hear!" |
