It's Up! (OzmaOnline)

[The Other Mike]

Oatmeal, if you are actually dislexic or if english isn't your first language (hey I asked this before saying anything, by the way) then I appologize.  If you're just one of many of the generation growing up on instant messenger who decides it isn't worth their time to actually learn to effectively communicate your thoughts through writing, however, then I have no sympathy.  Anyways, sorry to seem unwelcoming... here's hoping you become a productive and slightly more intelligible member of this community.

If you're just one of many of the generation growing up on instant messenger who decides it isn't worth their time to actually learn to effectively communicate your thoughts through writing...."

OH PLEASE, look who's talking.Ã,  The grammatically correct version of your sentence is as follows.

"If you're just one of many of the generation growing up on instant messenger who decides it isn't worth HIS OR HER time to actually learn to effectively communicate your thoughts through writing...."

And "apologize" TOTALLY only has one P.

AND ALSO EVERYONE, IT'S SPELLED LIKE THIS:

DEFINITELY

THERE'S NO FUCKING "A" IN THE ENTIRE WORD, SO STOP PUTTING IT IN THERE.Ã,  "Definitely."Ã,  That's all there is to it, so just remember and stop fucking it up.

Oh yeah, and you're supposed to start a sentence with a capital letter, dammit!Ã,  I can barely read the shit you write on these boards.


BESIDES. Oatmeal must be one of the smarter ones here anyway.

With such improper spelling, he STILL is one of the few on these boards who knows how to correctly spell "embarrass."Ã,  That's two R's, two A's and two S's.Ã,  Give me a fucking break.


Also, if you feel like using an ellipsis make sure you know what you're getting into.Ã,  Half you guys don't make anyÃ,  sense when you use it.


I also went to as much trouble as to look it up in the OED, and "mua" is not a word.Ã,  Please clarify.

dyslexic > dislexic

[bulb dylan]

Fucking A.

[jvstin]

Eww! (@"his or her")
Anyway: I don't think I shall ever understand why you lot feel justified in treating one another terribly. Who bloody cares if someone spends excessive time on AIM (or another chat program)? Why the hell does it justify insulting him? Can you understand what Oatmeal says? I'm betting you probably can with a bit of effort.

Oatmeal: I like you. When I have 100 posts again, I'll +1 ya'.

[The Other Mike]

Are you seriously saying that there's no difference between a few typoes and writing something that's completely unreadable?  Am I wrong for really not being able to understand what Oatmeal was saying in some of his posts?

[claydarcy]

No, I'm not saying that at all (and I don't believe it!). I'm saying that you are being unkind to Oatmeal, and that if you tried, I bet you could understand his posts.

Edit: Man, I can be a twat sometimes...

No, you're right.Ã,  I could barely understand him either.Ã,  My posts on the English language were just to show off how smart I am and nothing else.   For the record, I do understand why one could get overly frustrated with his ideas and the way he explains them.

Although, people were mainly getting annoyed at the rude responses to his posts while he managed to keep his cool and try to sound as kind as he could.

I personally have animosity toward the butchering of the English language.Ã,  I agree with Mike 100% that people should spell correctly and type legibly. I believe people should generally have a decent overall understanding of the English language if they plan to speak or write it.Ã,  And I agree with the sentiment that it is foolish and disasterous that our current generation grows up online, not knowing OR CARING how to spell or use grammar correctly.

HOWEVER, outweighing ALL I've said above, I have an enormous amount of admiration and compassion for those who are good-hearted and kind. Ã, These attributes are at the core or importance to me and I think many others even if subconsciously. Ã, At the end of the day, or the year, or my life, I expect I am going to be more thankful to those who were kind to me, and not those who impressed me with the proper spelling of "definitely." Ã, Think about what makes you feel good. Ã, And think about what makes you feel bad.

[The Other Mike]

You're right, I'm a jerk.

sorry.

[antiuser]

I'm glad I can just pull the "I'm foreign" card whenever someone questions my grasp of the English language...

[I like ozma]

here are a few quotes from the greatest team of songwriters to ever grace their face on this planet.

"all we are saying, is give peace a chance"

"all you need is love, love, love is all you need"


(i know at least one person is going to talk about how stupid i am, and how i need to shut the {bad word} up)

excuse me for not capitolizing "i" i noticed that I didn't do it till afterwards, and i was too lazy to go back and capitolize it, but i wasn't to lazy to write this, which is quite foolish actually, but I am only trying to prove a point.
