There is some literary douchebaggery going on here. First of all I doubt many people here have the background in language to really be in the finger pointing chair, I know I don't. My freaking English instructor in my Mechanical Engineering Degree needed to look things up from time to time. Not to mention there is differences depending on where your English is coming from. Go to England and see if your commanding view of language gets you far there. The second issue with the topic is we are Canadian, there is a plethora of diversity in this Country. Now many will say that you need to learn the methods of the country you live in, which is true to some point. Hopefully there aren't people like that when you travel abroad and are unfamiliar with the customs and language.

There were a lot of "you's" in there that are not directed at anyone. Speaking in generalities.

HUH? Sorry too many words for me... All I got out of this is that I am DUMB.

Fun thread, thanks Marko, and oh yeah, got a couple extra posts, for padding. HEHE.

i just realized im illiterate........im also deaf and dumb.....my computer talks in brail so please go easy with any slang :)

yup, another one :rolleyes:... just what we need....


Steve

This thread is aimed towards those who dont know the easy stuff. such as the difference between your and you're. I doubt your instructor ever looked up something so basic

p.s. I'd like to break the 1000 post mark already

my gym teacher in high school was 400lbs and my home economics teacher couldnt cook or sew lol this is absolutely true:)

Nah Denny, you're just a noof!:razz:

gramticallry speeking...its newf;)

Those concepts were not always basic to you either. But I appreciate you taking the time out out your day to grade our essays on Canreef.

I dont understand why you're taking this all so seriously and why you seem so offended by this.

50 posts in an hour and a half
Is that a record?

Sorry to misdirect you as I am not offended at all. I just find its slightly pretentious to give grammar lessons to an online forum. I guess that sentence will upset as well, nothing meant by it. Better yet Ill just tap out from this one all together.

itz ok body i knew it wasnt offensuff:pppp

I think I hold the current record set yesterday! but its getting close!

lol I would have never thought that knowing the difference between you're and your would be considered impressive.

I thought that the fact that the title said "edumacation" would indicate that this was not meant to be taken seriously

whats wrong with edumacation???


edit*** sorry keping on topic " whatz rong wit edumacation??"

It may be the lounge but it would really be nice if some of the posters could watch their language on a family oriented aquarium board.
Thanks

Not to worry, Marko, most of us got it
Some people get lost in the whole reading part and forget how they got here
Thanks for the entertainment

time for work. k bye

+1

Thanks to all for the laugh at the end of a really crappy day!!! This thread is hilarious!

And for those from Newfoundland, I appreciate the written word, you guys are hard to understand when you speak - you have your own language, and funny slang terms for things....like "gutted" for hungry....

never heard that before lol

why dugg wut evar due u meen??? sorry had to lol :)

i agree lets not cuss no need( i agre letz nut kuss now neet)

I worked with a girl who had the worst grammar, and she said it all the time, "I'm so gutted", "I gots to get something to eat". She had other ones too, was funny bec she had just graduated university with an Education degree, sure glad she's not teaching...sweet girl though.

nope never heard it before lol sure shes not from labrador hehehe;ppp

nope this is offensive and posted to belittle people.. doesn't belong at all.

Steve

i doubt that marko started this thread to belittle anyone or to offend anyone......im pretty sure hes refering to people who use their phones and dont correct their spelling...hes not making fun of people who cant read or calling any particular person out.....i dont see the harm, maybe you could elaborate????

why is there alwasy one person who needs to take something and turn it into something its not.....this place is becoming the movie dirty dancing

From Newfoundland yes, Labrador, no, really small town....And I hope that saying this is not offensive to anyone as it is so not meant to be at all.

ah that explains it then lol those who live in the city or close to it actually talk pretty decent the farther into the sticks you get and hell even i have a hard time understanding them and their weird sayings lol

for a good laugh look up the newfoundlanders dictionary:)

yup this one has my thread beat! :mrgreen: but now I can see what some people mean when they say there is negativity everywhere.

I did work in Fort Mac a couple of years ago and we had a couple of guys from Newfoundland doing some work for us. My boss met up with them with questions - they had a discussion between themselves, my boss could not understand a word they said, turned to him and spoke perfectly fine. They knew he wouldn't understand them, but everyone laughed about it....Like the English, there's the cockney for the north, proper in the south...the east and the west...plus everything in between.

same here worked in ft mac for a couple years and one day our crew was talking with this old fella and he started on a sentence and after about 20 words everyone looked at me to translate....i just bust out laughing as i didnt understand a word lol :):)

love ft mac!!!

you'll find a lot of people on here have no patients for stuff like this due to a specific idiot who used to be on the board years ago.

Steve

i spose... though i dont see the harm like i said i doubt marko was trying to belittle anyone or hurt anyone judging by the replys seems your the only one who was offended...i personally had a good laugh from it i do agree cursing doesnt need to happen as doug stated but i dont see any particular person being called out or anything like that and it wasnt pointed towards anyone......fact of the matter is people spell bad so what who cares ????

Are you kidding me!! This isn't a serious thread topic! For the love of god people quit messing with my mind!! Serious, not serious, serious, not serious MAKE UP YOUS MINDS!

Not a lot of doctors in this forum I guess. Sorry, couldn't resist!:lol:

ok im sorry but that WAS funny...are we still aloud to laugh around here...hehehe:)

Marko,

It would be spectacular if you could learn to word, spell, and punctuate all of your posts correctly before criticizing anyone else for it. You complain about people misspelling simple words and having poor punctuation... what the heck? In this thread only, you missed a minimum of 10 periods, botched capitalization (used when not required or missed when required) several times, and have a couple sentences that are poorly worded. Additionally, you incorrectly tried to correct someone else's grammar.

Your incredibly whiny on the forum... 'can-it' man.

All the best,

Chris

P.S. If you are serious about the 'issue', do not slip up in writing quality yourself, and if you do not feel the matter is serious, stop correcting everyone over it. ;)
