Thank you. I take it you are from the US?I think you express yourself really well, especially for a 15 year old
Why ? - Adults who are not native to english and cannot express themselves perfectly are less ridiculous than a 15 years young boy who's learning his mother tongue in school in detail from "hello" to the last grammatical feature and is unable to write words properly.
it's not ... indeed Where're my mistakes ?
fine, but you *are* a boy, since your age is only 15.Also, please don't call me a "boy" or a "kid". I know, it is childish, but it is a little respect thing.
not yetYou aren't calling me stupid, are you?
no i'm not... obviously.Oh, bummer. You aren't from the US?
no ... not your words - I dislike the way you expressed your agression.It used to be that the "F" word and "hell", and "damn", used to be horrible words to use. Times are changing though.
they are...I feel that these "cuss words", are just words.
You got used to it ... that's pretty bad...I use them to express myself(only when i am extreamly pissed off).
This is not good, my dear.I don't like people criticizing me.
dknguyen said:I have a sister who lashes out about ANY criticism regarding her whether it's something big or as small as complimenting SOMEONE ELSE she works with (criticism by implied comparison) and she is so absolutely "lost" at the moment and refuses to accept and advice or help. Don't become like that- it produces an aura of naiveness (naivety? sp?) among other things. Criticisms usually have some worth whether you like to believe it or not. Don't get overly insulted, irational, and pissed off, and lash out. Read it carefully and keep what you need. You will not continue to grow if you do not do this. It's one of the differences between handling things like an adult and having a tantrum (no offense, but that's the way I see it- think about how a third person would react to a lashing out like that).
It is better than being pissed on!pissed off
It's fashion BTW, not fassion. Just something I can't let go unsaid because the shhhhh sound is completely different from ssssssss. Impossable is impossible. Only one e in completely. Unnecessalirly is unnecessarily (read your version slowly and it garbles at the end) Might as well fix them when you're young rather than when you're older and it may really matter how you come across to people. Typos, okay, but outright mispelling words should be corrected sometime. "The emperor is not forgiving as I am." lol. Just the though running through my mind at the time.
Sure?fine, but you *are* a boy, since your age is only 15
lol.not yet
He has had a problem with me since my first post here. What ever? Sorry if it upset you.no ... not your words - I dislike the way you expressed your agression.
Ok, i guess that was alittle dumb of me to saythey are...
I don't get this mad very often. I am just extreamly frustrated right now with is whole electronics thing. Please bear with me!You got used to it ... that's pretty bad...
I have a sister who dislikes ANY criticism against her and she is so absolutely "lost" at the moment and refuses to accept and advice or help. Don't become like that.

You did, say that, though. You imply that, the boy is ridiculous, and the adult, is less ridiculous. I'm sure you didn't intend this, however, if you take a re-read of what you wrote, and think about it you will see why. The point is, that I just wanted to point out that no one is perfect, and that the language is not perfect either. The history of English is quite interesting, and it is arguable that the imperfections are what give English its strength, and ability to adapt. The debate over whether the written language is a record of the spoken language, or the spoken language should be modeled on the written, is as old as English is itself. Consider the opening line of a once popular science fiction "Star Trek," To boldly go. That use splits the infinitive form of the verb, and was, up until a few years ago, considered illiterate. Now, because of this TV show, it is acceptable to use this.I've never said that... but in comparison: An adult who's not native to english is less ridiculous than a boy learning english in school every day as a native speaker and being unable to write words correctly...
Fine. I am putting a dictionary next to my desk right now. There. Done, and done! It is a "Wbster's New World Dictionary, with student handbook". It is copywrited 1973, so it is fairly old. Now you may critique my spelling.
no i didn'tYou did, say that, though.
not exactly. The sentence says that an adult who's not native to english is less ridiculous than a boy who cannot use his own mother language, which he learns day by day in school, properly.You imply that, the boy is ridiculous, and the adult, is less ridiculous.
Agreed.I do agree, though, it is better to be pissed off, than pissed on!
Quite complicated storyYou still didn't tell me where you are from.
This was a good one ...It's not that hard to get back at Poopeater if you are angry at him. Just refer to him by name.
You're right ... back to the topic.What's that over there? Do you see that? THat thing in the distance? That's the original topic of this post going away!
AHHH! Stop it.
that was an honest typo.O.K., Webster has an 'e' between W and b!
boy! *tease*AHHH! Stop it.

It's not that you have any mistakes, it's that your understanding of the english language is more old fassion. I myself wish the english language would still be in the "old fassion" sence, but this is entirely impossable now days. I blame this on rap music. I have no evidence, but i just hate rap.I just think rap has compleetly killed the respect we used to have. If you think i am rude, then you should meet some of the people that are in my grade. I am one of the "more polite people". If poopeater was trying to be funny, he could have atleast put some smiley faces in his post.
Also, please don't call me a "boy" or a "kid". I know, it is childish, but it is a little respect thing. You aren't calling me stupid, are you?
Oh! I think i know what you are getting at now, _nox_! Do you mean Post-Secondary? I am thinking of taking PSEO(Post-Secondary Enrollment Option) my senior year. Ahh! You are a genious! I don't have to bug my principal about getting an electronics course! I could just go PSEO! Oh, i am loving this!
I wasn't trying to be funny. I'm trying to help you. When you get into the real world, you will not be given the respect you deserve if you cannot spell simple words properly. When I am working with someone (especially if I know that english is their first language), and their spelling is this horrible, I will double and triple check any data that they are sending my way, because I just don't trust them. Poor spelling makes you look like a simp, and even if you are the most brilliant electrical engineer to ever walk the earth, you will be fighting an uphill battle because your spelling WILL hold you back. I know that it's not important. I know that it's not an indicator of knowledge on electronics. However, I do know that it is important in getting people to take you seriously.
xaxaxa!Now you are starting to sound like a little school girl!
