Oh, yeah, I ever implied anything along the lines of my being in Kuwait had to do with anything, sure. And why don't you go back and read my post again. Obviously your reading comprehension needs a little work. -----------------------

Vukan...this is beginning to get quite annoying. I known that I can get annoying sometimes, but making big long senseless posts about yourself is getting on mine, and a few others nerves. I just wanted to let you know to cool down, and stop telling everyone that they don't know what they're talking about, because they do, I assure you  -----------------------

I dont know where you come from in all of this Chatham, but I am not talking about myself. I dont know if you read my posts or if you just read Hayashi's. -----------------------

That's all very funny. I have been known to work long days and come online. And read a book. And make dinner, watch the news and spend time with my wife.
Oh, English was the second language in my home for awhile when I was growing up.
Plus, we have people from many countries who join our club and take the time to learn English and do a damn fantastic job of it.
That social argument closed (I hope), let's be clear on a couple things. Yes, it is horrible to rip on people for posting in bad grammar. Its one of the things that drove people out of the club when Spart & Co. would sit online and openly taunt and correct people. Seriously, be adult and don't get your kicks on correcting the language of teenage kids. You really don't want to be compared to the Alaskan Disaster.
All that said, its important - if you want to be taken seriously - to take the time to look over your posts. Spell check them if you need to. I have heard of a few members throughout my past three plus years here that say that writing here has helped them with their real life tasks. Its true, we are a faceless group with what should be a higher comfort level and not any "grades" given for work put out. So, take the time to do it as correctly as you can. Don't rush a post if a couple extra moments could make it better. It is easier to take someone seriously if it looks like they took the time to respect their readers. If you have problems, you have problems, but we can be a place to help if we see the effort being put forth. -----------------------

Yeah, what Fury said. Just glance over your post for a sec and correct any spelling or grammatical errors. Not that hard to do, and it's a good habit, online and in real life. -----------------------

ya, Fury, im not going to start an argument again, but what i do is extremely physucal work, however i do read when i can be sure im not going to bleed on the books. i read when i can and as long as i can sence i really like the books im reading now. i didnt mean i get on the computer instead of reading, i just ment that my spelling and grammer tend to suffer when im tired.
of course i also do understand my spelling and grammer needs some all around work and am working on that as best to my abilities. Fury, thank you for being atleast somewhat of a voice of reason among the madness, i truthfully am not trying to further this argument, just addressing a few things, if you realy must argue im at [email protected]
also Fury, i am 15 and am very out of shape after last summer, i do my best at my job, but my squad boss is a moron and normaly ends up making twice as much work for us. about the English thing, damn, most people from other countries speak better english than me, the germans i've met use words i've never even heard of and the french knew every single swear word, it was like they had read a book full of them. i think i've covered everything. if not then EMAIL ME realy continueing this arguement in public is just bad manners, and my spelling and grammer have nothing to do with my manners so get that thought out of your head, and yes i have bad manners, i am proud of it, if you want to argue email me, my inbox is barren as is anyway, i could use something to keep me busy.
that said.
Well put Fury.

If it helps, I found this page on a simple search for grammar tips.
There are a lot of articles and I believe everyone could benefit by browsing through at least a few of them. -----------------------

Vukan, American kids really do butcher the English language, I hear their crap everyday at my school. And if you're so cultured, then I'm sure that you can tell me in what play Prof. Henry Higgins says that there are "even places where English completely disappears (in America they haven't used it in years)."

We speak American. It's just different enough from English to cause a few headaches but it's still somewhat the same language.
English is my first language but my grammer ain't that great and on a good day I only misspell a tenth of what I write.
Combined with what I went through studying japanese at high school and teaching myself german I have an appreciation for what our members in other lands that speak other languages go through. -----------------------

I really hope you didn't mean that Snipes, cause if so, we have a problem and I need to talk to you ASAP about this. Disrespect for any Squad Leader or Assistant Squad Leader will not be tolerated.
Edit: Unless of course you're talking about something at school that you're involved in, such as ROTC maybe?

I need to post to what chipmunk said...
A) I have never seen the play, though the name does sound familiar. The difference between being and not being cultured doesn't have anything to do with how many plays you see or don't see, and just in case you didn't notice, I never implied I was cultured.
B) Stop classifying people as a whole. I don't care if 99/100 people in the US can't speak English correctly, 1 percent of 200 million, if you can't do the math, is 2 million people. Hmm, quite a lot if you ask me. Don't assume because people in your school don't speak English well that at other places they don't. I don't make the assumption that everyone speaks Englsih well, but I do, based on hard facts, say that many people, in fact, know how to use the English language properly. -----------------------
