End of the road

Yes, I did correct most of that (As Alex pointed out, I missed a couple). It is grammar, but it is also chatspeak - using the lower case i, especially. It was my way of making a point....that some people might have less of a grasp of English, and that we should all try to keep that in mind when posting.

And yes, I am a sh!thead.

This is an interesting point. At first, I was going to ###### out Cian for his pompous English correcting posts as well, but after his explanation of why he is doing it, I have changed my mind. I still think he's a pompus jackass with some sort of wanna-be superiority complex, but he does make a valid point. When one is first learning English, slang and vernacular is bad. IM chatspeak is even worse. As much as I hate his personality, I have to agree with what he's saying.

For the foreign SOs who will eventually immigrate to the US, it's to your advantage to learn English and learn it properly. If you want to secure any kind of decent jobs later on, you'll need to be able to write clearly and properly in English, not IM chatspeak.

Gee, thanks.

While I appreciate SirLancelot's understanding and agreement with my reasoning, I must say that his mother dresses him funny, and he smells bad. Oh, and he has cooties.

Yep, and you continue to demostrate why your personality is to be loathed.

Let's analyze this....

You say to me:

"I still think he's a pompus jackass with some sort of wanna-be superiority complex..."

"As much as I hate his personality, I have to agree with what he's saying."

I reply with a few humourous 3rd grade put-downs, and you say that it's MY personality that is to be loathed???

Why? Because I haven't resorted to calling people names like "jackass"?

You're calling ME pompous? I haven't posted anywhere on the board telling someone that I hate their personality, or that their personality is to be loathed.

Whatever.

Cian, STFU and quit being an a$$. Let it go.

Since you asked nicely, I will STFU.

This just goes to show, you get a better response from people if you are nice to them.

Why is it that all topics on VJ that are not entirely happy turn into a flamewar?

Cian, it was rude of you to correct somebody else's grammar OR chatspeak.

Majizee, just go be a troll somewhere else.

Drelewis, I hope you two will work things out while in the UK, and that you'll be able to be together anywhere it feels better for the two of you. It's nice to know you haven't giving in to pressure and are willing to keep trying. Best of luck!

Majizee...I forgot to inform you that PO'D was short for Pissed off. Not sure where you are from but its been around for years.(oops must be a form of chit chat) Also I dont feel inferior to anyone (most of all you)just the same as I don't feel superior to anyone either.

Sirlance... I can see what you are saying since you are able to relay it without attitude like a certian POMPOUS....well you know what. but I still did not find the original post to be unreadable. Most people speak better than they write so I believe this person should be given a little slack.

Cian....cooties???? coooooties?????? Suddenly I'm wondering if a 12 year old found his/her way into this forum. I guess you ran out of things to say to have to regress back to childplay chit chat. There's a good word to teach all our foreign SO's out there.
