Nope, I'm in broadcasting actually. I'd rather be on a street corner today though, it's nice out and it sure would be better then an office.

Anymore questiosn Dr. Creepo?

I'm no Doctor I assure you.

Am I making you uncomfortable?

Not really, this chair is though, I'll ask someone to replace it. You're just helping me kill time on a slow monday morning until lunch though.

In the meantime, PM me if you're so curious about what I do. I'm not single though and not gay (if you're a dude) so let's keep it on the level k?

Now I realize nobody is infallible, and I sometimes will type something quickly and not realize I've made an error until after I hit the Post button, but lately the amount of errors (and often multiple times in the same post!) has gotten ridiculous.

Run-on sentence. Punctuation errors.

Your post consists of two sentence fragments, troutman.

I absolutely agree with MarchHare. Usually I can recognise what the poster means, but sometimes I have to reread the sentence a couple of times before it makes sense.

Nobody is perfect, but a little effort is appreciated.

I agree.

This is weird

...and creepy

Your pic is creeping me out! Everytime I see your name I picture "Natedawg" as George Bush.

Just havin some fun with Peddle. He always pounces on me for everthing so I'll do it back in a half joking way.


Hey man if you want to keep your hate on for me then go ahead we could use up many threads arguing and fighting and passing each other off or you can try to understand that I am new and am trying to learn from my mistakes. The Lanny topic I came across the wrong way I should not have put him in my "Least favorite" category I'm sorry if that offended you. I must learn where to place my words and what topic to put it under.
I wasn't kissing ass but if you want to believe that then go ahead.

If you think that, you'd be wrong. I barely notice you, and I don't know who you are. I try not to look at names when I reply, I just reply to the subject matter, not the poster. But if you think I'm after you.. well, that's cool too.

It seems like it peddle but you do do this to alot of posters. Your like the CP cop here but at least you get to the point some guys here will take up a full page and slam a poster with every insult they can say.

BTW How would you know who I was anyways?

Now THAT is a post I had to reread a few times to figure out WTF is being said.

What does " It seems like it peddle" mean?



Edit: ahh, now the blanks are filled in....

I was wondering that too. You changed your name like a year and a half ago, and this guy signed up in July...........

Question: Is it has shortened to its or its?

example: It has been a while since hockey started. It's been a while? Its been a while?

Homonyms are a bad one for me I admit. Always has been always will be - its just how my noodle works. I will try to pay more attention to it but frankly I'd rather people spend time on the actual content of their post rather than their grammar. Grammar is secondary in my view to someone putting thought into what point they are making. My two cents.

Some people are just homonym-o-phobic.

It's = it is, it has...so "it's been a while"

Its is posessive...ie: My car is messed up...its windshield is smashed

[Devils'Advocate]

I really don't care and will continue not to care....

I'm not being paid to post here. If I'm writing a system roadmap or a finishing system specs for management, I'll give it a read over or two for grammar or spelling mistakes. But this is a message board. There isn't enough time in the day for me to triple-read what I am posting. Most people can understand what I am trying to say on a first draft.

Homonyms

My favourite type of grammar...

What gets me is when I've been doign group projects at College, reading some of my fellow students' work is killer bad for homonyms and grammar; I'm ok at most rules, but my mom was a grammar Nazi herself, even though she never graduated high school.

and this "..." is called an elipsis

He said he used to be a lurker. For all we know, he could've been lurking since day one.

When I started posting, MMF was never Adam Peddle, but I knew his real name too. Does that make me a creep? No. I wasn't here for it but apparently Jordan and Adam would always get in arguements and so their real names are used alot more then their handle name

[AC]

I hate when people say "I could care less".

[cheung31]

omg you stupid grammar nazi, their's no space for such stupid threads like this. seroiusly, get a life theyre's more to life than just the computer you know..


:P
