    Hmm, I think the other Q was talking about me. :p

    Fun doesn't exist in my world...heh, unless it's legal to blow things up, which it's not....so yeah, no fun here. :(

    Anyway, can't I go to college...then take a few years off and have fun? I mean, it could work both ways...and some say college is the fun people are looking for, doesn't seem to be that way....

    gotcha. still poorly written, but now understandable. there should be a rule about using proper grammer on the internet... or at least intelligible grammer.

    ... or at least spelling grammar correctly when you complain about it.

    She said Intelligible grammar, which most people understand what she means when she simply replaces an a with an e, or maybe you're just an idiot? Grammar is easy, spelling is a whole different thing, and people can usually understand a word when it's misspelt, even when it's not pronounced correctly, people will understand it. Strange language, the English language.

    You usually read the first and the last letters first. Try to read the following as quickly as you can:

    "The qiuck brwon fox jupms oevr the lzay dog."

    If you are used to read in English, you shouldn't even notice the spelling mistakes.

    As for grammar: English grammar is good. German grammar is not too difficult, french VERBS are simply awful, as for russian grammar, if I wasn't born as a russian but had to learn the language, I'd probably curse the blasted grammar by now.

    IMHO there should be a rule against using 'l33t' and 'AOL spe3k' on every forum, not only this one.

    don't worry about it, Q. Icairus is just miffed about my obviously superior intelligence. he wants to rail against the injustice of being born without the gift of blarney, but he can't seem to find the right words... he deserves our sympathy for leading such a tortured, uncultured life.

    You're so totally right, rosenshyne, you are so obviously superior.
    Superior to what? If I find something, I'll post about it.

    Now, on to whatever brilliance I am about to post.

    Oh, yeah, about what I previously said. I don't care if someone misspells grammar. I simply think that if you want to criticize someone's use of the language you are required to do it correctly yourself. if i want to say that rosenshyne is a moron for her lack of use of capitalization, i cannot do it using a sentence set up like this. Of course, that was simply an example, I harbor no such belief. I simply like to make fun of her because she is a crazy redneck with too many cats.

    Don't forget the sadist part.

    Also Sea Dog, I don't wear singlets, but I do wear thongs and shorts pretty much everyday. And of course, I love my beer :).

    My whole picture of you is ruined now. Could start wearing them then? Then you'd (seem to) be a complete washout

    Sometimes I wonder about you...

    Do you try and make yourself look smart or something?

    Yeah, sometimes I wonder about myself too.

    Glad to see you all think about me though. :)

    Au Contrare. I notice the mistakes, I'm just so used to seeing spelling mistakes that I ignore them... comes from being forced to read the hand writing of friend who does a lot of writing... and who's handwriting is passable as Japanese when turned sideways... :lol:

    Driving is overrated. Sure, it's useful, but then you find yourself becoming a free taxi service for everyone who can't drive.

    That's exactly the reason I weasel out on my folks when they want me to learn to drive. I know its ungrateful but I just hate driving arround, doing errands that have nothing to do with me.

    I can't drive yet...but I really should learn how to drive pretty soon. I mean, it would be nice knowing how and actually going for the license...

    You can still get others to drive you around. :p
