Fight Against English - General

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;23226013]Not only did you not read the thread in your rush to make a stupid joke, you used the single largest picture you could find.[/QUOTE] no i just choose the first image i just woke up and im eating coco pops:smug:

I'd like you to go up to any of those people you quoted and tell them you can't spell. Even if you can't spell it takes 1 second to press a spell check button. It's basic etiquette and that itself is an art. If you can't spell, fuck you, start learning because I for one will disregard your opinion. Fact. [editline]11:51AM[/editline] Fucks sake, kids now think bad spelling is actually a good thing. I'm willing to accept kids being too lazy to mind spelling all the time, heck, I do it! But to call it "art" is fucking ridiculous. [editline]11:52AM[/editline] And nobody should compare paintings and litreture. Their both art? So what? Wanking and gaming are both hobbies, I don't compare them.

language formality is simply a form of identifying that the person has received a western education, like suit wearing in business its pretty much cultural indoctrination and racism.

[QUOTE=Krepps;23225880][I]A [B]planet[/B] (from Greek πλανήτης, alternative form of πλάνης "wanderer") is a celestial body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.[/I] From wikipedia. I think it's a pretty clear definition. You're talking out of your ass, and you're trying to sound like you have a higher understanding of human communication than you really do.[/QUOTE] This is not helping your point. You had to go look for the definition elsewhere. The OP was asking [i]you[/i] to define it.

[QUOTE=ThePuska;23226586]This is not helping your point. You had to go look for the definition elsewhere. The OP was asking [I]you[/I] to define it.[/QUOTE] I knew it already because I study science :cool: It's a big lump of rock that orbits a star. It's big enough to be round. It's smaller than a sun and doesn't glow by itself. That's a good definition of a planet for basically every purpose outside of astronomy, and i think it's common knowledge. Inexact definitions are fine, because if i say planet people will think of a rock in space, not a horse or something.

Then stick to science because you don't know anything about this beyond imperial prejudice

the fuck you on about.

I'm the only one who agreed...

With a painting, the person viewing it must distinguish the meaning behind it by looking at what the painting depicts visually, and deciding what this may indicate and how the artist meant it. With a literary piece of work, the reader must find the meaning through words. Now, if a painter were to make a mistake, the array of colours would most likely cover it up or, in some cases, the artist could use the mistake as a way to further the painting's meaning. If a writer makes a mistake, then the meaning of the word/sentence is lost, thus leaving the reader not truly understanding what the author was trying to show.

[QUOTE=DanTehMan;23221523]Also, sounding smart isn't that hard :downs:[/QUOTE] Nothing is hard. Doing it well and for a long time is.

Someone has just found out that society is opressing and controlling, in another category of modern life. gratz

[QUOTE=Christy;23222267]I don't want a change in power here, I just want the little guy to get a chance. I am so frustrated arguing with people over whether a given book is good or not based on the language and style used.[/QUOTE] If they only appeal to a tiny audience so almost noone hears, likes, cares about, or is even slightly interested in their work - this is generally known as [i]being shit[/i] It is nothing to do with being experimental and 'different' it all comes down to just being terrible work. Look at Rohl Dahl and Dr. Seuss's spanktastic rape of the English language. People go gay for those books, yet it is a very individual and unseen use of the language. John Freeman (Half Life: Full Life Consequences) would be another good example. Total buttfuck of the English language but still extremely popular. Again, it is nothing to do with style or language, just how [b]GOOD[/b] it is. What determines that is definitely not the style of language used.

Most of the ones you read now are revised editions, with all the mistakes carefully removed. The original ones, hell, sometimes he'd say the same word twice in a sentence and they'd be spelled differently. And look at him! One of the most well known writers of all time.

Good English is very important if you want to be taken seriously.

English is a shit language, but that's because it's not got any true systems. It's just a Frankenstein's monster of languages that only works because of the British ex-Colonies and sphere of influence.

Why are you pasting your blog here?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bio I enjoy constructive and open-ended projects. My last one was a pointless kind of fun that got me interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, oddly enough, and I thought that was a good time to abandon it to start something new. This is me trying something new; being an author.

If English language has been fucked up we can switch to Esperanto. or Latin.

Seriously we need a universal world language... With the SAME spellings and pronunciations.

Why would you consider someone a genius if they can't spell properly?

After I saw the whole bit about literature and painting I gave up on the OP, mainly because it's a stupid comparison- Artists all use the same base colors, same way an author uses the same base words (in whatever language they're writing in). It's really about what the painter does with the colors, or the author does with the words that make it art.

[QUOTE=DanTehMan;23221504]Although you talk so highly of the acceptance of mistakes in typography, I'm willing to place a wager that you took the utmost care to make sure everything in your little essay was well versed and written. It's the elitist people such as yourself, who thinks of themselves in a higher regard than the other, lesser peoples, who continue to contribute to the travesty of the hypocrisy of modern language.[/QUOTE] Depends. I type anywhere from between 100-120 words per minute, whereas my best record on a 500 word speed test is 116wpm with no errors. Typing is a muscle memory and so is spelling while typing, and so you get easily used to "using things like quotations" in that you don't need to think about spelling. Some people may nitpick their posts, but I don't. I just spell good out of habit, and people have often questioned me about it, but it's just my typing.
