"I try to make a habit of bouncing my eyes up to the face of a beautiful woman, and often repeat “not mine” in my head or even verbally. She’s not mine. God has her set aside. She’s not mine. She’s His little girl, and she needs me to fight for her by keeping my eyes where they should be."
I am probably one of those people who are guilty of this kind of bad english. I for one never finished high school (oh bad me). Instead of finishing high school I hid from abusive parents. I made sure I was alive.
Instead I focused on making sure I had money to survive. Therefore I learned a trade, went to work, and earned a paycheck. There are many like me out there. Do I wish I learned better english? Of course I do. Am I ashamed at times for my english? Yes I am.
However I am not ashamed that I have been able to provide for myself and my family. I am not ashamed that I have been able to make an honest living and not fall back on what the texts books of many lawyers, social workers, and judges say that I should have fallen into. See I was told many years ago I would live a life of drug abuse and alcholism (because of the trend in my family).
I am proud to say that I don't live that kind of life. I am also proud that I don't have to rip people off to raise my kids. I am however not proud of my english skills. Maybe if I wasn't running away at the age of 14 to survive I might have had better english skills today.
Before you post anymore on other peoples english skills (this is the 5th or 6th I have seen from you) remember there may be something about you that annoy other people. Also it may not always be someones fault for thier english.
There is an old saying: "Don't judge others lest you be judged yourself."

Really...
When I type on a message board or even in a quick email message or icq I'm doing so much shit who cares if the shit's spelled correctly or not.
Now if it's a business letter to a client etc, yeah I'll proofread that damn thing over and over and spell check it etc.
But usually on message boards the first person to scream about spelling or grammer in a debate is the one who's usually losing and has no where else to take their argument.

Sorry I'm one of the ones that don't know the difference, my spelling is worse then my 6 year olds but ya know what I can't say I don't give a shit because I do! It really sucks when my kid brings home his kindagarden HOMEwork and im like um FUCK I don't know how to do this. SO sometimes I have to send it back with a dear Mrs Teacher Joeys daddy is so stupid and don't understand this simple shapes homework.
But fark it everyday Im relearning what I should of learned when I was in school. I think I've came along way since I started in this biz. And I do know it has hurt me in some sales *spelling mistakes* Ole well You will find people that will bash you just cause they are so anal and in need of a huge butt plug!!

In most cases it probably simply comes from a genetic urge for many in the US to change words so that they are spelt the way that they pronounce them. The only difference is that these guys haven't yet sat down and rewritten the entire dictionary to bastardise English still further.
Couldn't care less how people type. If its faster for me to type (your) instead of (you're) then i'm going to type (your).
I flunked school and my spelling sucks but I make fantastic money so does that really make me a lesser person cause I can't spell as good as the next person.
You've got to understand that there are people with different abbilities in life, I mean my brother has a photographic memory and knows how to spell every damn word in the dictionary. I can't visualize anything in my mind at all and so I find it hard to remember a lot of stuff, my brother tells me he sees the word in his mind by (visualizing it) and thats one of the main reasons he can remember it. I on the other hand can't visual any words or images in my mind and thats one of the reasons why I can't spell very well.
Who cares about a little bit of bad grammer. Shit I don't even know what good grammer is. :-)

Hey I love it Hope people keep comming here spouting off their mouths that they don't like somone just cause they can't spell! I love it just means in a few months/year they wont be around. Keep up the good work wanna be's Keep on making your millions by spelling
Who cares! I took one typing class in ninth grade. In ninth grade I was fourteen years old, that was twenty-six years ago. Even through my Masters program I made it through using my current typing skills. My days of trying to impress someone by my excellent typing and writing skills have long since passed. You might consider that someones typing or writing skills could be based more on the schedule and work load they maintain and not on the education level they hold.

If we are going to judge someone.... why not judge them on the content of there character instead of the content of there vocabulary. When it comes right down to it... does anything else really matter?

So basically, you're saying that you're comfortable wallowing in ignorance and stupidity?
Writing Skills...... A
Grammer ...... A
Typing...... A
Plays well with others...... D
Social Skills...... D-
Ability to make new friends....... Parent, teacher conference
desired.
"Ignorance and stupidity" are not necessarily defined by ones academic skills.

Of course. But I think intelligence is important. Curiosity to keep studying (even just in a business sense) is important.
And I think bad spelling is just a sign up mental laziness.
Fuck me, if someone doesn't understand how to use fucking apostrophes, and they're older than 16, they're just embarrassing themselves each time they type.
The sig. you have choosen makes your "opinion" so very crystal clear. Your sig. IS the definition of ignorance.

This might be a good time for a self examination. Unless you are a member of this board for reasons other than "business" you might not want to insult the largest percentage of board members.

Are you saying my sig isn't truthful?
And why should I care if I insult people here. Are you so sensitive? Should I handle you with kid gloves?
As someone else said, this isn't the "Oh Behave!" board. It's "Go Fuck Yourself". Get used to it.
Fucking retard. You obviously don't understand differences of opinion. And if you don't believe in freedom of speech (if you happen not to agree with what I'm saying) that's most amusing.
