while it is easy to learn Spanish

It's not easy. I took 2 years of it in high school. Didn't learn a single word.

She: I'm not a foreigner
ME: You are to me, just like I am to you. In each other eyes we are
both foreigners.
She: I'm not foreign, I'm American

Reminds me of a cartoon in my Communications book.

There is a couple of Americans in England. They're at a cafe looking at a lady eating. They say to her, "Excuse me, could you get up and give us your table. We're Americans"

Classic.

The ones I have no sympathy for are those people who exhault their educational status upon others but can't spell. If you're going to tell me I don't know what the fickle I'm talking about, at least spell the words right while you're doing it!

@ that indolikaa fellow:

Hey!

There are lots of us native English speakers who cannot spell
but have managed to get a few letters after our names.
You do not know what you are talking about!

Offline BSc (Bronze Swimming Certificate)

Bronze Swimming Certificate?

Actually, I have many letters after my name. I just don't think they're relevant here, even if they may pertain to the subject matter at hand...

Will,

since you managed not to drown (unlike me) could
you please explain.

@ tgpo

we must have the same book Business Communications ?

[SatStorm]

Thanks Will, I answer it now.
I use capital letters only on names , not on general terms....
americans, asians, europeans, africans are general terms. Or in english I have to use capitals for this? I don't know about this limitation...

Actually no. It's called Interplay. It's the book for my Interpersonal Communications class.

Let me guess. Not sociology... not psychology... not social work..
are you studing dramatic arts?

[tgpo]

are you studing dramatic arts?

Naw man. I'm a communications major with a cognate in video production.

[indolikaa]

My favorite is, of course, people who have BS (Bull Shit), MS (More of the Same) and PhD (Piled Higher and Deeper) and use that to explain why they know everything.

HEY! YOU LEFT ME OUT!
I have a B.A. ... what does it stand for ?

I don't know what other people use their degrees for, but mine looks pretty and takes up space on the wall in my home office.

I used to know the ones for BA and MA, but I forgot 'em.

Look! An opportunity to put a thread back ontopic. And this coming from the resident expert in thread hijacking: me!

This is an example of why newbies get flamed. Right here, in print and fit for all to read.

* No mention of what guide was used,
* No mention of what settings were used,
* No mention of what process was used,
* No mention of anything that would help 'us' troubleshoot the problem,

But also not a hint of warez. And that's good.


I think bugster summed up the feelings exactly. And this is one of the reasons why I disagree with trekkieman.

simple idiot-barrier

Can I have one of those?

[Will Hay]

Will Hay, I am referring to this post:

The thread is locked but it's about time these kind of people are reminded to report a post and not goad/bait a member into discussing warez.
It's a moderators job, no-one else's.
Regardless of whether this member has now had his/her membership deleted, I'm sick and tired of seeing this shit going on.
Will Hay

I don't see your point.
How can you contrue my post as triple dipping (I do like that phrase!).
I never commented on that specific post beforehand, and before my opinion was noted on this topic the message to which you refer was the first (of it's kind, recently).
What exactly are you accusing me of supreme-person?

Yes, there is, and contrary to some it does not either follow the books (any books) nor does it continue after Series 9

Check out reddwarf.co.uk, for what it's worth.

You triple-dipped by proxy. The post was bantered about in the thread, reported (in a whiny manner), then locked. Actually, you may have performed the vaunted "quad-dip"

basically, when you complain about someone else complaining, you become the bigger idiot.

Yes, but bugster is a mod, and said there would be no hand-holding, but did not insult the poster. That was the original point of the thread. Not much chance of this thread staying on topic anymore.... I thought about reporting this thread as having gone waaaay off topic, but would hate to see the reprisal of me reporting my own thread!
