PPC is bad bad bad

[Quixote]

I'd be more impressed if the trolls learned how to spell.  Misspelling words and using the wrong
words altogether detracts greatly from their credibility.  Trolls frequently mix words
interchangably.  For example:

"your" with "you're",
"there" for "their" for "they're",
"its" for "it's",
"here" for "hear",
"then" for "than",

...and so on.  It's as if they believe that any homonym is equally as suitable as another.  Futher, I
see apostrophies placed where they don't belong, -such as for the plural, which is incorrect- or
missing altogether.  And of course, there are barbarisms such as:

"different than" instead of "different from",
"people that" instead of "people who"

And on and on.  And don't get me started on punctuation.

Really now, Greenday5000, Mips_Proc.  Are the degreed engineers at Amiga, Hyperion and Eyetech
supposed to defer to your superior wisdom when you haven't even mastered your own native language
sufficently to convey your ideas to others?


Take care...

Hey there, Kronos, everybody.


Read my post again more carefully, please.  I hadn't said that.  Just because trolls tend to use poor
english doesn't mean everyone with poor english is a troll.  All squares are rectangles, but not all
rectangles are squares.  All circles are ellipses, but not all ellipses are circles.  You get the
idea.

It's been my experience that foreign students who learn english as a second language do so very well.
 They pay attention in the classroom and study and practice in their free time, because learning the
new language is important to them.

The abuses I listed in my earlier post are most common among American born-and-raised high school
-and sometimes college- students who lived all their lives speaking only one language, but never
bothered to learn it use it well.


Sorry if you mis-understood...
