I'd like to share with you a quote from a fine, and most keen, gentleman by the name of Joesph Robertson:
"The art of punctuation is of infinite consequence in writing; as it contributes to the perspicuity, and consequently to the beauty, of every composition."
Ahh. Doesn't everything just feel prettier, now?
not withstanding some of the great works throughout the centuries which enjoyed considerable literary license, i might agree with Mr. Robertson.. particularly if this were a term paper or postdoctoral thesis. but it isn't.
my content is substantive.. my responses have been honest, n tho my form of writing may 'annoy' certain members of this group, i don't believe i've had any problem making myself understood.
while the dissenters among u r busy re-writing the 1st amendment, why not also BAN musical compositions such as the Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man", the Stones' "Gimme Shelter", or Fats Domino's "A Whole Lotta Lovin'"?
just to restate what's already been said.. i'm a professional ROCK MUSICIAN, which by its very definition is non-conforming. this is who 'i' am.. pink included.
i'm not a reg here.. i'm not competing in a spelling bee, n what everyone seems to be up in arms about is my use of a foreign language apparently unknown to u, called 'chatspeak'.
yes.. i'm a foreigner here. ur admonishing someone who's in this forum for the 1st time to answer questions, because she has an accent n dresses funny. i wonder if u display the same dogmatic intolerance outside ur little box.
but, at least U were polite about it lol
n in case it's still not blatantly obvious.. Magua understands English verriwell
btw.. did u mean "Joseph Robertson"?
No. No. You don't get to be righteously indignant about this. It's not part of the first amendment that nobody can complain about the way you talk. We have said nothing about the way you dress, nothing about your "accent." We are not "intolerant." We aren't unfamiliar with chatspeak. And we're not trying to censor you or ban what you're saying, so stop acting like you're some misunderstood victim.
We're telling you that this is how this works in these forums- people talk in complete sentences, with spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and not in colors that make it hard on the eyes. If you want to talk like that, for the sake of "nonconformism," that's fine, but don't expect us not to call you out on your bullshit. Talking in chat speak is annoying to read and makes it more of a chore to read what you say. The same goes for the pink.
In the end, you're getting up in arms about us telling you how things work here. So stop trying to play the victim.
Well, hallo there.
