actaully that saying, its for the birds, means its for gay people :D...just clearin that up for u

Um, ahem, excuse me fellas. I hate to interupt your arguement over punctuation . . .

BUT

Does it really matter? Petty shit is all this is.

REAL petty shit.

And not even TOM PETTY shit.

Otherwise it'd be the good shit, eh? ~

I can deal with the odd misplaced period but what really grinds my gears is when people type out a long ass post and forget to divide it into paragraphs, i dont even bother reading it unless the first few posts make the story look promising.

o and people who use a "," as a "." when they drag on a thought,,,,,i unno it jus gts annoyng

No I am not. Read nochowders post. He is saying something

read its a plant's post, he is saying something

read oneironaut's post, he is saying something.


I was just relaying that they had said something that expressed care for subject.

Where you said "I don't care and neither does anyone else" I was just trying to politely show you that you were wrong. Because others do care, as shown in their posts, not by me speaking for them.

Just let yourself be wrong... its ok really...

J D Salinger employed the phrase 'strictly for the birds' in Catcher In The Rye (1951), and that seems to be the earliest known usage. In 1957 a writer in the journal American Speech wrote, 'The metaphor alludes to birds eating droppings from horses and cattle'.

Lol, either way, I don't care. ~

For the Birds

Instead of writing an open letter to the birds who pooped all over my car, I'll talk about this other crap from Missouri. I have to share my amazement that 71% of MO could approve a state constitutional ban on gay marriage. Perhaps I am so morally derelict that I am incapable of even comprehending the arguments against gay marriage, but from where I'm standing it seems like 71% of Missouri's populace are bigots.

It seems the biggest argument against allowing homosexuals to marry is that it somehow defiles the sanctity of the union. What exactly this means when the divorce rate is so absurdly high, even in Missouri itself, is unclear to me. What exactly this means when some of the most famous murders of recent history have happened within the bonds of marriage is unclear to me. What sanctity, exactly, is being protect


just a small excerpt :D have a nice day :thumbsup:

read my signiture... i think its still there

yea... the very last quote

oh yeah? Well... your mom.

Although grammar can get bad enough around here to render posts indecipherable, it's not that big of a deal to me. It's not like he is completely out of line by asking for higher standards in this regard (although it did come off a little snotty and presumptuous), but I find this problem works itself out. If someone takes the time to type a coherent and concise message, it generally gets read and replied to more often, reinforcing the behavior of using correct grammar. A block of gibberish gets ignored more often.

But even if conditioning does not extinguish the behavior, you are probably better off NOT reading posts by members who are incabable of constructing a sentence regardless. Are you really losing sleep over the possibility you missed some profound, groundshaking insight buried in the middle of goldnugz420's latest rambling nonsense?

A period, is what you use when you finish a sentence, like this.<------:)

So if you want people to understand what you're saying, then please, use a period. I'm not here to tell you what to do, just to make you, make sense.

Thank you, that is all. :cool:

Ha, I feel like an idiot. Over 90% of my posts can be found with zero periods and a million commas... My bad!

Amen to that! :thumbsup:

Why they put the comma and period so close to each other on the keyboard? Especially if you got fat fingers, it can be a challenge to control. Honestly I wish my period would end now, but that's a different topic.

Bring back Kraloth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the use of a period ( . ) states point.

I'm with you bro, it's so hard to read a post that's missing puntuation! Quite often I just won't read it. I feel the need to ask, why do you guys call it a period? Across the pond here in the UK, we call it a FULL STOP. Just curious....can someone enlighten me please?

Peace

Buddy

its really not a big deal

the use of a period is to let women of uk know their body is functioning properly, if we miss a period we are generally fucked. period.lol

I'm not sure why it's called a period. It's just a word meaning, stop, the end, kind of thing. I'll ask whoever invented the Englosh language. :p J/K

What a funny thread this has turned into. :thumbsup:

Next week, we'll talk about run-on sentences. ;)

Jus my two cents.
Some come from a time period when typing was not taught to a lot of males in school (60's-70's), educators back then thought that Guys needed wood and auto shop and Girls Typing and Home Economics.
Having said this all I ask is that ya'll bear with me,If you needed your Chevy 396 rebuilt,not a problem... if you needed a term paper of resume well then I ain't the one!
