JohnRich 4 #204 September 24, 2010 QuoteYou never were young?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix Since you were talking about the English language, the correct spelling is "asterisk". By the way, using double question marks is improper - just one is enough. Asking questions for which you already know the obvious answer is also dumb.

JohnRich 4 #205 September 24, 2010 QuoteEasy, Mr. Rich. Not many Germans enter that funny SC forum. Irrelevant. Quotehow many Americans do enter the German forum???? Hmmm?? Irrelevant. QuoteWould YOU be capable to correct my German? Irrelevant. QuoteHow many languages do you speak (fluently), Mr. Rich? Irrelevant. Do you feel that this gives you some moral authority to criticize others, while standing immune from others who make like responses toward yourself?

rhaig 0 #206 September 25, 2010 Quote Would YOU be capable to correct my German? How about this: If anyone comes over to the German forum and tries to correct your German and in the process makes a grammatical full of themselves while doing so, then you feel free to ridicule them there. Ok? Until then, put on your big girl panties and deal with it.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok? Until then, put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Same question to you: "Would YOU be capable to correct my German?" No. But that doesn't really pertain to this matter. If I came to the German forum and tried to (poorly) correct your German I'd expect some ridicule. however, I did not. So put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Anyway, spelling and grammar flames are the lowest form of argument. If that's all you've got, just go home.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, the correct way of writing that question is: "Would YOU be capable of correcting my German?" JR, I'm curious, have you ever read Huckleberry Finn? I'm not sure there's a sentence in it that follows "proper" grammar and spelling, yet it's considered to be one of, if not the, quintessential and greatest American novels.

JohnRich 4 #212 September 25, 2010 QuoteJR, I'm curious, have you ever read Huckleberry Finn? There's a difference between incorrect grammar from ignorance, and intentionally writing incorrectly for literary creativity. I don't believe christelsabine is the equivalent of Samuel Clemens here. She's certainly no Plato when it comes to logic, either. And since she's the one that wants to dwell on incorrect spelling, giving her a taste of her own medicine is fair play. I think the practice is dumb, since everyone misspells or mistypes things now and then. And no sooner than you've pointed out someone else's mistakes, then sure enough, someone is going to point out your own. Therefore, we should generally refrain from such behavior and just concentrate on the ideas being conveyed. But sometimes, when someone just refuses to do that, and instead lingers on the spelling mistakes and uses it as a means of casting personal insults, then a counter-attack can be warranted. So what I'm trying to do here is to dissuade her from further such attacks, by showing her that she isn't perfect either. That way we can cease this petty crap and get back to the actual subject of this thread. How about you? What do you think of the trend of "More Guns. Less Crime?"

That's not the case at all.However, their unwillingness to listen to a different opinion does have a tendency to block communication. It stifles real discussion.We're all damaged a bit from the lives we've lead. I'll readily admit that.Not everybody will.life either grinds you up or polishes you up , your choice !
