Taking stock of me.

some insights

from JoeUser Forums
Oh where to start? We own our own home, not the bank, us. But I can't spell.

We own a cma and stock and bonds through Merril Lynch. But my grammar sucks.

Our credit report is 830. But I dropped out of high school.

I created not one but two sucessfull buisnesses and retired at 55. But I make simple errors in english.

We own stock in two different energy companies alot of stock. But I just cannot spell properly.

We have a pma account with wells fargo. But they never correct my spelling when I have to write checks.

Our home is filled with new furnature, quality wood and such. Yet I cannot spell half the stuff we own.

My wife gets a new car every two years, I get one every four. But my grammar does not seem to bother the auto outlets.

Gee maybe if I had better english skills I could be broke like some of the losers here. Nope I think I like being dumb and rich.

Yes, you and Shakespeare both

Interestingly, no one really cared much about English spelling until a couple of hundred years ago when a couple of dictionary nerds (Samuel Johnson in England, Noah Webster in America) decided to tell everyone the one and only correct way to spell words.

I happen to be a good speller (good memory and slightly anal) but I always get some words wrong (like 'honour', 'colour', 'favourite' and 'grey'...)

Reply By: little_whipPosted: Sunday, June 05, 2005The only time I pick on someone's spelling is when they are calling other people, (like the President) "morons" when they are barely literate themselves, or when they are spending tons of time in JU bitching about how unfair the world is and that they can't seem to find a job, (like JoeKnowledge.)Other than that, who cares?


obviously some here think spelling and proper grammar make them somehow better than the less BOOK educated. It must be a very low estime problem to try to demean others so they can feel better about there drug induced mess of a life.

The fact is that it's not your spelling that's the problem. The problem is that it's always the hate messages that your bad spelling is wrapped around. Take some stock of that, why don't you. What a joke.

I see no hate messages in the vast bulk of my last 40 posts dabe, and surely there is no hate here at all, I think you look for things that are not there with me dabe, maybe you should rethink things. And the "what a joke" is those kind of comments necessary for you to make a point? some would view that remark as provacative. But I just consider the source.

The main reason I went into computers as a career is that I sucked at spelling!  I wrote my own word processor back in 1980 (On a Honeywell Mainframe).

Am I stupid?  Nope, I just have different priorities.  Learning about the latest Switching Routing Equipment is more important to me than figuring out how to spell separate correctly.

Besides, I got the Fazz to help me with my spelling on this site!

Technically, these are not incorrect spellings. These are the european/British way of spelling. I do it all the time because I'm so used to it. Then sometimes I correct myself and sometimes I don't!

It should be remembered that when a kidergartener learns to write words and sentences, spelling is not as important as the child actually knowing what's being said and can use the words correctly! Spelling comes afterwards!


have nothing better to contribute I say fark them

Good one gimpy!

here is something for you to ponder dabe, YOU ARE the only one that seems to think I am filled with hatred, yet many many people here think you are hatred personified.

Hehe! I know now that it doesnt matter if my english sucks, i'll be rich when i hit 55!

Who cares, really. It seems as though some people need to create issues such as this in order to validate themselves. I'm with Gimpyone - fark 'em if they can't take a joke. Incidentally, I consider myself a good speller but a lousy typist. Does this make me dumber than the average bear?

Cheers,

Maso

I think the conservatives here are driving off the liberals. I'm seeing less and less postings by liberals all the time. And, I've read so many hate articles coming from conservatives directed at liberals, and many, many of them are coming from you, moderateman. So, I think that when the only person who seems to think you're hateful is dabe, maybe it's because the only others left here to post are conservatives of like mind. Is this the way joeuser is supposed to be? Is this what the site administrators wish for joeuser? I'm kind of confused. Because if this is so, maybe I should just go away, also. Otherwise, I will see myself becoming the target of all your hate, and frankly, I don't need it.

Another thing. Why is this in the humor section? I'm kind of missing the joke, I suppose.

good.

if disagreeing with the sickness of the far left is hate, well then I guess you are right.

Otherwise, I will see myself becoming the target of all your hate, and frankly, I don't need it.


again I say I do not know anyone here well enough to hate them, altho I have grown fond of a few, whip, the 2 doc, njforver, oneguyinslc, tex, dharma ,mano, the fazz, shovelheat, islandgurl, alison watkins, foreverserenity,, all in all a nice mix of conservatives and "crazed" liberals.

Thank you for being so honest.

Well, I contend that the far right is the sickest bunch of whackos this country has ever had to suffer, and the most dangerous for this country and the rest of the world. So here we really disagree. So, I guess you can just hate me now, and stop pretending that you are not a hateful person. You really are one of the most hateful people I've encountered here.

I'm still waiting for the site owners/administrators to answer my question. Is this kind of hateful intolerance what you envision for joeuser? Because, from what I have been reading, this is what you have.
