Sorry everyone but I had to comment after reading this from Northdude.
Just because someone doesn't use the best grammar or punctuation doesn't mean that they deserve to have shit thrown at them because of it. What a bunch of self righteous tossers you come across as. I have worked with an old guy in the past and a young fella not to long ago who both struggled with the written language but when it come to doing their job in the engineering field and being a valued and skilled member of the team they matched anyone else and sometimes did better.
Remember, everyone has something that they do better than everything else they can do. Acceptance is one of the greatest qualities a person can possess.

Worked with dyslexics and people who can’t spell over the years. The brain has a remarkable ability to adapt....

Yep I've worked with people that couldn't even write or read or do maths but when it came to actually doing it with their hands it was some truly amazing work that would put a lot of the above the rest type of people with all the bits of paper to shame

Agreed - also this is the litmus test for anyone who feels that they aren't as polished with their grammar and spelling - if someone who is good at these things talks down to you then they are a pompous twat

My facility with language is above average and my ability to royally screw things up is also above average

I'm of two minds. A lot of posts must have been drunk typed but the concentration required to type anything that long while pissed to the gills is a superhuman effort

Strangely, I recall reading a few that were, for want of a better word, 'picture perfect'. More questions than answers.

I'm sure you do, along with other mildly interested members. However, is it not obvious that the answer will have to come from him who has resigned and is therefore unlikely to either read your request nor, accordingly answer it?

Even a P.M. should, if he who has resigned is sincere, be ignored.

resign? from the forum?really?
obviously a bit ruffled but how dramatic.
He'll be back,
I guess the true measure of his disdain is that the "resignation" was not afforded any literary flair.

I'd have to agree with you. On the flip side, the 'resignation' has certainly attracted notoriety.

Suspect we have more dyslexics in the English-speaking world because we for historical reasons, including the Normans and the printing press, spell words non-phonetically.

Like spelling forred "forehead".

Wy shud spellin not be fonetic? Who says wot is correct?

Interesting. He seemed (generally) more coherent than Sam Hunt and not disposed to poetry.

And don't you mean, mispronouncing "forehead" as "forred"?

If you speak the queens english, it's a lot more phonetic, but yea, it's a pretty crap language, lots of stupid rules.

It has been said that English borrows words from other languages.

It has also been said that it doesn't borrow words from other languages, it follows them into dark alleys, knocks them down, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Speaking of Germans... English is a Germanic, not a Latin tongue. Sure, with many French/Latin words, but you can throw them all out and we will still have a tongue that works with more than only its bare bones.

Like the words above.

I met him once. Outside Olivers in Clyde. He drove a black '64 Chevy. He staggered out fairly pissed, spoke just as he sounded when doing his poems. Talking like that and pissed made it close to impossible to understand him.

Terry Pratchett?

I don't know what the story is with him. I tried reading one of his books and it hurt my head by page 2.

Same thing with Catch -22 by Joseph Heller. (A review of Catch-22 said that it wasn't written, so much as shouted onto paper. Very true.)

Quite enjoyed that. Sardonic look at the economy.

I think it was one of his fantasy novels.

I had a few goes at reading catch 22. The prose wasn't for me but the mini series on tvnz on demand is gold.

Watched the movie in the early 70’s and at the end of the movie walked out thinking ‘what the hell was that about?’

Yeah, it's a bit sardonic. The tvnz one is pretty easy viewing

Took me a few goes too. All those Booker Prize etc major award books are bloody hard to read, something in the water those major literary types drink I guess.

......About 7 years, 4 months and 2 weeks overdue.........

is @kotuku back yet? anyone got a line to him to see if he's alright?

got txt couple of day after to say he ok.

Crackup, I've had saner shit shouted at me by people that were too pissed to stand up under their own steam. Even better, people bitching about politics free anything, until the tahr get on the agenda - then the cunts can't yell loud enough to mobilise.

Judge the man after you meet him. we all have our place in the world. Strangely enough we may actually stand on common ground and enjoy each other's company !
