Again, friendly heads up; Someone is about to slap you with a reminder about Tone and Content... tred lightly.


I believe Rocketryan was just trying to give you some info in a friendly manner.

 

[Red-Water.06]

thanks piper, It's just that I've went through many times "this happened because people didn't read the edited part". Then there's Ryan saying something without reading the first page. I apologize for that attitude, I'm just having a bad day for being "a whiner" at good intention of humour and sharing information.

Mate, another friendly warning. You have not been on here long enough, or have established yourself well enough to even suggest that to other members of the forum. As to the "whiner" comment, you'll be addressed as many different things if you get into the CF. How you take some of those comments and how you excel at making yourself different then your peers, will dictate how others view you.

So long story short:  The irony is when you were all gung-ho to join, you couldn't get in.  Now, you don't care and you're getting in.
Do I have it right?

A little pointer, take it as you will:  You know how to use the Edit function.....use the Spell Check function too. 
What would be great is if there were grammar check as well but we can only hope for so much.  I know some people take their time, do up their post in Word, use spell and grammar check and then cut and paste in here.  I realize that English may not be your first language (?) and for the most part, your posts are okay (except for the whining  ) and then I see something like this:

One my email accounts is waited17yrs. Yesterday was Feb.27th 2008, from  1991 feb 27th I waited 17 years to get into the forces.

which barely makes sense.

I envy those people whom have much time in their hands. Gr.11 life at least in this semaster consumes most of my time.
'One my email accounts is waited17yrs. Yesterday was Feb.27th 2008, from  1991 feb 27th I waited 17 years to get into the forces'
doesn't  make sense and I'm saying "What the heck was I saying?"
It was supposed to be
One of my e-mail ccounts is waited 17yrs.  Yesterday was Feb.27th 2008, from 1991 Feb 27th I waited 17 years to ge in the forces.

BTW you're right with that irony, the second irony I screwed it up and I admit it.

Ok... I'm going to have to Hijack this thread, just for a short joy ride..

Maybe it's just me, but I firmly believe that Spell Check and Grammar Check are (or will be) responsible for the downfall of society.  I know this sounds eccentric, but thanks to poor spelling and grammar the written word is in decline. Because we let it slide everywhere; on the internet. In public advertising... everywhere.  People seem to believe they can rely on Spell Check and Grammar Check to correct every fault, and when it's not available they fall back to poor language skills.  This creates language barriers... which shouldn't happen within the same language.  Spelling and Grammar Checkers lead people to believe that words like irregardless are proper English. So much so that irregardless isn't caught by most spell checkers...  Even the words Ginormous and Imbiggens are being considered for additions to the Oxford English Dictionary solely because of their common use in speech and writing (thank you, Simpsons).  This is just wrong.  Soon the ever-annoying L33t HaX0R internet language will be recognized thanks to the generation of idiot kids plugged in to their generations Boob-tube (I can say this 'cause I'm at the trailing edge of this group.)
Soon we won't even be able to effectively communicate. Then one day, one of these under educated, computer-bottle fed spell checkers will find themselves writing a simple letter without technology, the recipient of which will misinterpret the simplest dialog, take offense and choose the wrong way to react... and if these morons happen to be world leaders; voila, WW3...

No sir. not on my watch. Read a book.   

(I'm not really mad...  just teasin')

Jesus, i think you f**ked it up worse the second time through

Your military career will be short lived unless you can learn to accept constructive criticism in any matter it is delivered to you. Just remember Mouth shut, Eyes and Ears open

 

[PMedMoe]

RHFC Piper, I agree with you 100%, however, in some cases I will make allowances.
Maybe the Spell and Grammar check are not as much the downfall of society as test messaging will be.  Abbreviations that are not common and no capitalization or punctuation seems to be the norm.
BTW, I love to read and am quite lost without a book (or two) on the go!

I suppose... it's the abuse of it that gets me.

Agreed.  MSN-speak make me want to virtually choke people.

The book comment was really just generic...  not directed at you.  (more for the young one.  )

RHFC_piper: Don't go throwing all of the young folks into the techno age where we don't know how to spell by ourselves anymore. Fact of the matter is, even people who are my age (18 at the moment) didn't go to elementary school with computers. We didn't get our hands on real computers until middle school (At least where I come from). We had classes on cursive writing, which are apparently being phased out by typing classes... Anyways, some of us pride ourselves in good hand written communication skills, and I must say I like sending a snail mail letter much more than an email. It is just more personal that way.

Now onto the topic at hand. Greenrubberduckie: Just so you know, grade 11 is not the hardest year you are ever going to face. Keep in mind many people on this forum have completed high school as well as post secondary education. Let me just make a friendly comment that university is much busier than grade 11. Trust me...

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming!

 

[dwalter]

Nope, but it's harder than grade 11. From the amount of work the people I know in upper year have, I'm pretty sure it's not going to get much less than that. That's not to say much though, because grade 12 was easier than grade 11...

Misread and I have since removed my post

Is "misread" even a word?    ;D

hehehe apparently so  ;D

Time for a new dictionary.    :-\

No worries.

Yes, misread is a word, the dictionary says so. (Yes I actually looked it up....)

 

[Red-Water.06]

well it was very unpleasant to share my story. I guess I could say in the end, it was worth it. I like all the buds in the unit. Apparentely some of them recognize me from my prior experience.
I will shut my beak for a year or more since whatever I'm doing on this forum won't get me anywhere better.
