Assembled my art portfolio and finished typing my letter to go with it.

Reed, can you please not type like that? I think I speak for a large majority of us when I say posting like that is really annoying to see.

Here on the message board you've got time to type out your posts properly.

I think that was more of a sarcastic post due to whatever, god, grammar nazi's and so on.

Ah, well I wouldn't know. I've had a long day and I can barely read things properly (have already misread simple questions on my quizzes twice today for example), especially with my mind racing with 3,000,000 things I have to do and when and not having enough damn time in a day to do them. I can barely think.

In other news, final exams are in two days. Charging right along with my studying now. Doing pretty good. I shall be ready.

Being a high class Grammar nazi, it really hurt typing those 2 posts. I think my fingers are bleeding.

I'm a firm believer as long as it is understandable and the correct message is sent, who cares about grammar and spelling.

[Morgan]

I'm no grammar Nazi myself, since I short hand a little bit here and there and it's fine (for anyone). It just makes my brain bleed reading a message deliberately and entirely written so. Very likely I totally missed the sarcasm earlier since, like I said, my brain is too tied up right now to really think and to especially try to have even read long enough to understand the post to begin with. And if it is so that I missed sarcasm like that earlier when I made my post then my apologies. But no worries, we're all squared away now.

Besides, I think Kef is the BIGGEST grammar Nazi around here.

And now... I need some dinner...give my brain a chance to recuperate before it vomits.

I learned something from one of my English Proffessors that has stuck with me-

What really matters is not how you write it, it is what your saying. You can not write for something you don't believe in an you can not write for something you don't like.

Never the less, I still got docked on all my assignments for grammer and spelling...

On an unrealated note: GAH! My avatar space tends to take up more than my posts!

[chief]

I'm trying to learn better grammar. Especially seeing as myself and Saber are working on another comic project with me as the writer. Which works out perfectly fine. However my grammar has never been great so its something I am trying to improve on.

[RedAuthar]

Yeesh, if I learned anything about comicing, writer (or grammer editor) have the hardest jobs. I hate trying to write scripts for comics.

At many of the meetings I go to for such things as my halo fanfic, the rpg that I'm starting(trying to convince my staff), and other stuff, our powerpoint guy, otto, makes these tiny mistakes like "it is will be the best rpg ever" and I start twitching during the entire meeting.(looks back at quote and starts twitching) curse....you....otto....

I always got in trouble for misplaced modifiers and run ons. A certain someone can vouch that I'm particularly bad with adding multiple points into one sentence alone.

Always got docked for not understanding a passage just right either. But...really when their passages get so fucking wordy, it's hard for ME to even remember what the point was anyway! And it doesn't help that I have ADHD. Can't sit still, can't pay attention very long, very easily distracted. It kinda sucks.

Now...just imagine why it's been difficult for me to study my computer stuff. Not only is it easy to distract me but what else? Yes. The lessons are VERY wordy. Now if you think being wordy was bad enough, let's also not forget the fact that I have NEVER ever been able to learn by reading. I'm a visual learner.

I don't really think it's necessary to describe the three BILLION ways a monitor puts a picture on a screen. A lot of the information you'll never need anyway. It's only for the A+ Certification exam. I can understand though. The lessons aren't designed for someone with some understanding of computers. They're designed for the completely computer illiterate. Which annoys me just a tad since there's too much unnecessary information in my opinion, but had I not known shit about a computer, I might not have felt the same.

[RedAuthar]

I hate it when they ask for your opinion and than dock you because you are wrong. If that is what I think it means, than that is my opinion, so HOW THE *bweep* CAN I BE WRONG!?

[Reed Teran]

Well, I just can't stand the fact that even though all grammar nazis do is correct spelling and grammar, people hound me just because the word "nazi" is in there. I stride down the halls minding my own business when all of a sudden I get hit with things like "jewkiller", "hitler worshipper", and "skinhead". WTF!? Its even more offensive because I'm also German!

[RedAuthar]

GAH! The Nazi party did NOT represent all of Germany. I hate it when people just assume all German's are Nazis.

[Morgan]

I'm part German as well, but interestingly enough I used to get picked on for being Asian instead. Just things like "Chink" "cat eater" whatever... I'm not even Chinese. I'm half Korean. And funny enough, one of the people who used to do that got his throat slit in prison when he was 19. One of the others got curb stomped one day when he made fun of kids on the bus home calling them "niggers" and "Spics". Got his neck stepped on and it was hilarious as hell. So... karma?

@RedAuthar I get what you mean. My US History professor would give you no points if you didn't word the answer EXACTLY like he did. Not even partial credit.

[Reed Teran]

So now, as tradition in the teran family demands, its random conversation time.
P1: sir, may I have a hotdog?
P2: but sir, yellow goes with that color.
P1: yes, that is my car.
P2: we only serve hamburgers at this shoe store.....
SOME ONE HELP

[RedAuthar]

May those teachers find peace in the after life, and rabid black widows and scorpions in their beds today.

[Reed Teran]

But sir, I requested the neck operation!
