Barely 17 and a few hundred posts into Anandtech. I shudder to think of any of my high school kids (I volunteer) getting involved here and dealing with the abuse. It's easy to shrug off as an adult but I don't think most teens are equipped to deal with it, and most flamers don't attempt to discriminate based on age.

<------ HUUUUUGE highlander fan :) my gaming username is methos :)


He was my favorite Immortal. Peter Wingfield, the actor who played him, is pretty awesome in real life. I think the last thing I saw him in was Sanctuary.

ahh never watched. so you've met him i take it? when i was in vancouver one year i saw jim byrnes (joe) at a mountain resort (can't remember which one.) i wanted to get his autograph but i chickened out :(

Loved that character. Main reason I dug that show so much.

Proper grammar and punctuation make threads easier to read. I am not saying that you need to be perfect or anything, just give more consideration into how you format your posts. People tend to judge your posts (and you) in a negative way if they think you don't know how to communicate effectively on the same level as most of the posters here.

You don't have to care what people think, of course, but it still helps readability to think before you post :)

yeah iam working on that , i im a lot and it left that impact on my style of writing
i just got the bad habit of pressing enter everytime i type a word
sadily i even started to write like this in my exams, this pnctuation is very hard to follow i mean i just cant get my mind to concentrate on full stops i mean type them after every line *yuck* and capitals at every line , i just cant get used to them(probably figures why i always get 80% in english when my friends get 90%+)

1.) I like to randomly hit enter while typing.
2.) I wish I had a golden member.
3.) I like big butts and I cannot lie
4.) Smileys are required in every post know what im sayin.
5.) Will work for signature.
6.) I had a sig but the bank foreclosed on it.

:laugh:

On the bright side, you already speak at least two languages fluently, even if you don't write properly in one. That's more than most Americans can say.

This. If your posting here helps you out with your English, all the better. But do be advised to scrutinize your posts a bit longer before submitting.

No one wants to read pokemon text/IM/email.

But what would ATOT be without nef threads :p
I think he just meant that you could contribute by posting in existing threads. Not only do you get your post count up, but you could actually help people, even if its something small as finding information online or giving an opinion on an important (or not so important) issue.

yeah i have been doing that a lot lately
but posting a new topic is a more effective way as posting in exsiting topic means u have to talk only about that topic
but having ur own topic gives u the luxury of selecting a topic on which you can post more
see like this one i intended to get some nice sig but so far no luck
DAMN i need to stop diverting the topic :(

:thumbsup: I didn't intend to be critical, just pointing out the somewhat rough nature of posting around here. I'll admit that I tend to dish a lot of flak for piss-poor grammar, though when it's clearly a non-native language issue, I back off. I have nothing but respect for that.

also...be careful of using these forums as an example of the English language. ;)

yeah i think ur post will be helpful to me, i didnt intend to mean that ur critical :p

our people are pretty good with english, the britshers ruled us for 200 years
they taught us english pretty good but its been like 60 years since they left us on our own
so some people like me are localising the language :)
all i need to get right is my punctuation (i dont think my grammar is that bad i mean i have taken special english as my preference in my high school, dunno what was so special about that)

well...your grammar is quite bad, unless you intend to post as if you are texting someone.

the message is this: if you are intentionally posting in an IM-type style, then you will generate a lot of ire around here. honestly, if your grammar is good, then you should use it.

but hey: for 17, 5th language, blah blah, It doesn't annoy me, at least.

he's referencing a press conference comment by the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals after they gave up a monumental lead and lost to the Bears 2 (3?) years ago.

yeah, football.
