Use of non-standard spellings! My opinion.

[dmc]

Maybe it's just more important to me because we finally received word that Dani is ok. A number of us who know her have been quite worried and concerned about her well being. I guess it means more when it is personal.

I wouldn't start measuring how tradgedy affects people - at least in public.. When the whole 911 thing went down - I promised myself I'd let people grieve for whatever and however they wanted and not make judgement...

Getting into the whole - "this affected me more" thing can end in people feeling hurt...

Glad Dani is Ok...

Some society we live in!

People have all sorts of comments to add to this post, but not one person has commented on the post about the letter from the hurricane Katrina survivor.

foul ball! :-? :blink:

 

[cantdog]

I hate it when people talk with double negatives when they really mean a single negative. It just makes them look stupid as they contradict themselves.

negative + negative = positive

My point exactly. I hate hearing things like, "I don't want no....," or anything with that uncalled for "no" in it.

Rap is poetry and poetry is art. Art does not have to follow any rules.

Teachski, you're showing your age!!!

 

[ctenidae]

If/When I have a kid, he's gonna be named Art, so that people do things for his sake. And, he won't have to follow any rules. Except mine.

Seriously! Haven't we all gone through those rebellious teenage years....when it was fun just to do/say things for their shock value? No, this isn't a "teeny-bopper" site, but as far as being "mature adults", please, speak for yourself, because you and I don't even speak the same language!!! And P.S., I enjoy seeing boys wear pants that way!!! YEE-HA!

 

[riverc0il]

teach, has anyone slipped an "all your base are belong to us" into the papers you are grading? sorry, all this l33t speak put that thought into my head.

Not measuring the whole tragedy, just the fact that Dani's well being is probably more important to people who know her than those who do not. People who know her would respond. My "Maybe it's just more important to me..." was in reference to Dani's story...not the whole situation.

 

[cantdog]

Sorry for my lack of information here, but who is *Dani*? I reread this whole thread and can't figure out whether Dani is a user of the board or a personal friend of Teachski. Thanks.

 

[teachski]

Personal friend, but I thought since I had a letter from a survivor of the hurricane I would share it.

P.S. I don't mind the other side of that coin.

What happened to the grunge look?

I still love my "ski bag" Jeans that look like they got vetilated buy a box cutter...man those Jeans are old....but the let me thermal layer breath so nicely.

Hey Teach...I understand your frustration I have 3 teenagers and have learned to "go with the flow" .

I am sure this is a problem for teachers nation-wide or for that matter world-wide. What are the others saying about this? I know teachers get to go to alot of workshops...hasn't this been brought up?

Personally I see nothing good coming out of this for the future of our culture. Hope I am wrong.

 

[Marc]

As long as I can understand what they're saying, I don't really care. I'm not a teacher though.

I am one of the few people I know who uses correct punctuation, spelling and capitalization on message boards and IM converstations (most of the time).

May have something to do with being the son of an Englsih teacher...



One thing that used to drive me absolutely nuts (though you don't hear it too much anymore) is when you heard people saying "so don't I" instead of "so do I." I never understood it, it made no sense and bugged the hell out of me.

Edit: spelling error in a post about correct English... I'm a genius.

 

[skijay]

My peeve:

"Alot of people"

"Alot" is two words "a lot".

My PP is over the use of affect vs. effect.


Don't ask.
