whats the point of spending more time on unnecessary punctuation when you can easily understand what im saying with out it
What's the point of spending more time on unnecessary punctuation when you can easily understand what I'm saying with out it.
are you so retarded you cant read the first sentence or do you have some kind of wasting other peoples time fetish? really though, you are being a grammar nazi and this type of shit is why you have no friends
Precise use of language matters, slacking in this area brings on the decay of language and culture. Meaning is important but also being able to respect the intelligence of your conversation partner is a vital motivator in the exchange, or support of ideas.
In essence: don't be a nigger.
language evolves over time, meaning is not lost when you remove the unneeded aspects of the language, i am respecting your intelligence but you are not acting in good faith, it sure seems like you are not respecting my intelligence, you are the one dismissing the idea off hand with out thinking about it, you are the one who is unopen to new ideas, im quite happy to debate the evolution of language but your argument does not hold any water
for starters the English language has been bastardized over the centauries so much that most people cant even understand some thing written just a few hundreds of years ago, if you want to argue that my short hand is eroding culture then you will have to admit that you are doing the same thing by writing in modern English
language evolves or write makes right if you prefer, if everyone started writing in old English or Ye Olde English (which is only early in the grand scheme of thing but oh well im making a point) then you can 'reverse the decay of language'
as for precision, your bra1n cun raed dis, it looks silly yes but we have just proved that precision is not needed to get an idea across, all that is needed is enough for your brain to do the heavy lifting for your eyes and fill in the gaps, your brain does not even read the full word most of the time, this is not new, this is basic shit really
so how does the precise use of language really matters, apart from cleaning up that the strippers, hitler, and stalin are separate people
in essence dont be a sheep, if your only argument is that someone else is wrong because of the way they are typing you are not only a complete idiot you may be missing out on a chance to improve your self by engaging with their ideas rather than shooting the idea down due to their spelling or grammar
if that approach did not work why not look at the surnames of people that support a standardized version of english, it seems that you have fallen for the jewish trap again, a single melting pot makes everything the same and loses the unique flavours that are regional dialects
If you're too lazy to write properly, you'll be untrustworthy to those that read you.
do you believe that writing well = trust worthy?
i find people trust what i say more when i type less formally, people are distrustful of intelligent people and making mistakes puts them at ease, i find that its only those who are very much bellow average that cling on to the stuff op pointed out, is primary school level shit, its not needed but some people will cling on to it because to them its an achievement where as iv learned the rule book, thought about the rules and then disregarded the unneeded rules
at the end of the day most of it is unneeded bullshit that now only exists so stupid can people feel smart when they notice someone not following the pointless rules that they hold in high regarded because that is their intellectual peak, just imagine a debate between a few great philosophers, do you think they are going to give a flying fuck about the punctuation used when trying to elucidate some abstract conceptualization relating to human nature, do you think they sat around the acropolis taking the piss out of the punctuation used? or do you think that they approached the issue like real philosophers and argue in good faith, having some intellectual honesty rather just looking for the easiest way to attack an argument
