I know the above was directed at SCS, but I mentioned the same only because, at least imho, grammar smack is only appropriate where the post in question had so many whopping grammatical errors that its meaning is entirely unintelligible. Using the word "academics" in the singular, rather than the plural, while technically inaccurate (albeit hardly unprecedented), does not rise to that level.Dinsdale wrote:And wow, I didn't realize posting less than a dozen words in regards to grammar could still inspire a full-on meltdown. Jeebus, get over it. If you don't like it, than feel free to not be an illiterate fuckwit, especially not one with a reference to an institute of higher learning in your nic...seriously, it makes you look like a tard -- bragging about being a college grad,and writing at an elementary school level. I barely made it through high school, much less a major university, yet by showing up to K-6 grades, I manage to write in proper English more often than not, so why is it so fucking tough for an alleged graduate of an allged institute of higher learning? Seriously, it makes both you and any professor who gave you a passing grade look like complete retards...seriously.
Oh, I saw that part all right. Just didn't think it required any further comment from me, 's'all. :wink:I was just poking you with a stick, Terry. Didn't realize you'd look straight past the obvious SEC smack (using the Bowl checks to build more RV parking at the stadiums again this year, SEC?), and get all defensive.
Does your team's loss justify disappointment? Sure. A meltdown? Hell no, at least not if you have a little perspective. And I'm not talking about the Hurricane Katrina/Asian tsunami/millions of people either don't have enough to eat or are dying of horrible diseases type of perspective. I'm talking about the "I root for fuggin' Oregon and usually my team doesn't have a very good season, but this year they did" type of perspective. Dude, historically speaking, 10-win seasons at your school are about as common as 70-degree days in South Bend during the month of January. Yet, you managed one this season, and it was your second one in the last five seasons. My team still needs a win tomorrow if I'm to be able to make the same claim about my team (i.e., two 10-win seasons in five years). Yet, from an historical standpoint, there's absolutely no comparison between my team's level of success and your team's level of success.Holy smokes you freaking tards, it was MY TEAM that got whooped last night...I should be the one melting here...but pointing out your lack of attendence of English class in grade school, and you clowns steal all the heat and end up in a puddle on the floor, making it impossible for me to have a decent meltdown.
Again, not directed at me, but one thing I do manage to do well most of the time is spell. And spellcheck wouldn't have picked up the error you pointed out in my post. On those rare occasions when I don't know how to spell a word, as a courtesy I include (sp?) at the end of said word. Otherwise, assume any misspelling (sp?) on my part is a typo.Seriously, get over it, tards. And if you're SO proud of your college, then at least give them enough respect to mix in a spellcheck, or something.
