erik Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 so as of late there has been quite a bit of people thinking they are getting one up on one another by making fun of thier spelling or grammer and especially in spray..... come on people spray has no grammatical or spelling rules....it is a free flowing bit of drivel...... i cant remember what else i was going to type though hopefully it will come back to me later....

erik Posted March 8, 2002 Author Posted March 8, 2002 max, if you only knoew half the stuff i dealt with at work you might start to understand that everything is pretty much diet....that goes on around here.... this is my work day escape you know.... Quote
AlpineK Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Spray=bullshit and bad spelling can be bullshit. Quote
ScottP Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 From my experience on rec.climbing and other newsgroups/bbs's, I have learned that it is considered bad form to belittle someones spelling over rational rebuttal of an arguement or opinion. That said, in my opinion, spelling and grammar are still important aspects of written communication in our society--just try getting a job using a resume that doesn't have either done well. It really doesn't take long to double check a post for typos, which seems to be a good part of the problem. Quote
allthumbs Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Who cares on these message boards? Not this pilgrim. In business, yes, get it right or don't expect me to read it. Quote
ScottP Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 There is a correlation between proper spelling/grammar and credibility in written communication. If credibility is a concern (as I am sure it is for some), such things should be considered. Quote
JRCO Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Erik, if all these people have on you is your spelling your in pretty good shape. I will still read your posts even if you can't spell because I can't spell either with out my spell check. Quote
erik Posted March 8, 2002 Author Posted March 8, 2002 oh i was just laying the foundation for future sprayers.....leave your manners at home....outside of death threats and physical violence everything else ie pretty much fair game.... Quote

If credibility is a concern (as I am sure it is for some), such things should be considered. Yes and no. When I went to college, I had no computer. Always the difference between A's and B's were the spelling mistakes in my papers. The profs liked my content, but discounted for mis-spelling. I always thought that was bullshit. I liked my physics teacher because he didn't care if we didn't get all the math right as long as we showed we understood the concept by coming up with the right formula or equation. It wasn't a fucking math class. Thank god for spell check. If they add that button here, then there will be no excuses....but until then, I'm with erik! Oh, and don't spell erik "eric"! He doesn't like it! Quote
CleeshterFeeshter Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Erik, I am so there re your position on the spelling issue. Fucking Uptightness will eventually choke this world to death. I do the cc.com to babble with other climb type personalities. If I wanted to ahve my spelling check by some uptight azzho, then I would check the www.ebonics.com translator site. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 And what usefull contributions have you made Sparky? Quote
allthumbs Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Sparky's got the gift. All hail !!! ziggy zoggy ziggy zoggy oi oi oi !!! Y'all take a deep whiff-o dis Quote
Figger_Eight Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 If enough monkeys were typing on a keyboard at the same time, eventually they would come up with a Shakespeare play. Is that how it goes? Anyways, I don't care how people spell...I spell AlpineK: P - U - S - S - Y Quote
Sparky Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 If my only contributions to this post are limited to making your neandrethal-like brow furrow in confusion while you attempt to spell words longer than "suck", then my work is rewarding. Of course, I could defecate, rub the product on a computer screen and see something more enlightening than your Down's Syndrome afflicted declarations of manliness that honestly only make you seem only more pathetic than you probably are. I said probably. Quote
allthumbs Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Who the hell are you addressing that to? Just everyone in general, or do you have a particular target in mind? hehehe Quote

I'm not sure what your real issue is, but I think a trip to the psychiatrist might help. Quote
Sparky Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 A trip to the psychiatrist indeed. As opposed to the endocrinologist that's failing to successfully treat your hypogonadism. Counseling might allow me to accept your overt failings, but no amount of injectable testosterone will make you a real man. Although, I have to admit, your breasts HAVE gotten smaller. Quote
Sparky Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 So now AlpineK is threatening to have me booted off of CC.Com. I personally feel that he started the shit between us, and having discovered that although he may climb better than I, he can't spray with the same alacrity; he now wants me to disappear. I thought that this area was all about talking shit, hence the title "spray". So know I guess I'll ease up. No more tears. Quote
