Does this school teach spelling and punctuation?

If my daughters wrote like that they would not be allowed in my Cooper ever again

Can't spell for toffee but savvy enough to turn off the reputation button.

Maybe you could try www.mini2.com han_

han_banana, I hope the NICE people on this forum gave you enough info to do well on the project. I would like to know how it turns out, maybe you could post and let us know. By the way I don't spell very well myself. Maybe that guy "ipartridge" can help me out.....is it p-o-m-p-o-s or p-o-m-p-o-u-s ?

It's not a lack of open mindedness it's that to some it appears a sign of ignorance.
So get off your high horse, calm your youthful indignity, and just accept that some don't like the way you write what you have to say.
Personally I don't care how you want to appear to others. That's a condition you'll have to live with not me.
I was one of those peace sign waving Hippies so I'm well aware of how being different can be perceived or misunderstood by others. "Down with the establishment" and all that.

The most important fact of all this banter is this:
If you can't accept another persons difference of opinion than how can they accept yours?
YOU are being far less open minded than I am. Like I said I have no issue with your choice of linguistic slang, most likely based on your desire to fit in to the culture you want to be part of. That's great and is a primal aspect of humanity.
Just remember that if you make yourself a target, expect to get shot at.
At least you won't get tear gassed and whacked with a night stick

<-- That would be humor. The intention of which is to let you know that I don't have any issues. I just don't want to be misinterpreted.

shiredweller · Sep 26th, 2003, 10:04 PM

"Down with the establishment"? I thought that Hippies were more into "Do you'r own thing". Which is what h_b seems to be doing. I would put a smiley face here but I don't know how, being new to this and all.

ipartridge · Sep 27th, 2003, 12:33 PM

Whoops, looks like I started WW3. It was supposed to be light hearted, me having two young daughters learning to read and write (what would they make of your post)

han_banana, I trust you got the info needed for your project, excellent choice of car btw

Good on you Han_B, no need to write in mobile phone text speak on the forums tho, plenty of room to write everything you need to, trouble is it confused some of the forum readers I think. If you have the info you need, then well done, if you want more, post another message here.
