Oh, they fail FAST.
If I travel somewhere that people talking funny.... down south, in west virginia, canada, etc ... for an extended period, I pick up their verbal habits in like 3 days.
I start talking with an accent, or saying "eh" after every sentance.
It's sad. People pick up communication habbits QUICKLY. Luckily I still do a LOT of business writing and e-mail writing to professionals, so I keep my skills pretty up to date.
plus, still being in grad school doesn't hurt. We write a lot of case studies.
*cough* :roll:
While the attempt at comedy is noted, typos and minor misspellings is not the same as refusing to correct ones grammar and punctuation.
I spell a lot of shit wrong and I make a lot of typos. But I make FAR fewer than 90% of the people on this MB.
BTW, the irony of the person who is trying to troll me here is absolutely savory.
Edit (edited again to remove blatant ad hominem): Holy fucking shit.
Did you even FOLLOW the discussion? Apparently not. Because if you DID, you would realize how what you are saying is COMPLETELY TOTALLY AND UTTERLY IRRELEVANT.
I am not NOW, nor would I EVER, jump someones shit for a TYPO or minor spelling mistake. EVERYONE MAKES THEM.
THIS IN NO WAY INVALIDATES MY POINT.
Now, please leave this thread and let your betters continue this discussion.
kthxbye.
