YES, IT IS NOT SO UNCOMMON FOR ME TO HAVE SPELLING ERRORS. THEY HAPPEN USUALLY IN THOSE WORDS WHICH HAVE DOUBLE LETTERS, SINCE I AM OFTEN NOT SURE WHETHER IT IS DOUBLE LETTER OR SINGLE LETTER OR SOME OTHER LETTER. JUST LIKE IN SEAM. I AM OFTEN NOT SURE WHETHER IT IS SEEM OR SEM OR SEAM. BUT I TRY TO CHECK UP ALL OF MY COMMENTS AFTER WRITING TO REMOVE ALL SPELLING ERRORS. I USUALLY IN THE COMMENT OF SIZE LIKE THIS ONE HAVE 5-25 SPELLING OR GENERAL GRAMMAR ERRORS, BUT, AFTER CHECKUP I REMOVE ALMOST ALL OF THEM. BUT FROM TIME TO TIME I CAN MISS SOME INCORRECTLY SPELLED WORD. OR, I CAN NOT WRITE SOME WORD (MOSTLY WORDS A, AN OR THE [ALTHOUGH I NEVER USE "AN"]) AT ALL SOMETIMES. I ALSO HAVE SOME COMMON WORDS WHICH I MISTAKE FOR OTHER WORDS, BY ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH I MEANT TO WRITE ONE WORD, MY FINGERS TYPE ANOTHER ONE. FOR EXAMPLE, I SO OFTEN WRITE DICK INSTEAD OF DISK. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I TRY TO SAY "MY HARD DISK..." I OFTEN WRITE "MY HARD DICK...", WHAT CAN BE EMBARRASSING. IT IS BECAUSE BOTH HARD DISKS AND HARD DICKS ARE SOMETHING WHAT I LIKE VERY MUCH, AND USE BOTH OF THOSE WORDS EVERY DAY. THAT IS ONE FUNNY MISTAKE WHICH I OFTEN DO, BUT, ON HDDGURU, I PAY MUCH ATTENTION WHILE READING MY COMMENTS AND SEARCHING FOR ERRORS TO THE WORD DISK, SPECIALLY, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT THE OTHER WORD, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TOO WEIRD. AND ALSO, VERY COMMON MISTAKE OF MINE IS NOT USING THAT ' SIGN, OR APOSTROPHE, AT PROPER PLACES. SO YEA, I AM NOT PERFECT IN WRITING, BUT I AM WORKING TO PERFECT MY SPELLING, GRAMMAR AND ENGLISH IN GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
YES, I HAVE NOTICED THAT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE MANY ERRORS IN THEIR POSTS. SOME EVEN HAVE ERRORS IN EACH SENTENCE. AND YET, ALMOST NOONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THOSE ERRORS. AND IN THE SAME TIME, SO MANY PEOPLE CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT ME NOT FOLLOWING ONE AND ONLY ONE RULE OF ENGLISH: EACH SENTENCE SHOULD START WITH CAPITAL LETTER AND ALL REMAINING LETTERS SHOULD BE NON CAPITAL ONES, EXCEPT IN CASE OF SPECIAL WORDS, WHICH ARE DEFINED IN OTHER CAPITALIZATION RULES. SO THIS IS JUST ONE RULE I CHOSE TO IGNORE, AND YET SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FORCE ME TO OBEY THAT RULE. AND WHEN SOMEONE, LIKE YOU, WRITES SENTENCE "like this" WITHOUT USING CAPITAL LETTER AS A FIRST LETTER, OR, DOES NOT PUT THE DOT AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE, IN MOST CASES, NOBODY CARES. SO ONE CAN BE WRITING EACH SENTENCE IN EVERY POST WITHOUT USING CAPITAL LETTER AT THE START OF THE SENTENCE, AND IN MOST CASES NOBODY WOULD CARE, AND YET, WHEN I WROTE JUST SINGLE POST WITHOUT USING NON CAPITAL LETTERS THOSE "GRAMMAR ENTHUSIASTS", LIKE YOU, POPED UP AND STARTED TEACHING ME GRAMMAR... TALKING ABOUT DOUBLE STANDARDS HERE.
PERSONALLY, I DO NOT HATE PEOPLE WHO EITHER DO NOT KNOW GRAMMAR OR DO NOT IMPLEMENT ALL OF ITS RULES BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO LAZY OR BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BREAK THEM OR BECAUSE OF SOME OTHER REASON, NOR I CORRECT THEM FOR ALL MEESAGES AND POSTS THAT DO MAKE SENSE. IF SOMEONES SENTENCE IS SO MUCH BROKEN WITH SO MANY MISTAKES THAT I CAN NOT EVEN UNDERSTANT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, IN THAT CASE I HAVE TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION, IF I WANT TO REPLY TO THEM. ESPECIALLY OFTEN I FIND SERIOUSLY BROKEN SENTENCES ON THE WEB PAGE CALLED
http://WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM, WHERE I OFTEN FIND TEEN USERS WHO ARE WRITING IN ENGLISH WHICH IS SO WRONG AND SO BROKEN THAT ALMOST EVERY WORD IS A MISTAKE, IT EITHER DOES NOT EXIST IN DICTIONARY AT ALL, IS MISSING SOME LETTERS, IS NOT CAPITALIZED PROPERLY, IS NOT PUNCTUATED PROPERLY, IS IN WRONG TENSE OR HAS SOME OTHER KIND OF ERROR. SOME PEOPLE THERE WRITE ABOUT 80% OF THE WORDS INCORRECTLY, ESPECIALLY IF THEIR SCIN COLOR IS BLACK OR IF THEIR AGE IS IN THE TEEN RANGE. SO, BASICALLY, WHEN I GO THERE, AND LOOK AT THE POSTS OF SOME USERS, I JUST HAVE TO ASK THEM ABOUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, DO THEN EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH OR DO THEY KNOW ANY GRAMMAR AT ALL, ON, MORE OR LESS, EVERY POST THAT THEY EVER MAKE. SO, THERE ARE SOME AWFUL PLACES ON INTERNET. COMPARED TO SUCH PLACES, HDDGURU.COM IS A VERY GOOD SITE, ALTHOUGH PEOPLE HERE ALSO TEND TO MAKE MISTAKES, BUT, USUALLY IN JUST ABOUT LESS THAN 10% OF THE WORDS. I ALSO DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW GRAMMER AS LONG AS I CAN UNDERSTAND THEM. I DO NOT REALLY CARE IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING ALL RULES OR NOT. SO, YES, I KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT GRAMMER, AND YET, WHAT PUZZLES ME THE MOST, IS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR RULE ABOUT CAPITALIZATION OF LETTERS, BUT ONLY IF OTHER THAN FIRST LETTERS ARE BEEING CAPITALIZED. NOT IF FIRST LETTER IS NOT CAPITALIZED. THAT IS SO PUZZLING. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND PEOPLE, AND THOSE DOUBLE CRITERIA. THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE IF EITHER EVERYONE IS FORCED TO FOLLOW EVERY GRAMMAR RULE OR IF NOBODY IS FORCED TO FOLLOW AND RULE AT ALL. WHAT ALSO PUZZLES ME IS THAT I, AS NON NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER, AM SO MUCH BETTER IN ENGLISH THAN SOME NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS. I NEVER THOUGH THAT THIS COULD BE TRUE, BUT IT IS, ALTHOUGH I AM FAR FROM PERFECT, BECAUSE I DO MAKE GRAMMAR MISTAKES (OTHER ONES BESIDE THIS PARTICULAR RULE ABOUT WHICH YOU ARE TALKING).
YES, NOT JUST QUITE A FEW, BUT QUITE A LOT. I THINK THAT I HAVE PASSED THE 300 MARK IN THE COUNT OF PEOPLE WHO MENTIONED ME OR TRIED TO FORCE ME TO FOLLOW THIS CAPITALIZATION RULE. SO, MORE THAN 300 PEOPLE IN MY LIFE HAVE TOLD ME THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IF I EVER CARED ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES OPPINIONS I WOULD NOT BE AS HAPPY PERSON AS I AM NOW. PERSON AS PLEASED WITH ITS PERSONALITY AS I AM NOW. I WOULD KILL MYSELF A LONG TIME AGO. BUT I COULD NOT CARE LESS FOR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ME. UNLESS, OF COURSE, THAT PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE OPPINION I MUST CARE ABOUT, SUCH AS TEACHERS IN SCHOOL OR BOSSES IN JOB, OR POLICE. BUT FOR OPPINIONS OF PEOPLE OF WHO I DO NOT HAVE TO CARE ABOUT, I DO NOT.
YES, I DO KNOW ABOUT THIS RULE AND THAT I AM DELIBERATELY MAKING ONE GRAMMAR MISTAKE FOR EACH SENTENCE WHICH I WRITE.
SO, NO, I AM NOT TRYING TO JUSTIFY THAT, I KNEW THAT I WAS MAKING THE MISTAKE WHEN I WROTE IT, AND I ADMIT THAT I MADE THE MISTAKE. SO, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I ADMIT EVERYTHING.
BUT UNLIKE THOSE PEOPLE WHO MAKE MISTAKES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW GRAMMER OR BECAUSE THEY ARE TO LAZY TO IMPLEMENT ITS RULES, I AM MAKING MISTAKES BECAUSE OF OTHER REASONS. I KNOW EXACTLY WHY I AM DOING THIS. I HAVE A LIST OF 7 REASONS NOT TO FOLLOW THAT STUPID CAPITALIZATION RULE. I HAVE MY OPPINION ABOUT THAT RULE AND I DO NOT LIKE THAT RULE TOO MUCH, TO BE HONEST.
AND REGARDING MY ATTITUDE... WELL, I DO NOT REALLY THINK THAT MY ATTITUDE IS BAD. PERHAPS IT MAY SEEM THAT TO YOU.
BUT, HOW I SEE SITUATION IS AS FOLLOWS: I CAME HERE, ON HARD DISK DRIVE FORUMS, AND ASKED FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GIVE ME SOME HELP ABOUT MY HARD DISK, IF THEY WANT TO, AND WHAT I GOT WAS THAT YOU ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER USERS HERE ALL PACKED TOGETHER TO LECTURE ME ABOUT ENGLISH GRAMMER INSTEAD OF EITHER FOCUSING ON MY QUESTION OR SKIPPING MY QUESTION. SO, THAT IS HOW I SEE THINGS HERE. THAT IS WHY MY ATTITUDE TOWARD YOU MAY SEEM BAD. THAT IS JUST THE RESULT OF YOUR BEHAVIOUR TOWARD ME. BECAUSE, I CAN BE LOVELY, FUNNY AND WARM PERSON TO PEOPLE WHO DESERVE IT, THAT IS, TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO FUNNY, WARM AND LOVELY PERSONS TO ME. SO, YES, IF SOMEONE WHO MEETS ME STARTS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHAT THAT PERSON SEES AS BAD THINGS ABOUT ME, OR WITH REQUESTS OF HOW TO CHANGE ME, OR WITH INSULTS OR THREATS, THEN I HAVE NO REASON TO BE POLITE AND LOVELY TO THAT PERSON, SINCE IT DID NOT DESERVE ME TO BE LIKE THAT TOWARD THAT PERSON. SO, I CAN BE COLD AND STUBBORN AND UNPLEASENT IF I THINK THAT THAT ATTITUDE IS WHAT THAT PERSON DESERVES.
SO, TO CONCLUDE, I KNOW THAT I DO NOT PAY YOU PEOPLE HERE TO ANSWER ON MY QUESTIONS, AND THAT MOST LIKELY NOBODY PAYS YOU TO DO THAT AND THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR FREE TIME TO BE HERE AND ANSWER ON PEOPLES QUESTIONS, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER ON MY QUESTION IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO, FOR ANY REASON, ANY REASON AT ALL, WHICHEVER YOU FIND NOT TO ANSWER ON MY QUESTION, BUT DESPITE THAT, THIS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT I HAVE TO BE THE WAY YOU PEOPLE WANT ME TO BE. THERE ARE SEVERAL NEW QUESTIONS ASKED ON HDDGURU EACH DAY. SO YOU CAN CHOOSE TO ANSWER ON ANY ONE OF THEM, IF YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. SO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EVEN OPEN MY QUESTIONS. YOU CAN SKIP ANY OF THEM. I DO NOT SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE SKIPPING MY QUESTION. SO, IF MY PERSONALITY, IF MY ATTITUDE OFFENDS YOU, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OPEN MY QUESTIONS. THAT SEAMS REASONABLE TO ME. BUT IF YOU COME HERE AND COMMENT, THEN I DO NOT SEE WHY WOULD I HAVE TO CHANGE FOR YOU, JUST BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO COMMENT. IT WAS YOUR CHOICE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING IMPORTANT, BUT INSTEAD JUST WRITE COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC COMMENTS. YOU ARE ALSO USING MY TIME TO READ YOUR OFF TOPIC COMMENTS WHICH RESULT IF ME HAVING LESS TIME AND STILL HAVING THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT MY DISK WHICH I HAD WHEN I CAME HERE. SO, NO HELP, JUST COMPLAINTS. THAT IS HOW SOME PEOPLE OPERATED ON MY QUESTIONS. BUT THAT WAS YOUR CHOICE. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO RESPOND TO MY QUESTION. SO, ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN RETURN FOR HELPING ME, I STILL DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD ADAPT TO YOUR LIKINGS, NOR I THINK THAT I AM REQUIRED TO BE POLITE AND LOVELY TO YOU. MY ATTITUDE CAN BE BAD TOWARD SOMEONE, IF I WANT IT TO BE LIKE THAT. BUT, TRUST ME, PEOPLE WHO COME HERE TO HELP WILL GET MUCH BETTER ATTITUDE THEN PEOPLE WHO COME HERE TO COMPLAIN. IF I ASKED SOMEONE, BY NAME, TO HELP ME, IN THAT CASE I AGREE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DO MY BEST TO MAKE THAT PERSON AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO HELP ME, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CHANGING MA BEHAVIOUR OR GIVING SOME MONEY. BUT, WHEN I DO NOT ASK ANYONE, BY NAME, TO HELP ME, THEN, THIS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED. OF COURSE, I CAN STILL DO IT, IF I WANT TO INCREASE MY CHANCES OF GETTING HELP, BUT I AM NOT REQUIRED TO, AND BY NOT DOING SO I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM DECREASING THOSE CHANCES.
YOU, HAQUE, DID WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT MY QUESTION WHEN YOU FIRST CAME HERE, WHAT WAS VERY GOOD OF YOU, BUT THEN YOU SWITCHED TO WRITING COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC STUFF, SO, IF YOU NOTICED THAT MY ATTITUDE TOWARD YOU IS NOT GOOD, WELL, THAT IS BECAUSE YOUR COMMENTS ARE NOT GOOD FOR MY HARD DRIVE EITHER, SO, I HAVE NO REASON TO BE GOOD TOWARD YOU.
AND YES, I HAVE TO COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR LAST COMMENT, HAQUE. I SEE THAT YOU TRIED TO MAKE IT MORE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT THEN YOUR SECOND LAST COMMENT. AND GREATER PERCENTAGE OF YOUR SENTENCES IS CORRECT IN YOUR LAST COMMENT. EXCEPT THAT YOU WROTE "you" INSTEAD OF "You". BUT, I CAN SEE PROGRESS! WELL DONE. JUST A LITTLE MORE AND YOU WOULD MIGHT HAVE GOOD GRADES FROM ENGLISH IF YOU WERE TO GO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL IN AUSTRALIA. JUST ONE OUT OF SIX SENTENCES INCORRECTLY CAPITALIZED, AND JUST ONE SENTENCE MISSING ITS PUNCTUATION MARK. THAT SHOULD BE AT LEAST GRADE 3/5, OR, IF YOU GUYS USE LETTERS OUT THERE, LIKE IN AMERICA, LETTER C.
