the_van_can Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) We do, We were just brought up to use proper English.. now you are being pedantic, sorry I said anything Witzl - "Yuo NEEEEEED a thermostat." Edited May 20, 2009 by the_van_can Quote
the witzl Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 van can - its just a thing against SMS shorthand typing. There is no point to it really. As for the quote of mine, well thats just a combination of typing too fast (I'm above 40wpm touch typing) and trying to emphasise the point that a thermostat is somewhat seriously required. and yes, we are being pendantic.... but this is the internets, being pedantic is a good waste of time and stretch of the old grey matter. Blinded - the buddy christ has been with me on most forums since about 2003. He will never leave. Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) I gather you guys don't text message very often. When you send a text message, you have character limits and a small, user-unfriendly keypad Computers have this wonderful thing called a 104-key keyboard, and most forums don't have limits on how many characters you can use in a single post. Imagine you drive two cars - one 3-cylinder diesel econobox and a V8 sports car. Do you rev the V8 to only 3000rpm because that's all the diesel can do? Of course not, you use the V8 to it's full potential. In case that metaphor is too complicated for you, the mobile is the econobox, the PC the V8, and the English language is power. The power is there - use it. Edited May 21, 2009 by Hiro Protagonist Quote
