Got TechSpot?

[kitty500cat]

Easy guys, remember the moderators check this thread.

Cfitzarl is saying that the language is native to us in that we speak it from birth, not in that it has originally come from our land.

 

[beef_jerky4104]

Uh oh... I see a flame war coming...

Hehe. Yeah lets try and keep this thread clam and clean guys.

 

[LinkedKube]

Ok no flame war please, you have the tellie, we have the TV. You Have petro, we have gas. Life goes on......

And dont you love when a thread gets totally taken out from under you supersmashbrada ?

Where do I submit this hijack log because someone stole my thread and made it into an English variant issue.

<taunt> You can't delete that, because I am replying to a specific section, and quoting only that section, which makes it all so sweet </taunt>

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Yup, that`d be right hehe.

Cfitzarls for entertainment

Thanks ! I try to keep things interesting (to the best of my ability ). I would have to say that I like reading everyone's posts and threads here just because that everyone here has a different perspective and ideology of thinking than anyone else .

Please refrain from circumventing the minimum post length.

 

[beef_jerky4104]

I don't like when people use words in a completely wrong form....or conjugation. For instance, it angers me when people say, "I is goin'" or "I says". Yes, we all make mistakes in grammar, but this is our native language (for those who make mistakes who are a native-English speaker ).

I agree it is very annoying. Or even those who don't Capitalize or go ALL CAPS LIKE THIS.

 

[CMH]

ALL caps is good to emphasize a point. BUT IF THE WHOLE SENTENCE IS CAPS, it gets irritating really fast.

Unless the whole sentence is being emphasized, such as warnings....


Haven't seen too many posts posted in all caps yet.

 

[kitty500cat]

Actually, shouting (like THIS or this!!!!!!!) is against the forum guidelines.

 

[tifc8lraz]

Sorry Mict for not posting the correct length . But yes, I think that we should be stricter with people who write like that (unless they have a legitimate reason why they speak like that).

 

[SNGX1275]

It is less of a problem now than it was a few months ago. No doubt it still happens and will continue, but I become very displeased with the person I see writing like that. General discouragement from all members is the best way to prevent the problem from becoming more widespread.

Self policing in moderation is better than having a handful of mods trying to fix every problem.

 

[beef_jerky4104]

I agree SNGX.

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Self policing in moderation is better than having a handful of mods trying to fix every problem.

Absolutely spot on there mate.

Regards Howard

 

[kitty500cat]

Yeah, I agree.

 

[tifc8lraz]

I know that there was a member who was banned for purposely disobeying TechSpot Rules....one of them being from his use of grammar and speaking. I won't say his name, but let him serve as an example to all of the members here that this can happen to you. Also, that darn FireFox Spellchecker is amazing :unch: !

 

[beef_jerky4104]

One thing that that ticks me off is when people mis spell things like evga or nvidia, even Geforce (Corret way is GeForce). Another thing that disturbes me are undetailed specs.

There are several ways to spell "evga". eVGA and EVGA, they have two logos. "nvidia" can also be spelled like nVidia, nVIDIA (As there logo), NVIDIA is the corporate way and NVDA is the stock way.

If I could control it everybody would be as specific as I am:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane 1.9GHz
Biostar TForce 550 SE Motherboard
Corsair Value Select 1GB (512MB x2) DDR2-667 RAM
Maxtor Diamond Max 200GB PATA-133 HDD
eVGA e-GeForce 7900 GS KO 256MB...

Yeah you get the picture many people are more like (Which bugs me):

AMD Athlon
Gigabyte 939 Motheboard
1GB DDR
Maxtor HDD
geforce 7600gt

 

[LinkedKube]

wow, you're a little insane, or close to it. People mispelling evga, or nvidia, Those are quite minor.

 

[Grafficks]

Honestly, if they don't have detail in their listing of specs, I think they just simply do not know -- and that's okay!

For example, if someone puts "1GB DDR" in their specs, without the brand/speed/bandwidth/latency, then I'd just assume that they don't know that there are so many aspects to specify a RAM module, and leave it at that.
People are here to learn, so give them a chance. When they know more and find out what their exact specs are, then I'm sure that they'll list it.

However, I don't think many people know the codename of their CPU core , so I think that part would be unnecessary.

A very had part of being a computer genius is being patient to those who are not as computer-savvy as yourself. Have you seen this?:

and this is just another version, (essentially the same)

It's a comedic way of expressing how patience is an asset for computer specialists.
