[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]It never ceases to amaze me at the sheer stupidity and ignorance and lack of common sense politeness displayed by some people on this INTERNATIONAL site!? WAKE UP YOU GUYS! THIS ISN?T AN ALL AMERICAN SHOW WHERE YOUR ENGLISH IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT???? Now there?s an oxymoron! The International members may make use of the wrong word, may spell what is a common word to us of English speaking tongue, learned through birth and education. But that does not give you the right to make fun of, nor make some absolutely stupid inane comment, or question the use of a word when ?your so called education? should tell you. The writer is of another Nationality, isn?t of perfect English and unfortunately made a word choice in error! Get over it. Don?t make fun of the person! If you were truly respectful of others you might consider a positive private e-mail to the user about the wrong word or spelling privately. Do that as a helpful person. This again is done with class and not written in a put down fashion! My bitch for New Year?s Day! Ted (no it isn?t a hang over of the grinch, its all about being polite and understanding of others!!! ) !? -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Geoff Hopkinson Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 1:43 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] Happy New Year from Denmark--WHAAAAT? Not very politely put, Bob. How much Danish do you speak? J?rn's meaning was perfectly clear. We all allow for spelling errors here, that's a fact of life for email anyway. We are lucky to have such a diverse group of nationalities contributing.
