NO...

Critiquing his spelling was an attack for no reason.

I'm a nuclear engineer for the tva, not a welder. However, I was a welder - fabricator at my fathers company for many years before hand. And I do know how to read and write...quite well actually. I would be willing to bet that I have written more theses and dissertations than you ever have or will while I'm at it too.

I rest my case. :dunno:

I do have to ask, was your "theses" ever graded?

Do you have a dugrea?

(1)Thesis + (1)thesis = (2)theses.

"No degree, good anyway." Actually, I'm working on a few at the moment...

You just won't give up will you???

I guess it's time for a little schooling lesson. "Theses" is plural, meaning I have written more than one. Dumbass

While I'm at it...What the fuck is a dugrea??? If you meant degree, then yes I do. As a matter of fact I have more than one...

Yeah? But how do you pronounce "Nuk-Lear"?

Really? I don't have a dictionary handy here in my hotel room to refer to, so I admit my ignorance. Actually they probably don't even have one here in Rock Springs, WY. I already know they don't have any Dentist here. uke:

I graduated high school.

Only took me four years!

Was close though, if I"d been one grade lower for any of my classes I wouldn't have graduated.

I'm throw with this post.

My biggest problem, with this butchering of the English language, is the fact misspelled words are like speedbumps, to a fast reader.
I understand that many people aren't concerned with proper English, in all it's forms, but when the really simple things get overlooked, it drives me crazy.
For Webster's sake, people, my ten year old daughter started reading Harry Potter books when she was six and she now has the spelling and grammar of an English major.
All I ask for is a little more attention to detail, or perhaps a spell checker.

 

[5-90]

Webster's? Who the Hell knows who Webster is anymore (or Roget, or Bartlett, for that matter...)

I do need to get a new dictionary - but do you have any idea how difficult it is to find an OED in English, not American, over here?

Thank you!!!

When I read the original post that started all this, "throughing" threw (or is that through...?) me for a loop, and I had to read it a couple of time to figure out exactly the meaning.

P.S. Harry Potter rocks!

MS WORD
spell checker is my best friend!​

Roget

The inventor of the slide rule, or the creator of the thesaurus?
Just kidding, Jon.

And my point was this is a 4x4 forum...not an english forum. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which usage he meant when he was talking about people "throughing" rocks off of a cliff...

Fickst!

But, could he have meant the rock went through the soft top, or that someone threw a rock from above?
That's what some of us have to pause, to figure out.
For a speed reader, that's a potwhole.

 

[IXNAYXJ]

It doesn't take a rocket scientist...

...just a nuclear physicist, apparently.

You do realize this is all in good fun, right?
