Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Skivee Date: 14 Jan 08 - 07:15 PM I think I saw that matchbook cover ad. It went something like this,"IF U CN RD THS U CN GT A GD JB S A CRT STNOGRFR", right? I think we could make school about 3 years shorter if we learned to write this way. IF U MK THS PRT F YR PLTFRM, MBE I CD B TH EDUCSN ZAR? |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 14 Jan 08 - 07:24 PM Easy enough to read, but a lot slower, because you have to spell it out rather than take it in at a glance. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Bobert Date: 14 Jan 08 - 07:45 PM You could use a little work, too, Capt'n... Maybe I send you the matchbook cover... But nevermind that... This ain't 'bout me being learnht up and other not... It's about thread titles gettin' messed with... Next thing ya' know all of us will be replaced with monkeys... and then they'll figurate a way to keep us from postin' but we'll open up a thread where we supposedly posted 'casue there is our name right there but we ain't got no recollection of havion' posted that... You all wanta know why??? Well, of course you don't and I wouldn't either if I knew that was about to be replaced with a monkey... And then one day we'll all be sittin' 'round some dingy bar drenking GeritoBeer and rememberin' the good ol' days before Joe turned the joint over to the monkeys... No, not chimps, LH... That would prolly be an improvement... But monkeys??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: katlaughing Date: 14 Jan 08 - 07:49 PM I don't care about your spelling or grammar, but I sure don't like seeing "Nazi" in the title. That's a very strong word, esp. for those of us who may make part of our living through reading manuscripts for spelling and grammar errors. For the record, IF I have changed or added to any thread title it is expressly for the purpose of making it easier for the Search function to find it in the future. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Bill D Date: 14 Jan 08 - 07:52 PM It oughta be obvious...usually...when spelling or grammar is on purpose or for ummmm...'effect', and when it is just dumb or careless. Even then, correcting a post oughta be done with care. Now, thread titles NEED to be kept as clear as possible, or we'd never be able to find anything. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 14 Jan 08 - 08:18 PM The "search" function has enough pitfalls without illiterate or supposedy humorous spelling. Mudcat is supposed to function as an information repository as well as a playground. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 14 Jan 08 - 08:29 PM You know, in the overall scheme of things, it's of about the same consequence as a few flecks of fly shit in a mountain of pepper. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Bill D Date: 14 Jan 08 - 08:30 PM Indeed, Q! If one is gonna spell badly, it helps to at least do it in a consistent pattern. (why, I can get a LOT of hits looking for 'womenz')☺ |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Amos Date: 14 Jan 08 - 08:31 PM The Wall Street Journal, no less, had a big article upbraiding two of th candidates for misconstructing sentences using "myself" as a substitute for "me" or "I". I would have thought with the exonomy on the way to the shredder the WSJ mighthave more important editorial input to provide, but nooooo..... It was like so totally disproportionate, like, I was like, "Huh?". Which, for a person like myself, is really saying, you know, something. Or whatever. A |

Used to be that fly shit was cheap as dirt before the Food Channels... Now, ya' gotta be Donald Trump to get that stuff... Grrrrrrrrr.... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: katlaughing Date: 14 Jan 08 - 10:50 PM You'd think the WSJ would have given up critiquing politicians after the moronic utterances of the past eight years in the White House. Or, perhaps they are being pre-emptive in the hopes we will all give a damn about literacy in the candidates and vote accordingly? |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 14 Jan 08 - 11:05 PM Our economy now is exonomy. I'll buy that. Amos, you have coined a second meaning for the term (I think). -------------------------------------------- Exonomy, primary meaning for those who really want to know, is use of an ab initio gene predictor in eukaryotes, specifically a 23-state Generalized Hidden Markov model (GHMM). Best used in combination with Unveil, a 283-state standard Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and GlimmerM, a genefinder which uses decision trees and Interpolated Markov Models (IMMs). These programs are available through webservers at http://www.tigr.org/software. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: John MacKenzie Date: 15 Jan 08 - 05:20 AM Then there are those for whom dyslexia is a problem, so some of the posts in this thread may be 'au naturelle' So before you get on your high horse, remember this condition. We don't mock dyslexics here on Mudcat; it's not smart, and it's not furry. G. I will be under the table hiding for a bit. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: TheSnail Date: 15 Jan 08 - 05:50 AM Q Hidden Markov Model Wow Q, that's fascinating. It's just what I've been looking for. See for instance - http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~chaiwei/papers/chai_ICAI183.pdf |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Jan 08 - 10:59 AM It's more work to do Bobert's speech affectations than it is to spell words out straight. I give points for the effort. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: kendall Date: 15 Jan 08 - 12:59 PM Bobert ol' buddy, I appreciate being informed if I spell something wrong or my grammar is faulty. This reminds me of a John Wayne movie, I think it was Hondo, or was it Hombre?. He said to a young man, "Never apologize, it's a sign of weakness." In my opinion it's a sign of weakness to NOT apologize. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 15 Jan 08 - 02:48 PM To the Snail- do you think we should have a full-fledged discussion of Markov models and folk music at Mudcat? Will we at last agree on a definition of Folk? I'm afraid that article boggled my mind. Coherent thought no longer possible. |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Amos Date: 15 Jan 08 - 02:58 PM Spellling tells the reader whether or not you give a damn about hi, which is one reason its important, totally aside from the confusions mis-spellings can generate. The same holds true for correct grammar for the context. Bobert's vernacular grammer is impeccable for the kind of vernacular he is representing. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Bobert Date: 15 Jan 08 - 03:23 PM See there??? Mah man Amos says it's impeccable which of course means that ya' all shouldn't be peccin' on it... Na-na-na-na-na-nah... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Newport Boy Date: 15 Jan 08 - 03:51 PM I presume, Amos, that 'hi' is gender-neutral, representing 'him' or 'her'? Phil |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Amos Date: 15 Jan 08 - 04:00 PM Either that, or it represents a whole 'nother class of problems known as fat-thumbing. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: Bobert Date: 15 Jan 08 - 04:20 PM Ya' mean like "that dog won't hunt", LH??? There, you made me say it... Speakin' of pitchers thou, we got more than our share of pour 'uns playin' fir the Washington Nationals... Can't hit the broadside of a proverbial barn... And gettin' paid millions??? I was jus' thinkin' 'bout offerin' my services to the Nats at half a million bucks a year... I can surely loose as many games in a season as these guys and I'm cheap at a half a mil... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Grammer/Spellin' Nazis at Work... From: John MacKenzie Date: 15 Jan 08 - 04:29 PM Best thing to do with pitchers like that, is hang them. G |
