Let's keep the mensa type questions off the forum.

While I appreciate the challenging questions even if I may or may not know the answers, I am over here laughing my butt off because one of the people in the thread SEEMED to have trouble keeping track of the right answer(s).

Then to watch half of the people answer the questions only to do so with misspelled words in their post.

I mean cmon people, let me help you Geniuses in training.
Learn the EASY stuff first then tackle the MENSA handbook later.

Most of you should stick to poker, after all Numbers & Letters in sentences seem to give most of you trouble. Put correctly spelled words on flash cards & hold them in your hand like in poker & maybe you'll feel better.

Yes I know,,,,some of you will say "Well the grammar police are out" among other things that allow you to pretend that being stupid is ok on the internet.

But when you bring intelligence related things here to the forum, get it right the first time, spell it REASONABLY well & you should be free of the grammar police.

It's a shame you caught that before I could quote you.

hmm,,,it is isnt it?

at least I DID catch it.

you sound like a doucheclown



eye weill spewell howeva eye want


it is gay to make a post about grammar and sh it like that




jesus is coming hide the bong up your as s :roll:

I would suggest that you master the language yourself before mocking how others use it. I can find at least five grammatical errors in your post (and that's only on my first read). If there's an easier way to look like an asshole on a forum, I don't know that I've seen it. Congratulations.

Yohurl,

Is this a mensa question? Can I have sex with your mouth?

There was a post by a school teacher who treid to defend the public school system after DN bashed it, and she made a couple of obvious grammar errors if I recall. This is basically the only type of post that needs good grammar though. Complaining about misspelling is absurd of course since typing skills is hardly a prerequisite for making a post in a fast moving forum or in live online discussion.

OP,

There is more to grammar than spelling, not that I am anywhere close to perfect gramatically myself either. Nevertheless, people who live in grass houses should not get stoned, or something like that.

*Then* is not a good way to start a sentence.

*cmon* is properly c'mon.

*&* rarely belongs in a sentence. Using numbers or symbols to replace words (e.g. *2* instead of two, *&* instead of and) is bad grammar.

*,,,,,* does not work either. One comma is sufficient for places you want a comma and adding more than one is, er, "ungrammatical", not to mention superfluous. Perhaps you meant *.....*instead? In that case the rule is to use three periods in the middle of a sentence and four periods to end a sentence, or is it paragraph....

*But* is not a good way to start a sentence either.

:oops:

What a clown YoHurl is.....everyone please flame

People who even correct spelling are jackwads...someone who starts a thread on it :roll:

Get a life.

here's what he meant

thats some funny shit

thanks vayne i couldnt figure it out

I think you mean the spelling police. If the grammar police actually existed, they would've kicked in your front door and hauled you away for the above post.

You are lucky there are no laws prohibiting incorrect capitlization, incorrect punctuation, run-on sentences, and dangling modifiers. If there were, you'd be locked away for years with cellmates who would very much enjoy splitting your infinitives.

Half the fun is watching you fools get riled about my thread.

Thank you.

I am not requesting you all to be perfect at anything.

However, I'm not on poker forum offering up questions and/or puzzles meant for people of above average intelligence, then getting confused about the right answer & using words in my threads that flat out do not make sense.

I could spend time pointing out people & their mistakes one at a time & be as lame as those of you that spent this much time picking my thread apart assuming I was expecting or proclaiming perfection.

Thank you all for making this well worth my effort!

"Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger." -Theodore Roosevelt

I would consider myself as one of the world’s worst spellers!!!! Not necessarily strong in grammar!!!

But by far not stupped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you SO lame yourself that you have to ask others to flame people?
Boy are you a force to be reckoned with!

Actually Hurl is cool. We aren't all right all the time and ppl have a right to express their thoughts.

fwiw

Appreciated.

Actually Mr. Wizard, I could flame you all day and everyday if I so chose, however, your genius post is in itself a flame of your intellect. If you want a battle, then start it up son and I'll finish it.

Do you by chance remember where/when this was? I tried searching for it, unsuccessfully. I'm curious, as a public school teacher, to see what DN says the flaws are (and whether he's hit on the ones that I see).

forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't this a poker forum? Why do I feel like I'm sitting through my old english class? This is by far the biggest waste of space and time I've seen in quite awhile. Why don't you go proof read the newspaper if you're that bored and lonely.

Ya know, most of us were raised in the era of spell checks, meaning that needing to know precise spelling was a thing of the past. I find that the goal of language is to communicate ideas. If you can understand what I am saying, what my meaning is, what difference does it make how I spell something, and what grammer I use, other than your arbitrary sense of aesthetic.


That being said, I am loathe to admit I agree with Iowa's Finest. I Dub thee, douche clown.

You should really work on your stuff first. Mr Wizard????

I mean get real grandpa, if that's you in your avatar you may wanna check your depends & make sure some of this crappy reply didn't end up in there.

Further proving your intelligence (in this case your poker intelligence),
my avatar is that of Chau Giang. Any person with substantial knowledge would know that, but that's about what I expected from your dumbass. I suppose I will go check my diaper, but probably not for another 60 years seeing that I'm 24. Go smoke some more weed out of the bong that is mentioned in your avatar.....Actually, Don't.....You are dumb enough already from it.

I cannot wait to see your smooth ass response.....I know it will be great as always....If you were smart you'd let this die, but since you aren't I have to assume you will not.

SK

Well you got me, I do not have all the poker players pictures & know every single one of the people that are involved in the game.

I just play, I don't get all hung up on knowing them all.
So big deal. I also may find humor in some people's lack of knowledge,
but I don't take the time to shred every error I find.

All I do is point out the occassional few that make me laugh.
If someone posts a question they should know the answer without wavering, which if you read the FIRST part of my post you would notice that.

When someone says "there" & they mean "their" I don't say a word.
If someone says "passed" & they meant "past" yeah that cracks me up & I don't have a problem laughing & sharing my laughter regardless of wether people like you wanna "flame me".

I chose not to name names or single people out & I never called them names.
I just think it's funny & said so. I could care less if people flame me.

I enjoy it to a point because that's part of being on a forum.

I don't claim to be a poker expert & never have. I don't claim to be a grammar or spelling expert however, I will laugh & post about it when I see something I find funny.

It's sure better than another bad beat post.

(the Mr Wizard line was still really weak though)

If this gon be dat kinda party, ima put my dick in the mashed potatoes

what kind of punctuation is 4 commas? go back to elementary school and learn your basics before you post something, lowlife.

[quote=Don Giovanni][quote=YoHurl]Yes I know,,,,some of you will say [/quote]

He says this without using capital letters to begin his sentences.

Yeah why not get OVER critical & make the same type of mistake.
You look so much more intelligent now.

You are just as big a moron as you're trying to prove me to be.

Thanks.

Grammer and spelling wank fest to make for amusing reading.. Sha right.. and monkeys might fly out of my butt!! .I'm going go stick a nail into my eye now.. *SLAPS MY hand* Stop clicking on this thread!!

sure you were,,,,in that case so was I.
see how easy that is?
whatever you say really doesn't matter. being flamed on the internet is like being picked on by the retard at school.
he may get a good one off now & then, but in the end they are still a retard.

like I already have said, if i was trying to be a jerk I would have posted DIRECTLY to the people making the mistakes.
I consider the attention this is getting more hillarious than their mistakes.

Maybe there will be a telethon for you someday.

As the originator of the Mensa thread, I think it had great intentions. You really did not need to comment on the lack of grammar used within the thread. Are you jealous that you couldn’t figure the question out?

Problem solving can be used in relation to poker.
If you think other wise, please explain.

actually your grammar wasn't an issue.
(that was about someone else in the thread)
like i have said CERTAIN things about peoples misuse of obvious
words crack me up.

I WAS razzing you about being seemingly unable to keep track of the answer. (you also mentioned you were drinking)

But if I was trying to be a jerk about it I would have said,

"Royal you idiot you should know the answer without wavering, why don't you pull your head out."

Since I have read plenty of your posts and do not find you to be stupid, I did not. I do not recall ANY instance where I have started a thread to attack ANYONE specific.

If I want to call someone an idiot, I will. But I wouldn't start a thread to do it. I would say it to them in THEIR thread maybe.

I didn't figure it out, but I don't get jealous about anything that foolish.

whao, this guy actually wakes up early in the morning and sit around in front of his computer giving out spelling and grammar advices. that is so sad.

Yeah, it's called a JOB. I get up & go to it.
I would assume you would know about that, after all the Mc Donald's you work at has to be open for breakfast.

What i have never grasped throughout my life is how often people can confuse intelligence with the possesion of information. The smartest people in the world are not those people which have amassed the most amount of information. They are the people that can apply and conprehend incredibly complex concepts in applications in which no one else has attempted. Its seems as if your thinking, as well as that of most people would leave the computer as the smartest person in the world, indeed a large super computer can hold the most information, far greater than that of a human mind. This is simply absurd logic.

Who cares, let them have their fun and not have to worry about proper grammar.

Worst.Thread.Ever.

I'm done.

yes, i'm pretty sure everyone here pays you for your fine services. judging by earlier posts, people are very appreciative of you.



hey, you have to pick up girls somewhere right. i'm not educated enough for the ladies at the star trek conventions, i assume they fall heal over heel for a guy of your grammatical charm. BAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!
