Well, "big words" as you call them aren't necessarily bad. If they make you feel inferior that's really your problem. Just look at mensrea's posts...don't tell me you think all his posts are depressing to read.

That said, tfeign's "revisions" aren't great, but it's not because he uses "big words." They're bad because his diction is off. For example, as Faksteve pointed out, "speculate" is not used properly. The word he's probably looking for is "discern." His sentences certainly seem more professional in a glance, but there certainly are glaring mistakes that are obvious to a more critical eye.

And more exasperating than that his arrogance. Really, I think that's what pissing people off even if they don't mention it. Stuff like, "listen to me and you'll ace your presentation." There are only a few people on this site smart enough to say stuff like that seriously (certainly not tfeign or me), and even they never need to say it.

Yah from the first post I saw from grady I was like "Why did tfeign make a new account?" He talks like him, too.

In case you haven't noticed Tfeign, you only replied to his last pragraph, but to the other 2, which held the constructive criticism you value so much, you didn't even care to respond.

I'll show all the arrogance I want to those who make ignorant posts. In case you haven't yet noticed, I haven't responded to 1 single post which thoughtfully tried to criticize my paragraph. But if you make stupid ignorant posts with the intent to piss me off then seriously

Here's a classic example:


Nice try at putting words in my mouth. Congratulations. You earn the gold award for the post with the most obvious intent to piss me off.





Stupid ignorant assumptions. Yes? Some people can't accept the idea that there are people who like my style, and has to stoop this low to do it.

Also, yes, some of what he wrote sounds like he was doing a buisness related presentation but other parts just sound fucking ridiculous.

"See if you are able to speculate"

.. He hasn't even replied to this --;; Nor to splinters posts. I mean seriously, the 'replies made to piss you off' came about only when you wouldn't reply to their real posts.

Umm..what exactly do you want me to reply to the posts with constructive criticism? I don't get it. I don't respond as a way to say that I can accept the difference of opinion. There are at least 10 posts with that in this thread, all of which was okay with me. Littered among these, however (as I have specifically pointed out), are posts that attempted to either piss me off or stoop down real low to make an argument that I'm wrong.

No, I'm a stroke victim who's drunk. I am, unfortunately, unable to speculate ;/

Seriosuly, tfeign, I know some elementary school students who know that your definition for "half a billion" is wayyyyy off -_- Please stop trying to show off your mad dictionary skills and please write something that's actually sensible

wtf. Have you even bothered to read the thread? I think I'll just quote myself for my sake of time









Please stop trying to act smart and actually contribute something new to the thread instead of saying the same shit that has been repeated twenty fucking times?
