    Since you like to encourage the OP style of communicating, I went ahead and amended your post by removing all punctuation, capitalization and combined all into one paragraph. Now you can stoop down to his level instead of helping by correcting him.

    I am truly sorry for my grammer i have moved all over the world as a kid. Was never given proper gramer course, i was never good at gramer and spelling is the worse. but i wound like to take back what i said before about being a dick. I was just really tired because of graduation and all of these projects i have to do. I never relized how you guys thought about kids now a days. Again i just want to say sorry.

    It's not anything against you.

    If anything, it's more of a form of "tough love".

    You will go much farther in life with proper grammar, good writing skills, and a strong vocabulary than without it.

    Being able to communicate your thoughts clearly and concisely will put you light years ahead of your peers, and encourage people to take you more seriously.

    If your english skills are behind, that's fine.

    Given today's educational system, I can hardly blame you.

    But you have the power to do something about it.

    So grab a book, do some practicing, and fix the problem.

    Trust me, in 5 years, you'll look back and realize it was one of the best things you ever did for yourself.

    Crunch time during graduation IS stressful. I remember that pretty well, and I can definitely understand.

    Just be sure that when you're finished graduating that you make some time for it.

    You'll never "have" any time to give. You have to MAKE time for things that are important to you.

    Good luck on graduation.

I remember a fine day in a mediocre middle school dealing with a teacher who felt that I was an “idiot.” Turns out, dyslexic, but that is beside the point, the point is, I ended up shutting down to his class and spent the rest of it thinking about the fine looking, acne faced, pre-pubescent females in my class and my totally consuming fear of them. Second point, who invented Cell phones, and there by texting, OLD PEOPLE! Like, Nuff said.

    Additional concept
    “Like” being said as a word with no meaning but expressing that the speaker is thinking is found to be bothersome as it is a word with meaning unto itself, this would be a logical complaint, but words such as “Ah” when spoken signifying thought may also be a word, as in “She purchased a new car” in certain accents. And the statement of “ah” is frequently found to be much more…palatable.

    Cheers to you young man, the expression of your thoughts, while largely unintelligible, was clear enough, and you served to give a few fuds a few more grey hairs, reminding them that they will in all likelihood die first, and our new bastard pigeon Spanglish will live on. Viva La, like, Engl-eezy!

    How we feel about kids... hmm.
    I think all of us "old cusses" would say that we truly want the best for our friends... and since you are here hanging out with us now, you have, by extension, become 'one of us'. Therefore, we will always encourage you to better yourself and would hope you would do the same for us. It is a tough love... but love none the less.

    So, no apologies necessary, just remember the old saying...

(Dad military/government work, been everywhere except the Sandbox.) Hinting, that moving is not an excuse, pick up a book. Was never given proper gramer course, i was never good at gramer and spelling is the worse. You are fine at it, just need to be more cognizent and add in the punctuation and capitalizing. That's why we go to school, to learn. but i wound like to take back what i said before about being a dick. No biggie, we are all dicks sooner or later.. There are three types of people in the world... I was just really tired because of graduation and all of these projects i have to do. It gets worse in the real world my friend. I never relized how you guys thought about kids now a days. We don't think completely bad things about "kids" now a days. There is a lot socially going on that we do not agree with. I am simply AMAZED by some of the 18 year old computer geeks floating around... however, it would be nice if they would learn to dress, tie their shoes, comb their hair, etc. Again i just want to say sorry. And I'm sorry for getting onto you, I had a bad day yesterday and I let me emotions get the better of me. Oh the fun of being human.
    I really need to figure out how to do the multiple quoting from different people... sooner or later.

    Yeah, that red text in the middle of other text is difficult to read. I just quote the whole thing and cut it up and copy and past the tags if I want to break it up. I've never used the multiquote thing, so that might be easier.


    I'm almost positive that I'm different, but I always get irked at people complaining about finals and graduation. I was never any more stressed or busy at any time of the year than any other. I got so tired of hearing people complaining about taking finals. "I have FOUR finals today!" So what? I guess that was because I never really studied for any tests though, and didn't think much harder on tests than I normally did in class.

    I didn't even attend my college graduation. My parents tried to make me, but I still feel like I did the right thing by dodging that whole mess. Like I want to sit in the middle of a soccer field with 1,500 other people that I didn't even know for 6 hours just to have my name read and 3 people clap for me. I don't even know when my graduation was supposed to be. Once I finished classes, I went and got a job.
