SHEEP FLOCK TOGETHER.. STUPIDITY IS CONTAGIOUS... YOU CAN ONLY SPEAK AS INTELLIGENTLY AS THE PERSON YOUR TRYING TO SPEAK TO... DO NOT SINK TO THEIR LEVEL, MAKE THEM COME UP TO YOUR LEVEL

Speaking of improper writing skills. You know there is a CAPS LOCK button on your keyboard. I guess you write your dissertations in all caps. Is that how they do it at Asshat University?

I reserve "Proper english" for courtrooms, roadside checkpoints, respected elders, and a few others.

America isn't called the melting pot for no reason. So many cultures are packed into urban environments where a lot of customs, traditions, and vocabularies are overlapping. Just because you see something one way, in this case it is how to talk, doesn't have any gauge on how another person perceives "proper vocabulary". Communication is like eating food. It happens among all people of all cultures - everyone has many of the same dietary staples however they employ them in their diet many different ways. I'm sure you have a meal you enjoy having prepared a certain way...what if I was to tell you that you're making it wrong or eating it wrong or it tastes wrong......just foolish... There are no rules in life, it's just using what we got and making shit happen, plain and simple. If you have a problem understanding a point someone is trying to communicate maybe it is you that is the problem, lacking the cultural evolutionary traits needed to live in the cultural rainbow spectrum that is the world these days.

**please forgive any spelling/grammar errors**

i don't understand...
you complain about people using improper grammar, improper spelling, and poor language skills, but you are the worst speller i've seen!

if there was a grammar nazi, i don't think he or she would enlist your help.

while it is true, we have seen a lot of 'dumbing down' lately, it is no one's fault here at ICMAG.

get over it.

here is a splendid idea for you: find a proper grammar forum, and see how long you last there!

good day.
 
i find it funny when people fuck up common words or sayings. hard not to call em out on it.
e-writing really pisses me off sometimes too. typing with 3's for E's, Z's for S's, RanDoM CApS, ect.
i use the same filter for real life as i do on a public forum.

LOL FAIL. F. Kill yourself......again.
I can't tell if you are seriously this much of a dumbass or if you are just joking.
 
My English grammar sucks yep.
A lot of American people have this problem.
I have actually thought about becoming educated in this area through tutoring.

I disagree with you that ICMAG is an INTELLIGENCE site.
Most questions go unanswered because of lack of intelligence and reputation.
Also those with the intelligence don't share what they have earned rightfully, but lose it overtime like all things hoarded.
Those who share there discoveries, are sharing knowledge they discovered, most rarely ever share something intelligent.


Thats my op, im sure someone intelligent will come along and correct my grammar and share there knowledge on how unintelligent i am.

I think SIR_NUGGET is out of his element. How else could you explain a post of this nature? The shear lack of understanding for the grower and stoner alike. 420 mag has a thread that explains all of the euphemisms and slang used by growers and stoners alike. It's suppose to help people read the forums with understanding.

You would be surprised what some of the people whom frequent this forum do for a living. Some wear suits some wear coveralls, some don't work. Cannabis is what brings us all together.

Your probably a cop or some sort of politically correct nut job. Either Way, the name SIR_NUGGET fits you like a glove.
Hell, you might look into changing your real name to SIR_NUGGET.

this is what i mean. Ultimately, I think ICMag can be even better by supplying better quality info, in the form of higher quality written threads and posts. Pics are important, but what is a pic with no explanation? BORING

i mean imagine what a difference it would really make if most ppl tried to use better grammar more often? this site would only be BETTER! for those of u calling me a nazi, u rlly don't know me.. stop defending your ignorance and look to the light. the light of proper grammer, it is shining in your faces but you do not want to see it, it will open your minds

Actually this subject has been of interest to me for a while now.

What really concerns me is the brain-washing of people that leads to them accepting that there are 'rules' in grammar, written and, indeed, spoken English.

This is of course utter and complete hogwash.

There are no rules, there are conventions and 'accepted' usages especially in academic circles where for research and scientific purposes dual-meanings could be confusing, to them. But as for the rest of us please be as creative as possible because this undermines the state and it's mission to control.

Therefore say what thou wilt and finger up to the wassocks and how you like it said to them all everyone everybody.

"Proper written English is a rare sight on ICMag. ICMag is an intelligence web site, but the site's users use improper written English."

LOL really?Are you serious?? Sounds like possibly you are lacking that because if you have ever done studies on intelligence you would obviously know if you remove letters but the main word structure remains the human brain with most people will automatically fill in the blanks.So maybe your reading level isn't as high as it should be?...Oh and one more thing if you can communicate faster by typing less you are more productive there for a smarter approach to communication. You can spend hours on here writing proper but I'll be taking care of my patients..a bit more important. Oh and you'll still understand me.

Please spare us the whole argument that its so important to this community. You know with forcing people to see it your way your no better than the people that continue to make MJ illegal.Welcome to America with freedom of expression/speech. Sounds to me like you'd rather take away that right yes? I highly doubt if you have any intelligence you will answer yes so with that said setting double standards is not a good practice either..So pls if its to mch to ask for then you mght be better off elsewhre.

It sounds like you are close minded instead of intelligence issues as we all have our own perception on intelligence.


EDIT: If you want to read a bit more on comprehension and reading go look into the studies done by Matt Davis with Cambridge University.
