This is a matter very dear to your heart.
edit...but just to clarify.
I tried to learn chinese for a holiday i was going on, and befriended some cleaners at the work. Watching the abuse they took by bigots and fools was painful to watch, and i have no time for anyone who treats a person in this fashion. Add to this the fact that i had limmited english skills myself (poorly educated), but a higher than average I.Q. it just gets at my goat when the fools rise to the top based on nothing more that intellectual bullying.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundOk, my request to have you actually read my argument and give me a summary was met with silence. Your arguments against me are ridiculous on so many levels I can't even begin to address here.
just a small list of other points you failed to address.
these are arguments made in this thread, that i suggest you either didn't read, or havent considered. . .these are all quotes.
1.but the point is.
If Nelson Mandella was illiterate, would that make his words useless, and worthy of nothing but purile jokes?
2.Absolutely correct.
It i ...[text shortened]... point. why would a French (insert any foreign country) PC have an english spellchecker?
Never once did I say that everyone should learn English. Never once did I say any rude remarks against people who don't speak English. Yet your entire argument against me revolves around those two points, that I am a hypocrite and that I play chess poorly.
The only conclusions I could come up with were these:
1. You desperately needed to start a fight and used baseless and uninformed accusations to do so with me, while I was just commenting on an argument I found interesting.
2. You were wasted last night and decided to post an "argument."
3. You can't read.
Perhaps you should try to understand before you seek to be understood.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundAhh...the same useless drivel. No wonder you can't convince anyone to stop harping on people about spelling. It's like fighting idiots (the people who get mad about spelling) with idiots (your arguments).
go away
Thanks for the fast reply though, that sure was sweet. 😉
