i am not illiterate nor stupid nor an idiot

Published on January 5, 2008 By danielost In Current Events

i have trouble with spelling, and i haven't written anything for over 20 years. at least not until i started writing on here. yes this is a bad excuse, but i will use it.

i do not pretend to be able to spell. i am the first to admit it.

i will not be silenced because people want me to be.

i have clinical depression. no the meds don't work on me.

i also have a personality disorder it means i hate being told what to do even if i know i should do it.

but i can read goodly enough to get by. if there is a word i have problems with i can look it up to find out what it means.

i have failed at everything i try. except driving taxi. but at least i keep trying.

i live with my dad have done so for 4 years because he said he needed help. my two brothers either wouldn't or couldn't do it. it was my biggest mistake moving here because my father is/was abusive. i knew that before i moved here.

no i will not abandon him. no i will not make it to heaven. that idea ended 44 years and 7 months ago. the day i was born.

the reason is because i remember my first thought. "SO THIS IS LIFE!!!!!!!!" and that was the way the thought came out. i remember seeing the shadows of the doctors and nurses. because i remember this, i know that there was something before life. a conses(spch)(ie a spirit) but not life.

but i do my best to do the best i can with everything i do.

my mom told me the first time i tried to hold a girls hand i was two days old. it was the girl in the crib next to mine in the hospital. lol.

i know some of you will flame me for what i have written but i don't care. i am just tired of people i disagree with telling me that i am stupid because i don't agree with them.

like in the last blog, will not name the person, i disagreed with her on which was more important and because i disagreed with her she called me the two names that i used in the title.

there have been a few others on here who have done this too. again no names.

with the exception of gene i do not think i have called any one stupid or an idiot because they disagree with me. if i have i am sorry.

when i make a mistake and i am sure i have made one. i admit it.

Misunderstand is one thing but context is another. You spout out one liners as if they are 'brilliant' rebuttals that have no logical sequence. You give us no context so it is EASY to misunderstand what you write. Especially, with statements like:

(Citizen)KFC Kickin For Christ

so your ready to take a shower in the mens locker room with all the guys hanging out.

in this case I didn't make a mistake or misunderstand what was going on.

how ever how come kfc and you did not understand what I was trying to do. in no way was I attacking kfc. the thread was about a woman changing cloths in the mens locker room.

you two then decided to show how common it was for women/girls change on a bus without showing anything. so I tried to show that the two things were not the same thing.

like I have said I am so glad that I am not perfect like you people seem to be.

when I make a mistake I admit it and say I am sorry for the mistake. then I move on.

if however I am not convinced that I made a mistake then forget it.

making a mistake does not make anybody stupid or an idiot or illiterate. however knowing that you made a mistake and not correcting it does, or attacking someone after you have blacklisted them so that they cannot respond. no sorry that doesn't make you stupid or an idiot or illiterate, it makes you childish.

isn't that right little-whip.

it is so easy to attack someone who is tied up isn't it little-whip.

No, making asinine comments like yours proves someone stupid or an idiot.

And your inability to deal with comprehension proves your lack of literacy.

my inability to deal with comprehension.

you mean because I not knowing about one person named Crosby.

or because I stuck a because into a sentence where it should have been.

you know just because I didn't know about this person since I have never listened to that type of music didn't make my comment wrong.

and I already stated that I was sorry about automatically putting a because into a sentence that needed one.

if she had said I am a housewife not a computer expert or I am not a computer expert I am a housewife. then I wouldn't have taken it as an excuse.

now you see every sentence that I started with the word because or most of the sentences that have the word because in it is an excuse.

nor have I condemned someone because they have made a mistake. when little-whip and gid and moderateman and the others who were stomping on me because I had some spelling mistakes were making them to. maybe not as often as I do. but they were.

again I didn't even know about a Daniel Crosby. I also assumed that the other two names were bald people since that was what that blog was talking about at the time.

but since bing Crosby dead with either a full head of hair or a very good rug. he didn't fall into that category. but Cosby did and those two have had their names mixed up before.

First of all, the sentence didn't *NEED* a "because" entered into it. It made perfect sense the way it was. YOU just decided it was an excuse and put it in there.

So, because you don't understand common English, we should start phrasing things so that it makes sense to you?

Or, is it that you make so many excuses yourself that you ASSUME that everyone else is doing the same?

No, Daniel that was not what we were trying to show. Your obvious lack of comprehension and insistent cover up leads me to believe you are a pathological liar with a cynically conceived version of reality.

like I have said I am so glad that I am not perfect like you people seem to be.

when I make a mistake I admit it and say I am sorry for the mistake. then I move on.

if however I am not convinced that I made a mistake then forget it.

More evidence that you might be a pathological liar with a cynically conceived version of reality.

however knowing that you made a mistake and not correcting it does, or attacking someone after you have blacklisted them so that they cannot respond. no sorry that doesn't make you stupid or an idiot or illiterate, it makes you childish.

More evidence?

Daniel, just write what you want, how you want, when you want and don't worry so much about who reads you and who doesn't... or what they say about what you write. Don' b so defensive.

Daniel, you need help.

Spell check isn't your only problem. You need to proof read what you write. If you aren't catching the mistakes, maybe you need to have someone else take a look at it.

You still don't seem to understand why things like spelling, punctuation and grammar are important.

but since bing Crosby dead with either a full head of hair or a very good rug. he didn't fall into that category. but Cosby did and those two have had their names mixed up before.

You failed to capitalize the start of any sentence in the entire comment. As a general rule you shouldn't start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction like but; let alone a paragraph. You capitalized Crosby but not Bing. Bing Crosby died he didn't dead. You might use a comma between category and but. It's Crosby not Cosby. Those guys aren't even remotely close to each other. You use those two when in the sentence you have spoken about three people. If you choose to put a comma between category and but you are in danger of creating a run on sentence with the rest of what you wrote.

Bing Crosby died with a full head of hair or a very good rug. He did not fall into that category but Crosby did. These two men have had their names mixed up before.

The problem with all of your grammar and spelling is that it destroys the message you are trying to convey. If you aren't willing to take the time to correct mistakes like that, why should we take the time to read what you have to say? It's one thing to be considered an idiot because of what you have to say. It's another thing entirely to be misunderstood and considered an idiot because you failed to take the time to properly convey your message.

You would do yourself a favor to enroll in an Introduction to Mass Communications course at your local Community College. They will help you understand why it is important to communicate effectively.

BTW- I suck at writing. I use any tool I can to check myself.

Daniel some more good advice that you might want to consider.

You people are correct. I have been a little lazy. I will try to capitalize the beginning of my sentences. As I have doing with "I". As for grammar I have always had a problem with it. But I will try to do better. This does not mean that I will not make mistakes or even get better. It just means I will try.

I tried to find a grammar checker like the spell checker I am using but didn't find one.

As for little-whip, she once more expressed her desire to kill someone because they made a mistake. I forget which thread this was in and I am sure she doesn't really mean it. But I take people at their word usually.

danielost

First of all, the sentence didn't *NEED* a "because" entered into it. It made perfect sense the way it was. YOU just decided it was an excuse and put it in there.

I said it was a mistake on my part what more can I say.

You capitalized Crosby but not Bing.

sorry I didn't capitalize either my spell checker did. But, you are right.
