i dont get it

as you shouldn't.

you guys are douch'es

As Rob would say, "Because no one ever makes anything up on Internet".



Back at you?

And you're a liar.

And the pope's black.

Ahh stop quoting him! It's painful to see his posts.

to do better than 97% of america in writing i think you would need to be able to spell properly

massassi has had it's fair share of people dropping massive piles of bullcrap

raise your hands if you remember greywolf's claim that he got shot in the head and claimed to be posting from the hospital and his really poor attempts to backpedal once we raised the BS flag (my personal favorite moment in the history of BS at massassi)

We bought a Computer with great specs but a video card that has trouble running Peggle. Curse you, Nvidea GeForce 6150SE! Curse you!

Crap. Now I've got red pen all over my screen. Stupid editor reflexes.

Its not like im trying to claim anything that is impossible. I have bad typing skills? What does that have to do with writing? Im sorry i dont see any point in reading over every post i make on a star wars form? I mean com on. Do you really think that complaining about typing has any effect on me? Am i going to be like "OH MY GOD people dont like the way i type, i've got to change it" The test is not based on spelling anaway. Its on what you actually write about. Though i understand that that is an outrages number, as i said im in the process or getting my scores. Ill put them through my scanner and then i will show everyone, to clear up any doubts you may have. As for my typing, you can complain about it all you want, but im not going to change it, the only thing that will change it is more practice with typing. sorry, im reallly not trying to be an ***, or annoy everyone, im just trying to di what all of you do. Sorry for the annoyence, if you really hate me that much then just dont read anything i write. If it really gets to you, and i understand that it probibly dose, just dont pay any attention to me.

It's not a matter of questioning intelligence.

It's a matter of respect. If you turn in a paper riddled with lazy errors, without capitalization or punctuation, you'll get a poor grade. This is because you didn't spend enough time -- you didn't care enough -- to make some simple formatting and conventional changes.

The bigger question is: Why not take the few extra seconds to write coherently and correctly. People will respect you more. You'll sound smarter. Your points will be listened too.

No message board post is so urgent that you can't take a few seconds to punctuate and capitalize. Except maybe "Massiasi ive been kidnaped contact polees and send them to 1523 w hauethorne street."

You could even read it over out loud. Trust me. The whole reason to write on the Internet is to communicate points, ideas, thoughts, and jokes. Not spelling correctly or structuring sentences correctly actually obscures clarity.

We don't care if you mix up "your" and "you're" or "it's" and "its' or throw a comma splice in here or there. Go ahead. Split your infinitives. Dangle your participles. But strive, above all, to make it readable.

Generally, Massassi's a pretty nice community. Follow their recommendations, and they'll listen to your thoughts.

My God. For what possible reason could you think that it's okay to put an apostrophe there?

Nay, I just remember when homicide got shot in the leg and wished they hadn't missed something vital.

Alleged ACT scores can prove writing ability better than the examples of your writing that we can all see. Oh wait.

ACT essays don't say ANYTHING about how well you can write. Do you really think that the people who have to grade every kid's stupid essay are really going to closely analyze your writing style?

This post here is an example not only of your inability to write effectively and clearly, but also of your inconsiderate attitude toward grammar. Typing skills have nothing to do with how grammatically correct your posts are. It's just a matter of time. We don't demand perfection by any means, all we want is basic legibility.



Apparently it does. You've spent last few pages crying about it. If you want respect, conduct yourself in a manner that is respectable. Other shut up, and get out. Whining will only make it worse.

Already you are the least popular member here, and that's saying quite a lot.

Yeah, I remember this. I also remember him claiming he was going to commit suicide (for attention), and myself and a few others trying to talk him down in the chat (this was before he knew how full of **** he was).

Hahahaha

I own people so much I don't even have to do it in e-person anymore. I can do it by e-proxy.

Heart.


You'd be surprised, they take a few days out and do it region by region, iirc. They actually spend a LOT of time looking into it--I saw a good parallel between my ACT scores and my AP English score (29 or 30 on the writing section, 3 on my AP English exam...without studying at all.). There's a reason the ACT is growing in popularity.


No, you're just so annoying everyone has your whiny macho bull**** stuck in their heads on repeat now.

He's talking about the essay question which is optional. You don't get a score as far as remember, just percentile.

Even the AP lit test seemed pretty dumb. They care too much about length and not enough about quality. Two of my essays on the AP test were awful, and I got a 4. Of course, they asked some really stupid questions, so maybe they operate on a crap in, crap out principal. The AP Lit test is way to formulaic anyways.

Ah, well then.

The AP English test is just based too much on the multiple choice section. Just doing the multiple choice you can get a 3 if you even write SOMETHING for the essays. That would be why, probably.

But how does that work if multiple choice is only 45% of the test?

If you write anything that's in english on the writing section you get a 1 pretty much.
