Re: Never a perfect society......
heehe! yikes!!
" I think that the humanity will lose a certain level of foolishness "
Unless we use necessary grammar and orthography, with the good structure of sentence, you will not be able of transmitting your thoughts apparently. To go up above foolishness, it is necessary to be willing he learn to and to apply this information. In another way, you can also speak another language
basically- we may as well be speaking another language

Re: Never a perfect society......
as chief inspector of the language police, i have put all you misspellers on the secret watch list. we know where you live.  just when you thought everything was perfect & peachy.
now since all communication is recumbent on the divan of context, i gently & jokingly remind all you bozos that this is a science forum and science is, if not nothing, sitting squarely on strict rules. the rules for expository writing make for concision in writing every bit as like the rules in mathematics. so, let's cross those t's & dot those i's, keep the columns straight, and no whining about the consequences of failing that.

Re: Never a perfect society......
If your current mistakes were on purpose, then your post would be quite funny. However, given your past track record, I am not sure.

If you chase perfection, you often catch excellence. ~William Fowble
we turtles know a thing or two about racin'.  the proper word is 'capital', not 'capitol', when referring to uppercase letters.

Re: Never a perfect society......
you are cracking me up!
misteaks= mistakes
endeveour= endeavour
and of course you have used the words eyes, tease, and capitol incorrectly- but I thought you did that on purpose

I hope all this is adding to Buddy Z's pursuit.  Here's the perfect thread for all them homophones and homonyms: >> Homonyms and Their Grammatical Heirs Mountain grown, dark roasted, and finely ground under the wheel of history. You want a bare bodkin with that?
