- after reading yet another site that tries to be enlightening, non-stereotyping and all that jazz yet in reality ending up yet another sycophantic, contradictory mess. -
*smacks head repeatly on desk due to the continued butchery of the English language by internet illiterates* I'm getting seriously irked due to the incorrect usage of 'poser'. And I mean really, really ******** off.
A poser is a baffling question or problem, the correct spelling is poseur, and before the same old tired and redundent arguments of languages changing emerges I'll just state that yes, languages change, but that is no excuse for perfectly good words to be continually mis-spelled due to some over-excited yet imbecillic people on the internet not bothering to learn how to use the laguage they use. Learning how to spell and punctuate properly is not hard, hell if someone with dysbraxia* (eg. me) can sit down and teach their brain to spell the hard way there's absolutely no reason for other people without learning difficulties to lower the standard of literacy due to ignorance.
And that's ignorace in the correct usage, not the bastardised version that means someone who's ignoring you. If you want to use nice long words learn what they mean, you're just going to look like a gimp if you use them the wrong way.
*people with severe learning difficulties are exempt from this poke, I've been mercifully lucky with the severity of dysbraxia I've been given, at least I can read and write unlike others in my family.

Lita1692 In my class today, everyone had to do a persuasive speech and someone decided to do theirs on illegal drugs. I listened intentively, and at the end, I decided to voice my opinion, as I like to do. I started to say that pot is not all that bad, as it could be used in hospitals for people with chronic illnesses. I also mentioned several other key points, as well as some additional facts on meth and pot that the person failed to mention. My teacher then called me a pot head, and I was like are you kidding me? I would not smoke pot, as I know the harmful effects, and everytime I went to say something, she'd laugh or make a comment like "How do you know all of this about drugs?". After a while, she'd just ignore me raising my hand, or say "Another point about drugs?" This is really annoying and quite frankly, quite rude. After that, the other subjects were "Why you should join after school activites." To this I said people may feel pressured to do steriods in sports. After this whenever I went to comment on a topic (you can mention drugs on practically anything), she'd make the same comments, or people would say "Here we go again." It is not my fault that I feel I should express my opinion, and further more, add additional, negative aspects to people's topic. After class, people came up to me and asked me where they could buy drugs, continue to call me pothead, etc. How is this fair, or right, that simply because I know my facts, I should be called a pothead, without being able to defend myself?
What the hell.. that does sound quite rude. I'd go to the office or something and report it. She has no right to call you a pothead, nor do I think she is allowed to.

Indeed, it has been a shame to see what ignorant and otherwise lazy (except for people with learning disabilites, though some have worked hard to achieve correct spelling) people do to the English language when it falls into their hands. What does it take, like two seconds longer to type out the full word? Seriously, no one can understand what you are trying to say if you have no respect whatsoever for the language. Words have correct spellings for reasons.

^I'm in agreement there, I work in a library and some of the s**t-heads I get in there are just an insult to humanity.
I have a wierdo (we get a lot of them...) who comes in every month or so wanting to read about 40-50 newspapers in one day (we have a reserve of them downstairs for people to request) so, the guy gives me a list of 40 of the damn things and I go downstairs, collect the ones he told me to (I even wrote it down!!) and 5 minutes later he starts yelling that I gave him the wrong ones.....no I didn't you moron, I wrote down exactly what you told me to, it's your fault if you said the wrong ones!!
Then I get an equally annoying guy being rude ot me and everyone else (he assaulted one of them with a book, the jerk-off stare ) because he couldn't find a road map of bloody Brighton because someone had borrowed it. Surprisingly because we're a library people can take books out. I know, it's a concept that gets past me sometimes rolleyes stare And then there's this guy that goes onthe computer's for hours on end. Everyone who's a member of the library gets 7 hours on the computers each, he comes in and wants 15 hours a ******** week and then starts yelling at us because we're not allowed to extend people's hours.
And then there's the 20 people a day that expects us to know every single damn book in the library, I even got someone asking for a book on a subject so damn obsure I doubt we have one in the friggin county let alone library. *smacks head repeatedly against table* not forgetting the people that expect us to taske their s**t becauswe they've had a bad day and still smile and kiss their arse. Sorry, not gonna happen, you be rude to me I'm sure as hell gonna be rude back.
This of course isn't mentioning the people I actually work with. Some are wonderful, lovely people and they're a joy to work with...but the others...urg, I have 9 piercings, mostly in my ears, but I also have my nose and eyebrow done, two people in particular hate this and make it known. But, they can't do anything about it because there's nothing that says I have to take them out, hell, the kids that come in prefer to talk to me because of them, also I work damn hard, harder than them and it's a better shift for them because I pull their slack (I do about 60% of the shelving for them, when you've got about 200 books coming in that's a hell of a lot of walking and lifting). I think that kind of merrits them to not snear at me and actually smile nicely, not that it actually happens. Ah well, the next time the gothed-out rocker that likes the library comes in I'm leaving him to them, they don't like piercings? Ha, he's got a face FULL of them, face your fears and find out he's actually polite and doesn't give you s**t.
I swear, the only reason I go in some days is because there are those few actually nice poeple that smile and are polite because they realise that *gasp* we don't have to be there and libraries aren't a freaking right, I'd like to see someone go into a book shop and ask to borrow a book from them.
Ahh, it feels so good to rant biggrin
