The English language gets butchered - Off-topic

This has nothing to do with the evo 3d or any phone at all...just a general rant. I've been coming on here for 2 years and posts from people get worse and worse. I'm not talking about people in different countries, for the most part their English is pretty good. Its the people that say haz, and mines, and da instead of the. And no punctuation. Its irritating and hard to read. I'm not perfect in anyway and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but I just needed to vent.

Out of curiosity, why do you have a Chinese flag under your username?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who cringes at some of these posts. It baffles me, some of the things I see on here. From respected users, to devs, and on.

I'm not talking bad about you. Or any other person here from a different country. I can only speak english so I wouldn't even begin to do that to someone. In fact your english is probably better than most Americans.

Because I love China and I don't have any love for mine country, if I could work in China then I would move away from mine country, because I don't like the society where I live in.
Yeah we have an great social system, but that's all there is to be said about mine country.

interesting, interesting...

Yes its an big immigrant group in the Netherlands. I always say: People from like Morocco only bring us trouble, but the Chinese that come here many off them in fact have some business like Chinese restaurant.
Half bleeds are different ofcourse then original Chinese people, I also dated an hal bleed Chinese girl, but they are different, big chance they feel there self more dutch then Chinese or the other way around.
I follow this dutch Chinese on youtube

Girl...no...I'm all woman. I have tweaked my pc, tweaked my wiz...when I get another gadget I'll tweak it too. Geeks come in all types...I happen to be a mother of twins...like my husband says...beauty AND brains...and I am a football junkie...JACKPOT...
I believe the real question here is: Are there any men with enough balls to handle women who frequent xda-devs.
The last guy with big balls who tried to take on JoannaEx:
I don't think this thread was intended to be sexist IIRC, but I think inevitably in a male dominated field like this, guys think they have the upper hand. I work as a lawyer, another male dominated field, but the smartest lawyers I ever met were women. I know many very highly skilled ladeez who share our passion for rom hacking and tweaking etc.
So IMHO it's best not to joke too loudly about geek girls - I don't think many men would take a knife to your gonads, but we know that women are mentally equipped in uterus for a pre-emptive de-gonadification. And buying all those handbags and shoes is a stronger motivator.

Android sucks!

Ok everyone. I tricked you. Obviously from my posts yall know I love Android. However when you saw this title I bet you wanted to argue with me about it. Well guess what. I have a website I just launched where you can do just that. Informal Debates is a debate community and I desperately need people who want to join the site. I come here because I know you guys know your stuff (about Android at least) and I trust you guys. If you want to join, please do http://www.informaldebates.com
Oh and Toast, please forgive me for stepping out of line. I know this isn't specifically Android based but I figured this may help slow down some of the inter debating that goes on here. If you want to delete I understand don't blame you but this is my reasoning.
MOD EDIT: Moved this to off-topic for you, as it fits better in there than in one device forum

Not desperate but I just want people to use the site. I have seo measures in place, though I do need to set up meta tags for the dynamic pages. I just figure this is one way to get people interested. Besides even good seo takes a month to see any results.

A free tattoo is usually a bad idea. A tattoo is permanent and paying for quality work is a necessity. I have quite a few and I'm happy with all of my work. Once it heals, you may be able to have someone fix it.
What happened is they went too deep and/or overworked the area. Good luck with that one.

Ah, but 'emote' is a word in the English language meaning "to display exaggerated emotion as in acting behave theatrically" - it does not refer to emoticons.

So you are telling me you pronounce the word emoticon as:

Also I realize that emote is a seperate word however emote is still the proper spelling of the shorthand for emoticon.

You're quite right (almost);-
I pronounce the first part as 'emote'
I pronounce the second part as 'i-con' (the 'i' as in tin, not as in my)
Until this thread I had never actually seen anybody try to abbreviate the word 'Emoticon' to anything and I can't actually find a precedent either way at the moment.

I've always seen it as "emots" in it's abbreviated form even though it is pronounced "emotes". I think the differentiation is because "emote" is a verb. LOL
But it could just be laziness. And at least it is in haxor speak as "3m075".
Anyways, I made a compromise and corrected the title. It shall be "emōts"

Want an iPad? Best not speak Farsi then!

Why anyone would want one I do not know, I'm typing this on an iPad 3 work have forced on us (they wouldn't exchange it for a transformer prime) and it is such a heap of junk.
Anyway, American woman in the US goes into an Apple store with her Iranian uncle and speaks to him in Farsi, sales guy hears, asks what language they're speaking and when they tell him it's Iranian he tells them they can't buy any Apple products.
When they complain to Apple they're told to order online so it doesn't happen again! Great vote of confidence in their shop staff!
My typical answer would be a pic of the Ancient Aliens guy with the text "Americans", but this isn't really an american thing at all, so:

Wasn't that closed because it was turning into an Apple v Android thread?

That's probably because you're the only person bothered enough to get worked up by this.

It should be locked. If you want to discuss Apple then go to the Apple forum. If you want to tell us what you hate then post it in the "I hate ..." thread. If you just want to be angry and swear then go away and stop polluting XDA - your views aren't needed and you should remember there are youngsters here as well as old gits like me.
Some one had to do it. This thread may go in so many directions that I be pulling the Minority Report trick on it.
Thanks Scotty
