Your day, was the day prior, where one learns that its ok, to be anal.
Its ok, to be retentive.
It's not ok, to marry the two.
Actually, I am painfully aware that a lot of people think it's bad form to point out errors in grammar and spelling. Somehow it's not bad form to call folks like me names (of which "anal retentive" is probably one of the milder sort). Funny how that works.
I assume that you amassed your huge net worth without having to work in a job that required communicating with others. I can only guess as to the sorts of jobs where no one cares about how you write, but still pay so handsomely.
Should current trends continue, I'll have to say that DW's dialogues are unrealistic. In two millenia, our descendents will obviously sound like Jar-Jar Binks rather than the articulate people he portrays.
"Meesa shoot missile at Manties!" Given the abysmal education he says the typical Dolist has, even that might be too advanced.
Whew, man are you wrapped tightly!
They care about how I write.
They just don't care about how I write, in a forum.
What they really care about is that I do my job and I do it well, and don't care about the handsome salary that they pay me. I work because I love my field and my career and I feel as if I am doing something important.
And if I were to write for profit, I can afford to hire an editor. You would be my first choice! I am certain you wouldn't miss a thing.
And please allow me to apologize in advance so perhaps you won't waste a thread on it...
I have a tendency to not use enough commas, sometimes I don't properly punctuate, sometimes I don't use a capital at the beginning of sentences, sometimes I don't even use complete sentences...because I am making time to visit the forum. Almost all the time I am in the forum I am, watching sports (tennis at the mo) compiling software and programming, talking on the phone, usually overseas, socializing, and courting.
In fact, when I read your post I was on a call with my accountant, whom is overseas. Recent laws have changed regarding offshore bank accounts. Many people legally use offshore accounts as some protection against local financial instability.
You really don't have a clue, do you?
And one more thing.
I am doing all of this, on a 7 inch device with a software keyboard. My big thumbs on a hunt-and-peck paradigm. It does not motivate lotsa (excuse word, i can feel your knickers bunchin up) typing, rather cryptic sentences, like texting on older phones.
U should feel 4tunate that i don't communicate like this.
I do not use my business computer, or development computers for forums or chats.
The less that they are online, the less of a security risk.
Besides, my development computers are always busy.
When I first joined the forum I caught alot of feedback about my improvised signature and had a hard time explaining why I couldn't access it, that a part of my screen was inaccessible in my environment and I was snowed in at the beach with no other computers hiding the fact that I was foruming (he's making up words
) from my fiancee.
How I amassed my fortune was in various ways, not all in one endeavor.
My first million was made before the completion of my undergraduate studies.
My third million before the fruition of grad school.
