should be:
I start school tomorrow. I can't wait. Does anyone else start school tomorrow?
Hopefully he'll learn something...

Well, this year and then one more until college.
Eh...yea, you got some stuff to learn...
Anyway, College = Harder work (unless you're not an Engr major...)

I know. But after college and graduate school is real life.

No. It was one missed apostrophe and the word "tomorrow" misspelled three times (if you count the thread title).

Opal, leave it. Everyone makes mistakes.

I hate school so much.

Now I'm going back.

soooooooooo stupid

It'll all be over soon, you'll feel the same relief I felt when I finished in May. :)

I have had him on ignore for some time because of his self esteem problems.

Because of school you can read.

I started August 19, you are actually starting pretty late. I don't remember a school year where I started as late as September.

Starting tomorrow.

Where do you live?
When do you get out?

I have wed and thurs, then no school friday or monday.

I started 20 days ago.

Where do you live?
When do you get out?

I live in Nebraska, and I get out on...May 28th I think, that is what it was last year. And our school days are from 8:00-3:30 so that kind of sucks. And three of my classes are 90 minutes long so it makes the school day kind of long. I almost fell asleep in science yesterday.

I started last week. In the final stretch now...just under two years left. Then commission and UPT/Grad school. :D

I started today, junior in high school. School is awesome! r0x0rs! I couldn't wait!

...

O_o

What? Why are you all looking at me like that?


Eh...yea, you got some stuff to learn...

Ooh, engineering. Fun stuff :P I'm planning on becoming an engineering major as well, although I'm leaving my options open in case that job market crashes by 2006.

@Suicidal Librarians:

My school day runs from 7:15 to 2:05, and it's 'block scheduling' - four blocks every day, with two semesters (where all classes are changed, except for a few such as band/chorus/yearbook), with every class being 90 minutes long.

So are ours. We get out on the 8th or 9th of July, and we run from 7:45-2:30/45, with a few 90 minute classes. Second period is hell (chemistry, oddly).

I don't know what it is about science that makes it so dull. Everytime the teacher begins reading out of the textbook my eyes just start to droop, and there are flashing lights all over the page. We only have 90 minute "core" classes (language arts, science, social studies, and algebra/math).

Ah, my best subject, but I still cant take it in 90 minute doses. Too much even for me.

Yeah, I start today as well!!! Sad to think that tonight is a school night...sure doesn't feel like one!!!

I have the "block" schedule, too. The 90 minute classes thing. Personally, I like it better, cause the day would seem so long if I start it knowing I had 9 classes to go to...and they're all so short! It's nice for Marching band, too...but bad for Gym (can you tell I'm not athletic?) It's nice too if there's a class you don't like...then you can have it at most, half the year!

It isn't the class, it is the teacher. Last year I had a really cool science teacher, she was really outgoing and never got boring. This guy isn't so bad, but the minute he starts to read I have to struggle not to drift off.

Ha...I had a psychotic bio teacher last year, worth going to school just for that class.

I hate school. It is so boring and we get so much homework. My worst class is
math. The taecher is form Brazil so her english sucks.

Psychotic how, exactly?

Ah, giving assignments then never collecting them, making us sing songs about the composition of amino acids, making us dance to those songs, being a bit of an environmentalist, and having "Happy time" that never really happens, except at the end of a period with one minute left to go.

:eek:

Started 10th Grade Last week,
But look on the bright side! Now that i'm in 10th, In ROTC I can harass 9th graders w00t!

9th Grader: SIr
Srg Major: What did you just call me?, Willing show him how a mustkate works
Me; should I use the RamRod Srg Major?
I made him do 30 Correct Push ups
* true story *

I think you tried to quote mine :P

I like the system better, however, I like my old high school better. Block scheduling has its positives and negatives, although generally I think there's more positives than negatives. My old school just had a much more diverse course, courtesy of being a 60,000 pop city with a 1500-student high school. My new school is in a small town, kind of dumpy, with all sorts of budget problems and a tiny course selection in comparison. I like it, though, although I do miss all the science courses my old high school offered (Bio I, II, AP, Chem I, II, AP, Physics I, AP, and Fundamental Science; the new school only has fundamental science, bio, chem, and physics)

You get more done quicker in block scheduling. I'm in marching band, although I'm not too happy about it. Marching band and concert band used to be separate (at my old school :P) and for a very good reason. But we're a small school now and don't have enough people to constitute separate bands. Take our sports teams - one town nearby, very fine school system (and large, too) has an incredible talent pool to choose from for say, basketball. Our school has to BEG players to join the team.

Downside is every course is every day. Used to be there was one day where we didn't have a course. Putting up with some courses for 90 minutes is trying as well, but the homework load makes up for it. Leaves time free to do other extracurriculars.

Where do you live btw?

Don't do the assignments, open and close your mouth profusely without uttering a single syllable (one of my school's math teachers teaches the Quadratic Formula song. To this day I'm thankful that I memorized it the conventional way long before, and that I was never in her class). Look up some sites that offer contradictory views to the standard alarmist neo-environmentalist belief that 'omfgz we're all gonna die!!! evil humans!!!'. Heh. Sounds bad though, feel sorry for you. There's one of those every year though.

How can you hate school? :shock: I can understand the math class though...if you can't understand the teacher, then it'll be pretty hard.

East Coast Federation: Sweet! I'm joining ROTC! :j/k:

Suicidal Librarians: Huskers rule!! I'm disappointed in the West Coast coming to Nebraska, though. Option was the heart and soul of Husker football. True, we weren't getting good recruits, but Solich deserved one more year (at least) to prove himself, and firing Bo Pelini was ... like, a cardinal crime. Burning down the sanctified and holy tradition of option is tearing down the slogan 'There's no place like Nebraska.' That athletic director...shameless.

ROTC huh? *snickers and thinks about what he's going to do in the next two weeks*

Yup...I just copied and pasted, but changes like two word's so I could call it my own...that's how I ace English!!!! :P

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, the I understand that whole small town thing...sort of. I live in Wisconsin, in a city about of about 12,500, with 1000 students at our High School. The block schedule does afford a lot more time afterschool, which I like. I actually had two homework intensive classes one quarter, but never had to take any work home!!! It was nice!

The Quadratic Formula song? You don't know Chula, do you (Mrs. Peterson?) I had a teacher who sang a Q. Formula song too...although, she was tone deaf, and it was mostly for the benefit of entertaining the class!

And true, how can you hate school? It's intentions are good...Although I can understand hating individual classes...I had one called Wisconsin Studies. You know all the stereotypes (Cheeseheads, cows, farming, hicks, and whatnot?) It's all true. Imagine 90 minutes a day of that!!!

I started August 19, you are actually starting pretty late. I don't remember a school year where I started as late as September.

well, mine starts on October 1

I start Friday. Astronomy 700: Intro to Astrophyiscs.

i set my school on fire, i got another three months to go before returning

but wether thats from prison or not, i will leave you to imagine

Southern Hemisphere here.

ROTC huh? *snickers and thinks about what he's going to do in the next two weeks*

:)

I've seriously been considering doing that after my last 2 yrs of college. Thing is tho, my mother is an absolute hypocrite about this - she is constantly standing behind Bush and his actions w/Iraq, and the moment I say 'ROTC,'
she's like 'OMG NO WAY ARE YOU JOINING THE MILITARY!'

Real fair. My school started.. Three weeks ago. [Friday and 13th. :rolleyes: ]

I start college on wednesday the 8th of September so I have another week of freedom!

Can't wait? Your going straight to hell (school)

I rub my middle finger in Bush!!

"ohhhahhhoh...."

You should wait. Join ROTC after you graduate college and have them pay for graduate school.

enjoy your 4 years (or more - we call them doctors) of college while you can. getting up at 5:30 am everyday for the real world is tiring. and there's no more $1 bottles, no more $3 mug nights, and no more $1 jager bomb nights when you dont go to college bars anymore. :(

Eh...after I do my 4 years time (although they say it takes the average Electrical Engineer 5 years [128 credit hours] to graduate), I'm going to do graduate school...then I'm going to get some sort of job that doesn't require me at 5:30 in the morning...

Listen to this guy kids. 1 month more of school and then i enter the real world! :eek:

Don't be a jackass. It was a simple typo.

Opal just said what we were all thinking. I commend him for that.

oh and whatever you do, keep your grades up. apparently, some companies could give 2 shits if you have a ton of relevant experience (work-related and leadership roles) if your gpa is under 3.0. nor do they care that you're about to complete a 131-hour engineering degree in 4 years. my door was covered in rejection letters...one company even sent me 2!

You should wait. Join ROTC after you graduate college and have them pay for graduate school.
Your has problems then, JROTC and or ROTC will not make you join the US army,Navy,AF, ect
But join the army anyway!

sucks to be you

unfortunately, i have to wait until september 13th.

I'd pay attention in spelling class if I were you....

Weaklings! I started a month ago! And even worse, my education is revovled around conservatism and I'm still a moderate! Weaklings!

On a lighter note, there's less racism right now, though... I miss the racism... crazy white people...

Wow. Please don't skip grammar class...
1) Besides the fact that I don't know what you said for sure, etcetera is abreviated etc. (try pronouncing ectecera, etc...)
2) I probably know more about ROTC than you do.

So what if she is from Brazil? Brazillians pwn.

Maybe if you did the homework school would be easy.

Go back to Uni on Monday. But Term doesn't start till the 27th.

So what if she is from Brazil? Brazillians pwn.

No. School would be easy if homework didn't exist. The hard part about school is doing the homework. If homework was enjoyable, no one would hate school. And his teacher being Brazillian would make the class hard because of her accent...you'll understand what he's talking about a little more if you go to college...

I just wish I knew what he was saying about the ROTC so I could fix him.
Your ROTC program has problems then, the JROTC or ROTC programs do not force you to join the US Army, Navy, Air Force or the Marines, but join the army anyway!

Eh...it still doesn't make any sense...especially since he quoted me to say that.
The ROTC program does not belong to me, nor does it belong to my college. It belongs to the United States military and is the same nationwide. My college has an Air Force and Army ROTC. You can take the classes without committing to the military, however, you cannot get any scholarship at all if you do this. If you commit to the military, the military will pay for all of your education, including stipends for food and books and such. Additionally, if you do Air Force ROTC, upon graduation, you become a 2nd Lt in the United States Air Force. I was suggesting that anyone considering doing the ROTC do it AFTER they get their bachelors, while they work on their master's degree. (Graduate school is much more expensive, etcetera).

I'm tired of your nitpicking comments. Please leave my thread.
How about you just put me on ignore or get over it. I'm not hijacking the thread.

Well i finish school on November

My vacation was too short! Heck, I've barely just finished and I'm already going back on September 7th!!

How about you just put me on ignore or get over it. I'm not hijacking the thread.

I already have you on ignore. Now leave or I contact the mods.

Outside of all that, you just don't want me posting here because I don't agree with you.

Hi...

First off all I think you guys should stop bitching about spelling mistakes and stuff... That´s not what this thread is about!

Second: I started school the 2. of August, and i won´t be leaving until somewhere in the middle of june! And I have 90 minute blocks as well. And if any of you think it´s difficult having a brazillian teacher, you should try having an old danish teacher who hasn´t spoken english for 35 years. That´s fun! If you should wonder why I have a danish teacher, it is actually because I attend school in Denmark - That is the IB-Diploma Programme.

And as a final note I would like to say, that since I am a dane - and therefore not a native english speaker, I will not have any stupid comments on my spelling or my grammar, tough I am open for constructive criticism.

By the way: My majors are (if you could call them that) math, bio, chem and philosophy. :D

I want you to leave because of multiple nitpicking of several posts.

The reason I bitch about native English people's grammar mistakes is because people like you (who don't speak English natively) come here and make a post like that, and the only error I see right off without looking to closely is an "h" that you typoed out on the word "though" (looks like "tough") so I congratulate you. However, to be a native English speaker and spell the word "tomorrow" improperly (the same way each time) three times is no typo and I get the impression that Kahta is a native English speaker (he hasn't said he isn't).

I want you to leave because of multiple nitpicking of several posts.
I don't want to leave.

I don't want to leave.
He has the right to kick you out though.

He has the right to kick you out though.
He hasn't presented a good reason, really. I mean, I've critiqued 3 posts...one was his post in which he misspelled the same word the same way 3 times (and everyone was thinking the same thing), the second time I truly could not understand what the poster was trying to say, and the third time I was complimenting the poster. Other than that, he's just spam/hijacking the thread and griping at me while I'm trying to have civil conversations.

Kahta: Get over it and just ignore Opal Isle's posts, it is the only thing that makes him stop correcting you.
Opal Isle: Don't be so tough on people. Kahta misspelled a few words, so what?

I won't take side just to let you know. But I think it's his right to kick you out, doesn't it say so in the rules? Or maybe I'm wrong... we need a mod ruling.

Oh.. So you are having you own raid against bad english??? Funny, I don´t see people welcoming your thoughts on their spellings and grammar. Perhaps they feel, as I do, that it is their own business how well they spell! I think it is very indecent(?) of you to correct people the way you do. But then again, you might have complex problems that I don´t know about=)

You are really geting on my nerves. In my opinion, you need a life and need to stop pointing out everything that someone between 4 to 8 years younger does wrong. I am borderline dyslexic with "a" and "o".

When you point out my mistakes, its like me pointing out the spelling errors of an 8-12 year old. In my opinion you must have very low self esteem and have to point out others mistakes on an online game forum to give yourself a feeling of self gratification.

Kahta: Get over it and just ignore Opal Isle's posts, it is the only thing that makes him stop correcting you.
Opal Isle: Don't be so tough on people. Kahta misspelled a few words, so what?
Eh, I don't think "so what?" is the right attitude. Maybe I should have corrected him in a nicer way, but what is wrong with educating people? Do you start bitching at your English teacher when you get your essay handed back to you with red marks on it? I don't think so.

I won't take side just to let you know. But I think it's his right to kick you out, doesn't it say so in the rules? Or maybe I'm wrong... we need a mod ruling.

You're 10? Dude, I'm not trying to make you feel bad; I'm trying to help you out. When my English teachers gave me papers back with red marks, I thanked them for helping me improve my knowledge of the English language.

People get annoyed when you correct them because you are so openly smug and sarcastic. Maybe you could have said it in a nicer way, but many people would still be annoyed because they think of your corrections as a minor hijack because so many people respond to them.

A third, objective side, but a side nonetheless.

Unlike some people, I dont have the time to type everything in MS Word and then copy it into the reply of a post. Now leave.

I don't have that kind of time either. That's part of the reason I learned the English language. (Eh...people wrote well before MS Word, so it would follow that people write well without MS Word, whether or not it exists.) (In other words, there were excellent mathematicians before calculators, eh?)

I'm 16. I always type stuff on my laptop. Because I am from an upper-middle class family, I have had access to computers since 4th grade. I am sorry that my family can afford to buy a computer and because of that I have let my spelling skills go array.

And that´s just a silly excuse... Perhaps we should try to discuss something real in here?? I don´t think we are getting anywhere with this...

I was waiting for someone to point that out to him. It was only a matter of time...

I'm 2 years older than you and in the exact same situation. I got a brand new $2000 laptop for graduation and I've typed on computers since...well, let's just say I started on MSDos and Win 3.1...so it's not really a good excuse. If you hadn't typed on computers, it'd be a better excuse because you could blame it on bad typing skills.

I thank you for your kind words...

I must admit it sounds as if you blame him for bad spelling skills... How does that fit into this thread if I might ask???

I was talking about your corrections in general. This thread isn't meant for an English lesson, and nobody hired you as the teacher.
No one hired Jesus as a teacher, but he taught. No one hired Plato as a teacher, but he taught.

And the mistake you're talking about is probably the pronoun-antecedent agreement mistake of "that," however I never said I was perfect (especially at grammar).

It started off as me being glad that he is going back to school (since he obviously had something to learn still), but he kept bringing it back up again and again and griping at me about my posts.

Nope... It wasn´t that one... So there is actually more than one... Funny how it all comes together in the end=)

Well, like I said, I'm not perfect at grammar, and it's obvious that I don't take the type to revise all of my posts before I make them. However, I'd be more than pleased it you pointed out my grammatical mishap (and I'd be surprised if it was a spelling mistake...); you'd only be enlightening me.

Nevermind. I found it. That was really bad (although it's not something I would try blaming on typos. I'd just be annoyed for making such a simple oversight and then get on with life.)

I don't have that kind of time either. That's part of the reason I learned the English language. (Eh...people wrote well before MS Word, so it would follow that people write well without MS Word, whether or not it exists.) (In other words, there were excellent mathematicians before calculators, eh?)

If I am not quite mistaken then you have edited the text, so that it doesn´t say:
(Eh...people wrote well before MS Word, so it would follow that people write well...and so on...
You wrote right
That is not a typo...

Sorry I was a bit to slow... But I see you get my point... Besides I don´t believe in Jesus...
Do you???

What part of Jesus do you not believe?

So.. Your that kind of guy... allways(?) answering a question with a question... I don´t believe in Jesus, because I don´t believe in God, and to me they are inseperable(?)... But do you??

you could say, like me, that you don't believe jesus was more than a nutjob hearing too many voices.

Just because the Bible connects Jesus to the Christian God does not automatically make Jesus fictional. I happen to believe (without a doubt) that Jesus was a real person (with a cool posse he called "The Disciples," they formed a rock band and it was good). Jesus, being a real person, taught real lessons. They are contained in the bible. I am not sure that I agree with 100% of his lessons, but there are good lessons in the book of his teachings. The same goes for Plato, and Muhammed, and others, etcetera.

EDIT: In an effort to not offend anyone, read "person" as "entity" that way it leaves it open so that he could be either a person or a human form of a diety.

I just joined this place seems like fun.

YAY!!!!!!

Looks like your a christian!

To Illich Jackal:
Well I won´t... I think that is being way too harsh. I respect peoples choices, it doesn´t matter wether they are religous or political. That is what I call tolerance, and that is a virtue I hold very dear :rolleyes:

YAY!!!!!!

Looks like your a christian!
No.
I actually have a long, confusing conspiracy theory behind the whole story of Jesus and the disciples, but we'll not discuss that here...

Ooooo. Well anyway im just a christian.

To Opal Isle
I must admit that religous debates does not appeal to me, and I am sorry for getting it started.. That wasn´t my intend. But since we are here anyway, I would like to point out that Jesus is the son of God... How can you then say that they need not have anything to do with each other???

The Bible claims that Jesus is the son of God.
The movie, Fahrenheit 9/11 claims a lot of things that even some liberals don't buy.
Need I explain further, or have I made my point?

I have actually not seen Fahrenheit 9/11... But if you say that we can´t trust the Bible one the subject of Jesus being the son of God, then how can we trust any of what is written in the Bible?? And thereby those lessons you were talking about... After all the Bible isn´t a pick ´n´ mix book of some strange sort!
So what is your point???

Eh...
Take everything with a grain of salt. I don't believe everything in Fahrenheit 9/11, but there is something to be learned from it. I don't believe everything in the bible, but there are some good lessons taught be the character known as "Jesus." Whether or not you believe in him is merely personal opinion (the same as whether or not you believe in any historical figure). I was merely pointing out that just because you don't believe in the Christian God doesn't mean Jesus didn't exist. Jews believe in Jesus, they just don't believe he was the son of God. Muslims give credit to Jesus for being a great prophet, they just don't believe he was the son of God.

Well then... I´ll just do with the Bible what I have always done... Left it to someone else to read it=)
I think the Bible is filled with stories, and as such it´s a great book (no match for the Harry Potter books of course - but ok). I just don´t believe the stories, just as little as I believe that there is a short darkhaired boy somewhere with a wand doing silly things to his family :cool:

And now! If no one has got any objections, I will go to sleep, after all it is a school day tomorrow :D And Opal Isle: If you feel the need to keep this discussion going, or to start a new one, feel free to contact me through my hounorable(?) country... Perhaps we could exchange msn, so that we could keep discussions going off site...
Yours sincerely for today

I have asked the mods to lock this thread because it has gone way off topic.

iLock at the request of the thread author.

How about you just put me on ignore or get over it. I'm not hijacking the thread.
Actually, you were being obnoxious enough about it that I'm tempted to warn you for thread hijacking.

If someones spelling or grammar is bad enough to make their post unclear, then ask for a clarification. Otherwise, don't be obnoxious about it.
