Nah, Dyslexia is eyes to brain, this is brain to hands, we got stuck with the retarded cousin....do you have bad handwriting and/or hold your pencil weird?

Ugh, my handwriting is appalling, which I always thought was weird b/c I am quite a good artist. Go figure. Maybe I should learn chinese.

I hold my pencil normally, but that's a product of the english school system circa 1975. (Everyone in the school held it properly eventually, or else).

Oh, And JMC, I (Started To Anyways) Watched The Movie In Your Signature. I Immediatly Got My Dad To Donate 50 Dollars To That Orginaztion. That Video Just Made Me Sick. How Can Anyone Do That To Those Poor Animals? One More Reason For Me To Join The Green Party When It Comes Time To Register.

Yeah my handwriting is awful too, yet I tend to be a much better artist as well. Maybe it's because it allows you more freedom to use your hand?

1. Students may exhibit strong verbal but particularly poor writing skills .

2. Random (or non-existent) punctuation. Spelling errors (sometimes same word spelled differently); reversals; phonic approximations; syllable omissions; errors in common suffixes. Clumsiness and disordering of syntax; an impression of illiteracy. Misinterpretation of questions and questionnaire items. Disordered numbering and written number reversals.

3. Generally illegible writing (despite appropriate time and attention given the task).

4. Inconsistencies : mixtures of print and cursive, upper and lower case, or irregular sizes, shapes, or slant of letters.

5. Unfinished words or letters, omitted words.


6. Inconsistent position on page with respect to lines and margins and inconsistent spaces between words and letters.


7. Cramped or unusual grip, especially holding the writing instrument very close to the paper, or holding thumb over two fingers and writing from the wrist.

8. Talking to self while writing, or carefully watching the hand that is writing.

9. Slow or labored copying or writing - even if it is neat and legible.

Yep, that pretty much describes me, though I don't have a very severe case, I think.

There have been people stating that this action amounts to censorship, i.e. initial capitalization should be forbidden. That is incorrect. The opinions expressed in here amount to censureship, i.e. a strong condemnation of the behavior as unacceptable. In all my foruming years, I have never seen such an overwhelming condemnation of behavior in a public forum. Many forums don't even have 100 regular posters, let alone 100 people that have the same opinion on a particular issue.

So here's my appeal:

Ritalina, please stop. I understand that you feel that it is freedom of expression. I feel that it is annoying, detracts from what you are posting, and makes it difficult to respect what you post. If you still feel that your freedom of expression is more important than respecting the requests of your fellow forum participants, then it is equally reasonable for people to withhold their respect for you.

I wouldn't suggest ignore lists, per se. My suggestion would be to withhold replies. If there's anything worse than negative attention, it's no attention at all.

Exactly, the more apt way of dealing with this is a mass ignore. That would be great if we got at least 100 people to ignore him.

Is The Way I Type As Annoying As This? (Note I Didn't Bother At All To Figure Out What This Says.)Though it wasn't exactly the point I intended to make, to me, yes.

Ok I wrote it (thus theoretically know what it says), and I'm nearly two decades older than you (if I'm remembering your stated age correctly), so 've managed to pick up the skills to read upside-down and mirrored. Even so, character-reversed text written in a grammatically correct manner and with a flowing manner is much easier for me to read than S omething T hat E ssentially B reaks U p T he W ay T he W ords A ppear O n T he P age.

When you read, you don't read each letter. You read some sort of fuzzy 'shape' of the word. So much so that you can eevn raed txet wehre olny the frist & lsat lrettes of erevy wrod is in teihr corcert potisinos. Capitals spoil it much more than simply gnisrever hcae dna yreve drow (in my humble opinion) and if you 'ecnatnes eht pilf yllatot' it works even better in my eyes...

Ok, so I went to extremes by actually writing it sdrawkcab, but... Well, the point wasn't that I found it easier to read that, but I can... Honestly and truly..! Not at the same speed as I can read text such as this, but more fluidly than I read Y our C apitalised S entences, G iven H ow I t M akes T he R eading P rocess A S top/S tart P rocess...

But this is just one (probably warped) person's opinion. And, as you didn't try to read it, you won't have found my comment on one of your msot common grammatical errors, so at least I don't have to admit being a Grammar Nazi. ;)

[PS. I did say, 'sdrawkcab', that that would be the last I'd say on the matter. I was obviously mistaken. From now on I will not comment on your (Ritlina's) text (on pain of pain, if you like), but will happily discuss my own contributions to the thread if so required...

Is The Way I Type As Annoying As This? (Note I Didn't Bother At All To Figure Out What This Says.)
yes. his still had a coherant flow. As he stated, we only actually read the first and last letters in a word. The rest is sort of scanned quickly. A capital has the effect of making a word stocatto and disjointed from the surrounding text. When it is every word, it ruins the sentence. Additionally, it causes problems with format...sentences over 45 words or so become convoluded in meaning. It is complex to read. Capitalizing every word creates the illusion that it is all one sentence, and therefore makes the meaning easily lost.

No, first he tried to make up an assload of qualifiers, and then when all of those failed he backed out completely.
And I'd suggest reading from around page 20 to page 30 (at around the point where it turned into a game of throwing rocks at a trapped dog), some of that is pretty kwality stuff.

ROFL. That is quality.

I fully support the Exclusion Zone idea. I'm sure after 5 minutes reading Ritlina's stuff I can impress upon the Indian government the need for such a thing.

This has gone on for 38 pages now, and it shows no sign of quitting.

Look, he has his reasons for doing so. Yes, this petition was his idea, but the thing is it could never work: this petition needs but one vote to work, and you have already lost it.

It is not mine; I do not have that level of arrogance. It is his.

If you want Ritlina to stop, instead of trying to outshout him, perhaps you should try a more diplomatic approach. Basic people skills: since he has his reasons for typing the way he does, you need to show him he gains more by doing things like the rest of us; why should he go through the effort of changing his ways when he has nothing to gain.

Even if he continues, chances are you might leave with a greater understanding for why he does that.

But arguing and flaming and complaining only accomplishes things in a democratic environment, and since Ritlina's actions are not subject to mass approval, you need to win his in order to succeed.

You really think we haven't tried that? Several people have asked him (for it must be a him, no doubt about it) to stop before, more or less politely and have asked why (why, oh WHY??) he keeps doing it/why he started typing like that in the first place.

What do you think the answer was?
'No. Deal with it.' for the first part and
' ' as to why he chose to type like that (that's right... he failed to ever mention anything concerning the reasons for it all whenever I was around to hear/read it. )

Besides, he did say 'I'll stop it you get a hundred people to sign the petition'.
So we did. It was just a further step on the way.

I would have 250+ posts if I hadn't lost my old account (and I currently only have this account). And I haven't been as active since so it's not high. But yes, it is annoying.

Oh, and I give my word I'm not going to create another account for this poll.

Before I vote, can I ask one question of Ritlina?

Why do you capitalize every word? Is English your second language? (Serious question.)

EDIT: Nevermind... it won't matter anyway. :p

Ye gods. You know you've annoyed people on General when you get everyone from Eutrusca to Kanabia voting against you - and even a freakin' mod, for crying out loud.

More than 150 people have spoken against this posting style - yet he won't change, even for the consideration of over a hundred posters on General - and most of the big names as well.

Might I suggest a wholesale boycott using ignores if this doesn't work? 150+ people ignoring it might make him a tad lonely and make him stop.

It's fairly obvious that the mere presence of this thread indicates that the "assclown" style of typing is unpopular.

Do you really expect to be taken seriously if all that you bring to the table is a lame form of posting? Why not let your ideas actually stand on their own merit?

I don't try reading rITLINA's posts now.

I pity the shift key on the keyboard, needs a holiday. I suspect rITLINA's shift key will be more worn out than the Enter key.

171 people have said they want it to stop - now then, since the forum seems to have shown that the vast majority of people find this annoying - will Ritlina take other people into consideration and stop the annoying style?
