"What do you mean you major in English? You're just 14 years old!"

"I mean it is my best subject. Sorry, it came out incorrectly."

"How ironic..."

"Explain. Please."



this made me laugh, irony being a technique used in english :)

Little Brother of the North...

Don't you realize that you're being ridiculed? I don't feel bad for you - don't get me wrong here. I just can't figure out if you realize that you're being made fun of. Do you realize it?

Even through the patience (and maybe right there, embedded in the patience) is derision. Can you not see that?

It's really kinda sad. :(

Look, man:

(unbelievable, but true) You wrote:They aren't badly written at all! I tried to explain them as well as possible without photos, since they were unworkable. I major in english, so how bad could they possibly be?


If your reader can't make sense of what you wrote, your opinion doesn't matter. They are the ones who have to read it. If they find it hard to comprehend, then it is.

You're a major in English? Jesus wept.

If you are putting out a manuscript that goes over a knot, you must - you absolutely must - include photos or line drawings. The greatest of writers would have a hard time describing tying a knot or the finer points of knots. These require pictures, whether photo or line drawing.

God, man, wake up.

Mike.

i dunno...hmmm...lets see...

"you take the left side and the right side, cross the left over the right with your right hand, crossing over to your left hand, release your left while grabbing both left and right with your right hand, before pulling the right through the gap with the left and right, take your left and grab the now left previously right left side with your right, and the now right previously left but now right with your left. and now pull right through"

see - and I've just taken my A Level English Literature exam...so it must be easy to understand!

Love

No, he's just kidding. The material didn't even have that! It just said unloop the knot to make it false or something along the lines of that.

If you're thinking of locking it, you'll have to wait for everyone else who's getting a copy to review it. It'd be unfair if I'm the only one who gets a chance.

Also, what does being sick have to do with being unable to send files across the internet? Mike, you're still able to post here with surprising consistency...
