Educations galore!

[KoC]

okay... so.. i need to lern how to wright without using exessiv amounts of fullstops....
not to mention how to spel or even how to from natural sentences... anyone else feel like this...........?

[kurandoinu]

Lol. As if you made a whole topic for this. But yes, I really don't understand why people feel the need to spam the full stop at us. It should be 3 max, and that's only when you need an ellipsis.

That's easy: don't hit the "." key on your keyboard that often, and use "," more often.

not to mention how to spel or even how to from natural sentences... anyone else feel like this...........?

Now this is the tricky part. My advice would be: don't learn English from Internet forums/blogs/mails or from Instant Messaging or IRC.

[Meomix]

But....... its..... So.... cool...... japanese.. even.. has... two.. modes... of.. it.

I have to learn the opposite. I tend to make half page/page long sentences. That is in my writing not on forums. Teachers and so on tell me that it is kind of hard to follow the full sentence. I wonder why? It is clear as day, one just need to remember the beginning and the parts of it that explains the beginning and some that explain explanation and given examples to make it all even more clear and then just put it all together. I do not see it as my fault that they can not follow course of idea untangling during the sentence. I have a problem of putting "." in the middle of idea, I just keep on going till the idea is explained and then I put "." 
I was forced to use other people that would read what I have written and put "." instead of "," ":" and ";"  :'(

Screw her, dude.

It all disappeared in that moment. She ran away.

An elegant demonstration.

[Soulreaper77]

I tend to use too much ","'s in my sentences xD Also I use the word "also" too much (see beginning of this sentence) or too much of side-explanations in "( )"
In real life I put too much space between the words and too unevenly distributed. People  tend  to    find  that really  annoying.   

[JoonasTo]

Nice one.
Tell me, when did philosophers need to know how to write?
Speaking a few wise words. Then pausing...makes a better impression...


Since it's KoC I just have to post this here. A classic in finnish.

Armoa ei, Siperiaan.
Armoa, ei Siperiaan.

Mercy no, to Syberia.
Mercy, no to Syberia.

[Meomix]

Mercy no, to Syberia.
Mercy, no to Syberia.

+1 If i recall correctly someone avoided death because of that.

I've always been fond of "Eats, shoots, and leaves.".

I generally write like I speak, complete with "uhm"s and whatnot.  Taking a technical writing course really helped me edit my work better, but that's effort I only expend for important things.

philosophy is based on writings and second thing after thinking philosophers need to know is how to write

there is no real philosophy without writing and no non written philosophy can take place without written word...

[tomoya-kun]

I naturally write long sentences, for some reason or another.  I also love using ";", it has many usages and helps break up long text.   

[Pentium100]

When explaining something I tend to write long sentences and multiple layers of parentheses (like this (I mean this)).

[fohfoh]

Now... I guess I'm inclined to make a response.

As for the .... stuff, I think people actually perceive it as a breath?

Case study: Malcolm in the middle. (Just think this way, ok?)

Now... I... think... that... you are.... so... fucking... gay.... asshole...

But... K... O... C... equals.... <3...

I do this too, but lately, I've been experimenting with the use of italics... On a computer anyways. I toy with cursive script when writing by hand.

Actually it's mostly due to the fact that language is the only way to communicate your thoughts to the world outside your head. Therefore one needs to be sufficiently proficient in the usage of language to be able to formulate ones mad schemes into understandable form.

And that's why philosphers need to know how to write just like carpenters need to know how to wield a hammer. Tools of the trade.



And you're damn right I am the love, Ale. You asthmatic old git.

[fohfoh]

Indeed Koc, indeed.

God damn it's hard to read Kierkgaard...

Hmm, interesting... think my friend is exactly like you. I don't mind long sentences (too much "," and brackets), since I do that myself as well. But the uneven spacing between words is annoying as hell, really, cause when you copy-paste each others work together it becomes hell to fix layout, fonts, aligns, formats, and stuff. Sometimes I wonder how difficult it is, to just hit the space-bar only once between different words.

Conclusion, just write the way you like as long as you keep layout, aligns, formatting, and stuff consistent XD

PS. also highly annoying is the formatting for pictures in reports. If you got reports of 50+ pages, the last thing you want to do is fixing layout and reference issues with pictures/graphs/tables. People who tend to mess up with the space-bar, also tend to mess up with this.

Socrates didn't seem to need to know how to write.
