Educational Discount Qualifications

[adamjaskie]

Is your little brother in school? He may qualify for an educational discount himself. If he does not, he probably will in a couple of years, right? I had my mother pay for my iBook on her debit card, since at the time I did not have one myself. I guess technically we shouldn't have done that, but I felt that since the iBook was for me, and since it was my money paying for it (I gave her cash in advance), the educational discount should apply. Of course, she is a teacher, so she is entitled to a discount as well.

There is a difference between wording your posts like an essay, and making a reasonable effort to not horribly mangle the English language. I am not asking you to carefully proofread your posts and catch every single little grammatical error, just to be a little more careful. While it may take a few seconds longer to type, a post with complete sentences, complete words, and proper capitalization is a lot easier to read than a sentence with "words" like "ur". Does it really save you that much time to drop three or four letters per sentence?

I chat on AIM and IRC quite often, and I almost always use complete sentences, unless I am typing out a one or two word reply to a simple question.

Sorry, Professor Adamjaskie for providing you any inconvenience. I guess you just don't talk to people online through instant messaging, because everyone talks like that on AIM or whatever other messenger service. I read what I wrote twice after I saw your post and I read it like a champ with no mistakes. I didn't know I was going to be criticized for the way I write in a forum. You are the first to talk about the way I write, and I have been using MacRumors since January. I even indented this paragraph for you, professor.

p.s., im never writing a message in that kind of long writiing again.

First, this isnt an instant messaging program and the forum asks you not to write like an idiot anyway. Also, OF COURSE YOU read perfectly what YOU wrote, they are your own ideas!

PS. You said you have been using Mac Rumors since Jan. and no one has said anything, this would imply you have been writing since then. You have 27 posts at .32 per day, and that does not put you in January.
