[QUOTE=Queer]To point to a nations' illiteracy level, along with repeating a prevalent notion about that very nation (as in "a 'lazy' mindset"), is not a personal attack. I hope that you, super66, can see the difference between this and the libelous personal attack by "cartagena".
To get back to my poll -- it's interesting to see that almost 75% of the voting forum members are in fact annoyed with the English level used on this forum. So maybe the mindset, at least on this forum, isn't all that "lazy" after all ;^) /QUOTE]
Repeating the untrue "notion" as a truth, while spouting numbers that have no basis in reality (120 million illiterate Americans) is the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place.
You equate people being irritated with internet shorthand with the erroneous personal belief that somehow Americans are illiterate. That's your own problem.
You come to the US, and harbor yourself in the academic world. It's evidently better here, or you would be back in your own country. Then you sit behind your keyboard and slam your host country. You may be able to read, but you have no manners. That's your mama's fault.
Or maybe that's a failing of the country you grew up in. Are you all jerks? I doubt it, I think it's just you.
Cartagena, what a great poll you posted a couple of items back. Funny stuff. I vote #2. I showed my wife, she laughed out loud, and said "#1, no doubt".
Buh-Bye.
