The NC-Double-Eh Schedule - Nov. 26

Maybe I’ve simply missed it on here, but I’d love to here what’s going on with the boys from Texas. I haven’t caught any games, yet, but from the stats it appears Cory Joseph is struggling (although Tristan THompson seems to be doing well). I’d love to hear what the problem is with him. I had high hopes for him.

I discussed my problem with players talking as if they’ve had very little education, when in fact they have. I never brought the subject up, but simply added to the discussion. I don’t expect them (or anyone else) to be perfect, but there’s a vast area between they way some of them speak and perfect grammar.

As for my statement, I fail to see how it was redundant or what the difference was between what I said and what you said (other than changing the `I’ to a `you’). Besides, I’m not playing the role of the grammar police constantly criticizing people’s mistakes. I gave my opinion in a discussion and I stand by that opinion. As I said, I don’t expect people to speak with perfect grammar all the time, especially not on the internet where you’re not exactly being graded and often typing quickly. I do have a problem with a person who has, at least some, post secondary education talking as if they are a high school dropout, especially when they are a public figure. If you have a problem with that opinion, I suggest you attack the opinion, not the person giving it.

Other than simply attempting to attack me for a reason unknown to me, I fail to see the point of your comment. Especially considering your criticism doesn’t even make sense. At least to me.

By the way, I also held the shift key down for one extra letter when I was typing`Thompson’. Did you want to comment about that, too?

I really have no idea what you are talking about. As far as I know, I wrote “hear” (that’s what is in my comment and what is in your quote) not “here”. And I did so because it `sounds’ better than `read’. It’s a literary device and not a grammatical error.

And as I said, I don’t constantly bash people for their grammar. That would be disingenuous of me as well as rude. Again, I gave my opinion on a subject that was already being discussed. I even mentioned the fact that some of the guys speak that way because that’s the environment they grew up in, so obviously I’m sympathetic to this fact. It still doesn’t forgive the fact that many professional athletes speak like they’ve never been in a classroom. And it doesn’t forgive the fact that many actually look down on people who do speak properly.

I still don’t understand why you still seem to hold so much venom towards me that you would choose to insult me in an unrelated thread more than a week after the discussion. I obviously offended you, which I apologize for, but you really need to take things a little more in stride if you are going to be reading things on the internet. I never personally insulted anyone, especially you.

If you have a difference of opinion with me, that’s fine. Try and give your opinion with a modicum of maturity rather than trying to insult and criticize like I pushed you down in the sandbox. And if you have anything to say about the actual subject of the thread, it would be nice to hear (read) about it, since that’s what this comment section is for.
