Loser

Am I gonna get banned then if I dont spell this correctly?

 

 Yes.

 I really can't believe how many people get this wrong. It's an epidemic nowadays.

 

Yep its fucking terrible.

I've even seen "professionals" put it in emails.

'We can't afford to loose your business'

Come on people.

I thought Leezee was a girl.

Look im sorry that I cant get it right... but in all fairness I think I should have kudos for being able to spell at all considering I didn't get the same opportunities as other kids to do school.

i seriously can't believe people actually get upset over it

It has been explained a couple of times now... when we created the new rules we ended up with 13 which we thought was a tad unlucky. One of the mods decided to rectify this by adding the lose/loose rule as a bit of a joke since people sometimes take things on here a bit too seriously. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. A bored mod might edit your post but I doubt that anyone will ever get banned because of it.

Great. Does that mean I'm now exempt. Totally. 

*Pokes tounge out at Leezee.

 

dont worry we have all fallen for that one...


yes you will be banned, i think its getting off lightly

You & everyone else! The dude stays home & cleans on Friday nights... He also wears makeup... I've seen photos... 

Shouldn't this be merged with the grammar thread?

i heard he was seen cooking steaks on the 14th even 

Well if it wasnt such a lame joke then people would actually get the joke and you wouldnt have to keep explaining it then would ya

 

man im a bitch lately 

Grammar and the issue at hand are only loosely attached so no, and this is so important to some people that it needs to be kept separate.

    And coming from a mod too.

fixed.

    

i thought he wrote it like that on purpose!  just to be cunty!

  He's lucky I was out!

You snooze you loose 

Now why would I want to do that?

Seriously though, the way khem has explained it is perfect. I don't see how we can make it any clearer. It's a bit of a joke to prove that we haven't all lost our sense of humour.


Yes I was, I'd hate to get banned!

ohhhh, thats why! so the mods rules come across as funny!

Put it this way: I think there is only 1 mod (out of 6 mods and khem the super god-mod and me the admin) who genuinely gives a shit about this loose/lose stuff.

So yes, it's funny.

No it's not.

Are you such a grumpy bastard in real life? 

 

Nah. The whole thing is an ongoing joke. I honestly can't believe a thread has been created about it!

Awesome!


Anyway, back to my grumpy self...

Well I like new threads. What time is it there? You're the last one standing ... its 5.30pm here. Only an hour and a half before I finish work......... dull as fuck.

3:30am. 

Damn. didn't even do the show tonight, but still up! I hate my sleep patterns.

ATM take a guess which mod has such a serious issue with the whole loser/looser thing?

You've all loost me on this one guys.

I don't understand how people can spell it 'Looser' .. thats just retarded in my opinion.

Suspicious imo

if they were spelt phonetically, loos/looz, then it would be unacceptable.

 It is year 3 spelling after all.

 You should see how many people do it on the Adelaide Now comments sections to Advertiser stories!

 The irony is they are usually calling someone else a 'looser'.

 

This thread is like the spelling 'Bold and the Beautiful'.

So dramatic LOL

It's "The Bold and the Beautiful" 

for all you spastics that can't spell it i have developed a strategy for you. when spelling lose lose an 'o', simple.

And a question for the spastics who spell lose "loose"... how do you spell loose? 

Hahahaha

Lose and definitely. People can never spell them.

I love you all anyway.

lose, obviously

When spelling lose, lose an 'o",
then in my good books you will go.
When spelling loose just think of 'goose',
And I will do you up the caboose!


AND also, I just tried to find a better word that rhymes with loose and this is what I got:

image not archived: losewu4.jpg

EVEN FUCKING GOOGLE HAS TO INCLUDE THE WORD LOSE IN A SEARCH FOR LOOSE BECAUSE OF YOU TARDS!!!


 

 
 
 Got your back Leezee I fucking hate it. Seems to have crept in over the past 12 months as well. Grade 3 spelling people!

 Once this scourge is over we can fight the you're/your battle.
 

Don't forget Their/There/They're; That is equally fucking annoying.

I'm backing you guys up on this scourge as you put it  

Enough is enough!

Where the hell did it come from anyway that so many people do it??

It is the wrongest!!!!!!!


Extra letters have never made sense to me as spelling mistakes.

AND NOT STARTING MUTHA FUCKING SENTENCES WITH CAPITALS!!!!!!!!!

Hmm good luck with that one. 

guilty.

Oh, and people who insist on spelling Glenelg backwards all the time piss me off as well!

Yeah was just about to post that! (they're etc)



AND this one has been making a few appearances:

I seen this movie last night / I seen Rumble out last night and he was smashed / I seen that on TV...

Saw people! SAW! You saw Rumble out last night and he was smashed. Saw.

I sore Rumble out last night as well.

 Yeah the seen/saw thing is annoying, I am guilty of it sometimes, though I am making a conscious effort to stop.

 A lot of people say it (me too). Makes you sound like a bogan.

 On another note I am checking all my posts in this thread about 5 times for grammar/spelling. Fucking sweating.

It makes it annoying when you spot other people's mistakes. Especially when you spend hours hovering over a post you've just written, trying to spot any grammatical errors that may have occured, so fearful you are of being shamed by Leezee or Noddy.


Ha ha. Indeed.

I forgot about that. I hate that with an insuperable passion. It's akin to people who say "youse guys" or "them people" in conversation.

The trick is to have no fear

Je ne regrette rien bitches

 For someone who is double posting and misspelling words willy nilly you are pretty quick to throw the BAN word out there

I love double posting, every now and again i even love to throw a triple post in too just to really cause a lil bit of chaos

Ive even got the warnings to prove it

 


oh no! youse lot are referring to me!

 

what about this one -
on the weekend.
at the weekend.
?

It's bad language picked up from exposure to a lot of people using it. I used to live in Gawler and I think I was the only one who didn't speak like that, only because my parents picked me up on it constantly.

Use some upper case letters there fuckbag and I may consider answering your question.

An English teacher brought this up with me during the weekend, hoping I would have the answer. She seemed to believe both were useable, and possibly even 'in the weekend'. I don't believe anything is actually technically wrong with either. Although 'in the weekend' sounds horrible as far as I'm concerned.

Also, Noddy has a point. Capitals!

i don't do capitals. i used to type names and the like in capitals until noddy and chris came down on me like a tonne of bricks. example - "i'm going to see Bukem this thursday." both the lads stated either consistently use them or don't use them at all, i chose not to and am still getting grief about it. meh.

I think with times (like days or weekends) "on" is more appropriate. I'm not saying using "at" is wrong but "at" is just better for physical locations.

For example, "at the beach" or "at a park" seems better than "on" in both those two examples. But "on Wednesday" or "on the weekend" is better.

'What did you get up to over the weekend' maybe?

*Doesn't work for a singular day though. I think you're onto something Oli.

Well I'm certainly not at to something!

On the weekend and at the weekend are both right as far as I know..

What about when someone says "Where are you going to tonight?"

Incorrect due to tautology.

U should use... "Where are you going, tonight?"

I am fully aware of the words which I should use, and in which manner, correctly. Just can't be arsed!!

Don't know about that comma, unless you're asking a person named 'tonight' where they are going.

Nuh uh. Its a good sentence. But even better, it would be to say " Where are you going then, tonight?"

hmmm doubt that, it doesn't sound right to me. lose the tonight at the end and we can talk.

whatever! it sounds good to me.

good to see you don't use capitals 

yeah fuck that, i am writing a thesis ffs!! sif i want to fuss about capitals in my downtime consistency is the key

It is not a logical sentence, lose the comma.

Where are you going tonight? Simple, no needless inclusions.

I'm with Pseudo Coup

"Where are you going to tonight?" - Doesn't even sound right, why would you say it like that? On the other hand "Where are you going tonight" or "Where are you off to tonight" would work.

"Where are you going then, tonight?" - Equally as daft.

Come on ladies you've got more brains than that.


I would tend to agree however, do you say "On 12.30 I am going to lunch"?

Maybe the exception to the rule?


That said "At the weekend I went fishing" just doesn't sit right.

  I stillthink my sentence is a good one. Mayhaps I have been pondering too many Dickensian tv adaptations? Perchance, it is so

 

I love the fact that you have even thrown a "sif" instead of "as if" in there.

classic!

I am going to throw that one in one day fo' sure 

i also hate it with a passion when people use much longer words, like insuperable, when shorter, more widely used words will suffice. its like jargon, its serves little purpose and is done for dubious reasons.



 



capitals shmapitals. its the internets. capitals for the real world thanks.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to bring this up.

Its because you dont understand it really, come on own up 

Is that an Aussie thing; or a South Aussie thing?

Could be the next 'heaps good'?

  It is my own personal stand against the degeneration of language in the modern day. Either that or I'm a pretentious wanker.

I promise not to use so much turgid, polysyllabic prose for you Jayar. 

cheers and i think ill go with option 2 eddie.

my partner used to do editing work, so her lack of tolerance toward flowery language has worn off on me somewhat.

I hope she was editing journalism and not literature then.

yes, journalism-type stuff.
AM aint high literature

I never claimed that. It isn't journalism either. I write here in a similar manner to how I talk; My serious writing is far more purple.


[mod]Made your writing more purple[/mod]

leezee ftw!

  nice upgrade

I agree with Jayar. I like to to use the KISS method for random banter on a message board.

Another good tip I have learnt in the art of communication is to talk to people at their level.....
Its not hard to see I'm no genius. Talk to me at my level!  

ahahahahaha  


Pseudo- wat do you do for a living? Are you a writer?

Go leezee 

thats what i like to see- a bit of cheek in a mod 

  Nice upgrade Leezee.

I wish I could live off writing Erika. I do write, but nothing anywhere near complete enough to hand to a publisher; Plus I'm only 24, it would be wanky of me to believe I am ready to impart my bullshit upon a mass audience. The closest thing I have had to work as a writer is free CD's from DB, and you have to write those articles like a journalist anyway.

I eat partially off poker winnings and partially off an incredibly boring data entry job I do for 2 days a week.

I will make sure never to use the word insuperable around a message board again.

Holy shit.

Dude, you seem pretty intelligent. Have you studied at uni? I am suprised you are doing data entry

You seriously should look into going into an area which allows you to write. You could even get into speech writing, political advising or even policy work. There is alot of research and writing in policy work. Good money in it too. You seem pretty good with that stuff! Just need to have research skills and good written skills. I struggle with writing ministerials and approvals for my job, I always have but companies are always looking for people who can write well.

At my work we have just employed a new person who is a professional writer. She is re-writing all the new policies and procedures which will come out of the new Crown Lands Management Bill. She would be getting paid loads.

Dont do data entry forever!

but it needs to be understood by a reaonable proportion of the general plebs of society. and lets face it, we're talking 2 steps evolved from pond slime and left the water.

unless its a PHD on the evolution of languages within the specific area of high lit (for example), no one wants it.
edit: damn sticky-key keyboard at work! its regularly causing me to drop letters or spaces, and like stryke said below, im sweating posting anywhere near leezee's trigger happy modding.

it's ok, liam will be at work now, you're safe for another 2 or so hours!

I started out writing a substantial post in response to your comment but now I have decided I am not going to bother

pff

Thanks for the compliment. I assure you I have no plans to do data entry forever. I will be doing Uni next year; I would have done uni this year, but a few unexpected issues came up in my life at the end of last year. Being the ubernerd i am I would like to be doing about 8 things at uni next year, but I am looking at double degree of Economics and History. Being that I am interested in the social theory side of economics most, both should require a fair writing load.

Welcome to the insipid boring life of Tobi.

How did you get through The End of Faith, or The God Delusion with your sesquipedaliophobia (fear of big words ) by the way. Dawkins especially loves his flowery prose.

Back! 


It's ok, I've still only ever done Looser/Loser. Oh, and the purple thing.

I don't think "heaps good" is anywhere near as wrong as "seen".


Pseudo Coup couldn't do speech writing for politicians. They need to use words that people understand but still not actually say anything. Pseudo Coup does the opposite. He uses words that most don't understand and he is actually saying something.

I agree.... "heaps" is an alternate word and alternate words add variety to life, but "I seen" is the wrong tense and only adds stupidity to life!   

How is it the wrong tense? It happened in the past did it not? 

Ok you're right.... correct tense, incorrect grammar 

WooOoW  dont get tense

things are "HEAPS GOOD" man, wtf?

You'se is inna di blood clot corformist gramma styleee... here are strange tings ina di world but mi a nada gonna care, ya seen, bout dis correct gramma nonsense, language is finna be mixed loco's 

  put ya lighters up for the grammatically challenged

BAN!

Ok... does anyone want to help Mr.Thirdeye invest in SOME FULL STOPS !!!

His multi paragraphed posts are all in one sentence! 

But you know he has been posting like that for what 4 years??? 

perhaps a double degree of ec/arts @ adelaide - though flinders would have the best sociological streams available for study...

 

Yes

However I felt inclined to say something, as I kinda feel bad about how I always skip reading his posts due to his poor grammar

I feel guilty doing it. Like I am cheating him of his time 

I am sure it takes him ages to write what he does

I don't think he'd mind if we don't read them because I think he's writing for himself rather than others... if he wanted us to read them he would put more time into making them readable 

ohnoes

 

GOLD!!!

Which Mod did it

 

It was soooo Oli.  Was a little worried when i first saw the AFP logo pop up. 

As if I'd do such a thing. I'm the most sensible moderator on the whole team! 



To be completely honest, I'm the only person who can put notices like that on the site.

Would you ignore someone in real life if they couldn't speak English properly?

Depends on the situation I reckon, but if they were trying to discuss the types of things that are discussed by mr. third eye with as much excitement as he seems to then yes. I probably would ignore them simply because it'd give me a headache to try and understand them.

Erika if it makes you feel any better I do the same thing pretty often and feel a bit guilty about it as well because when I actually do try and read his posts I can tell he is passionate about what is being discussed even if he can't write in a sensible format.

Oh and Oli, if you wanna be correct with your grammer, it should read:

Notice:

drug related discussion, excessive bad grammar and misuse of the word loser etc



I believe, when using the word and, it shouldn't be used and and and, it should be comma eg

apples, pears, bananas and oranges.  

It's meant to look like it comes from the AFP. I am sure most people there make grammatical errors as well.



That's my excuse anyway.

By the way, keep my "grammer" out of this. We're talking about grammar.

No, never. But I find it difficult to read his posts so i actually find myself skimming past them.... when i know he is actually writing something worthwhile. Therefore I feel guilty about it 

Ahh 
Its 7.51am and im just waking up. I think I read your post wrong and missed that bit.
It changes how I thought a minute ago..

I just think my bad writing is lazyness and bad habits. Thats my excuse anyway. I certainly don't think less of anyone for thier sprawlings.

One of my friends Allan is dsylexic. He Djs on ASR and all. Anyway, whenever a new person comes into the chat room, people think he is drunk or stupid. He is partially deaf in one ear too, so when he talks he slurs slightly - so he cant understand words as well, and to top that off, he has learning difficulties. He gets extremly fustrated at all this, and gets quite depressed because more than anything, people struggle to understand him.

A lot of people ignore him, one Dj left ASR calling him a spastic, infact a lot of people associate ASR with spastics because I don't look down on people and more try and help. If I did throw him a side like everyone else had, I wouldn't of found such a good friend. Yes he is a little slow, and you laugh when he can't open the car with the electric key, but if you were ever stuck out with no where to go, he would be there for you. If you were skint, he would give you his last bit of pocket change and he will do anything for you.

So I kind of take a different view over the words grammar and loser as one of my best friends cant even spell those words at all. Double spaces, no capital letters. Full stop would be a mission.

Its almost like trying to decypher what he is saying, its extremely difficult sometimes  But I like a challenge.

But more than anything I love him to death.

um.. er.. sorry to ask, but what is ASR? 

Just the internet radio station we run. We do ASR nights in the UK too. Have done for about 5 years odd. 

What did I miss here? 

A hilarious banner 

I cant believe its been taken down. I was expecting at least 24 hours

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day

In some countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, the April 1 tradition requires jokes to be played before midday: if somebody pulls an April Fools' Trick after midday, then the person pulling the trick is actually considered the fool.

I think it was taken down around lunchtime UK time...

My April Fools joke.


Well it's no longer April 1st here...

Shit I can't keep people in every damn time zone happy. You should all be in Adelaide!!! This is 'Adelaide Massive' not 'All Over The Place Massive'!!!

That rule is bullshit. Who ever heard of getting out of bed before midday?

I can leave if you dont want all over the place massive reppin on your board 

Haha

Maybe if anyone took a screenshot it could be posted up for posterity?

I concur.

Poll added!!

image not archived: grammar-nazi2-tm.jpg

I care!!!!

That really should be enough to make the rest of you pathetic sheep tow the line!

meh

 

Bahhhh-ram-yu!

Whoever voted option C should be glad that even I can't see who voted for what otherwise they'd probably get banned right about now.

Maybe they have poor eyesight and actually thought the first 3 options were actually me?

If so, they voted correctly.

Suspicious IMO.

I've decided that I will make it my duty for today to keep a close watch on the lower case defending scum of these forums, and if any of them even think of using ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + { } : " < > ? in their posts, they will be labelled hypocrites and reported to mods for extremely poor forumanship!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ woohoo... that means I can tilde all I want without fear of retribution ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I heart ~

I deserved that.

Dang.

whilst you sit back and make up words!! 

If Howard was allowed to make up "mateship" then Noddy is allowed to make up "forumanship".

Glad somebody noticed.

I think I've made up a rather good word to be honest.

and i'm allowed to not use capitals.

(and sal too) 

   Do your worst, ill take it to the top 

Honestly tho if people could vote for Cale in the funny posters thread then i think im allowed...

  @ forumanship

far out

does the lack of answer mean anything in particular Oli?

I'm fairly certain he doesn't want you to sod off 

Thats cool because im getting most amount of shit on the scottish dnb forum right now 

I need this safe haven !!

 a scottish d&b forum

 

I don't really want anyone to leave to be honest. I think this community is cool.

The best forum on the internet imo... you guys are polite, reasonable, accepting and yet still know how to have a good laugh.

Yeh its scottish dnb, and I went off on one a little bit.. lol 

lol even my housemate said I should sack off all the other forums because they wind me up so much. 

I'm guessing that nobody is spelled wrong in the poll on purpose? Where's the fucking spelling Nazi?!?

Give us the link! We should all bombard it!

haha A scottish board fulla aussies

Aussie invasion!

Though, they seem to be revelling in the fact ive brought loads of people to thier board just out of that discussion.

And this is me getting trolled

http://www.scottishdrumandbass.com/viewtopic.php?t=24887&start=25



and this is sdnb saying how the "banter" is improving thier site

and this was me pointing out greenpeace issues and people not really giving a fuck

http://www.scottishdrumandbass.com/viewtopic.php?t=24972

 Nah I changed it so it was like Noddy 

I did actually click it because it looked like Noddy 

Why would Saburuko even bother posting there, is that really him?

I think thats a scottish person not someone from AM 

No one on this board is anything like that bunch of snobby fuckers.

Nah Saburuko is part of Horizons Music.

He's made 4 vinyls now, 3 being on Horizons.

I pulled one of my superiors up on this one Today (technically Yesterday) at work
very satisfying

0 tolerance policy on this error TBH

The Bans IMO

board raid call = ban?

its not in the rules, but if it did actually come to a board raid there might be some people getting suspended.

Tacit approval of the board raid IMO

 

What? Overweight, bald, with an unnatural attraction for small children?

[edit]drug ref[/edit]

Fucking LOL @ noddy saying he has an unnatural attraction for small children yet getting modded for a drug reference 

This site is awesome!

 

I never looked at it that way!

I you AM.

Zing! Too clever for this old duck. But, yeah, good one! 

Board raid! ***sirens blaring***

lets do it! 

Everyone knows scotts are a bunch of twots


WTF I really dont get it, how could you suspend us if we to all logged into sdnb and drill em?

I dont get it

Oh well, its safe to say I havent ever played any of his music, never heard of him until that thread, and only because he blatantly posted a link to his music!! and im not going to start playing it now
Infact, I can safely say, I will stay away from his music forever.


The only thing that they all seem to miss on there, is that ive grown up with free parties. Most of the people who live on sites, travel the country and the world... they dont work, they claim the dole and they sell drugs at parties to make more money.

These are some of the most liberal, kind, loving people ive ever met.

my housemate & best friend is scottish and he is amazing... (looks cute in a kilt too) 
I wouldnt even suggest a board raid, they seem to revel in the fact its making thier board the busiest its been this year
(oo 30 people online)

 

How the hell do they travel the world and live on the dole! thats the life for me!

lol i'll pm you.. 


that sambruco or whatever his name is, seems a right chump

http://www.scottishdrumandbass.com/viewtopic.php?p=260642#260642

other boards have similar rules, mainly because if a big group of people from forum a go and attack forum b, forum b will retaliate by attacking forum a. if you go and start a board raid and there is retaliation, it will probably mean that myself or the other mods will have to clean up the mess... something i am sure none of the mods want to do.

Its a shit board anyway and half the people on there are alia's by the looks of things. Dj Kid gets cussed soo much, and he does so much for the dnb scene, his heart really is in it.. and they all give him a hard time constantly.
