that is still the same way as before, my own perfectly understandable partois, if you want i can start talking in the verbal partois me and some of my friends use, then you really would be lost in our sentances.

Partois?
Did you mean Patois? The Creole/New Orleans language?
ZING!!!

See...if you don't use correct spelling...no one understands you

Ok. You are currently using the most powerful tool on the planet for finding out information. If you don't know how to spell a word correctly, all you have to do is take the 20 seconds to look it up! You can't be in that much of a hurry, because you are spending your "valuable" time on Talkbass.com. Heck, you might even remember it for next time and not have to look it up! I can't believe someone would spell something phonetically!!! :rolleyes:

Same goes for about half of the questions here on TB. Most of the time, things can just be looked up on the manufacturers website. Such as: Neck widths, color options, weights (all bass related stuff)

Information is right at your fingertips. You don't need to be lazy...the web is about as lazy as you can get! Anyone remember have to GO TO A LIBRARY to find things out?!?!

apart from the contradictions you made to yourself there; as i've made clear i'm trying to take a break from revision using talkbass, and as soon as revision is done, i will be out, very anebriated surrounded by a large number of equally anebriated friends celebrating the fact that we never have to return to our college. and with regards to the evolution of the english language the most likely next big step will be the increase in use of phonetic spelling, sorry but that's what is being said.

Wow - did you and your friends get kicked out of college? Because if you graduated college not being able to spell words like inebriated (or "all" for that matter), you should demand your money back....

Namraj, here's the bottom line. What you're failing to see is that if you want to command the respect that you feel you deserve, then you need to dress the part. Whether you like it or not, you can complain about conformity and the stupid rules when you don't get the job because you didn't wear a tie. You can complain about conformity and the stupid rules when you don't get service because you don't address people with the proper etiquette, or you can complain about how we should all respect your right to type and present your ideas anyway you want. You're right, guess what, you can talk like that all you want. Go nuts, but you will get the same response, or lack of a response every time. The bottom line is that kind of language does NOT command respect, and does NOT present your ideas and your opinion very well.

It's like walking up to a waitress and saying "Yo bitch, go get me a beer." She might get you a beer, but her interpretation of it might be to pour it on your head. You got your beer. Are you happy? No one cares about whether or not you meant any disrespect by it or not. No one has the time to listen to some kid whine about how we should all be equal and we should all respect each other's right to talk the way we want. The flip side of it, that you can talk the way you want, and we can respond the way you want. The only thing you can change is your OWN actions. If you're not willing to change that, then quit your whining when others aren't willing to accommodate you.

so my problem is that i expect people not to be prejudice?
yeah that sounds right
and there is no way in hell, would ever address someone i don't know yo bitch, and my patois is merely casual not offensive. which is more than I can say for some of the things that you have said.

Either use punctuation or don't use punctuation, but don't invent new uses for it. Why the hell did you put a semi-colon in there? Also, a tip, if you don't know how to spell it, and you are too lazy to spell check it, don't use it. You could have said drunk instead of inebriated. However, you sir are inevitably cursed with the idea that you are smarter than you really are and like to use words beyond your range, and therefore present some very comical interpretations of words. All of which detracts from what you're trying to say, or the idea that you're trying to get across. I still don't know what you're trying to say from the mess that I quoted here.

So is anebriation like inebriation, but with wacky tabacky?... To be honest, that would explain a lot... :D

your actually right i like to try and use interesting words, not because i think i'm intellegent but because i like to be creative with what i say and i find interesting words add to the beauty of a sentance, partic if theyre not used correctly, not only do i learn and improve my vocab (which btw this thread has already helped with), it makes things more interesting and entertaining, and rarely am i misunderstood.

see i'd have said it was you who just shot yourself in the foot, do you not think you have the right to use the same partois as black people and not be frowned upon because of it, would you frown upon a black person using a typicly white partois such as old school posh style "damn and blast". identity is not only about being part of a group but being an indervidual with in that group, I am part of the comunity of bass players, what connects me to you guys is my love and ability on my choosen instrument, what makes me indervidual is my love for obscure electro and latin music as well as my own partois that has evolved from my frequent keyboard use which however gets frequently attacked by people who think they are better than me because they speak good english.

but dw i don't form bad opinions of people, only indifference and good opinions.

I think you might have had some sort of point in there, but I simply can't understand what you're trying to say.

Also, what's a "partois"?

I find your complete lack of regard for the written word offensive. You fling poo. I fling poo. I'm a monkey. That's the way I work. Again, this is all a matter of opinion and interpretation. By the way, it's not prejudice if someone doesn't want to take the time to understand you. That's offensive to what really is prejudice. Don't belittle all those who have suffered the injustices of prejudice with your little "cause" here. If you don't want to be offended don't fart on the elevator.
