ravip Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Well... I did not read all the posts on this thread, up to now. But, as you see, the sad and confused have NOT disappointed you. Although they are sad & confused, they are loyal in their own way. Encourage them, eventually they might lose their sadness & confusion... Anonymity sure did enhance their confusion & sadness to come up to the surface in abundance! The grammar police too have their own agenda - on an anonymous public forum, let them all vent out their frustrations and hope for the best 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nauseus Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 On 1/23/2024 at 10:53 AM, mfd101 said: The problem with the 2 emojis is that it's usually unclear what they mean in any particular case: Does it mean he/she is confused/sad at the content of my message? or at the fact that I said it? Or is it a generalized feeling of sadness & resignation at the state of the world? It would be much more useful to everyone if the 2 emojis were replaced with signs for "I don't agree' & 'I can't understand a word of what you just said'. or just bored....

Hmm, is it “nitpicking” or attempting to understand a poster when they confuse the attempt at communication without using the correct spelling or grammar? Just raising the question.

These members that bombard posts with their stupid emoji's wouldn't stop, they are very strange people. Edited January 24 by SAFETY FIRST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to be able to send just an emoji whether too busy or too lazy to write a reply. I would prefer that the identity of the emoji sender is revealed as it used to be but "the powers that be" have deemed it so. I'm in favour of full emoji use and transparency of who uses which ever emoji. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just raising the question. Asking someone for clarification is not nitpicking. Correcting someone that says your instead of you're, or there instead of their or some other mistake when it's (its?) clear what they meant is nitpicking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped reading hippopotamus, Nasty beasts. Interesting sidebar. Hipo means horse in Greek , and Potamus means river, so River horse. I think they were sold to them as such by the Roma horse traders , when they tried to charge the romand it was carnage . Hens the enduring "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia " phobia . even now more than 2,000 years later Greeks will go nowhere Hippipotamuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
