I have also never been overweight, actually I'm far from itNaturally. But the metabolic rate does play a major part in it. I have
never
been overweight in my life. By overweight, I have never had a higher than
the accepted levels in the Body Mass Index scores, making me the perfect
weight for my height.
--When I was at school I always complained about homework. School for was
working at, and I did, but home was my leisure time and I objected to
being given more work to do at home. I used every trick in the book to
avoid bringing work home. It was the only thing I regularly got into
trouble for.
I was told I'd think differently when I grew up. I don't know how old
you have to be to be grown up, but forty years on I still think it's
wrong.
Work time and leisure time should be clearly defined. While you're at
school, you work. No argument there. While you're at home you should
be able to forget about school. If you can't learn everything you're
supposed to at school, then extend school hours.
Please! Tell that to our teachers! *beg*
That's not my problem. At school we do things that I know to about 99%, inWork time and leisure time should be clearly defined. While you're at
school, you work. No argument there. While you're at home you should
be able to forget about school. If you can't learn everything you're
supposed to at school, then extend school hours.
From my experience, while you're at school you listen to someone talk for
a
few hours while saying about 5 minutes worth of useful information, or you
sleep. Then at home you learn the material on your own in much less time.

Thats a valid point you have made there Bill. We all have to read lowercaseKmarcks" wrote:

We can still understand you, but it takes more effort on our part.
Also, it doesn't look professional. Because it takes more effort, we're
less likely to read your message thoroughly. If you want to be taken
seriously, you need to put the effort in. You want to be lazy by
shortening, expecting us to do the work decoding.

That's nonsense. There's nothing wrong in speaking with an accent of
any sort, provided your speech is, like your writing, clear and
reasonably correct grammatically. Regional accents are one of the joys
of the English language, and should be cherished.
As I pointed out the other week. Some foreigners speak better English thanThis standard that you are trying to impose on this group may well have

Nobody is trying to impose any "standards". All some of us are trying
to point out is that if you want to be taken seriously, it is in your
own interests to post in correct English as far as you can. If those
for whom English is a foreign language can manage it, then why can't the
rest of us.
Agreed.It could stop other lurkers from joining in, and that would be a pity.
I agree to an extent, but there again if you post a badly written, badly
spelt, badly punctuated post, it doesn't do anything to impress you to
your intended audience.

EddieThankyou for your time.
Your more than welcome. And if the message I've just spent ten minutes
replying to is typical of your level of posting, you've nothing to worry
or apologise for! I only spend this amount of time replying to messages
that are worth spending the time on.

I am made very aware of that sometimes.Accents are excellent. Although it is difficult to believe, every country
has an accent.
You don't have to. I just find it easier to read.why do ppl hafta post in caps and queens english to be taken seriously by
you,
I'm not turning nasty. At least I hope I'm not. I'm not trying toas eddie said, this is turning nasty,
I'm not trying to force anybody to do anything. I know better thanand ppl don't care anymore, most
of usenet use expressions like "u" why should ppl hafta change, just for

whats this about impressing, we not trying to impress anyone, maybe you are,

wont change anyone by forcing them into it
