"You" is spelled y+o+u, not "u".  I wasn't certain if you knew that, or if you actually thought that was effective communication, so I requested clarification.

Not really spelling, but grammar requires each sentence to start with a capital letter. But let me guess, you got an A in grammar too? Son, I am disappoint in the American education system.
I know that but it's on a forum on the Internet. When people text the spell hardly anything right. I did get and A in grammar.

You're not text-ing. You're typing.

Demonweb, this forum is different. We like to put our best foot forward, instead of our worst.

It's like this:

If you have 2 good feet, you can put whichever foot forward you want.

If you have 2 bad feet, then you won't have much fun here, and will eventually leave angry and disappointed. Or will be asked to. Or made to.

If you have a good foot and a bad foot, then why in the world would you want to put your bad foot forward?

Or, as my friend BizB puts it, Be Like Mike.


Be like Mike!

My neighbor Scott and I sometimes stand out front on the sidewalk talking. Most of the time, it is idle chit-chat about what's going on in our lives and things that we like. Sometimes, we discuss personal information, but not regularly.

Not long ago, a new neighbor moved in. His name is Mike. We saw his moving van and, as he was walking in one day, we greeted him cordially. He seemed nice enough.

Later, we'd see him sitting on his porch or trimming his lawn with one of those old fashioned hand trimmers. We knew he was listening in on our conversation, but we didn't care. We weren't discussing family secrets or anything. Once in a while, when we were standing there talking, I swear I've heard him giggle. It's all good.

Eventually, he approached us during one of our conversations. He introduced himself and explained that he'd really like to participate in our chats. He even made reference to one of our pseudo-inside jokes. I don't think he fully understood it, but he made an effort. He even bought us some pizza that first night. Our new neighbor is funny, bright and dresses nice (not that there is anything wrong with that). Now, sometimes, we'll chat with each other without Scott and I've seen he and Scott chatting without me. It's fun having another person that shares our lives.

CONTRAST
My neighbor Scott and I sometimes stand out front on the sidewalk talking. Most of the time, it is idle chit-chat about what's going on in our lives and things that we like. Sometimes, we discuss personal information, but not regularly.

Not long ago, a new neighbor moved in. His name is Dick. We saw his moving van and as he was walking in one day, we greeted him cordially. He walked right up to us and started handing us pictures of his x-girlfriend in various stages of undress. He grabbed a piece of pizza from the box without asking. He even picked up my beer and took a drink. Disgusting.

He told us that he would be joining us every day for our conversations whether we liked it or not. He brings nothing to the conversation. He interrupts us to tell us about his bodily functions in a grammatically-challenged way. He smells like fish and he always stands up-wind of us.

MORAL
This forum is a lot like the sidewalk in front of my house. Many people pass by. Some stop. If you decide to stop, don't be a Dick.


The part about "Our new neighbor ... dresses nice" is a metaphor for grammar and punctuation.

That was a fun story.

It should be on the Charter of the Geekery.

Yes, it should.

BizB wrote it for the HN charter.

Excellent.

Now, you can gradually proceed to the next stage: typing like an idiot on purpose for comic effect.

We all do it.

I made the same mistake when I joined this forum. But after a while you get the hang of it, and when you go to other forums it starts to really become apparent just how much is lacking out there. You'll even miss it if you don't visit here for a little bit.
