What you may see as writing improperly, they may see as writing informally.
There is some truth in this. I have a friend who, though he has very good grammar and spelling abilities, refuses to use capitals *at all* in almost all of his informal writings.
They will not throw the book aside the moment a paragraph becomes too complicated to absorb without thought.
You're joking right? Seriously, you *really* think that people suddenly 'become more intelligent' when they are reading? Your posts read like an ellitist professor who simply doesn't like television...
Things are getting like that now. I have a client whose mail server blocks almost every useful file attachment. What do I do? Put things on our company FTP site and email a link to the client...
If only the US help system wasn't based on maximizing profit endlessly.
So you're telling me other countries have cures for these things? I figure they *must* if their health system is *so* much better... And it must be my imagination that they are clamoring for US made drugs.
It was a valid critique though, since the format itself is being heavilly attacked it's comments like yours that make it sound like this is actually a problem with the format and not with the available applications.
Sorry for being nit-picky, but I felt it was important.
Because this is something done in "insert" mode. That's pretty much the only time one needs to use control sequences. Otherwise the letter you type go into the text...
Nobody would want to enter command mode to do text completion. It's a good compromise.
It's futile really. Like explaining a joke to somebody who just "doesn't get it" I can't tell you why I like Vim. You don't, that's cool. Use something else.

I hear ya. I did the same thing. Just threw myself at it to see what all the hype was about. Now I *cringe* when watching co-workers spend forever highlighting a line with a mouse and then typing "ctrl+c ctrl+v" to copy it. "yyp" is *soo* much nicer...

Vim is a misguided attempt to add the bloat of emacs to vi.
Or for Vi users who want more than one level of 'undo.'
.xxx.us?.kids.us?.xxx.uk?.kids.uk? I could see it working if countries take these things under their wings a bit and apply local standards to them. Not that I'd want the standards *enforced for all* per se, but give folks the option. Why must we abuse the TLDs?

I keed! I keed! But seriously, you have a point.

People carried on conversations across the Atlantic when it took *months* to send a letter...

You'll also find that John Adams never owned slaves...
But that's coo, Slashdot. Mock away. That's what you do best.
Soooo, a patent lawyer making a mokery of the patent system isn't worthy of our ire simply because a child was involved?
Yes. That's what makes the world interesting. Not everyone agrees on what is 'good' and 'bad' all the time. It was the GP's point.
I hear that. Seriously. This makes me want to ship several hundred such DVDs. They can't *possibly* intend to go through every DVD they ship?!?!

ODF has *nothing* to do with any of this.
I don't think the problem is so much whether the government succeeds so much as what lengths it is willing to go to while trying.
Italian doesn't even *have* a W in the language... Though it may not be terribly difficult for Italians to pronounce.

Mmmm. Forget this 0-60 sprinting crap. Show me one that can place in the Indy 500. *That* would be impressive...
but if they are going to spend the money they stole through their OS monopoly
Stole? Brother... Where's the "current administration" reference and "foreign oil" comment?
Grownups are talking now, please be quiet.
Well played my friend. :-)
Or frighteningly accurate!
