Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» When people tell you how you can improve your questions by changing this to that and that to the other do you? Why would you?
Oh you are just so naughtly ......I wood never ever Upset Randy D by doing such crass fings as like that.....
You do also realise that Randy D is a very delicate person that cannot handle criticism or sophisticated humour all that well.....
When I was at school.....we tried to protect the the more delicate Swots from playful banter that always seemed to upset them..... I think it would would be good of you edit your answer before Randy gets the chance to see it...:(D
You know how I express myself Sbf. I purposely misspell words or make them up or use words like "ain't" because I'm in charge of me and I express myself the way I want to. If folks have a problem with it I invite them to just ignore me. I don't go anywhere else. They come to me to answer my questions. They don't have to go out of their way for me unless they are prepared to accept the person I am. In rereading things I often find errors and correct them. But I don't take requests about how to "improve". If you like the style that's great. If you don't that's quite okey dokey too. I don't criticize others for how they express themselves and I don't take criticism from people about how I express myself. If I'm your cuppa tea that is awesomely splendid. If not that is also equally awesomely splendid. Either way I win! I read that your country had a gun-related massacre a few days ago. Condolences my dear. The article said it has been 22 years since such occurred in Australia. A sad day. Thank you for your reply! :)
Not quite - family murder-suicides are usually considered in a different category to random sprees. The perp's guns were legally owned and licensed (he was a farmer), which could indicate that our "draconian" gun laws actually aren't strict enough.
I guess I didn't read the article thorougly. So it was family and not strangers? Even sadder. Too bad there is no way to test folks to see which of them will go crazy and murder. I wish there were. Thank you for your reply Sbf and Happy Tuesday. I can't imagine killing anyone. If the killing is done to stop someone from killing others of course that makes sense. But just to get so angry or hate so much that you actually take lives? That is monstruous. I wonder are such folks born that way or do they become that way? Thank you for your reply.
There are always room for improvements in most things Rosie....I often look at what I've posted and think I could have said it better or should have been more tactful..... Looking in from the outside ,people can often see the errors in what you are trying to say.... If you openly discussed things with friends before composing questions , would you still post your exact worded question or would you tweak it to some degree. . ?
No tweaking sweetie. I am responsible for the words I choose to use. It is not by consensus. I don't ask for advice about how I should express myself. What you see is 100% me. I am what I yam and that's all the I yam. I think those words were first uttered by that world-famous spinach guy Popeye! If I allow others to "adjust" what I say then it is no longer me saying it. I don't require approval of what I do/say from anyone D. I figure if folks are drawn to me fine. If not that's fine too. Anything else is phony to me. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to thee! :)

I never meant to infer you should change the way you word things Rosie.......have you never thought though on revisiting your questions that you could have said it in a better way though... . .?
No honey. I never second-guess myself. What I say at the time I say it is the very best I can do. If later on down the pike things change affecting what I said I never regret it because it was AT THE MOMENT of saying it. I mean looking back on things now from the person I am now and wishing I hadn't been that person? No. I have never done that. That would be like changing history to make you look better. I have no interest in that. I gladly take my lumps for what I say. Do you? Thank you for your reply D. Another question ariseth from this discussion.
I don't think anyone has ever told me that but if they did I would listen to them. After all I think we live with a lot of assumptions that are so much part of us but that others may not share. So is always good to clarify.
