I think perhaps he was aiming his barb at your use of "noone" in your post as if it was a real word - it isn't. "No one" is correct, and the addition of the space doesn't cost a thing!imadube wrote:Since1982 wrote:question for imadube. would you say there's anything wrong with this sentence?>>> Famoose movee starr frum the 50's Garye Coopere in his most famoose movee "Highe Noone" wass a veree good aktor......<<< Would you see anything wrong with that, Imadube?
Well, very bad spelling. As far a the "content" - Not a very big Gary Cooper fan, good actor but I don't idolize people.
Don't understand the test here?????
I'm afraid the UK is in headlong pursuit of the USA in this respect. On the one hand parents are coming under tremendous pounding for not 'disciplining' their children, all of societies ills being laid at their door, and the same PC cretins (I would like to use stronger, much stronger, language!) are slamming into any parents who do 'discipline' their children! children are now being taught that 'playing the game is more important than winning'. I'm not at all sure of the point they're trying to make. As a kid at grammar school, we were forced to play Rugby. We always tried hard to lose by the biggest margin possible, just to relieve the boredom. Now, if we'd had some sort of incentive.........!Since1982 wrote:We in America can look forward to a future of dumber,unhappier, more violent children and because of these 2 court decisions, a more unsafe America for all that live here. The fewer than before smarter children, mostly born of brighter parents who disregarded the 1985/87 decisions and taught their children the old fashioned way will take longer to dumb down, but I'm very afraid that movie "Idiocracy" is no comedy.
Like Peter and others I'm stunned by the idea that the rule is the important thing and must be preserved at all costs of fairness and reason. Asking if the hair ban is appropriate gets people digging their heels to teach the lesson that you can't just change rules if you don't want to follow them. It is truly sad to see such little minds. From what I have seen on long hair boards where the issue comes up regularly there is often a hidden religious belief behind school restrictions on male hair in the United States. That may in part explain why the people don't think the rule should be reconsidered, their authority of choice in the matter has spoken. In public schools religious views are not supposed to be influencing policies though of course it does happen. Certainly there are other sources of prejudice against longhairs contributing to the rule too. Perhaps the kid is a dirty hippie druggie homeless musician. Not sure how having his hair cut would change all that but the school board must know best about these things.Peter v wrote:Be aware of people who will not and cannot think.
