The Jewish Conspiracy Thread

[Cobster]

Are you an english teacher. Spelling mistakes on job applications actually do get looked over, as often do things like 'their' and 'They're'. HR departments are often times not run by the brightest people in the world and they do not always notice little things like spelling mistakes, or criminal records. It would also depend on what job you were trying to get. If it involved alot of use of the written word then it would be bad. If it involved welding, or driving a truck...

But this is not a job application. If it was your argumentative attitude would of lost you any chance at most jobs. This is a political debate in which people are writing down their thoughts, and probably posting them without using spell or gramma check. (yes I know I wrote gramma check, she was alway great from checking my grammer) Most I suspect can type well, and type as they would speak. Perhaps some are doing other things on the net as well so their attention might not be right at their keyboards. Then of course we all have the odd typo.

Being nit picky about who things get spelled can throw off the entire debate, and I personally think it looks worse on the nit picker than on the speller. I understand it if you are an English Teacher and this is your job. Here I say relax. Debate the ideas.

What world do you live in?
Maybe McDonald's applications, but on a more serious level, they do not get looked over.
Again, it comes down to credibility and shows one's attention to detail and quite possibly can reflect on a person's worth ethic.
Sounds funny doesn't it.

(check how many times spelling is mentioned in the link above)

For me, it does reflect on a person to a degree, not a huge amount, but enough for me to question them about what they're saying.
Again, credibility.

I don't feel any more worse for mentioning spelling.
I just find it funny that people that come across as all high'n'mighty, can't get basic English 101 right.
(there's irony in that)

Here's a good link, titled "Look Smart"
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4190/is_20060922/ai_n16827532

The occasional genuine spelling mistake, fine, no problem.
I was just trying to help out your bum buddy OTB, with "their" and "they're". He's done it more than once, so it's not just a genuine error.
Can't a fellow terbite, help a another terbite out?

Thanks for comin' out clubber, your 2¢ were kinda appreciated. =)

You're quite funny.
So quit while you're ahead big guy. =)

We also have bigger tits and give better head. Seriously, it's a fact.

Odd, because this girl I dated (Galit) didn't have big tits, but a questionably big nose. Come to think of it, so did a lot of her friends...
But the rest of her was DAMN fine, DAAAAMN fine.
Aerobics instructor, what....an.....ass!

Give up Cobster,

I think your trying to hard. Their never going to understand the importance of proper gammer and spelling.

Dear GOD, who is that in your signature???

It's my new secretary.

Her typing sucks.........but who cares

Don't you wish

The funny thing about these issues for me is, that I have many Jewish friends
OTB.

As do all textbook anti-Semites. And I bet you're conducting this little poll simply to satiate your benign quest for knowledge, right?

No wonder you are 'ON THE BOTTOM'.

Most published books tend to be written with correct spelling, grammar and usage. People who read books tend to internalize correct spelling, grammar and usage and are often capable of reproducing same.

Poor writing usually correlates with those who don't read books.

While there are a lot of nutty ideas in books, next to first hand experience, reading a wide range of books remains one of the the best ways to gain breadth of knowledge and perspective on issues.

For example, one who reads books likely would not have made the error of writing "would of (sic) lost you the argument" in the above-quoted text.

I would like to hear Eric Cartman's Point of View

I do not agree with the USA being the worlds Only Superpower, China is getting Stronger by the day and the Euro is a stronger currency . Hell Canada seems to be doing a better Job in the Middle east then the US .

There seems to be a few of you on an endless debate about Jewish influence on the US. I thought I'd make that the central topic of a thread.

Some of my observations to get you started.

There are 13 million Jews in the world (about as many as we have illegal aliens in the US) 5m in Israel, 5m in the US and 3m everywhere else.

There seem to be a lot of Jewish people in the media/entertainment/financial markets businesses.

US foreign policy is very pro Israel (this transcends party politics in the US). My only personal issue with this is that I think it's ridiculous that 5m people have such a grossly disproportionate affect on the foreign policy of the world's only superpower.

I have no data to support this but I'd be willing to bet that Jewish citizens of the US are: above average in income, above average in education, below average in crime.


Flame away.

a rather shameful post, sir.

Is this post for real? Are you kidding? You sir are an idiot.

I'm with looking on this one. Don't bother, some people just never paid attention in school or read books like the other guy mentioned.

Would have should have, it is a problem I have been working on. I actually read a ton of books. I go through about 2 novels a week. Usually I also have some other books going on Economics, History, Science as well. However I interact with people alot more. It is called having a life. One tends to write as one speaks and others do. Check out the could of would of mistake on the net. It is the most common. Most when they speak actually say could of, or would of instead of could have or would have. I had my education in the 70's in Acton, then considered one of the worst academic schools in Ontario. I have fought through a poor education to do the best I could, and that is not bad by any standard. I don't mind people correcting English when a mistake is made, but when they are anal about it, then they usually have no life or they would be dead from it.

Clubber if you read books as you claim, then your own spelling and grammar would be fine. Since John mentioned it internalizes within a person who does frequently read. Don't justify your mistakes just because it's on the internet.

You would have been better off keeping quiet on the topic.

 

[basketcase]

Not really. Reading makes spelling improve on average but the brain doesn't always focus on spelling. The brain is very good at interpreting input and it has been shown that when reading a sentence, we often only see the first and last letters and our brain is able to fill in the rest based on the context. We interpret words instead of actually reading the letters of a word. The only time the brain really takes the time to process all of the letters is when it is an unfamiliar word, a strange context, or you are really taking the time to focus on the words.

Also, in another thread, I dug up the lobbying expenditures. The pro-Israel lobby has spent under 2 million a year, compared with several hundered thousand every year from industries such as pharmacutical and automotive.

I read more for content. When I got out of school I could hardly spell a word over 4 letters. Yet here I am a published poet, 4 short stories published, as well as some other things. I got spell check and grammer check, and the editors usually will help out alot. I like so many write as I speak. I just really hate those who throw stones at spelling and care nothing for content. People who tend to be like this tend to miss the points made in the books. Most people I know who are this anal about spelling or grammer are kind of like that. They zero in on others simple mistakes in hopes that people will not notice they do not undestand what is going on.

My favourite author now is Terry Pratchett. Also love going to the Shakespear Festival.

By the way, one of the most interesting bits on my Grade 10 English report card from my English Teacher states I should OF done better. I had years of this. Not so easy to break. Maybe I should send some of your posts to This English Teach I know on the net who lives in Britian. I am sure he would pick apart you colonial English.

So which is it gonna be? People take it (English) for granted and they don`t learn it well enough. Or, who cares, it`s just the net, you were being specific only to spoken part of English and not the written?
Make up your mind already

Yes I did say that, and I fully agree with it. I have said I am not the best. I really wish I had a better education on English. As I said I am over coming the short comings of it. One of the big things I learned is I get my back up against the wall when insulted. We all do. There are better ways to get across that someone made a mistake than insulting them, then they tend to insult you back. In just about every board there is someone who has appointed himself the language police. The best want people to learn, and that I will always support. They do this usually with a good sense of humour. Then there are those who think they are gods gift to the english language and call people morons for making a mistake.

I must apologize as I don`t think I gave you the chance to prove it one way or another. I think you also know that the reason so there is so much bad use of English is due to some really education. If you check my English you will find it is actually better than alot I have seen here.

My main point is just because someone makes a mistake with spelling it does not make their point useless. The other thing I was trying to point out is that if you have two applications for say a mechanic and one is perfect English and a beautiful resume, but makes mistakes about fixing a car and someone who has alot of Spelling mistakes but you can understand it and the application shows he has a good grasp of mechanic, who are you going to hire.

I use a mechanic because the guy I use cannot get through a book. His English is terrible. He can`t spell, yet he is a wiz at Math. He does an amazing job and is a great guy charges very low rates and has had a successful business going for 30 years.

I'll just say it again one more time.
The reason I brought up OTB's spelling was because he tries to come across as high'n'mighy on a pedestal talking down to people and the "idiot" calling.
So I found it ironic that he didn't know the difference between "their" and "they're".
If a thread is going on and on and people make errors, I won't jump in and try to correct them. But I will lash out at those who try have the holier than tho mentality.

As for this thread, absolutely stupid as red and coocoo mentioned.
