the way Q&A section is heading, I have a strong feeling it will lose its essence soon... I mean most of the questions are so basic and mostly homework questions.. Coders don't even try to search them on the web as most of them are answered here... :mad: I don't feel like going there again.. :sigh: Welcome to Lounge... ;P :-\ :thumbsup:

The way the Q&A section is heading, I have a strong feeling it will lose its essence soon. I mean: most of the questions are so basic and mostly homework questions. Coders (no right to be called that) don't even bother to search for answers on the web, as most of them are answered here. I am sick of that place and don't feel like going there again. You can't be bothered to , like, press keys and stuff in the correct - or at least an appropriate - order, but complain about users that show similar laziness but at least try to get their homework done? If you prefer to live in a better world, stop making it worse first.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

You seem to be under some form of misapprehension here. Not everybody is comfortable with txtspk, and it is extremely irritating. We aren't all 14 year old giggling schoolchildren here, so we'd appreciate it if you could respond like a responsible adult.

Basic questions are legitimate questions. You are not interested in, while many other folks may be. Even homework questions are legitimate ones: after all, none of us (usually) gives complete code. :)

Unfortunately it's a recent Indian cultural development. People use txt-speak in forums, email, and even in official documents (including their resume). :sigh:

Well then, that makes you a special kind of stupid. You're typing on a real computer - use real words here, or you'll consistently be harassed.

Try to use full words, grammer and comprehendible sentences.

If we were to type in Asia, I suspect they'd think all our keyboards were broken as well. At least we have the sense to not type there. ;P
keyboards are a thing of the past, we all use iPads now. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

Easy flick all the vowels (leaving I)from your keyboard and avoid using punctuation at all costs.

What, you were like born expert?! I don't mind answering basic questions. I've come a long way, and I remember posting basic queries here before a few years. I feel happy when I know that my answers have helped the enquirer learn something new, with no regards to the complexity of the query itself. Sometimes it is basic, other times it is challenging. But it's always fun. I'm also perfectly OK with assisting people solve their homework queries, as long as they are willing to put in efforts from their side. [Add] Hmm... You said sorry. :) [/Add]

Well if the person doing the hiring is also a txt-speak enthusiast, then a txt-speak resume may actually have an advantage over a regular one.

Yeah but I've heard iPads stop the text-flow though. :rolleyes:

Glad to hear it. Just a friendly tip, you might consider editing your post (to correct the spelling) to prevent others from mentioning your Lounge etiquette violation. :)

Wow - By apologizing here, you've basically given the middle finger to all the snarky replies you got, including mine. Damn you, and hope to see you around here from now on :thumbsup:
