Different culture
-
I personally don't think that it comes from a bad translation - It's a cultural thing. Mind you that there are cultures where one isn't motivated to actually put effort into something they get paid for.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

This is not exactly what I meant. I wonder why they are all writing URGENNTTTTT and PLLLLZZZZZZZ, instead of "Please help me, this is urgent".

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

What about these lazy "smart" students saying : "This thing is not for me, but I still need this homework done"?

These are morons, too - The worst kind of morons since they mostly think that they are the new Steve Jobs. Like the fellow apprentice who has the job to make a C# eLearning and decided to leave object orientation away and present the procedural way (Console apps yelling "Hello World" at you, and stuff like that). When I pointed him towards this lack, and he answered that: - He wanted to keep it easy - Didn't want to use C instead because the Syntax is different ("You have pointers in C") - Object orientation doesn't needs to be understood when learning C# I was hardly able to contain myself - These are future Pros.

One thing I have ( that is somehow related to the "different culture/different strokes" thread below) been wondering : where does the "PLLLZZZ Urgenttttt" actually come from ? Is this something cultural, like an idioms of some sort in another language ? Or a bad translation ?

"Please help me, this is urgent" is English. :doh: Do you expect the texting generation will text in English? I think not. :sigh:

Moronity - They don't see that (at least trying to write) proper english on an english site will get them further. But then again, all humans are supposed to learn during their life and so I hope that they will, too. It's not cultural, look at all these poor human beings on Twitter who are shortening and abusing their language (be it english or german or french) to sound 'cool' and tell the world more of what doesn't interest anyone in 140 characters.

I consider myself as a part of the texting generation, yet I manage to write more or less complete sentences.

What culture is so impatient so as not to be polite when asking for help. That is a rhetorical question by the way. :-D

Actually, I wasn't thinking about any culture in particular. It seems the current generation has a sense of entitlement that I did not have when I was growing up. :suss:

One thing I have ( that is somehow related to the "different culture/different strokes" thread below) been wondering : where does the "PLLLZZZ Urgenttttt" actually come from ? Is this something cultural, like an idioms of some sort in another language ? Or a bad translation ?

Could be a cultural thing... Every time I deal with some of our international customers (I won't name anyone), we get interesting English (although, I'm sure they find American English to be odd as well).

You have pointers in C# but they are called references and they a little bit different Well your friend is right who the hell needs to know OOP, it is never used anyway :laugh:
