        Dude, he's willing to do you a special favor! That's topps in my book :) And, what would you have done if he'd said you *had* said something silly? :D

            I donno... it was ok, but i'm a bit jaded towards jokes that take advantage of non-english speakers. We've got a sizeable foreign population at the local Uni, and it's sad how much they keep to themselves a lot of the time. Nothing quite so humbling as sitting down with a person and struggling to understand each other; the curse of Babel really bites sometimes. I try to be as patient as possible when i'm able; for sure i'd hope for that were i in a similar situation!

                yes,i said time and again that he is helpful to me. i only can not accept what he said that i am always saying silly things. that's two different things. maybe i should owe it to culture differences. what would you have done if he'd said you *had* said something silly? i will do nothing.i only want to know what and why i am saying is silly to someone.then i can improve myself not to commit same mistakes next time. one intention that i am being here often is to try to communicate with foriengers and understand them and learn from them.

                  Hello zhoujun, Don't worry about what Colin said. He was mostly joking. And "silly" is not exactly an abusive word. I mean hey, we all post silly stuff every day. I guess I post more silly stuff than others on account of my having posted more posts than anyone else :-) So relax. Sometimes there are language barriers. Dont take every sentence at it's literal meaning. The english language is really weird sometimes. For example if I say that C++ is a piece of cake, it doesn't mean I am hungry or that I am gonna eat cake. It means C++ is damn simple and easy. Got it? Cheer up, :rose: Nish :-)

                    ouch !! so well explained lets analyse it. since you haven't said anything silly this week
                    This implies I believe he has not said anything silly this week, however it does not imply that I believe he has ever said anything silly. The implication that I believe he has never said anything silly is definitly not an implication that he has said something silly. This concludes Silly Philosophy 101. Next week you will be tested on your understanding of relevance to arguements that have no object. Regardz Colin J Davies

                            OK, :rose: I should have used a lot more smileys to show I was jesting ( similar to joking ) with you. I was not joking about you. No, I didn't think you had said anything silly. Also note, please that in English often silly is not a derrogatory term. And my offer to help you was sincere as I'd hate to see someone else taken advantage of by some of the people who sell trash on the web. Lets make peace and call this a "Cultural Buffer Overflow" :rose: Regardz Colin J Davies

                                    You'd probably need a reboot -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                                      Hello zhoujun, Don't worry about what Colin said. He was mostly joking. And "silly" is not exactly an abusive word. I mean hey, we all post silly stuff every day. I guess I post more silly stuff than others on account of my having posted more posts than anyone else :-) So relax. Sometimes there are language barriers. Dont take every sentence at it's literal meaning. The english language is really weird sometimes. For example if I say that C++ is a piece of cake, it doesn't mean I am hungry or that I am gonna eat cake. It means C++ is damn simple and easy. Got it? Cheer up, :rose: Nish :-)

                                        OK, :rose: I should have used a lot more smileys to show I was jesting ( similar to joking ) with you. I was not joking about you. No, I didn't think you had said anything silly. Also note, please that in English often silly is not a derrogatory term. And my offer to help you was sincere as I'd hate to see someone else taken advantage of by some of the people who sell trash on the web. Lets make peace and call this a "Cultural Buffer Overflow" :rose: Regardz Colin J Davies
