Every single post on this thread so far is perfectly fine and understandable in my opinion. But this post is a classic example of one that I cannot understand at all:

Yeah, that one is a tough one. It looks like he is from Pakistan, so we might have a language barrier on this one. This one might be a fun exercise to figure out what he needs.

 

Oh okay. I see that now. But the curious thing is that it still resembles a big text message with some of the lingo. I actually admire the people who ask questions using a translator. They're brave.

 

Can you imagine the responses to a posting like that over on the HAMB?

LOL

 

Have you noticed that Bob's mistypes are being quoted more often now. Gotta save those for the historians.

 

Yeah, yeah

 

I am with you on feeling like a moron when posting. I read and re-read and then hit 'Submit Reply' and once it's posted, that is when I see the glaring errors.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell what they are trying to talk about when the words, though spelled correctly, are the wrong words.

I pride myself on my ability to communicate and sometimes I can understand what they mean even though the sentences are totally discombobulated. Other times I choose not to even try.

 

I don't usually have to much of a problem under standing most of the the questions but there have been a couple.

"Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

Another thing that makes me feel like a moron is when I type something and stare at it for a long time making it right. Then I decide to edit it and then I forget to save the edit. After I realise what I done I say to heck with it and go on to something else.

Just ran across this on another forum...

"The The Impotence of Proofreading," by TAYLOR MALI - YouTube

 

Holy cow! Thats hilarious

That would be incredibly hard to do...make a speach with all the wrong words. It the opposite of reading that paragraph with all the words spelled wrong. That guy must have practiced for hours

very cool

 

He;s a "modern poet" -- a professional. I couldn't do without a script!

 

That was an impressively disturbing abuse of the English language. Very funny, too true, and creative.

 

My wife works in the documentation department of a medical device company where she checks copy before it goes out for print...I thought she was going to die laughing when she watched that video.
