You're right, though -- my post proves I look exactly like the stylin' gentleman in the silver jacket.]]>Jan 18th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/
1) "EFL" is merely a play on "ESL" -- indicating you write like a first-gen English speaker with zero tolerance for non-colloquial modes of expression and thus betray ignorance of history (though I find it amusing that you felt compelled to open your fly and dangle your three languages in everyone's face). The comment wasn't xenophobic, it was suggesting that studying English lit might *you* less xenophobic.

2) To respond in kind: When did writing in monosyllables become the yardstick of social acceptance? OMG, I'd better tell my niece not to continue to publish neo-gothic novels so she won't waste time doing exactly what she loves.

The problem isn't that anyone has called your English inadequate (I used to teach English and wouldn't discourage people at levels far below yours). It's that you've chosen to stalk someone for speaking English in ways you don't understand. Why not do the adult thing and show tolerance for people who speak and write in idiosyncratic ways? There are infinite gradations of style to choose from. If you don't understand me, then ask me about it in ways that aren't hostile and confrontational. If you don't like the way I express myself, then talk to someone else. Nothing wrong with having faith in the golden rule.]]>Jan 15th 2008 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/

By the way -- has anyone seen my temporary Jobs watercolor tattoo? I'm not going to wear it -- I just like to feel it against my skin.]]>Jan 15th 2008 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/
On the other hand:
1) Why on earth do I need to pass English as first language when Chinese is my mother tongue with English being one of the 3 other languages that I speak, and
2) When did the comprehension of English become the yard stick of one's intellect? omg I better tell my nephew quick so he woulndn't waste his time doing his masters in physics.]]>Jan 15th 2008 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/
1) you're pointing out that i insulted you. fine, sorry, if you can't take a joke and feel insulted, sorry. but funny how it seems like you yourself are very good at it, calling them "fanboys", "not the most masculine crowd", "whelp" - and me, a "hentai" reading "anti-intellectual snob who's bitter because he can't think and read at the same time"... you taught before huh? doesn't seem like you'd be a good choice to set students a good example...

2) "The problem isn't that anyone has called your English inadequate"? No? Really? See what I quoted above... pffft

in short - everything points towards you having issues with yourself. you're either damn arrogant or damn insecure. your pick. one thing for sure, though, is that you don't seem to have a sense of humour.]]>Jan 15th 2008 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/Jan 15th 2008 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/zealots-lineup-for-jobs-keynote/
