oh,oh Hangman is in trouble
You know, I've always learn't by examples. I guess that's why after a few times in the slammer for jay walk'n and talk'n back to the officer, I finally learn't that call'n the guy a 'putz' doesn't get you any browny points with the enforcer, but the judge is certainly enjoying the entertainment.
< ... >
Now for my questions:
Does two (2) question marks mean this is a hypothetical question?
Where was "open drawing" and "read-only" previously mentioned?
Well, ... now you've done it !!! Gone an open'd a box a worms (although this is the most enjoyable part for the judge, the explanations. He sais I can come up with some good ones).
Alright, first of all, the two question marks:
I use to use three (3), but then I'd end up with this
icon. Didn't work very well when asking questions, seriously.
But I get ahead of myself, so lemme back up a bit. Have you ever had a question that ended in a seven (no pun intended) ?7?7?
For some reason, there seems to be some confusion as to whether I'm making statements or simply trying to irritate someone. So I started using the tripple question marks to show I'm asking a question. As you can see, with three you get an icon, so I had to revert to two. So that way everyone can see that the post I put out there is a question, not a statement! Otherwise people start asking me silly questions like, "what do you mean by 'statementi'?". And then there's the next person who'd post to the effect of "you've gotta go learn how to spell, ... what is this 'statementi?' crap and what does it mean?" And so you return trying to smooth things over by explaining in some long drawnout post that it wasn't 'statementi', or 'statementi?', or 'statement!7', it was simply to explain that I wasn't making a statement, I was simply asking a question". Of course by now the question is completely irrelevant as you have twenty people commenting about your spelling and punctuation and the conversation goes on for weeks without a single mention as to an answer to a question you no longer remember asking.
So then sometime later as you are slaving away, sweat rolling down your forehead and beading about your brow, concentrating to the extent you hear nothing going on around you as you pound feverishly on your keyboard trying to finish the project you've been working on for eleven weeks straight. Hoping that today of all days, you will be able to finish this drawn out job and move on to something fresh. As you are getting close to your goal, you attempt to run a routine that, inadvertently crashes and cause you to halt your progress and assess the cituation. As you rack your brain for an answer to this dilemma of a routine not working properly, you recollect that at some point in the not too distant past you had posted a question regarding this very thing at 'the_Swamp'. So you access your Internet Explorer and drill down on your favorites bar seeking the link to 'the_Swamp'. You don't remember the outcome of your initial question, and out of fear of reviving old posts, you decide to readdress the question only to get a comment back saying, "Please don't ask the question twice when once will suffice" and a link to your previous post. You know, the one that had something to do with your punctuation!
As for the "open drawing" and "read-only", and of course the color used, we'll assume you will go back to the question posted earlier 'cause you see, the question was asked in the forum regarding code. But nobody seemed to catch that part and the post was eventually moved to the 'general' section and people kept telling you how you needed to fix your punctuation and for cry'n out loud, there's an arrow next to the 'open' button on the bottom right side of the drawing screen. When you press that button, you will find four (4) options and "read-only" is one of those options. USE IT! And of course somebody else's comment would be something to the effect of "What does ITI mean and where do you find it, in a pulldown menu?".
So you are using color to try to distinguish the topic of your question and offer people the opportunity to understand your question the first time without having to re-explain your question several different times. We can understand that Se7en. And you use the punctuation loosly so those reading your posts will (hopefully) understand that you are truly asking a question and not making statements that make absolutely no sense to the rest of us. But for pete's sake Se7en, you cannot go around trying to change the english language and recreate the wheel of punctuation. It isn't the proper way to go about it and you won't get much sympathy from us here, we are 'coders', not english professors.
Hopefully you understand now why jello wiggles the way it does and why there's no such thing as 'jay-walking'.
So please Se7en, let's stop talking about your incessant punctuation and misspelling errors and get back to your topic at hand shall we?
And, holy cow, that yellow and white text is REALLY hard to read !!! Geez, and they say I should be in a mental home.
:ugly:
