BUUUU HUUUUU.... Regrettably, I must nominate myself as "Thread Moron" as I have been caught twice (today, and in the same sentence) in errors in the proper use of the English language. This is in the FTEL thread, where I used to post, now I seldom do, as I have more important things to do. While admittedly, English is not my native language, such is a lame excuse, as I should know better.... Having said that, we are all very lucky that English has become the "language of business", as without doubt, it is the easiest language to learn, the single biggest problem is spelling as there are many different possible sounds for the vowels, but really not much conjugations etc. to perform in our speech/writings. Can you imagine what the posts of the SI Universe would look like if the "language of business" would be say.... French, or Spanish, or German (that is a scary one), or any other ?..... I see two scenarios..... (as far as the Penny Stock Threads) 1. Only more educated people would post, as it would be really embarrassing (or unreadable), for the amount of errors (proportionately speaking), that would take place, based on the current quality of posters. Therefore, less Moron candidates. 2. If, on the other hand, (knowing human nature), greed would overcome the potential embarrassment, the number of Morons candidates would really be sky high..... My apologies for my illiteracy.... or, is it obliteration, as someone once suggested. I am confused.... see: #reply-5182765 Z.
