The person 'Donald Link' had this
to say about a post I made:
"What an idiotic statement.
Using Word would probably tax
your mental ability also. Making
blanket statement without explaining
why is probably the reason you are
having troubles".
Now, someone telling me I made an
idiotic statement doesn't bother
me particularly (I make them
regularly!), but being told
so by an illiterate peasant
does tend to irritate me; which
is why Donald Link's public
humiliation is in order.
Here's a little critique
of Donald's reply to the post
"Pinnacle Studio 10.1" in rec.
video.production.
Message-ID: <rhmln11hvlfe3e5e0nbsn
19mb82eedko7m@4ax.com>
Here's a small sample of what he
wrote:
>Thru the whole deal I have used
>Pinnacle Studio from version 7 to
>9 plus with a few purchased add on
That's ADD ON'S Donald. Also, THRU is
very unpleasant, but you're probably
American* so I'll ignore it.
>I think we are blessed to be able to
>produce actual movies footage that they
>will be able to show their kids and
>grandkids.
Hideously sappy, but, it's the
"movies footage" that worries me.
That's MOVIE FOOTAGE Don. And who
does "they" refer to?
>Being the brave soul that I am I
>I consider myself very astute
>when it comes to solving problems
You're also very modest aren't you.
>the programs got installed and all
>the activation of add on programs
>things looked like it would be a breeze.
This is abysmal. Apart from being
completely uncoordinated the THINGS
doesn't agree with the IT. Your gold
star is under serious threat.
>cleaned out my registery
That's REGISTRY, Don.
>I think version 10 has a lot
>of potentials
That's POTENTIAL, Don.
>it will work with
>extremly fast processor
That's *AN* EXTREMELY, and you
misspelled "extremely", Don.
*BTW, you're not an Indian
or Pakistani are you? You make
their trademark grammatical
error, and you do it regularly.
I've saved the choicest morsel
till the end. This your Ignoramus
Peasant stamp of authenticity:
>Also I rendered it with
>no titles or nothing
"No titles or nothing"?
Why does the image of
a banjo suddenly come
to mind?
Anyway,there goes the
gold star.
So Donald, why don't you
trot off, take some time
to learn about composition,
spelling, something called
grammar, and a thing called
idiom - then - when you're
ready, you can come back here,
and perhaps someone will help
you with your fascinating video's
of your lovely grandchildren.
Oh, and in your first post,
it's not "Making blanket
statement", it's STATEMENTS.
