DEAR JJ...
"Oh come on... the original message wasn't very hard to understand. ESPECIALLY not with such a keen grasp of the English language as you both seem to have."
[ THE WORD "ESPECIALLY" SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED A COMMA (EVEN, SOMETIMES, A DASH AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEGUN THE NEXT SENTENCE! ]
"Here's the original, let's decipher it:" [ BAD COMMA ]
IF IT WAS ALL SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND, THEN WHY DID YOU USE THE WORD "DECIPHER"?
--------------------------------------------------------
i'm new in here..?? i not now i can use it...??
if the massage sent push request....!!!
what can i do...??
--------------------------------------------------------
"The only thing that doesn't work [ ABSENT COMMA ] here [ ABSENT COMMA ] is the use of punctuation, exclamation-" ...
THAT DASH/HYPHEN WAS NOT REQUIRED, OH RECTIFIER OF WRONGS, SO...WHY IS IT THERE? IT DOESN'T WORK, HERE!
"...and question marks. Let's look through them and correct some of the words:"
"I'm new in here..?? probably means "I am new here.""
I THINK EVERYBODY WORKED THAT ONE OUT. TAKE A BOW!
"So far [ ABSENT COMMA ] it's quite easy." [ REDUNDANT MODIFIER ("quite") ]
""i not now i can use it...?? Since this is posed as a question, much like the previous one, with question marks at the end, we should be able to explore the possibility that they are not intended here [ ABSENT COMMA ] either. Thus, we have the sentence: "I not now I can use it", which seems incomprehensible until we discover the missing "k": "I not KNOW I can use it". The meaning will be kind of hard to discern until we try to combine this "sentence" with the next, which is logical since the next one starts with the word "if", which kind of..."
SOMEBODY JUDGING OUR GRASP OF ENGLISH IS NOW USING THE LAZY TERM "kind of"?
"...insinuates that whatever was meant is continuing on the next row: "if the massage sent push request...!!!". Notice that the person most likely isn't talking about a massage here, but rather a message. So [ ABSENT COMMA ] we must conclude that what is meant is actually: "I don't know how to use it (Gnotella, obviously) if I get the message 'sent push request'."."
"The last one: "what can I do...??" most likely is meant to be taken as a question (and not a rhetorical one at that)." [ IT OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT BE RHETORICAL! IT IS AMONG ENTRIES MOSTLY COMPRISING REQUESTS FOR HELP. AND THE TERM "at that" IS ARCHAIC AND FORMS A REDUNDANCY! ]
"So, the message in its entirety would read:"
"I am new here. I don't know what to do if I get the message "sent push request". What can [ ABSENT COMMA ] or should [ ABSENT COMMA ] I do?"
"All this took me less than a second to understand and interprete." [ GREAT SPELLING! ]
WELL, IF THAT'S TRUE AND YOU KNEW THE ANSWER, THEN WHY GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS JUST TO ANSWER THE INDIVIDUAL'S QUESTION? IF YOU CARED ABOUT ANSWERING HIS QUESTION, AND KNEW THAT YOUR ANSWER WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HIM, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT YOUR ANSWER AT THE TOP?
"Why? Because I PAY ATTENTION to the whole picture."
YOU MEAN...AS LONG AS THE WHOLE PICTURE DOESN'T INVOLVE YOUR OWN INADEQUATE...
A. PUNCTUATION (ABSENT COMMAS).
B. LIMPING GRAMMAR.
C. GLARING REDUNDANCIES.
D. INAPPROPRIATE (FORGOTTEN) PREMISE.
E. SENTENCE BALANCE, AND...
F. VIEWPOINT DISCIPLINES?
...ALL OF WHICH "shouldn't be impossible to notice"!
NEXT TIME, TRY SEEING THE "WHOLE PICTURE" OF THE THREADS, HERE.
1. AN UNHAPPY GUY POSTED A MESSAGE THAT POSTER 2 COULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
2. POSTER 2 WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE MESSAGE MEANT AND SAID SO, SINCERELY, ALTHOUGH HE COULD HAVE WORDED HIS ENTRY MORE ADEQUATELY.
3. POSTER 3 TOOK THAT THE WRONG WAY AND MISJUDGED POSTER 2'S INTENTION/ATTITUDE.
4. POSTER 2 RETURNED WITH AN EXPLANATION THAT HIS WORDING WAS SINCERE AND THEN YOU, POSTER 3, BUTTED IN AND DECIDED TO LEAVE HELP FOR THE ORIGINAL POSTER UNTIL LAST AND MAKING 24 ERRORS IN YOUR OWN POSTING!
THAT'S THE WHOLE PICTURE!
"During the first second, it shouldn't be impossible to notice the words: "New", "push request" and "what should I do"?"
"Being an active user of Gnotella [ ABSENT COMMA ] it isn't really that hard to understand what the guy wants to know. He is encountering Push requests that won't go away (why else would he write to us?). So [ ABSENT COMMA ] what's the answer? Easy:"
"You are getting push requests because the people you are downloading from are behind firewalls or routed so that you can't get their real address. Most likely YOU are firewalled too and two firewalled users can't download from each other if one of them doesn't find out his REAL ip [ IP ] and goes into "setup -> my connection" and types in his REAL ip [ IP ] in the field labeled "force local ip to:"."
"Another solution is to just NOT download from addresses beginning with 192.168 or 10. They are local addresses and WILL generate push requests."
"My apologies to those of you who really had no idea what the guy mean who started this thread."
THE WORD "meant" HAS A "t" ON THE END! YOU MUST STRIVE TO SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE OF YOUR OWN USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ALSO!
I SAW THAT "During the first second"!  |
