My God, Bill, have you no compassion? How can you sleep at night? You
are one of the most uncaring people I have ever had the misfortune to
communicate with! ;D

Well, sweat heart, we are posting in our native language so there is
no point in getting it proof read or translated, is there?
If "latters" was a typo then I suppose "didnt," "alot," "im,"
"somebody need one," "there," "takeing" and "difft" is too?

You're pretty damned quick to assume something aren't you? For all you
know, the person might be 70 years old and had to skip school to run
the farm. ~ could possibly be from a time when attending school was
not a priority. That wouldn't occur to your ignorant mind set would
it? Maybe they've struggled all their life with some form of dyslexia
or an advanced learning disability?
There's a few people here who frequently make spelling errors. I
wouldn't dream of criticizing them for it because I know they're
smarter than me and have considerable more experience than me.
Fact is, you like to flaunt your superiority most every chance you
get. That makes you ignorant in its worst form. I may not be as smart
as you or have the education you have, but I sure as hell won't put up
with your ignorance bullshit.

It might have just as easily been a typo. We all make those. How many
of us go and get someone to proof read our newsgroup postings or run a
(marginally imperfect) translation program before we hit the enter
button? Granted, if it was a typo, it was an unusual one, but
nevertheless, it's still entirely possible ~ except maybe for you.

Thank you for thinking I'm superior. However, I don't feel that way.
I doubt you even know the definition of ignorant. If you did, you
wouldn't be contradicting yourself as you did in your last paragraph.
Come on now... tell me, you did vote for Obama, didn't you? Trust me,
I won't think any less of you if you did.

Too bad. I was looking to buy several ladders from somewhere in
Indianapolis, but that's not what they're selling.

All I did was ask you a couple questions. Where did I say I disagreed
with you? What superior attitude?
Oh, let me guess, you voted for Obama, didn't you?

Just like last time when someone takes exception to your 'supposedly'
superior attitude.
Any one who disagrees with ANYTHING to something you have to say
becomes a target don't they? Once an asshole, always an asshole aren't
you? Hey, go for it. I know how to handle dipshits like you.

Guess I'm slower than you then. I gave up on it after five minutes. If
there was a joke there, I wasn't prepared to put anymore time into it.

My first thought, only reinforced by the fact that he would like to be
"shot a text", is that the latters might be stolen.
Why would a youngster sell a latter? "You can have my latters when you
pry them from my cold dead fingers..." ; )

I'm my area, we pronounce 'latter' and 'ladder' the same (as ladders).
Only what procedes or follows the word defines which one it is.

We have been away from Indianapolis for a couple of years now, but when
we left there were highschools in the city that were graduating only
about half of those who started as freshman.

I bet they are "supposed" to know how to spell, too. :-p

I just thought someone might need a latter. If everyone already has
sufficient latters, then I think it's time to pass. Though I'm
obviously not Pat Sajak and this is not Wheel of Fortune!

They sell "formers", which make a nice complement for "latters".
I'll be right there.....May take some time, I am driving from Calif.
Please don't sell them to anyone else....

Possibly. But if you were in that situation wouldn't you at least ask
a friend or neighbor to proof read it for you? Or why not try an on
line translation from your native tongue to the language you are
trying to reach.
My guess is that he/she paid little attention in school and when they
graduated, if they did, they couldn't read much beyond the fourth or
fifth grade level, if that well. Let's not forget the "star witness"
in the George Zimmerman trial who couldn't read but she sure was well
versed in racial epithets.

That's the problem. You don't see your comments for that they are.
*That's* a large part of your assumed superiority *and* ignorance.
>Oh, let me guess, you voted for Obama, didn't you?
And then you inevitably toss in some comment intended as an insult at
the end just to confirm what I've said.
You should know that I've experienced your crap in another newsgroup.
Same attitude with you thinking that you can say no wrong. I'm not a
sensitive person, but if something pisses me off, I don't hesitate to
reply. Almost like you replying, but for a different reason. And, a
different mind set when I reply.
