Oct 22, 2015 Yeah but intentionally being obtuse isn't the same thing as trying to help someone with their second language
Oct 22, 2015 You know grs is ESL who cares how he f---ing describes Kenny's performance like what the f---?
Oct 22, 2015 I don't know what ESL means :/ But again, what's wrong with helping someone learn to express themselves in English properly? If a kid told you 2+2=5 would you consider it a d-ck move to explain that its 4?
Oct 22, 2015 So when i let him know he's made a mistake, it's infringing on his right to express himself But if I'd have told him specifically what adjective to use instead, it would have been fine? That's the most backwards logic I've ever heard. In school when a teacher told you you made a mistake did you throw a fit on the grounds of the first amendment? It's a simple mistake, and saying "hey guy this isn't how you use that word" isn't negative in the slightest, because you're helping them better themselves at a language
Oct 22, 2015 Now it would have been one thing if I'd have gone "lol grs ur such an idiot you didn't know how to use this word" but instead i told him that the word mature doesn't work like that.
Oct 22, 2015 Dude The point is you should have not said anything, save the grammar lesson for ACTUAL teachers.... And yes it would have been better had you took the time to talk about it with him...you just wanted to be a d-ck
Oct 22, 2015 "Don't ever help anyone because it's not your job. Don't teach someone something because you're not a teacher. Don't pick up trash unless you're a janitor." -you rn And its extremely presumptuous for you to assume i was trying to be a d-ck. Tbh it's more of a d-ck move to spend two pages antagonizing someone for helping someone with their non-native language
Oct 22, 2015 *passed. You use passed when it's an action, and past whenever its a time. Again, not even trying to be a d-ck. I do the same for koolo and pato
Oct 22, 2015 This victim mindset is what caused the entire conflict. I genuinely dislike you and have made this openly clear, but that won't stop me from having the basic human decency to help someone. In my eyes, taking the time to explain a concept to someone who doesn't quite get it is in the same vein as helping someone cross the road, it's just courtesy. When you see someone helping a disabled person across the street do you go "how patronizing!" and get all huffy? Yes you have the right to freely express your opinions, but your statement, i assume, was a genuine mistake and one that you would likely have repeated for the rest of your life had someone not stopped and taken the time to better your understanding of the word. I'm not lording over you like "oh look at me i happened to be raised in an English speaking country so I'm more well versed in it than you" I'm just correcting a mistake.
