Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Well I wonder why you say that Mr Brow? anyway...I think it`s much more insulting to consistantly slag of a dyslexic for their spelling mistakes than to have your name be the victim of there mistakes.....God! some people are pathetic. p.s. I`m not insulted...I've come to terms with my stupid disease.

I don't see whether someone is dyslexic or not has any bearing on the claim that names are special to people. Your comment: >God knows some people are sooooo finickety, maybe I am doing it on >purpose....does it REALLY matter???? .... together with your normal word-play, certainly implied intention. An alternative response to criticism is to apologize for the mistake (whether under your control or not it would still be a mistake).

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 I though a spastic was someone who couldn't walk or had " motor control " problems. If that's what you have I sympathise with you. Funny you should say that cause aussies use it as an insult and people get the wrong end of the stick over here. I can see why, but there's no intension to defame minority groups. mr big [pervyempire] 09 May 2001 17:55 vegan-network Re: eyebrows Please forgive me for being a spastic! >Paul Philbrow <pp >vegan-network >vegan-network >Re: eyebrows >Wed, 9 May 2001 15:44:32 +0100 (BST) > > > " mr big " <pervyempire > >Wed, 09 May 2001 15:13:10 +0100 > > > >Well I wonder why you say that Mr Brow? > >I don't see whether someone is dyslexic or not has any bearing on the >claim that names are special to people. > >Your comment: > > >God knows some people are sooooo finickety, maybe I am doing it on > >purpose....does it REALLY matter???? > >... together with your normal word-play, certainly implied intention. > >An alternative response to criticism is to apologize for the mistake >(whether under your control or not it would still be a mistake). > >Paul >-- >Paul Philbrow >pp >http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~pp _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 You are right Rowan, spastic is used as a derogatory insult. I used it as an adjective to explain my " spastic " spelling. But I`m not insulted by it, it just explains how I have very little control over it. MrBIg _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
