Go forth with your higher grasp of language and don't bother reading guides, you will do fine I'm sure.
It's overly critical (and incredibly dim witted) comments like yours that cause people not to bother providing guides for the community in the first place. Way to go shooting yourself in the foot with your snobby attitude.
I could agree with this if the author in question was Yoda (you know, a ******* old alien) and not some lazy ass.

Cuzz homie otherwyze liek know1 dat reedz dis; wud tayc for cereass i hav too saye 4 shyt an riteley soh. The level of stupidity is getting startlingly high. Lady Spank is right, Garmon's guide is pretty much the defacto manual for nullsec Taranis/blaster frigate combat. My own little effort focusses more on Rifters and low security space but a lot of the tactics discussed are relevant to null sec as well: http://www.rifterdrifter.com/rifter-pvp-guide.And the Failheap Challenge thread linked above is an excellent place to get inspiration. Watch videos by Garmon (well, Garmonation 7a at least), Zach Donnell, and - of course - Prometheus Exenthal to get a good idea of how to solo.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by your first sentence, but since you've quoted me and not solely Spank, I can only assume it's directed at me.
My point is not that the author is/was incorrect, rather it is/was about the irony of having someone go through all the trouble to actually write down all their knowledge/experience with such horrible language skills that it is just not worth deciphering or even worth taking seriously for people. |

If there was a sandscrit document somewhere that detailed how to actually, for real, 100% turn lead into gold, proven over and over, would it be worth learning a dead language to decipher?

And studies have shown that spelling is actually pretty unimportant in communication within a given language, first and last letter and all that.
Would you be so kind as to reference your source(s) and also reference ways languages are deciphered/translated? |

Not to say it can't be done and wouldn't be worth it mind you, but its effort for a result I'm not all that interested in obtaining.
I can understand being too lazy to want to continue, but to claim that backing up your claims would be for my behalf is erroneous at best. |

This is an example of what some lazy people are vehemently trying to accomplish. The right to completely ignore any/all rules of a language, if allowed to propogate, makes (at a minimum) written communication nearly impossible, as not only are there no rules to base assumptions on to begin deciphering what one person has written, the process must be done over seven billion more times, as everyone else also has their very own special unique snowflake way of writting their own personal language.
