I've frequently seen indications of this both on forums(lol) and ingame(lol) and i cant refrain from making this post any longer.
nr1
"Minerals i mine myself are free." lets see...(heavily simplifyed) someone has self-mined minerals worth 100k isk... then manufactures an item.. wich he sells for 90k isk...
possible profit=100% \o/
actual profit=90% /o\
wtf?! why!??! why do people biuld items and sell them AT LESS PROFIT then it would have generated to JUST SELL THE MINERALS?!?!
i'm not even getting in to "datacores i get from my own R&D agents are free to" stuff
nr2
pvpers that are all like "wtf carebear stuffs gimmi more ships to pew pew yarr " (QR features any1 lol?)
omfg?! "eve is a pvp game" "dont play unless you want to pvp"
lets see with this one...
pvp=ships to fly needed
ships=player built
whait.. what? PLAYERS build the ships that pvpers blow up?? eve has huge player driven industry going on? that couldn't possibly be the case could it?
maybe there's a need to develope this industry system just like the combat system?
I'm NOT sayng people ARE stupid, just that some people SEEM TO BE stupid (ppl that seem stupid might be it to ofc)
I'm also NOT saying this applys to everyone, i'm just hoping for some one giving me back my faith in players IQ
I won't say i'm not trolling hoping no one will call me a troll 'cause that would make me stupid |

please do not try to correct the stupid/ignorant players, they provide profit and fun targets for the rest of us.

Wrong. Many today feel that starting a sentence with "and", in the appropriate context, is just fine.

True, people do. So he is wrong in saying that people don't do it. However, he is correct that doing so is incorrect.

Have to correct by saying that my statement "you never" implies the context of rules, not opinion

Actually, the rule "Don't start sentences with a conjunction" is erroneous.
Language is the method through which people communicate. The purpose of communication is the transfer of meaning from one person to the next. The rules of language are defined by how the lanugage is used. The rules come AFTER the use of language, not before.
If someone starts a sentense with AND, and the person listening understands the meaning of the sentense, then successful communication has occurred. This is a way in which English is used, and so should be reflected in the rules, rather than disallowed.
The only "rule" that is left now, is that some people (language snobs) will look down on you if you "break" their little rule. If this isn't a problem for you, then good, but if such a snob is a potential empolyer / client, then you should be aware of it.
And yes, everyone is stupid to some extent... anyone who says differently is simply more stupid than average. |

This is true, but the discussion was taken into the technical discussion by the initial aggression, towards the use of "a lot" as a single word, and as such my reply towards the use of "and" in the beginning of the sentence was valid. |
