A: a Vox Continetal
B: a Hammond B3
c: a Gibson G101
or D: a Fender Rhode?

Oh jesus, i dont know, im going to go with B: a Hammond B3
I hope ive not lost out on the $50
He never looks at the keyboard when he’s playing tho.
lol
nope, trick question.
he played all of them EXCEPT the B3
the reason? all of the other ones were electronic portable organs while the Hammond, though sounding better was a heavy tonewheel organ and was too difficult to use for traveling concerts hahahaha i’m a nerd

Dang, i could of drank that $50

It does get cold alright, the higher up you get the colder it gets in winter & even when the suns really blazing the sea is still absolutely freezing!
lol, it never gets cold here, not so bad that it cansnow or anything, wev’e had one blizzard in 15 years and that was in ‘93
Waw, last yr it was nearly always snowy in winter, it sticks as well, its great, every kid owns a sledge & they get their moneys worth.
Summer is nice though but the temp doe vary depending where you are.
What state are you in that doesnt get cold?
Ive never been to the US but i will visit, id want a cpl of months at least to see it though, couldnt try to cram it all into a cpl of weeks.
The scenery is amazing, absolutely stunning, there is solitude, get some good wildlife. Get good weather sometimes.

No1 is forcing you to be on here, your more than welcome to leave if you dont like it!
No one is forcing you to write like a chimpanzee with dyslexia, either, but that doesn’t stop you.
Besides, I’m here to help others, so I have a reason to be on this site. What’s your reason for participating in the textual equivalent of trying to speak with a golf ball-sized hole in your tongue?
What’s the matter with you? If you’re here to help people, stop being so stuck up and accept the way people type to each other. If we can all understand what the message says, what does it matter that it isn’t 100% coherent? Stop being so anal retentive and don’t bother replying unless you actually have anything positive to contribute.
Lots of love,
Simbad, 16.

Leave then, nobody invited you here, you don’t like it - leave, it’s a simple solution.
No help required on this post, by it’s title i don’t know what made you think there was.
Now if you dont mind the rest of us on here will get back to saying whatever we want in whatever way we want.

What gives you the right to come on to someone else’s post & start to critisize?
Nobody asked you your oppinion, i think thats seriously rude of you to be quite honest & i am now less interested in any spelling or punctuation mistakes that may of been made & more interested - in fact - appauled, that you think you have the right to do that!
There are people on here of all ages, education levels & nationalities, how can you justify yourself & your actions?
Frankly, i am disgusted by you sir, bad manners is a much worse infliction to have than bad spelling / punctuation / grammar etc.
Did i somehow miss when registering to this site the part that said everyone has to have impeccable spelling etc, i know i didn’t see it.
Your attitude stinks, if i were you id be looking into trying to do something about that instead of insulting other people.
Look a bit closer to home next time you feel the need to be critical!
I would much rather converse with a person of limited spelling ability than a person with no manners what so ever that thinks they have a right to come to someone else’s post & behave in such a disgusting fashion.
There’s no help needed here. That’s true. There’s no rule that says those who wish to help have to stay away from any post that doesn’t request it. I made a comment directed at no one in particular. You took offense, and decided to confront me about it. Responding in kind is perfectly in line with the rules of the site. Besides, helping others by pointing out the importance of proper spelling and grammar is more in line with the purpose of the site than whining about being corrected.
So, if you don’t mind, I won’t leave. I’ll just get back to… how did you put it?
Saying whatever I want in whatever way I want.

That would be the First Amendment.

No one asked you for yours, either, you realize. Thank you for your somewhat-constructive criticism, though. And still… First Amendment. I do have the right. Just as you do. Thank you!
Sam. wrote:

Not that I actually need to justify it, but I can, so I will. If you look at the educational levels of the majority of the people on Earth, they have been steadily dropping. Due, no doubt, at least in part, to the drop in emphasis put on reading and writing. By pointing out that typing like that is not “cool”, and in fact makes the user in question look like they have a learning difficulty, maybe I can do some small part to either raise the cumulative global IQ by a fraction of a point, or at least let those who type like that know that I, for one, am not impressed.

Duly noted. Thank you for your opinion.

No, it’s not a rule. Just proper etiquette. Which, oddly enough, you should pride if you’re attacking someone for “bad manners”.
I think the above addresses everything else, as it’s mostly a repeat of what was already stated. I’ll leave it at that instead of repeating myself.
Thanks for sharing your views.

Furthermore, i must point out that this can be seen as bullying, in my eyes that also is much worse than spelling mistakes.
Who are you to insult people that may have dyslexia? Which i might add does not make a person stupid or a fair target for bullies, there are some extremely clever people in this world that have dyslexia.
As a rule i generally do not critisize others but i have witnesed bullying before & this is the reason that i intervened, i think it is completely unfair of you & this post is by far not the worst on help.com for mistakes, i am not trying to say mistakes are good, just trying to state that bullying is very bad.
Couldnt “proper etiquette” also include not being rude & bad mannered & not bullying or name calling?
I assume by your own intervention on this post that you see yourself as being better than others, you are the only person on here that has resorted to name calling, if your IQ is so high i fail to understand why you would feel the need to resort to name calling and targeting a particular learning disability in the same sentence, that to me made you lose any credibility that you may of had & makes me doubt your IQ level as people whth a high IQ can pass comment, converse & get their point accross without the need to sink down to name calling that is seen as something lesser educated people do for lack of a better option.
This was a fun, light hearted post, it was of no serious matter, this was not an IQ test & i have read through every comment on here & there is not one that i can not understand so i must say, again, that your comments were unnecessary & unfair, as you say you come here to help i can’t help but come to the conclusion that in the time it took you to read this entire thread & then contribute your bullying, you surely could of done something more constructive with your time, e.g help a post that needed it.
Im quite sure you will turn my last comment back around to me, so i will point out that i am helping to stick up for the people that you have targeted to bully.
Ask the Mods. If they think I’m a bully, they can ban me. Granted, after saying far worse than that over the last two years, I don’t think they mind.
If they have dyslexia, fine. They can say so and I’ll apologize. However, most people don’t. Do you? Either way, a dyslexic typing is going to go about as well as a midget on a basketball team. Nothing wrong with being either, but expect criticism.
Yeah, I’ve witnessed bullying before, too. And not the little name-calling bullsh*t either. That’s teasing, not bullying. Bullying is getting your head kicked into a urinal when you’re in sixth grade. Or jumped by three guys when you’re walking home from school. Maybe having had to deal with ACTUAL bullying has given me a thick enough skin to handle some mean little words on a screen without throwing a hissy fit.
Name calling? What, that quote you have up there? That’s what we call a simile, dear. A figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, usually using “like” or “as”. If you’d paid attention in fifth grade English, you’d know that. You may want to look up metaphors, too, but so far, you haven’t given any indication that you have a problem there.
I never said anything about my IQ being high. I’m saying too many other people are below average. God forbid I try to teach them something.
Name calling, IQ, IQ, name calling… Another thing you might want to think about is your reading comprehension. The majority of your last post is addressing two points I never made. Moving on.
Yes, it was a light-hearted post. It would have remained so if someone hadn’t decided to get their knickers in a twist over a benign statement directed at no one in particular.
Again with the bullying nonsense. Point me to the definition of bullying that lists correcting or criticizing as a form of bullying, and I’ll file a petition to have every teacher, councilor, law enforcement official and politician fined and fired for inappropriate conduct.
Now if you’re done having a tantrum, move on and defend someone who needs defending against something worth defending against. Save a kitten from a tree, gravity is more hazardous to it than my text is to anyone.
