Communication Problems: "that's an argument in its favor... How?" Please try to avoid over-using that sentence structure. It is counter productive. "How is that an argument in its favor?" is the way to say the same thing without sounding childish and overly combative. I understand you are in Italy and so your exposure to the English language may be limited. To a native English speaker this phrasing is reserved for combative and immature conversations. The internet is full of combative and immature conversations, but it has been getting better very quickly, which is why your wording sounds like a holdover from 2000.
Wow. This is such an embarrassing post. This level of condescension (and language snottery) is a much greater internet sin than a bit of saucy phrasing. Perhaps it was a knee jerk reaction to getting called out for uninformed posting? It happens to the best of us…but I hope you do better next time.
Actually no, the way Tuco speaks is embarrassing for anyone who is not a non-English speaker. Look at how he keeps using the same tortured phrase over and over. Look at the word "Italy" under his name. He's obviously not a native English speaker, he probably practiced and learned from the internet (poor soul). You guys are doing him a disservice by not recognizing this impediment and trying to help him out.
Because other people, who don't recognize the international nature of this forum, are just going to write him off as an ass.
He's obviously a passionate and reasonable individual who could contribute and be heard better if his wording didn't get in the way.
I'm actually quite proud I explained to him why he sounds like an ass when he's trying to communicate, a lesser poster would have just gotten mad at Tuco for talking like he's in some space alien debate team.
This dumb thread is number 5 when someone shows up to the forums to learn what everyone's talking about, and it's repulsive to read even though I agree with the main gist.
