RUBY GRAMMAR

[Nikolai Weibull]

Nikolai,
you haven't to help me if you don't want.

Yeah, I know that; well before you posted three messages saying so. And
yet I want to help, so I did. I posted a message with suggestions on
alternative routes you may try in finding the answers you seek. I admit
that my tone wasn=E2=80=99t the friendliest that I sport, but it wasn=E2=80=
=99t my
rudest one either.

I post here one of my problems, ok? If there are someone would help me
he is wellcome, therefore don't worry.

Well, I do worry. I worry that you won=E2=80=99t actually learn anything=
from
your examination, and I worry that you won=E2=80=99t pass your course if =
you
don=E2=80=99t actually know anything about the course=E2=80=99s contents.=
I worry that
this list will be flooded with requests for doing people=E2=80=99s homewo=
rk, and
I worry about why my stomach doesn=E2=80=99t seem to like me putting food=
in it.
I worry about what=E2=80=99s going to happen to me after I die, and I wor=
ry
about how much longer Jamba is going to be able to have commercials on
television, because I seriously can=E2=80=99t take it any more. (And I f=
ear
that they=E2=80=99ll be able to for quite some time to come =E2=80=93 whi=
ch doesn=E2=80=99t help
my stomach, I=E2=80=99m sure.)

You don't know my teacher and my situation!

No, I don=E2=80=99t. But you didn=E2=80=99t hint at any of this in your =
original mail,
which makes me think that it isn=E2=80=99t as bad as you hint at in this =
one.
If you have a problem with your teacher, perhaps you should take it up
with him or her. It=E2=80=99s their job to make sure that you learn, aft=
er all.

Don't worry for me, please.

Then please adhere to the advice I have already given you.

thank you

No worries, happy to help.

First of all, if I posted three same messages, that would be because of
the connection problem. Do you understand? I am not the person to
repeat same things to emphasize. I felt not good when I read what you
wrote toward me. I am originally a gentle person who treats others good
but you are not a kind person. So I have to change my attitude towards
you from now on.

Well, I do worry. I worry that you won't actually learn anything from
your examination, and I worry that you won't pass your course if you
don't actually know anything about the course's contents. I worry that
this list will be flooded with requests for doing people's homework, and
I worry about why my stomach doesn't seem to like me putting food in it.
I worry about what's going to happen to me after I die, and I worry
about how much longer Jamba is going to be able to have commercials on
television, because I seriously can't take it any more. (And I fear
that they'll be able to for quite some time to come - which doesn't help
my stomach, I'm sure.)

You abused me wiothout knowing me and understanding my situation. I
have problems only with RUBY grammar, you see? Do not disrespect me any
more. I won't deserve it. Moreover this course is from Java, not from
compiler. I have no problems with Java at all!

What is the reason for this board existing? I thought this was born for
those who are in need of help.
If a person like you keep spitting bad words here, I am without words!

No, I don't. But you didn't hint at any of this in your original mail,
which makes me think that it isn't as bad as you hint at in this one.
If you have a problem with your teacher, perhaps you should take it up
with him or her. It's their job to make sure that you learn, after all.

You haven't to know my situation. I post a message of help here and
ONLY persons want to help me write here, ok?

Then please adhere to the advice I have already given you.


No worries, happy to help.

Thank you of all!
Please, don't worry for me, ok?
I have no more free time to replying to your bullshits.
I have to study for this exam!

I would agree, but.....

Ian,
I had ONLY ask an advise, I don't want nobody that write me code. Don't
worry. Isn't my first examination. I had a problem and I thinked people
here can help me!
I thinked people here could write problems and can help other persons.

I always help persons that need help without ask him "why do you have
do this?".
My project isn't write a Ruby Grammar, because the subject is JAVA, not
RUBY. I haven't to learn RUBY, ok? I don't know if you understand what
I write! Isn't a COMPILER EXAMINATION, but is a JAVA EXAMINATION, ok?
Do you know difference? Ok!

When we have work problems do you use forums? and why I can't?
Well... can explain me when a person CAN write in a virtually community
like this?

Another thing: witch problem have you with Italian? Thank you!

Only this.
Don't worry... my problem I resolv myself...

Actually, I believe that mr Hobson was defending you. English isn't my

first language, so I suppose I could have misunderstood that, but...

Wow! What happened there?

Wow! What happened there?

I dunno, but it reminded me of a recent post on the XP mailing list -

I'm not sure what the current theory is, but when I was studying
rhetoric, the generally-accepted rule of thumb seemed to be that it
was 80% speaker, 20% hearer.

My rule of thumb is that when I'm the speaker, the speaker is
100% responsible; and when I'm the listener, the listener is 100%
responsible.

Which I thought was an interesting progression....

No. I obviously don't understand. And here we are with two new
identical messages. Perhaps you shouldn't be pressing "Send" repeatedly
in Gmail/Google Groups?

You abused me wiothout knowing me and understanding my situation. I

Well, if you don't have any problems with Java either, then what's the
issue here?

What is the reason for this board existing? I thought this was born for

So far it's been all you with the bad words. But if you are now without
words, I'd gladly put this thread to rest.

You haven't to know my situation. I post a message of help here and
ONLY persons want to help me write here, ok?

It obviously doesn't work that way. You still haven't explained your
situation, so there's really no reason for you to keep up the charade of
being a victim here.

I have to study for this exam!

Good luck.
