I know rulers but I donk know why you write text long as book.
I don't know if you were responding to me or to
@Thunderdome but I can tell you that I agree with him when he states
Some of us like to be to the point, concise, and fully detailed when we make our statements.
and I also agree that
It [generally] shows that the person took the time to prepare his or her statement, took the time to make the necessary changes as needed, and took the time to fully explain their points to lessen the possibility of asking questions that the answer might have presented itself but wasn't concise enough to be understood.
I'd like to add that I took the time to answser you with seriousness, courtesy, and no small amount of patience. Yet you chose to insult me by writing the following:
I know rulers but I donk know why you write text long as book.
I tried to take into consideration that you're reading and writing in a language you've already admitted is not your first language. Furthurmore, I tried to be nice even though I was already more than halfway convinced that you are just bored and want people to pay attention to you.
My backstory may seem irrelevant to some but in this case, I think it's really quite pertinent. My mother was French and never quite shook her heavy, French accent her whole life. She was a WWII orphan and had very little formal education outside of classes taught in a small orphanage in the countryside of France for a few years when she was still a fairly young girl. She met my first-generation American father (military) who also came from a spotty formal education and they really helped each other. She learned to read in English by reading comic books and her spelling was always phonetic. One of their favorite pastimes was to play Scrabble! They never seemed to be bored by trying to outdo one another on their command of the language and it's plethora of rules and exceptions to those rules. My father's education may have been in America but like a lot of first-generation Americans, he lived in a 3-generation household (with 4 languages) with grandparents who never learned to speak English and parents who also had heavy accents. Yet somehow all of these people managed to teach two little girls - me and my sister - not only how to speak, read, and write in English, but we both went on to finish high school, college, and do post-bacclaureate work.
Despite so many stereotypes of things that non-native English speakers find challenging, idioms and idiomatic expressions not being the least of them, they were not something our family has as much trouble with and I'm not sure why except that we all loved words, word games, riddles, and anything to do with language and how interesting it was and could be.
What I'm saying is that I was
raised to believe you and you make a mockery of it by pretending to misunderstand my (our) meanings and reply to our sincere and very factual answers with sarcasm. I think you understand idioms very well so here's one for you:
I wash my hands of you. That one's practically International.
