WWIII

[Bard A Madsen]

How long have I? How long have I what?

Your... I think you mean you're.


Do you see what I mean? You're not making any sense. Don't take it the wrong way, either. I'm just trying to help.

I will assume you are just trying to help.   I get in more trouble talking that way and come off very condescending.  The way I see it, is that one should very well know what I am talking about and I shorten it as not to loose the attention of the message or typically people blow me off.  English was and is my worse subject (all my life) and have always had difficulty recalling the spelling of a word, I can not spell at all verbally as one would in a spelling bee.   I can not visualize the word in my mind's eye, but I can "see" mechanical movement (in my mind's eye).  See, how spelling things out repetitively is  frivolous and demeaning?  Plus, it did not help to spend most of my life alone, I have always had a girl friend(s), but worked solo and spent most of my time by myself, so much so, that when I did work with others they would use or ask a name for a tool and it would almost be alien to me because I hardly ever had to associate it with a name.  I appreciate what your trying to get at, but without being much more specific I doubt it will sink in.  And it is mainly because in real life as in face to face when I spell it out for someone they get angry and start saying stuff like I think they are stupid which is the furthest thing from the truth, I just want them to do the job correctly so that I will not come unglued when they want their money for something they have now screwed up.  See, I even repeated myself as other people say you must do to get people to remember what you just said, as in, say what you want to say and then say it again, to me that is rude, I said it, if you were not listening oh well.  Right?  Or is it right about what ?  My answer was yes, in the Middle East, about oil and religion in general.  Oh, and one part that was cryptic and fragmented is that I wrote a book that explains all this religious conflict is not a conflict after all and if everyone would read it and understand it then the world wouldn't have that extra problem, but atlas they will never read nor head the message!  It is not my problem that the reader will not slow down and understand the message and get over getting to the end of the sentence but missing the content.
