See, even this time, I kind of thought you were kidding.  Maybe writing in
some jokey fake accent ala "Meester, would you like to meet my seester?"

You mean an apostrophe... and an "e".

Wow.  The word is "facetious".  You got the first and last two letters
right.

Well, how many times would you be able to understand each sentence without
re-reading it half a dozen times?  If you know that he's being rude, he's
expressing himself quite well because you were able to understand both his
message and something of his tone and intent.  With your posts, many times
I have a very hard time determining the message at all.

Now, while you are just going to dismiss this is as rudeness (if you even
read this post at all), I think you would do well to ponder Mike's
relevant and interesting question (which I'll paraphrase): If you can't
understand and apply the mechanics you were taught in English class, how
are you going to learn anything in a Linux or Cisco cert course?

Wow, again.  You DO realize the names on those emails are fake, right?

Huh?!?  Rob's not much older than you are.  Hell, he might not be older
than you at all if, as your academics seem to imply, you spent six or
seven years in high school before attending PSU.
