Could we please have a generation of tweens that are not stupid, just one, is that totoo much to ask for.

Well, I expect tweens to be kinda stupid but I've been kidding myself about the average Videosifter's ability to write correctly, which is, I believe, symptomatic of intelligence. Oh well.

I was curious to see if you ever made a mistake while writing English.
Took 30 seconds to find this gem.

I'd just like to say that I have no opinion about this video. I am apathetic like you read about.

I used to be like: "come on... bieber's just a kid doing his thing, leave him be. who gives a fuck?"

but since after I watched an interview with him last week in which he said, and I shit you not, he had made his latest album (a christmas one) because god had come to him in a dream, and told him to.

Fuck you bieber. FUCK YOU. I'm all aboard the Bieber hate-train now.

you honestly think that writing ability ( I assume you mean grammar and spelling rather than inherent logic) is a good metric for sum-ones intelligence ?

Also surely intelligence Is not important , so long as sum-one is making a truthful comment or something that is not detrimental.

No, but being able to write correctly is symptomatic of intelligence. Just what I said.

You're a grown man picking on children that are still developing their minds. Sit back and bask in that.

LOL! That's what I get for trying to use an idiom, a very new idiom, granted, but an idiom nonetheless. Some idioms only work when you say them aloud and this is one of them.

I'm going to come off as a bit nutty typing this all out but nutty is a label I'm ok with.

When people say "like you read about" they're being emphatic and pointed. For instance, I might say, "I'm fuckin' cold like you read about." People who've taken the time to write books and articles about tundra wasteland and life above the arctic circle typically don't spend that time on the page writing about how warm it is. When someone takes the time to read such a book or article, they walk away knowing something about chilly weather. It typically only works with extreme states: extreme cold, extreme heat, or in my case extreme apathy. So what I'm really saying with "like you read about" is an attempt to express solidarity with the writer of such books/articles.

Capice? I'm not surprised you may not have heard about it but all these sayings had to come from somewhere, no?

Without context, I admit, it reads kind of wrong. Oh well. I forgive you, Boise.

@shuac

Ohh, thanks for forgiving me.
And, thanks so much for explaining the obvious to me.
Let me explain simply--as you don't seem to get it.

@zeoverlord made a mistake and you assumed that he is stupid.
I tried to show you that everyone--even people as vastly intelligent as yourself--can make a mistake (in this case a clumsy sentence).

Did he make a typo?
You don't know--you don't ask--you don't care--He's Stupid!

Is English his second language?
You don't know--you don't ask--you don't care--He's Stupid!

It seems you assume that you are already of superior intelligence--do you have any room left in your huge brain for empathy?

Gah, I just can't like any of this guys videos. It's like he is trying to be Penn Jillette and just not pulling it off very well.

Shuac will be a grammar prick, just as Westy will use incorrect spelling. You might as well get comfortable with it.

1. yes a typo, i sometimes type to fast for my own good, to and too is too similar to type correctly 100% of the time, i fixed it though when it was pointed out.
Also them being both valid words means the little red wavy lines didn't help here.

2. Yes, English is a second language for me, Swedish is my first, though oddly enough i do seem to make more spelling errors when typing in Swedish.

And for what it's worth my IQ is about 140 so i do think I'm smarter than you, but that's just how i roll.
I just try to not be a dick about it.

It's like the great saying "if your in the habit of pissing on fences eventually your going to end up in front of an electrified one".

I don't "use" incorrect spelling I'm simply retarded.

IQ tests are not a very good way to prove absolute intelligence they can only evaluate how good sum one is at taking any given IQ test . There is a really interesting history with IQ tests and how societies have valued "intelligence" and just the whole thing in general.

I know you were not making argument ether way , but my view is that traditoinal inteligence as per IQ test ablity , is something that comes way down the list of what I would value in sum one.
