Forum Rules: here

Wow! You made it! Here you are in the Admissions and Orientation Department of Tweb! This is where the rubber first hits the road; where the pedal first hits the metal; where the nuts come out of the woodwork to make sure you feel at home here.

The Admissions area is only for welcome posts to announce the arrival of a new inmate resident, and we encourage you to leave here and head out into the great big wide world of Tweb as soon as you feel comfortable in your new username.

Be sure to reply to your welcome thread, or introduce yourself if our welcome committee is out to lunch or painting their living room.

      Actually, I never said or implied you were a beginner. In fact, I was trying to imply that you are past the point of beginner correction, because native speakers will correct big issues, but not smaller issues.

        I'm only cutting out the rest because I only wish to respond to epithet. Epithet may have been spelled with two Es in some old writings but that is because English did not have universal spelling before the modern era. Lots of words were spelled in a variety of ways, for example, at the time of the founding fathers in the eighteenth century. That does not mean it is the current spelling. I mean, if you want to spell like an 18th century Englishman, whatevs.

        ETA: you may be wanting for a division between regular and final S, though. You could always use f for your regular S.

          Thank you so humbly! :)

          No, I can't.

          Spelling and ductus are two things and I find it horrid when f is used instead of the long s.

          Sorry for not living up to expectations ... :/

              Well, hansgeorg, I think you have some refreshing insights to offer, and I hope you stick around. This can be a fun community, but it helps to have a thick skin. I noticed your comment on the world flood and the Alps, and it might be interesting if you brought that up in the Natural Science 301 section, if you don't mind a heated discussion. Personally, I always like to learn how other people view things, even if I disagree with them.

                  yeah Hans! I think you are a bit wacky, but I like you. We are all wacky around here to a certain extent. Just be careful of the blog links and you will do fine.

                  PS, you can put links to your blogs in your signature block, which you can edit here:

                          You are welcome. The reason we don't allow personal links in the message body itself is because if there ends up being something wrong with the link, we would have to go through and edit every post with that link, but if it is in the signature, then if we have to change it, we can just change it in the signature block and it changes it everywhere.

                              There was one time when I changed three blog urls.

                              I am not doing it again.

                              If I can avoid it at all.

                              When I link, it is usually to a particular post, and therefore the url I give is unique. Also, as I have 36 blogs, I am obviously not linking to the same one each time.

                              Links not to "personal" links also go awry.
