Apprehensible
Capable of being understood: apprehensible truths.

Reprehensible
Deserving rebuke or censure; blameworthy. See Synonyms at blameworthy.

so what this person meant was morally reprehensible instead of apprehensible.

LOL! Yeah, that's what made me guffaw. If you are gonna try to start drama, at the VERY least use grammar that would illustrate a 4th grade level of intelligence or higher. Thanks.

The post about my grammar really hurt, I am rethinking my life and what I want to accomplish. I've realized my technical major with all its math, physics and that engineering crap is never going to get me anywhere. Therefore, today I went to campus and changed my major to english, communictaions, marketing or whatever bullshit major you have that is never going to get you a decent job. Thanks for helping me see the light!

And deepdown you know that crack about your useless major is true and you will spend the rest of your life making 40,000 dollars a year. The truth hurts doesn't it?

Don't let that winch get us off topic.

Ok, I think that you should apologize to the people directly involved in the situation. Otherwise people will accuse you of being morally aprehensible.

Sorry I couldn't resist!

What makes it worse is that Dionysus used the wrong word.

Winch
pulley, lever, etc.

Wench
(slang) witch, hag

so what Dionysus meant was "don't let that wench get us off topic," not "don't let that winch get us off topic."

You just may want to switch schools overall if they're offering english, communications , or marketing courses that teach grammar. Grammar is learned in elementary school.

Um...do you HAVE a job? Oh! Okay! Til then, don't worry about me!

As far as the truth? What truth is that? The truth that you are, in reality, some social pariah who cannot seem to overcome the loneliness of social rejection in any other way than to come start drama on GC? Yeah, that truth kinda stings.

And good to know that you are fully aware of the difference between winch and wench. I am sure you have had quite enough experience with the latter word to be able to decipher between the two

Now that is funny.

tau1819 · #29 07-26-2002, 02:06 PM

Wow observant1, at least everyone elses posts were funny/humorous. Yours was just stupid, proper grammar is very important in all of those majors.

SigmaChiCard · #30 07-26-2002, 02:14 PM

no, i'm going to have to agree with observ...is it important, definitely....but if in any of my courses my instructors started with grammar...i def switch classes...could be a little slow paced.....anyway, it'd be like my modern physics professor talking about gravity.....a little something expected when you come in
