CUBEFANS STOLE My MONEY

[BeautifullyDecayed.]

really guys screw grammar i mean really if you just put it as one run on sentence you can still get your point across, although a comma every now and then would be nice, but really grammar isnt that important is it

I beg to differ.

If you can't be bothered to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation (GSP) when asking questions, why should the other members bother to respond?

You obviously aren't taking the time necessary to think out your use of the language, what should make us believe you took the time to think about the actual question?

I will rarely respond to people who 'typ lik dis' because they obviously are to lazy to type correctly, leading me to believe they are to lazy to have thought about their post and the question/content contained in it. Which further leads me to believe they were to lazy to do any research at all in order to answer it themselves.

So why would I bother to help someone out when they haven't made any decent effort to help themselves? (For example, google search, wiki search etc.)

If you aren't putting the time in to use proper GSP, why would I put my time in to give a decent well thought-out response to it?

To clarify, this post is directed towards people who have English as their first language, and still fail to speak/type it correctly. This post does not apply to people who are learning/do not know English.
However, something to point out, there are many people on this forum with English as a second language who still use better GSP then people who have it as their first language.

Sorry about this long rant, but it annoys me when people expect good responses to something they didn't bother to think out themselves.

I believe there is a difference between a run-on sentence with no punctuation, capitalization, or thought versus a few typos in a well thought-out post.

I'm just making a point. No one is perfect and until you are, don't expect others to be.

I know no one is perfect, and I am not expecting people to be. However, it is extremely easy to use proper GSP when typing, there is no time constraint when typing, there is no limit to number of times you can use the period key or the shift key. If you spend an extra 2 minutes to type a decent post and use proper GSP you will get a lot more respect.

Also, care to point out to me where in my posts I claimed to expect perfection?

Sorry, don't want to start anything here. Just saying, your grammar isn't the best yourself. Repetitive use of 'to' instead of 'too' isn't a typo when done three times in one paragraph. None-the-less this is becoming a series of pointless rants which are very off-topic from what the original poster has asked advice for.

This really isn't going anywhere, but the bottom line is:
Bad grammar/spelling/punctuation = Irritating for everyone trying to read it. Also, is despised and detested by me and many others.
Good GSP = More likely to elicit a response from people, as they do not have to struggle to read it.
People who do not have English as their first language = Somewhat excused from this, as they may not know English very well

The grammar debate has essentially derailed this thread, but I feel that this is the bottom line about grammar, spelling and punctuation.

I repeat...

Please point out to me where I claimed my grammar was the best?
Or where I said it is terrible/unacceptable to make mistakes?

Enough already.

Am I the only one that finds this argument funny?

No, I do too, considering she is claiming I say things when I didn't even imply them. It's quite humorous.

On-Topic: Be patient. It works.

Yet again...

No one has perfect grammar, no one expects anyone to have perfect grammar. As long as you try, that's what counts. Nitpicking every little detail doesn't help anything or anyone. End of discussion. (EDIT: Or at least what I feel is the end. I will not be "contributing" any more to this thread, as I feel that the point is moot, and it would just be "beating a dead horse".)

I too find it funny and agree with MonkeyDude.
Whenever posting i try use the best grammer i can (yes ok im not great at it). And when reading posts i would much rather read a few typos than huge errors/run on sentences. This way you know the poster is atleast making an effort when asking for help etc.

ON TOPIC: Im sure they didn't steal your money. Wait it out and you should get what you ordered.

 

[ElderKingpin]

wow. im sure the OP really cares about grammar, since he has not bothered to even reply or fix his first post. And the fact that people that are posting say "On-topic:..." means its a total waste of time to argue about it, you dont talk when you cube.

I have never tried Cube fans before, but i have seen people use it, im not sure why you would be singled out as a scam..

OK guys if this makes you happy,


On November 23rd I ordered a mf8 megaminx and I used the more expensive UPS shipping and cubefans hasn't even sent it to ups yet and it said it would take 1-3 days. Also i got an E-mail saying that the due date was last friday its almost been two weeks and UPS doesn't have it,but the billing information is received.So they already charged me and every time I try to contact them they dont respond so is it going to be delivered or not?

Why don't you contact the forum about your problem on the site you bought it from! Not us. We can't do anything about it.
The 1-3 days is an ESTIMATE of how long it will take AFTER UPS RECEIVES IT. Check their calender to see if there is a Chinese holiday.

 

[AndyRoo789]

I'm pretty sure you can track your order with UPS.

Try reading that post aloud. You still include some ridiculous run-ons.
