Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I wonder if this song has popped into the heads of anyone who had a hand in making the mess with the "new" new rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0ckr0ach, SASS #26100 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The problem with SASS Rules is NOT lack of good intent or sincerity, but that no one writing seems to know the Rules of American English grammar and do not bother to check the definition of the words chosen. What is obvious to one group of individuals is not necessarily obvious to another group of individuals. That is why correct American English needs to be used. While this is difficult, it is necessary. The main in source of Rules issues, I fear. Of course, this is just my opinion ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's BS...some of "us" do know American English...but we don't always prevail against those who might not. Basic reading comprehension (or lack thereof) is another factor. Those who aren't aware of all that goes on in the background regarding rule changes/clarifications/modifications would best keep their "freedom of speech" in check. IMO The idea that all opinions are valid is flawed when they are based on incorrect assumptions and ignorance.

Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I get cha PW.... It is absolutely ridiculous and a slap in the face, referring to Coakroach's statement. but if you taint ever been around the inner workings of SASS, that would make you just ignorant instead of stu%%%%. folk have lil or no idea the amount of work the ROC puts in, for FREE!!!!

Of course, this is just my opinion ! if you had ever sat in on a rule wording change or intent to change at the TG meetings at the SASS convention you may not have said what you stated above, the definition of each word and how it may be read by others is highly considered, over and over and over and over did I happen to mention over and over till the cows come home true fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0ckr0ach, SASS #26100 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Based on PWB's comment "but we don't always prevail against those who might not." seems to confirm my observation. My comment was not aimed at anyone's integrity. And I stated I recognized the task is difficult, but necessary . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
