By constantly trying one ends up succeeding. Thus: the more one fails the more one has a chance to succeed.

he he! I hate it when someone takes my posts, breaks it into pieces and tries to analyze my thoughts when they post is just a general statement to be taken as a whole!
by Jamie Robertson
If it was, why aren't java "white paper" articles using this notation?
by Dave
I hate the short forms except for the standard 'LOL' type ones.
by Roy
no, i wouldnt use short forms writing to my boss but i wouldnt use these words either:
I don't wanna (Valentin)
i cudn't (Jamie)
the point is im not writing here to my boss nor i am writing a resume!
it has nothing to do with laziness but just for the sake of argument ill admit im lazy
by Valentin bartender
"wanna" IS in every respectable American English dictionary
David O'Meara bartender
there's no such thing as 'American English'
by Valentin
from some link:
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
blah blah ....It does not have to be stiff or formal, in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
by Ashik uzzaman
I did not consider the topic so much important or seroius so far....
by Ravish
actually man is itself basically lazy
.
.
Yes I am lazy and i believe that human is lazy, he invent for lazyness, whatever s/he does is for lazyness, even he works for lazyness(limit of lazyness)
by Ravish
that is the reason I laugh when I see don't, as it is not worth for keyboard .. when u r writing it on paper with pen then I will perfer don't over do not.
by Ravish
belive me "plz" and "pls" are being used in so called profesional letters/mail also.
by Ravish
are you 40+ ?
by Thomas Paul
And yes I'm 40+. Are you 12-?
Warning 1:
As a bartender for javaranch I will tell you that short forms are not acceptable here.
Warning 2:
if English is not your native language, and you have several people for whom English is their native language telling you that this means of communicating in English is not proper, why wouldn't you just accept it?
It is a professional site ... where smilies are allowed ...
The problem with us is that we do not want to change with time.
"Contraction" - Thank you Jason!
By Valentin
I wonder if short forms are...cute and fun
Smilies are cute and fun,
By Jamie
Javaranch site will not look professional and informative

Can somebody explain what the following equation means: cos(u + v) = cos(u).cos(v)-sin(u).sin(v) ???
---
Roy's answer:
y? that's ez. First u add u and v together and then v are going to develop the eq using trig id. blablabla. Finally, v got cos of u * cos of v min sin of u * sin of v. v are pretty sure that u can understand this coz it is very ez
---
Translation:
why ? that's easy. First you add you and we together and then we are going to develop the equation using trigonometric identities. blablabla. Finally, we got cos of you times cos of we minus sin of you times sin of we. We are pretty sure that you can understand this because it is very easy.

AAMOF YMMV, but AFAIC and AFAICT and AFAIK LOL is for LOL. But FBOW, ISTR, LOL is also for LOL, LOL and LOL.
if you get these TLAs then YGIAGAM, if you don't then you are VI and I'll TSWC .
TMK it's CWOT, as TTBOMK it's not IOTTMCO.
MTCW.

As a matter of fact your mileage may vary, but as far as I'm concerned and as far as I can tell and as for as I know LOL is for Lots of Love. But for better or worse I seem to recall LOL is also for Laugh out loud, Lots of Luck and Laughing Out Loud.
If you get these three letters acronyms then your guess is as good as mine. If you don't then you are village idiot and I'll tell someone who cares.
To my knowledge it's complete waste of time as to the best of my knowledge it's not intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.
My two cents worth.
- grin
- big grin
- Very big grin
acronym courtesy
By Ravish
I have not seen any "haven't" at any of the other litreature that I frequent.Perhaps they are the standard at the litreature where you normally spend your time?
from some link:
It's = contraction of "it is" Proper usage: "It's too early to tell if this will become the accepted method." Notice that it is rather informal to use "it's" in a professional paper. Better to write out "it is."
By Angela
As for things like LOL, BTW etc ... OK SOME people still don't understand this, but I'm prepared to guide them to a useful site that will help them out, since these are fun and widely used abbreviations for phrases rather than individual words.
By Valentin
it means that the world is very sick, sick of carrying damn lazy people who are not able to use their fingers correctly.
By Valentin
And allow me to doubt that your gibberish is an evolved form of English
By Ravish
Yes this dumb reason is same because of which you back up yourself for so called acronyms(net abbreviations)
By Valentin
I give up... It's no good to fight against wind
By Ravish
Closing your eyes would not help you to fight storm(wind)
By Valentin
I won't reply anymore here since it seems that it only helps you stabilize in your position
By Ravish
PS: Request to all bartenders and moderators; Please don't give threats, I have very weak heart.
By Ravish
But only if you could have open your eyes then you would have been able to see that my last 5-6 post does not have shorts
By Ravish
I do not know why some people can not take the answer the way they give answers.
By David O'Meara
No contractions on the Ranch!
By David O'Meara
I think that you guys could not prove anything except your POST of bartender.
By Ravish
I can not follow old things for the sake of it. I like chages and change myself.
By Ravish
Those who think that they want to act or write like professional, do they change themselves??
