Do you guys remember Longhorn misunderstanding?

[erp]

ouchie. I don't think I would have went that far.

[bkellner]

you guys do realise you are talking to a retarded 14 year old who doesnt speak english dont you? he only picks out key words and then starts talking..

you realize not everyone in the world speaks english perfectly right? i mean, being so smart and intelligent, you should know that. besides, your english isn't all that either.

on a sidenote, are you looking for an argument or something? i think the flamewar here ended ten or so post before yours.

he's not retarded, hes THAI (not american), and hes not 14...

Csabo, yes we know where you stand...now just stay off this topic

Yeah, I do hate how i can't download the themes seperately. Plus all the Longhorn Transformation Pack links are always ending up dead.. The /x extraction does work, but to download that huge of a file for a few themes is kind of absurd, especially for the low speed users.. Deviantart is a great site, much better than themexp, if you could post your themes there seperately that'd be great.

I still think you're a great themer, and a good person. Though I do have to agree that you *do* tend to overboard things a bit. But I can see why you would. Also another thing you really should start some new themes from scratch, I thought that was a good idea, I'd love to see some completely original creations by you. Also, I'd love to give you some ideas if you decide to do this ;)

Because of some problems I've mentioned. I can't release them right now. btw, I won't call myself themer. I'm just Longhorn lover who'll make stuffs about things he like.

Yes, he sure start talking something about my post like flaming all time. Guys like him has messed my life for problems I've said. He's always posted cruel and rude post after me.

Ok first of all, you remarking that his english isnt perfect, lets analize what you just said

"You guys realise", if im not wrong, its realize.

"14 years old who doesnt speak english", hmm... doesnt... *looks for a dictionary*

"Pick out key words", i think in that context keyword isnt separated...

Ok now... if hes 14 or not isnt a real deal... he knows enough to be more than 14..., and age "doesnt" really matter, heh

Now back in the topic :)

WindowsX: Like someone said, some people just dont have respect for the peoples work around here... most of them do, but you will always find an ######, and you will have to deal with them..., even if your themes sucks or not, they are a work that must be valorated in each aspect, im not a fan of longhorn (as ive readed, youre), but ive tried your themes more than once and they really really nice :), congrats and keep up the work!!!

by the way..

it's spelled both realise and realize.. slightly different meanings

doesn't is a contraction of does not, he just forgot the "'"..

see: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=doesn't

key words would do, as it's basically the same thing.

see: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=keywords

my reference to his english skills was towards the "do" and "don't" in the same sentence.. forgetting the "'" in doesn't.. "and then starts talking" should be "and then proceeds to talk"

that is, if you are a major english buff. he also doesn't know the meaning of commas.

but nice try :p

oh by the way "its" should be "it's" ... your mistake. :whistle:

i think i know you from somewhere..do you play counter-strike? someone i played with before uses your same alias.

I think behavior is more important than English skill. You want to talk to weak English person more than bad behavior person, don't you? scabo2 behaves himself bad to blame someone (me) as a flame so he deserves (I don't think we all like that post)

Guys! PLEASE! Stop all this nonsense now, or it will never end!

[Redestium]

Wow the ego...

[Raum]

Dammit, stfu. If you can understand someone, **** how good or bad their English is, that's all that matters. Yes, Windows X's Engrish can be annoying to read sometimes, but he's got a good excuse, so just bear with it. He tries, and generally he's underatandable, so that's good enough. Knowing how to order things to attain proper grammer or every specific situation to use a comma isn't what makes you someone to listen to, it's being someone with good points and developed opinions. **** grammar nazis.

[A.K.R.]

You have to excuse Windows X, as he is from Thailand, and English is not very commonly used there.

[ludeboy]

Sorry but this forum is English-based. If you don't speak it or can't communicate yourself in a respectful manner, git da fuk out. If English isn't commonly used in Thailand and he's more comfortable with typing in Thai, then go for it. I'm sure Neowin isn't the only windows customizing forum.

On another note, I think Windows X's petty 5 minutes of "fame" on a customizing forum is just lame. All too often, I see new posts from him about some "new" Longhorn theme. All I see is the same damn ugly theme that seems to be recycled and regurgitated over and over again. More annoying are about him accusing others of copying him. Or how he's going to be too busy to work on stuff. I mean seriously, how frickin self-absorbed are you?

All I gotta say is:... nobody cares.

What is the point of this thread anyway?

[scoult01]

I dont remember Mac OSX converters having a go at each other like Windows X does about anyone else who does a Longhorn theme...

Oh and well said Ludeboy

[Circaflex]

Pretty much what i have seen is you see yourself as a theme master, but all you do is modify ms themes, luna and longhorn. But the main thing that catches my eye is that when someone else tries to mkae a theme you point out "similar" stuff that is from your theme, yet yours is from ms. Im sure your a nice guy and all but why is this in Customizing Windows XP, and its the internet for gods sake get over not having a few internet forum buddies. Maybe create your own graphics and some different looking theme other than longhorn or luna or any of that, for example look at b0se's themes, there great and he didnt mod any ms theme. One last thing, it seems you dont like people to critque (sp?) your work, you come up with some mumbo jumbo arguement when people are just trying to help.

Just my 2cents and you asked for it... :ninja:

Then give him some time! We welcome not only English speakers here, but people who also speak Spainish, Portuguese, Chinese (I do speak Chinese), Japanese, French, Tamil, Korean, Italian, Latin and even Klingon. Give them some time to adjust first. And Windows X, you should quit being a showoff, as I don't really like showoffs.

[Raum]

Lude, why the **** does it matter how well he can speak English as long as he can get his point across? This a computer forum, not scholarly discussions for those highly inclined in the study of the english language. There may be Thai PC customization sites, but maybe he just likes this place better. Obviously he can communicate with us so there shouldn't be any issue with his language skills.

[sherpard]

ya.. im singaporean chinese too.. speak perfect english and not so perfect chinese too.. what i feel is that some pple may just be racist to windowsx. maybe.

[A.K.R.]

I agree. This is not a language forum, this is a Computer and Technology discussion forum. Although I try to use proper spelling and grammar, however, I still make spelling mistakes sometimes, yet I always get my points across.

[A.K.R.]

God, if these keeps on, then every thread Windows X starts or participate in will become full of unproductive posts. Snap out of it, guys! Stop all these nonsense!

[dkldkldkl]

Lou's thread was pretty funny, too bad I missed that :p

I don't think it matters how good is his English, as long as it's understandable.

Now take it all easy, it's just virtual people... :)

Reason I have beef with WindowsX:

Anyone posts a Longhorn syled theme, and he says "Looks like my graphics" "nice style, similar to mine" "MSSTYLES a lot lile my release"...

STFU! They are like MS themes, which you rip off too. So big deal. You didn't invent Longhorn and are not the only source for Longhorn graphics.

Simple as. Oh and cos I don't like his themes - personal taste but Longhorn Inspirat is my fave.

We are all just wading through waist-deep s*** here.
