Sure. Normal people are not fixated on one particular thing. If you go to a normal person's house, they will not have it decorated exclusively in Green Bay Packers or NASCAR or Mickey Mouse paraphernalia and themes. Or Jesus themes, for that matter. Normal people will not have 50 guns in their home. Gun fondlers are fixated on guns. You should never be fixated upon one single thing. If you are, you are abnormal. It's annoying, but generally harmless, if someone is a Trekkie. It's beyond simply annoying when you have a gun geek who has assembled 50 guns to fondle and fixate upon. It poses dangers to the fondler and his family, and possibly others, as we've seen with the Darwin Awards video of gun geeks.
What a relief!!!! I don't fit any of your things about abnormal so I must be normal in your estimation. I own only one gun and bought it for home defense, only. I do not have a house, or any single room decorated in the manner you suggest and have never been a Trekkie. I do not support the Packers or ever have anything to do with NASCAR. We are Christians at our house but we don't have anything but a few Bibles lying around.
Now, is it possible that abnormality could be the reason so many of you leaners are constantly talking about Obama? How about being the most often liable to be posting about birders? I think you may be in trouble as to what normal really is.
Actually what you learned in school long ago about English is probably fairly outdated on the Internet today.
But not in formal writing.
It really is very true that people haven't had good instruction in that kind of thing for many years but they can't really communicate either.
I like to use capital letters where they belong and Google puts everything in lower case. I bet I drive their computers crazy, but I didn't grow up with a texting machine in my hand either. Speaking of which, I could never communicate with texting spelling and my son who has all kinds of trouble spelling gets along very well with that crap.
What happens when someone has to write anything to get a job? Why many of them go looking someplace else since they usually aren't going to get one there.
An example of the kind of simple minded crap you are standing up for comes to mind. In 1969 I was asked to write something to help three outstanding students from our high school to get jobs. I had told those three girls that their truancy would come back to bite them in their butts and they just wouldn't believe me. Well, I wrote things for them but I was also asked to report how many days they missed school that last year. Of course, I didn't lie and of course none of them got the jobs they were after. It seemed that their grades didn't mean anything compared to how they attended school. Great kids, all, but they just hadn't seen what was needed in the way of workplace honesty.
