So you now why a sleep deprived, straining-at-the-leash blogger ought to keep his trap close at 3:00am. That's a good example of what not to do. But my irritation got the better of me. Afterward, of course, I had misgivings. My consolation is that my comment is at the bottom. I don't know anyone would notice. :'(<br /><br />Must be the arrow tipped with warhead that really got to me. :)Waaah.

Must be the arrow tipped with warhead that really got to me. :)

Two ex-Dota players who are now owning the blogosphere. =-O Quiet, somebody must thinks us nuts. hahaha. If you put in more personal videos, I'm sure readers will form a long line in your blog.

I read a quite a few posts there and had fun. I also agree on your comment regarding warheads on arrows. That was fun. 8-)<br /><br />As to "ill-educated", I was also confused when I read it. But the commenter seems to know his/her thing. So I thought the phrase must be correct. But if that phrase needs a caretaker, like you said, then he/she has no business correcting others.<br /><br />But if I were you, ask the commenter where to buy that arrow with a warhead. You might need to buy and stock some in case they come here. ;)Yes, I visited Reynz’s blog. I read a quite a few posts there and had fun. I also agree on your comment regarding warheads on arrows.

Nice. Now, you know what I'm bristling against now. It's as if they know better. Perhaps, it might help if he's friends with the blog author and the blogger asks for help. Di naman eh. <br /><br />That's the appeal of that blog. No pretensions to high falutin discussion. One reader said she's been frequenting RE's blog as a tambayan or a place to hang out with friends. They share their stories. They banter, make fun of each other, make kulit and stuff real friends do. Some comments ran by the thousands. Imagine that. There's something there. The blog resonates with its readers. What's wrong with that?<br /><br />And for someone who deplores RE's English. Just at look at what he said: ill-educated. Whoever taught him the rudiments of English must be already disowning him. "For your info, dear bloggers, this guy is dense. I've washed my hands off him. Ill-educated - this I did NOT teach him." :-D<br /><br />I'm just a product of public schools and state U, Luke. Thanks for your kind words. If there's something you want to learn from me, please don't say ill-educated. That phrase needs a defibrillator. That or a caretaker. One terminally ill phrase, that. :-DOh, you’ve checked RE’s blog. Nice. Now, you know what I’m bristling against now. It’s as if they know better.

For me, English is important but it is only part of a well-rounded education. It is not everything. Obviously, not everybody in the world have English as their native language. So, those people have less than stellar English. Are all those people ill-educated also? Me thinks not.I could not agree more. That mentality belongs to the past. Really backward.
