  • From my experience living in the midwest older people tend to assume shoes on is okay while younger folks either ask what is preferred or assume they should take them off. The entire exchange at the door is very midwest of not wanting to be rude or inconvenience the other person.

  • I would like to know what native English speakers think of my writing?

  • The slant in print writing I think stems from how curisve is (was?) taught in U.S elementary schools. I recall getting the very distinct advice to tilt my paper 45° for cursive writing and it ended up becoming a habit that carried over into my print writing.

  • Thanks, but dont give me too much credit. My handwriting is more towards the sloppy side than proper, haha. Im frequently asked "what does this say" when others try to read my hand written notes.

    In all honestly, if you arent getting that question from other people often, or at all, ("what does this say?"), then your pendmanship is generally good even if it has little quirks like a slightly more rounded 'a' or short stemmed 'd'.

  • I think it looks really good.

    I recommend exagerating the straight line on the lower case 'a' a bit more to distinguish it from 'o'. In context of the words you wrote it's easy to see when an 'a' is 'a' and 'o' is 'o', but words like 'sang' may look like either 'sang' or 'song'.

    For the lower case 'd' i recommend extending the straight line a tad bit higher. It still looks distinctly like a 'd', but it's very, very, close to looking like a lower case 'a'.

    Similar recommendation for the lower case 'p', extend the straight line just a tad bit more below the letter.

    I think another comment recommended something similar for lower case 'h', but i actually think the way you write them is just fine.

    However, overall, it looks a hell of a lot cleaner than what most native english speakers write. It's for sure cleaner than mine, but i use a mix of different letter styles.

  • Actual text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professors' comments

  • The way i interpreted the syllabus based on the example questions is that they wanted them to react to the article with how they "feel" about the topic and how it relates to them, and why. To me a passing response would follow the structure of "I feel this is/is not important for study because of x,y,z" supporting their stance, but their response was "I think/believe x,y,z, therefor we shouldn't study the topic."

    One is a supported opinion that can be openly discussed and debated.

    The other is an unsubstantiated conclusion (belief) being used justify a hard decision on a topic, closing off any open discussion or debate, which is not the goal of the assignment.

  • Ive been in and out of college since 2014 and my most recent attempt, specifically one programming course, was the final straw that made me throw my hands up and say fuck it ill teach myself.

    On top of paying out of state tuition, i had to pay fees that were meant to support the online learning platform the school used to deliver virtual courses. No biggie, every school ive attended has the same fees. However, this one programming course was integrated with pearson and not just for a few assignments, but for literally everything. Every module, assignment, quiz, etc. was a hyperlink to pearson. My teacher was doing 0 teaching and grading, I was still expected to pay fees for the schools learning platform that was nothing but hyperlinks to pearson, and then on top of all of that i was expected to pay an extra fee to use pearson's platform. But, wait, it gets better. The hyperlinks to pearson were actually directing to pearson's in-house built course that they openly sell on their site at a lower rate than what my school tried to charge me and with a longer access period than I would have gotten through my school.

    UMGC, university of maryland global campus, essentially tried to outsource my education to a 3rd party and then asked me to front the cost in addition to their own fees. Yeah, no, i withdrew from the school. As much as I want my bachelors, its not worth it if i have to play these games.

  • Ill be honest, i agree that therapy may be needed, here.

    Ive tried this with them. It doesnt work.

    Im not a therapist, so take this with a grain of salt, but this is concerning to hear for me. It gives me the impression you might be closed off to your role in the conflict and the effort your spouse is putting in to understand your side (assuming there is effort to talk in any way). Talking together as a couple isnt a "Im trying", its a "We're trying." "We" coming from the recognition that both sides are trying to understand the other even if resolution hasnt been found yet. Dont approach it as a "talk with them", theyre not a dependent that needs a lecture, but rather as a "talk together" where both sides are actively heard and recognized regardless of if the other agrees. The goal is to understand the other, not necessarily to make your side heard. Once you both understand the other persons perspective, it becomes easier to find the disconnect or middle ground.

    Declaring "it doesnt work" isnt trying to understand the other, its shutting things down and wont solve anything anytime soon.
