How can anyone be so stoooooopid?! Sure, it's a direct translation but I don't understand how the writer didn't realise it's completely WRONG! The ‘warehouse’ part is my favourite.

It's not every day you'd get to see the stuff <i>not</i> on the store shelves! :wink: I'd insist on getting what was promised, too! :twisted: Didn’t anyone else think it would be utterly *cool* to be able to shop in the Stockmann warehouse?!?

Instead of learning the basics, it seems that these people are the first to insult others for their knowledge, which, to me, doesn't seem like anything beyond a grade school level of learning. I don't like to feel that I'm anal for noticing all the errors, especially when my knowledge is valued in the workplace, but because someone comes from a different country doesn't excuse the lack of knowledge when that's a part of learning a language. Learning means learning, there's no reason to assume it's "half-assed learning" and that I'm the one with the problem.

I always stumble on those people.. how fortunate eh? bleh.. ah well lol.. yeah.. esp. computer related stuff.. teachers can't teach for beans.. to be honest lol. It's kind of funny because most of the students try to fire their teachers to get better ones.. and when it does happen.. there aren't better ones so they keep firing but guess what? no one would teach them then because there are hardly any teachers out there that could really 'teach' properly -__-'.. drives us insane haha.. lol.. yeah, most people are lucky. .unlike me lol!
