you do tend to express yourself in a very unique and condensed way. I am trying to determine if it's a product of being a well connected netizen or something else.

Anyway I'm usually pretty good at understanding things[that you say but it's true in general I guess], but it all depends on our experiences.

Holy **** I think I just agreed with tp4.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I believe if you speak your thoughts, people will understand you.
It's when you typed it out in the forum that misunderstand occurs.
I can only blame the Egdx.. wait.. shouldn't that be Ergodox? See what I mean? Even typing the word came out differently.. :D problem solve.. I'll invoice you later.

I think your diagnostic is right , the typing is the issue , not being able to type out completely Ergodox is clearly a sign that the peripheral used is wrong .

You're doing something right, every time you make a thread I know you made it just by seeing the title. If there was one unique butterfly on the hack, it would most definitely be you tp.

I find that you have an unique way of expressing yourself, which is fun to read, but it is your train of thoughts that I can't always follow, but I blame that on cultural differences and not so much on your way with words.

You are unique, there is no denying that! With written communications, I find that proper sentence structure goes a long way. You could give that a try and see how it goes.  ;)

You're doing something right, every time you make a thread I know you made it just by seeing the title
which has two dots instead of any other possible punctuation mark.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

At my job, I write and edit documents for are made available for public consumption.  Consequently, I work with text all day.  I have a little post-it note with five simple ideas to remember with everything I write:

1.  Accuracy
2.  Brevity
3.  Clarity
4.  Consistency
5.  Simplicity

Be cognizant of those things, and you might be understood a little better.

Brevity and Simplicity are almost the same, no? Could have reduce that to 4 points instead :D

Um... that's open to interpretation..

Simplicity could mean short/ concise,   but it could also mean, don't sweat-the-small-stuff

You have a very non-linear way of expressing yourself. You are wrong a lot of the time but you are extremely smart, no doubt. You are also hilarious, so please continue.
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.

Tp4 is right 99.999% of the time..   if you see that 0.001% error, and you find that it's "a lot"..  that is simply due to the overall-immense-breadth of intellect that emanates from the Tp4..

So you see.. high volume errors, Possibly,  but @ a very low percentage of the total..

Brevity:  keep it short.
Accuracy:  truthiness.
Clarity:  Be understandable.
Consistency:  pick a style and stick to it.  We aren't publishing a book of poetry here.
Simplicity:  Save overcomplexity for your doctoral dissertation.  There are teenagers among us.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
