Do people misinterpreting Nicole need to fix their reading comprehension or does Nicole need to fix her grammar structure? Not that she is always incoherent, but I honestly can't figure out what the point she is trying to make is sometimes. I mentioned to Icey that I think most of the board has difficulty understanding her sometimes and he said "Its not a vast majority of the forum. Its the same idiots who troll anyone with differing views."
So what exactly do you guys think? Personally, I do understand most of what she says, but the times when she is incoherent are frequent enough to be noteworthy. Does her grammar need improvement or can most of you understand her every time?
I understand Nicole just fine. Its the same people calling anyone they don't like a troll and claiming they don't make any sense, who tell Nicole she doesn't make any sense.... They think pretending to not understand makes them look smart. Which it doesn't...
Oh c'mon upright citizen stop being so dramatic. I worded this specifically so as to be fair and keep my mind open to the possibility that I might be wrong. Wanting to be fair doesn't make me a troll. Besides, I actually agreed that her grammar is often incoherent and needs to be fixed. I created the thread because Icey claimed that the majority of the forum doesn't think its difficult to comprehend so I'm asking the whole forum and not just people who happen to be reading one of her threads whether her grammar really is difficult to understand.
She's average to above average for an online poster. I do hope her college papers are better thought out. But I know PhDs that use "ur" when they text so who knows?
^That's an interesting perspective but by average to above average, are you talking about the content of her posts or her grammar?
I actually often do enjoy the content of some of her threads. Some of her threads seem kind of Twitter-like to me and I ignore them but there are also several times when she posts thought-provoking content. Its the grammar structure specifically that I occasionally find incoherent which detracts from the overall quality of her threads.
@ Nicole. I think they did. And the verdict is that you need some work. The real question is whether or not you can take constructive criticism. My guess is that you cannot. Prove me wrong.
^I agree with Nidan, this is not "an attack thread." UprightCitizen even put me on ignore for essentially not being negative enough.
Content wise, I like a fair number of Nicole's threads and would like her to stay on TUSCL. Although I do wish she'd participate more in other people's threads instead of sticking so exclusively to her own. But seriously Nicole, your grammar needs some work. I think your experience posting on TUSCL would be a lot more enjoyable if people could understand what you are actually saying more often and you don't need to constantly clarify what you meant in follow up posts.
CC99 so you claim to not understand her because of her grammar but claim to like her content. Make your mind up. You can't like her content if you claim to not understand it lulz
I like her content when I understand it. As I said, I do understand the majority of her posts, but there's a lot of incoherent posts. Enough that it is noteworthy.

I'm trying to see if there's any reasonable debate on this or whether there's a very solid consensus that her grammar needs improvement.

If you even remotely believe that she's quitting TUSCL, then you should have your picture placed next to the word 'gullible' in the dictionary.
Her crap posting style is just a function of her trolling. At least that's my opinion. Asking her to improve is an empty ask.
Thx
