Elightenment or Elitists?
485993
Enlightenment that is not for all humanity isn't Enlightenment! There is no personal peace without peace and liberation for every person. \n\nKinesiology has nothing to with Enlightenment, and neither does elitism. With ego death all competition, inequity, arrogance and self righteousness die. People have made Enlightenment into another object to attain, but it is their egos that want it and so their egos learn the 'enlightenment script.' As long as there is a desire to do harm, there is no Enlightenment. \n\nAnd NO enlightened person would ever want to profit from their revelations. If they are making money selling enlightenment, they are no different than any other cult/religion. \n\nKinesiology! That is sad...\n\nIn Christ (not Christianity which offer no enlightenment)

pleaded and speeded became the norm when uneducated people became icons for children. people who never learned correct grammar and spelling make up most of the young people of today's icons. it is so sad. people who made it past 5th  grade (if not earlier)should know the difference.

I think they're both acceptable, except in formal situations.  I'm damn confused about why you're even asking this bloody question.  :-)

Yes they do think they're being helpful. Some of them even think its a compliment. Sometimes people are such idiots

Its the word again. They don't know the difference.  Maybe some will look it up\nIllegal or legal--maybe repeat post and they will see the difference. Sometimes it takes that to understand. Than we can work on what raciest is.\n\n\nClueless

Before I answer, I'd like to say that I think both "intelligent" and "clever" are subjective terms. \n\nIntelligent usually refers to a person who's "book smart," who has the straight As in school, who knows all the answers on Jeopardy.\n\nClever usually refers to a person who has a knack for coming up with great ideas/solutions out of problems. Different ways of coming up with a solution.\n\nThat's just my interpretation, I've meet many clever people who weren't very intelligent, and vice versa.

It can be lonely being an atheist, but it's not because of an elitist attitude, if that's what you mean.  It's because there just aren't that many of us (maybe ten percent of the population, maybe a little more, nobody seems to know for certain).

It happens.  But the REAL question should be:  Do you take a person more seriously when they take the time to spell properly(and none of that netspeak like gr8 and ur), use proper grammar, and above all PUNCUATION?  I know I certainly do, and while I admit to making the occasional typo, I am more wont to give a sincere answer to a question that has been asked 'properly.'  On the flip side, if someone is barely literate I am more apt to give a sarky and sarcastic response.

I think some people are ignorant, period.  Regardless of nationality.  And by the way, what makes you such an expert?

Apparently, proper punctuation and capitalization are also beyond most people.  \nI think most were never taught properly to begin with and now they just don't care.  \nIt doesn't seem to matter to them how they are perceived based on their writing.  \n\nI just hope they're not filling out resumes this way!  I wouldn't hire them!

Average individuals, the regular people that are not educated on a subject also called laymen

I am fluent in English, Gibberish, Balderdash and Piffle, and I welcome the diversity of language found in the questions and answers posted here. \nYou should embrace the nonsense, it's not easy being an idiot - you've got to admire thier commitment (before they get committed).

Not really.  This site isn't meant to be perfect as far as I know - just to give people reasonable answers to their questions.  No one is being graded on their writing here.  People are working quickly and just want to get the message across.  Some of us are more meticulous than others.  Some of us speak and write English a little better than others.  No big deal.  Life is too short to worry about such things.
