Hey guys I just wanted to ask, how do you access vacuum land? I'm asking because in this digital age, I know that many of us use iPhones, iPads, desktops, and/or laptops as a daily device and not to add fire to fire, but a good amount of us are either making grammatical mistakes or text lingo on here! To be honest though, I'm just asking because of my interest with what people use in their homes! I actually use an iPhone, iPad or my laptop! Anyway, answer away!

I use all of the above!
My I-Phone, I-Pad, I-Mac and here at work I use a PC. Prior to my I-Phone I used a smart phone. Grammatical issues don't concern me at all. I realize many of use are typing on the fly or using devices that are not as easy to type on. I don't have time to spell check when I am at work, my phone will make corrections that I miss, and spell check will often change words. Text type comments are not offensive. Again, knowing that many of us are using portable devices and running on the fly. As long as what is being posted is understandable and not being mean spirited...I am fine with it.

Well, I post using my old Dell Pentium 4 desktop, which unfortunately is getting too outdated & a pain to use :( . Or, if I am on the go, I'll use my new ASUS Core i7 quad-core laptop....best $900 bucks I ever spent! Not a fan of using tablets or smartphones at all....those touchscreens would get REALLY annoying after a couple of months.

I use my Mac Mini desk-top and log in through Firefox. When I misspell something on this forum it is underlined, but I don't know how to fix it when that happens. I freely admit that I am not a great speller, my grammer is sometimes off and since my heart problems started I get muddled and have trouble saying (or typing) what I mean to say.
I guess that's TMI (Too Much Information), if so... I'm sorry. Justin | ||

Justin,
Thanks for sharing and it makes my point even more valid.
Some folks here are far to critical and think they have to parent everyone and everything that happens here. Every situation is different. In your case a medical condition may prevent you from normal activities. For me, I would much rather read one or two lines of text and move forward. Some of what is written is page after page...get to point...tell the story and move on. I don't have time to read a book.
Unless something is totally disrespectful or breaks the forum guidelines, myself and the board are not going to complain. We all need to be respectful of everyone who posts on Vacuumland. Adults as well as children, members as well as visitors to this site.
As Terry Lattz would say "why is it so hard to read something and move on, why does everyone think they need to comment on everything, why is spelling, sentence structure such a big deal...I retired from teaching and I am not grading papers anymore!" "Why is it so hard to let others have a conversation that is different from ours, read it move on" If Terry told me this once he told me a hundred times...
Perhaps because I work with the public, I see all types of problems everyday, the small stuff is not going to get me down. I live my life as I think I would want to be treated by others...I wish we could all do the same and stop being to judgmental.

Desktop PC
I'm on a desktop PC. Even though I don't have a smart phone, I just can't imagine internet surfacing or trying to read all the text on a screen that small. I'd rather be at home in my own privacy reading the posts and being able to see and post pictures and do a full update.
The same for online banking and facebook. I don't see anything that major with any of those to be out in public checking credit cards, etc. I'd rather be in the privacy of my own home checking my finances and paying bills online rather than what I see some others doing where they check their bank statements on their smart phones in public. I think that's too dangerous with all the identity theft out there. Just my 2 cents. | ||

Justin, right click on the underlined word and it'll offer the correct one from the spell check. Failing that, bash it into Google quickly and it'll autocorrect. Its how I get over dodgy words! Although on the nexus it auto corrects for me unless I've got it hopelessly wrong. | ||

 Laptop. I almost recently bought a Smartphone, but I decided that another $30 for something I would use only marginally was not worth it to me.
By the way, I loved this from Whirlpolf: "Btw. smartphones and tablets are not workable computers for me, they're just electronic udders of the big cows of corporations, wanting (pleading) us to suck on them."
Yikes. While I do agree that spelling, grammar and syntax is not crucially inportant, I DO think it is polite to speak in complete sentences and knock off the abbreviation stuff. Unless you have a disability or condition, it is rude to expect others (old and cranky or not) to read cryptic messages that you banged out on your smartphone/tablet/laptop/desktop. | ||

Desktop and Smart Phone
I use a desktop computer mostly, especially when typing but I quite often use my Galaxy Note Smartphone for reading posts - if anything crops up that I want to respond to I generally leave it until I am at the desktop.
I find the Note to be quite good for reading, its physically quite large for a phone and when turned sideways it rotates the screen to landscape. It comes with a stylus which I ALWAYS use as even with the larger size, I find better than using fingers | ||

Morgan Terry would not have said that. He was a Masters-trained Education major from the University of Illinois. I knew him well. This post was last edited 03/09/2013 at 23:01 | ||
