That's fine. Please, though, write properly (i.e., capitalization and spelling). You can take the time. We are a community that would really, really prefer it.

"we". I think your comment implies that you are a veteran of this community and that I am the fresh rookie who needs guidance. Well, I guess you have learned quite a lot in the last 58 days and 12 submissions to be in a position to "we" me. Seriously, I am going to try to make you happy and write properly, but in return I am hoping you will tone your expectation as far as grammar and spelling a tiny bit. Look at the…

I think he's referring to your usage of "u". Adding four characters to your title isn't that hard, and the above poster "newbie" or not is right, I think we'd all prefer to see "you" instead of "u".

Nothing particularly insightful for you in my sites, although I tend to like to cross fertilize - news from outside tech informing what I do in tech.

mashable, slashdot

Non tech - news aggregation like yahoo and google. Twitter, facebook, linkedin.

> Where do u go for news when u've read all posts on the YC frontpage? "u"? I guarantee that if there were some even cooler place than HN for smart people to gather, I wouldn't ruin it by telling "u"!

if some1 is offended by "u" than they r clearly complicatd and taking life a bit too seriously. and besides isn't this web 2.0 where we have flickR and Youniversity I think those are more morphed than my "u"

This is more about how people present themselves.

If you use proper punctuation, capitalization, good grammar and make clear sentences, you will appear to be civilized.

Civilized people respect other civilized people, so if you appear to be civilized, people are more likely to listen to what you say.

Comments on YouTube are a great example of people making themselves look.. extremely uncivilized.

"u've" has got to be the most interesting grammatical construct I've seen online. I mean look at it, it's like he's trying to be correct, but not at the same time.

Hey, that's a subtle observation. I wonder what linguists would call this. It looks a bit like an overcorrection (the classic example of that is when people use "I" as an object, as in Bill Clinton's famous campaign line, "That's very important to Al Gore and I"). But I'm not sure it's the same thing.

I've got a month or so on you. Will you listen to me? I thought not. ;)

Read less, do more

Funny, Dan, considering your profile comment: Daniel Ha, former #1 on the leader board. I will make my return. One day.

is it inconsistent? i'm in the same boat: used to waste a lot of time, now buckling down to get something done, and i'll waste time again once i'm filthy rich.
