Poor furling. I kinda feel sorry for him with everyone beating on him.

I know.
I don't exactly see why everyone's calling him an idiot.

I can understand what he's saying.
--- Quote from: Dissolve on August 07, 2011, 02:38:47 PM ---Hearing has almost nothing to do with reading, save being told how to read, and since to me it seems like furling is smart enough to read and understand, he doesn't need to learn how to read.

Lmfao what do you think reading is? It's writing down the words we use everyday, and your brain equates the patterns in writing as words.

Like I said before, I don't expect ANYONE to type with 100% perfect grammar, I do expect it to be somewhat intelligible though.

How about a challenge then? Take 4 weeks learning Japanese through only text and nothing else. I'll see if you can even hold a simple conversation or even make a coherent sentence. It really can't be done that way, it would take way too much time and dedication to learn something that is essentially foreign without any other media than text.

Depends on the sentance, sometimes I have to read it twice, sometimes it's fine.

What does that have to do with hearing?

There's a difference, first off, I never said he had to do this in 4 weeks or any specific time. Second, he knows English to some degree already. He can read, that should be obvious, therefore, he can head about grammar. I'm not asking him to learn the whole English language.
