    All these feeeeeelins being expressed

    I love it

    Look at the heat that erupted

    You gotta admit my catchy first post

    I am going to Bed Now, but when I return, I hope I have at least 2 more friend requests, and double the posts

    For the love of Pete, why is "bed" and "now" capitalized??? I must know the answer to this question, but I know it will go unanswered.

    And double spacing and no periods. Almost like a drunk attempt at a Haiku.

    Ohhhhh I get it. It's a poem.

    It is not Bro Science...
    There has got to be a Poe's Law or a Godwin-like definition for the "I'm not broscientist only when I am committing broscience" type person on the internet?

    I've noticed that people frequently bemoan the lack of science background the rest of us have while refusing to link to actual studies.
    I took exercise physiology and nutrition classes in college to help round out my basic science requirements, however, even with that background I would not A) think for a second that I am qualified enough to just pull a theory out of my *kitten* and expect it to be irrefutable and/or inerrant; B) Confuse my opinion with the endeavor of science, which is a methodology and not an adjective that is frequently and carelessly append to someone's pet idea.

    Yes, I agree, if you are going to post a theory of yours, you should always back it up and cite your sources, science background or not.

    The sad part is some people that don't know better might send you a FR thinking you know what you're talking about when you don't.

    Like I've told you repeatedly, you watch one video and think you're an expert at the topic when in reality you know nothing.

    Sadly it happens whenever we get one of these posts. I always feel bad for those people getting sucked in by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about and will always have another excuse at the ready for why the person is still not seeing results even after following whatever weight loss scheme they are promoting.

    When I return from making zucchini bread, I hope to have 4 friend requests from people who enjoy proper grammar and sentence structure. And zucchini bread. It has chocolate chips in it.

    Things I have learned from this thread:

    1. I need to recalibrate my sarcasm detector (thank you EvgeniZyntx and DavPul).

    2. You do not need to know how to write proper English in order to teach the language to others.

    3. Some guy named Layne on YouTube has all the answers, but despite this easily accessed knowledge, there are still obese people in the world.

    4. ????

    5. Profit.

    it just so happens that English IS my second language and I was, at one time, an ESL student.

    You'd never know it.

    However, this is MFP. In my experience, any of the following can be used in lieu of experience, education and references:

    - Proper punctuation and grammar
    - Ripped abs displayed in avatar
    - Decorative punctuation
    - Level of butthurt

    Some of these are obviously mutually exclusive, but I wouldn't fuss too much about that. Especially consider the quality of your typing and low body fat in your avatar.

    There were so many misspellings, incorrect punctuation, unnecessary capitalizations, and awkward sentence structure in the first two sentences that I gave up. Sorry OP. You may have had some information to share, but I can't take an author or their advice seriously if they can't even present the information clearly and effectively, especially given the number of word processing programs out there that will correct things for you. You might have better luck editing the piece and presenting it to the community again once it's in a format people can read.

    Thank you. :flowerforyou:

    So to be clear.... you're invoking the "I WAS JUST TROLLIN U GUYZZZ AND YOU FELL FOR IT HAHA" defense?

    I am disappoint.
    No kidding. 2/10, would not cross bridge.

    Honestly, his proper grammar and punctuation usage are dead giveaways that English isn't his first language.

    I am going to go ahead and just lock this thread based on the follow rules:


    1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

    a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
    b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.

    2. No Hi-Jacking, Trolling, or Flame-baiting

    Please stay on-topic in an existing thread, and post new threads in the appropriate forum. Taking a thread off-topic is considered hi-jacking. Please either contribute politely and constructively to a topic, or move on without posting. This includes posts that encourage the drama in a topic to escalate, or posts intended to incite an uproar from the community.
