Yes, it IS "an" x-ray. It is PRONOUNCED "Eks-ray", which is a vowel sound. Likewise, when you write an acronym, the LETTERS are pronounced, not the words they represent, so "LTA" is pronounced "El-Tee-Ay" which means it starts with the sound of a vowel, thus it is "an" LTA. If it was a TLA, then you would be correct in the usage of "a", since "Tee" begins with a consonant sound, itīs not a "Tee-El-Ay", it is an "El-Tee-Ay", so "an" is the proper word to use. |

conformity. I'll live my life the way I'd like to.
If this means another run down with the system, this time I'm better prepared. I was under assessment and they used this time for which I was answering questions and eating to convince one of my parents to drug me, after I refused to willingly be drugged. This is total bull. The fact I havn't taken any medication since my torture due to a court diversion so I couldn't tell a story about a corruption of justice that had occured. Oh, I'm sure you will say this is just "crazy talk clearly delusions" just like the doctor over medicated me and after medicating me, then they let people see me which by that time I was very ill due to the medications effects on me and my ability to think. It is down right bull that people can accept the drugging of people who are calm and stable while depriving them to court access or review. This is total bull.
If I appear "angry or upset" that I was held for over a month and physically assaulted and drugged then frankly I think you are the one out of touch with reality. Of course someone is going to be upset they are being assaulted and drugged.
I was taught it was only used for vowels and H and that is how I use it.
--------
I'm a non conformist not a ing nutjob. I've been abused and mistreated, I'm not deluded. If you can't get this after 5 years you probably never will and I hope you end up in the situation I was in due to your ing stupidity.
Whether you get it or not "all my run ins with the system" are chain of events, and I know exactly what happened and why. It isn't fabricated it is actuality. I have total faith this will catch up with people, this isn't something I can let go it is something that has been burned into me by anguish. People will pay eventually if it means me pissing on their and their ancestors and descendents graves so be it but it will happen.
Until this bull is stopped and no longer acceptable this fire will burn. Even in my death I will haunt that premise.
And you if you can't get over the oddity of how it sounds, for s sake it is how I feel. and I know its weird to say it, but that is where I'm at, not because I'm out of touch with reality, but because I'm in touch with my past and the world today.
conformity I'd rather stand up for what I beleive is right. the system if it is ing good people over. |
I was actually trying to help you and wasn't referencing "the torture" you went through or even your past for that matter, at all. I was talking about your general behaviour, it comes off as indignant, hostile, angry and super defensive, and I am saying that this is what makes you look "crazy". In fact, I even went as far as defending you in a thread where everyone is attacking you by saying that it's reasonable for you to act this way given that you have been called "crazy" quite a bit.
So, I am saying that maybe you should change these behaviours, which may require you to let go of the anger, and move on with your life and stop dwelling on . Maybe then people wouldn't perceive you to be so crazy and you wouldn't have to be constantly defending yourself.

Do you think you know me personally? I haven't even known of your existence for 5 years, let alone met/talked to you before.
Also, to wish something terrible upon someone who has never done anything wrong to you (except for correcting your grammar), is kinda ed up.
"An" is supposed to be used before a PHONETIC vowel sounding word. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/L If you click this link and take a look at the pronunciation key for "L", you get "el". As such, the beginning segment of the phonetic form of L is a vowel sound, which thus requires you to use "an" before using the letter "L" in an acronym. I believe that is the only time it occurs before the letter "L" though, otherwise the L has a consonantal sound. This occurs if you were to say "an STD", or "an MBA", or "an NDP" or "an FBI" etc. etc.

Hmm that's odd, I thought it would make me look indignant, hostile, angry and super defensive, not "crazy" at all.

I do, then THEY bring it back up.

Maybe if they shut their ing mouths I wouldn't have to defend myself. That is to say. Theresa, it really is them being really really really low. It really was quite a traumatic experience, and I would actually respond quite violently if I was put in the same situation again. Frankly it ain't psychosis, but self defence against very very very decrepit actions. The shear level of wrong makes me want to rip peoples guts out while they are still living and hang them from ceiling fans. I don't display this type of behaviour or thought process in regular life, but when I see the abuses of power and downright inhumane practices it taints me tremendously because I know the baselessness and totalitarianism involved. It is an attack on the human spirit and free will itself.

Well fact is it appeared in postings some 5 years ago. I was a TA member before this happened to me.

In my opinion you were defending doctors practice without informed consent in instances where people are aware but disagree with doctors wishes. That to me is blind folley.

Yes, it is "an x-ray". |
Yes that was what the FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!1!!!!! was for. It was my way of saying. Yes, damn, it appears you are right, now I will have to teach it based on more than vowels and h's. Oh shucks, I guess I learned from the situation. Oh, well. Regardless of what you may think, I'm only strong in positions that I believe in, based on a standard lookup for more information it appears yes indeed it is pronunciation based, whereas prior, I was taught of the vowel and silent h rule. articles wern't a heavy part of my training. Most is teaching methodology. In my 140 and 100 hour course, article coverage was minimal, eg. 2 or 3 hours. Sadly the acronym thing isn't in my memory. Now I know, I see it as a positive experience. |

Awesome, he actually admitted a mistake.
Will, Iīm impressed!
But honestly, itīs only "an x-ray" because the corrupt, draconian system forces you to write that way. You should rebel. |

No, I'm part of that system, I can't rebel against my own kind. It helps me. Why destroy the good in the world.
Personally I think there are two modes to English communication - Formal and informal. Formal is for important communications, informal is for everything else. Records and publications are formal - I could care less about the rest.
Sadly though academic writing prepares you for publication and filling out records. While I beleive in clarity in communication, I am well aware that language is an evolving entity even with standards in place.
Language is art, and art has a certain level of libe rty in form. Regardless of what you think, you only see one side of me here, and it is a very informal part of me.
I don't view this forum as a publication or record. And while you could say it is, I don't uphold it at the same standard as what I deem official record or official publication.
The site terms of use just don't reinforce the standards to actually deem it at that level of safegaurd. Eg. The forum doesn't state, all postings on this forum should be checked for grammar and spelling before posting. Posts with spelling errors will be barred from publicaton until they are reviewed by an editor and errors are deemed to be acceptable for the purpose of the article. It just isn't so. |
