The male community currently dominates the programming and computer community though recently factions of women gamers and computer specialists have began penetrating into the mainstream. You'll begin to see visible differences in the next 50 years. Yes there are young interested ladies on this forum.

Well,i think i was not writing an English literature essay.Afterall I was using some internet lingo.(I am no perfect in that either).Sorry if 'you' thought so.Also English is not my cup of tea.(Its not my mother tongue).I am into engineering and is happy with it.I think i can live in this part of the world with my mother tongue.

bye the bye,how many languages(other than English!) do you know??And you are sure you are perfect in English??

arunshivanandan · 08-02-2003, 06:13 AM

Well,dear English teacher,tell something,did you think English is the only language in the world??

Thymox · 08-02-2003, 05:49 PM

Easy now, don't let this deteriorate into a languages flamefest. If you're interested in the linguistic abilities of the members of LQ, then may I suggest you do a quick search. There has been a thread floating around recently with exactly this question.

I think somebody is feeling horny

There probably are more female members on this board than we think. Unless a member actually says they are female then most people will asume they are male. Although that sometimes happens the otherway around.

It's nice when you want to make idiots from men, but in real life becomes boring (and annoying) after approx 2 years in computers. Just my experience...
