|

http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN1853261580&id=CQYg20lTHtMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=the+little+prince
I don't read. At all. Not a big fan. But I picked up “The Little Prince”. I judged a book by its cover. STFU!  Is this book any good? Is it worth a read? It only cost me 4.25. I thought I’d read it on the subway to school, so I haven’t even read the preface yet. I’m not enthusiastic about reading books. Why my grammar and my vocabulary are lacking considerably. 
So… the little prince
Yay or Nay?

The little prince is actually one of my favorite books of all time... You might have to be in the right mood to read it, but as soon as you get into the book you'll notice that the book isn't as childish as it might seem, it actually goes pretty deep into philosophical stuff, and the some of the ideas for the book are truely fantastic.

Sounds like a good book to read to a kid at bedtime.

I'm afraid of that I don't want people laughing at me for reading a children’s book.

@sYn
I have never seen the book and I didn't click on the link so bad on me. It was one of those books in high school you read that have all that deeper meaning stuff.
I am going to keep my eyes open for it. Second hand book stores FTW

I could spend hours in them. Section by section just looking. I Love the smell of an old bookstore or of an old book.

ERrrm.. I think your thinking of GCSE french.
http://www.dur.ac.uk/mlac/french/modules/
http://www.dur.ac.uk/programme.specifications/module_list/?prog=Q300
The french degree (using durham as an example) is easily compairable to an English degree. Of course the French degree is not as open ended as the English degree due to the lack of classic works, it simply focues the student on a smaller set of litterary topics. Seriously, if you think any old french person from the street could walk into an english university and get a degree in french without working, you're wrong.
It boils down to the simple fact that both degrees concentrate on the literature and culture of the society in question throughout the past 300 or so years.

Just because you can read something, doesn't mean you truely understand it.

Spelling should never matter in an online public place. Even more it shouldn’t even be considered in a public place where more than half of its residents are ESL based folk. It just angers me that most insults I see, where ever I go, are just for grammar and spelling. It’s saddening. if you notice that someone made a mistake don’t be crazy and tell them that. It's insulting. You think you're better than them and you want them to feel belittled. It's wrong! For all you know, he might be a highest paying Romanian lawyer who just recently began learning another language and you’re nothing but some movie ticket stub collector who got a degree in English and will end up writing a novel that will just let you live a life of wealth for the first three years and then after that you’ll be struggling. Yeh. 
IT’s horrible that people often judge others based on their spelling and grammar. Fuck! I really really really really hate that. As long as you have the idea what the other person is saying then that should be all that is important. You’re not submitting a research paper or something that will be graded. You will not be grading a research paper. You’re having a typical discussion. Hehe. Being anal about someone miseplling certain words is just… ack I want to strangle that person so bad!
Nothing against you, pistolshrimp, I just hate it when people focus more on how they write rather than what they write. Content should be number one!
