_______________________________________________
2. How do you spell his second name?
d-e-M-a-l-o
______________________________________________
3a. In which order should I write Jon's names?
Generally speaking, you should write his first name first
and his second name second. Unless you come from a
country where they say names backwards, like China.
Or if you are writing it as an entry in a sort of index, such
as a Addess book, although you may still wish to write
his name normally for quick reference.
______________________________________________
3b. Should I put a space between the names?
Yes. You should put a space jcust after the 'Jon' and
before the 'deMalo'.
______________________________________________
4. What will Jon do if I don't spell his name right?
If it was an accident, the chances are he will get mildly
annoyed and correct your spelling. If it happens repeatedly
or you do it deliberately, he will most likely get very very
angry. Watch out.
_____________________________________________
5. Can I abbreviate Jon's name?
Yes. In most instances, it is appropriate to abbreviate
Jon's name to just 'Jon', especially in casual or
conversational situations.
______________________________________________
6. What about capitals?
You should capitalise the letters 'J' and 'M'. The 'd' is
not capitalised.

What use do any of the points have? The only people who'll judge people's
personalities by the amount of points they have rather than their actual
personalities are newbies, but they won't know what the points mean. Don't get
me wrong, I'm not saying anyone should stop distributing points, and I know
it's fun and a part of AGC culture, but I don't see why Pedantry Points should
be worth less than other points.
>c) who are you to judge other people
Well, I was just joining in to the current trend of pointless points, but if
it's going to start more arguments about judging people and suchlike, I don't
think I'll bother.

But pend points are meant to be given out when people are arguing, and
somehow I doubt in the middle of a heated arguement people will be bothered
with a post saying "stop arguing! stick these points in your sig you naughty
fool."

Most points show good qualities about people (e.g. Great Author points) but
I seriously doubt people will want to advertie that they enjoy 'pointless'
arguing.

To give out pend points, you would have to be a non-biased person capable of
making moral decisions about a thread. I doubt there are many people who
could effectivly do this.

What a pointless thing. Why are you so opposed to him giving
out points if he wants? Let him, I think it'd be amusing, at least.
Why are you trying to make this into a moral debate? What does
pedanticness have to do with moral issues of any sort? Bleh.

Yes. Great Author Points and Great Joke points are, as far as I can see, the
only points that show qualities of people. You can now get 3,000 Great Author
Points if you write a story, regardless of quality... all that proves is that
you can write a story. And humour is subjective, so what one person may
consider a 'Great Joke' may seem to others to be contrived or just plain
stupid. You did a bit of selective snipping there, cutting out the point of
that post... considering the two types of points above are useless/subjective,
the other points that people give out don't show anything about people's
characters.
>But pend points are meant to be given out when people are arguing, and
>somehow I doubt in the middle of a heated arguement people will be bothered

People aren't only pedantic when they're arguing, they can be pedantic at any
time.
>To give out pend points, you would have to be a non-biased person capable of
>making moral decisions about a thread. I doubt there are many people who
>could effectivly do this.
So what about the other points? Like I said, who can judge a joke or a story,
or whether something is insane or not? Pedantry is easier to judge than that.
And I doubt many people would take them seriously. Anybody in keeping with the
insanity of AGC would recognise Pedantry Points as something not meant to be
taken as a sign of a bad personality; after all, if you take everything
seriously all the time, you won't get along well here. And I wouldn't force
anyone to add them to their sigs. I'm surprised that you of all people
complained about this, Ricardo, I've found your posts to be frequently amusing
in the past. I thought you were a fellow weirdo :)

I'm not opposed to him giving out points, it's the purpose of the points
that I find stupid. These points are apparently given out when you are in a
heated arguement and are meant to, well, warn people from arguing with you I
suppose. And if it makes you feel better, I'll leave morality out of it. :)

I'm a funny weirdo, and only dangerous to various types of female farm
animals.
The reason I complained, was because I have the idea that giving out these
points may just provoke people further, thereby making more arguements
etc...

They are an indication to other people, of how much you
a) amuse Ricardo
b) interest Ricardo
c) frighten Ricardo

Well, you've been here far longer than I have, and if you think they might
start more arguments, then I think I won't bother with them. I said in an
earlier post that the general atmosphere on AGC was one of good humour and
people wouldn't take the points seriously, but, reconsidering, people do have a
tendency to lose their light-heartedness when involved in a clash of opinions.
I don't want to be the instigator of any more bad feelings on AGC, there's been
enough recently. Anyway, back to the drawing board.

I didn't stop because you disagreed, but you made me think about it, and I
ended up agreeing with you... but it's also the fact that I haven't found that
much pedantry, apart from obvious corrections over spelling and grammar, which
I agree with (and which the Spell Cheka will be dealing with...)
I'd rather give out points for something that is more commonly seen on AGC, and
if I'm not careful, I'd probably end up getting in an argument with someone
over whether something is pedantic or not, and then we'd both end up being
pedantic about the meaning of pedantry.
I think I'll start giving out OBEs, to those who say something that (I feel)
needed to be said. Okay, so that's not why they give out OBEs in real life, but
it makes a great reply to a post:
'Well said. Have an OBE.'

3a. In which order should I write Jon's names?
Generally speaking, you should write his first name first

country where they say names backwards, like China.
Or if you are writing it as an entry in a sort of index, such
as a Address book, although you may still wish to write
his name normally for quick reference.
______________________________________________
3b. Should I put a space between the names?
Yes. You should put a space just after the 'Jon' and
before the 'deMalo'. No other such spaces are needed.
______________________________________________
4. What will Jon do if I don't spell his name right?
If it was an accident, the chances are he will get mildly
annoyed and correct your spelling. If it happens repeatedly
or you do it deliberately, he will most likely get rather angry.
Watch out.

5. Can I abbreviate Jon's name?
Yes. In most instances, it is appropriate to abbreviate
Jon's name to just 'Jon', especially in casual or
conversational situations. Although when in formal situations,
use 'Jon' instead of 'Jon' to avoid confusion.
______________________________________________
6. What about capitals?
You should capitalise the letters 'J' and 'M'. The 'd' is
not capitalised. However, if you are shouting, then capitalise
everything, including the 'd'.
