Good and bad news... 04 Nov 2016 02:05 #91011
|
Hello everybody,
As most of you might have remarked, I've been less active on this forum the past few months. I am now in third class of school and live quite far away from my school so after I've done that shitty homework I have not many time left for myself. Plus, I follow lessons Latin and Greek and will be following Cambridge English from fourth class off. Those and more reasons are pushing me for not being active anymore for some time...  BUT... Hold on, I will be coming back  Remember that and remember I still love this community and, of course, the game itself. Of course I will be looking at possible new mods sometimes or in looking-worthy Offtopic topics  Bye (not goodbye), GermanCarsFan (GCF) |

Love Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin and basically any British or German car brand.

The title should be "Good news..."... I suppose that should have been worded a bit differently. Initially I thought you were saying it was good that he won't be very active anymore  .Anyway, Good luck on your studies . |

I also thought the same thing what your saying should be entitled differently otherwise other people are going to think you are being horrible about users leaving. I hope you do well in schoolwork and homework studies.
We will like to see you come back as soon as possible. It doesn't give me a nice feeling to see someone leave. |

However, he starts another idea in the next paragraph, which shows that he will be coming back, but then if you put it in the context of the title and its interpretation, it still gives the idea that he will be coming back after a span of inactivity, which still supports why the title given is "Bad news...".Moving on - if the title were to simply be "Good news...", then that would make his first paragraph irrelevant to the title. It would not serve its purpose as an interpretation of the title. Why would it be good news if he starts off by saying he's gonna be inactive for a bit? What point would he make by telling us he's gonna remain as active as he already is through the title and primary point? Simply put, if he were to change the title of his post to "Good news...", then he would also have to change the structure and phrasing of his main post to make being active the primary/main idea and being inactive as a secondary idea. However, if he were to leave it as is, then the primary idea would be his inactivity, because that is indeed bad news and is an interpretation of the title, and his reassurance to us regarding his return in the future would be the secondary idea, because the latter is good news and does not interpret the title. If you really insist on disagreeing to the title being "Bad news..." and I disagree to the proposal of having the title as "Good news...", then I have a proposal we can both agree on - that a better title would be "Good and bad news...". Nothing personal; just some food for thought Cheers, Jericho |
