Please rip it all to hell if you've got 5 minutes to burn. I'm young, overly ambitious, and (I hope) prepared for a taste of real criticism from those whom I hope with time to consider me a peer.

No dude, I wish I could've seen your post pre-edit. There isn't a language barrier. I'm just wickedly sleep deprived. I was just trying something.
Ohh...

I said I didn't think you were wrong, because I didn't think you managed to use language well enough to rise to the standard of communicating something that would be able to be judged right or wrong. Then I suggested that maybe you were really really really high. Or sleep deprived. Or using a highly technical language I did not know.

Then I thought there was no way someone who actually spoke english as a first language would of wrote that and decided I was an ass making inappropriate fun of someone who didn't speak english as a first language and was making an honest effort to communicate. I don't want to discourage non native english speakers going out on a limb and trying to talk, so I deleted my post.

Knowing you speak english as a first language, I feel better about saying you didn't make any goddamn sense to me with that word jazz.

It's cool I guess that you're thinking so unconventionally that your post would fit in an ee cummings journal.

Awesome, thanks for reposting.

That movie (it's a B-movie) was based on a short story by Phillip K Dick. And, I used some BNSF grammar.

I see words but they don't parse into anything I can understand.
What am I supposed to criticize? Your post reminds me of a time a guy asked me to do a code review of his java hello world program. I couldn't tell if he was f'ing with me, or if he was really seriously that much of a n00b.
