en el vigésimo siglo.

But why do you ask? Are you working on something in Spanish and you got it all but that?

Did you create an account just to get that answer? Please stick around and take some lessons.

First of all Greg, he must of appreciated your answer since your answer has the check mark, but Moe; I belive "ranting" is just plain rude and should not be accepted, please tell me Moe how can you put effort into something when you don't know what it is? That is the point of "Answers" We should never and I do mean never turn anyone away, you should be ashamed.

Buen trabajo, Chrissie. Eso es muy malo Moe. - Jazmin_la_loca, Sep 29, 2009
I don't think Moe is actually saying to turn people away, but to help them so that hey actually learn, rather than spoon-feed answers to them. It's good if folks first try. - arnold3, Sep 29, 2009
So then Chrissie, what is the meaning and purpose of the Forum Rules and Guidelines to which we are all supposed to subscribe and practice?? - Moe, Sep 29, 2009
No lo sé, pues soy con usted, Chrissie. - eric_collins, Sep 29, 2009
Chrissie and Jzmin, take a look at http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/106165/homework-questions - arnold3, Sep 29, 2009
Chrissie, I had a look at your profile page. Is it true that you will not be 10 years of age until November of this year?? In your school, do the students of your age make the rules?? - Moe, Sep 29, 2009
Well It dosen't matter Moe! Just if someone messes up you shouldn't lash out at them like you did!!! - 0059b488, Sep 29, 2009
I might be young, but I have the mind of a 20 year old and I don't care what you say so leave me alone!!!! - 0059b488, Sep 29, 2009
"I don't care what you say so leave me alone!!!!" also sounds like lashing out ;-) everybody take a chill pill - arnold3, Sep 29, 2009

I think that Moe's comments were not meant to be mean-spirited and were likely directed at his friend Waoji. I have seen many of Moe's posts since joining, and I can not say that I have ever seen him intentionally be rude to anyone. However, to someone who is new to this site, I can see how Moe's "rant" (a term I am sure he used tongue-in-cheek) might have come of as unhelpful or rude.

I think that it might be helpful if we be respectful of all the rules and not just part.

II. Be a positive part of the SpanishDict community

  1. Be helpful, nice, and polite.

If someone's Spanish or English is incorrect, politely provide a correction. There is no need to humiliate or be sarcastic for any reason.

  1. Make friends, not enemies

"Please" "Thank you" "Hello" and "You are awesome" are great additions to any Question or Answer. Remember, we are a community learning together. Treat everyone as a friend and as you wish to be treated. Mean, offensive, obscene, abusive, insulting, threatening, and harassing comments are no allowed. Use of such language will result in banishment from SpanishDict.

To everyone that is new to this site and may have been offended, to not rush to judgment. In my own experiences, generally, everybody here is friendly, helpful and most have a decent sense of humor.

That being said. I think that occasionally attempts at humor can come off as rude. But as I said...for all you newbies that may have taken offense to any statements made on this page, please don't let this scare you off. Stick around for a while and I am sure you will find this entire community here at SpanishDict to be as endearing as I have. grin

If you are new, however, please note that the rest of the rules also apply:

I. Asking a Question using SpanishDict 'Answers'

  1. Look for an answer first

Search our dictionary and look through the definitions, examples, and idioms. Scroll down for a list of Questions already addressing that word in the Answers Forum, or use the Answers Forum's search box.

  1. No cheating on school assignments.

These forums do not provide free schoolwork, translations, or revisions of texts. You may submit your attempt at an assignment and members have the opportunity to correct it, but no one will do your assignment for you.

This is Moe's night to "Rant".

 

Marleyklion has presented this question without any attempt on his own to suggest a solution and ask if it is correct.

 

We must A L L of us commit to the Rules and Guidelines of our forum.

 

If you have forgotten, you can re-read them here Rules and Guidelines.

 

We must all become exemplars in this or others will simply cave in and respond out of a strong feeling of wanting to help and not turning anyone away.

 

We must be together on this or it will fail.

 

Moe

You're right, Moe. - Goyo, Sep 29, 2009
I'm with you Moe. - arnold3, Sep 29, 2009
"We must all hang together...or we will surely hang apart" Oh...sorry...I got a little teared up with the whole Moe's last stand thing you had going on :wink: - Izanoni1, Sep 29, 2009

"(en) El siglo veinte" is more commonly used in Spanish.

Uh oh...Moe. Looks like a scab just broke the picket line - Izanoni1, Sep 29, 2009
This "scab" is my very good friend. He is the reason I worded my chiding so gently. - Moe, Sep 29, 2009

For those who think it's okay to do people's homework for them...please take a look at this person's homework question and see if you can figure out the answer for him.
