<p>"i know we are supposed to wait for the postcard if something is missing, but what if the postcard becomes lost in the mail"</p>

<p>"because"</p>

<p>"what"</p>

<p>if you're going to an ivy league, do try to use correct english please.</p>

<p>apologies...i'm feeling elitest and stuck-up tonight. but seriously. english.</p>

<p>::cracks up:: </p>

<p>Ahem. Sorry.</p>

5

<p>ok im sorry if i use msn too much and say I DUNNO instead of i do not know. gosh ppl. come on</p>

6

<p>don't apologize to us; apologize to yourself when you get rejected.</p>

7

<p>oh my god.. don't be so mean!!!</p>

8

<p>how r u gonna git ppl tu understan u????????? how du we no wut u r talkin uhbout??????</p>

<p>Eye dunt ker if ya youse msn 2 much... I just don't hope you typed your admissions essays like this.</p>

<p>C'mon... the least you could do is type your message in correct english so we'll be more inclined to read the message. It's tedious trying to decipher your "msn" language. Geez.</p>

<p>"What if the postcard goes lost in the mail" !!!!!! oh man, you could have typed in "gets" without typing any more letters!!!</p>

<p>The world's going mad!!! I don't mean to go on a rampage against you, but you set yourself up for a barrage of criticism.</p>

<p>he want ivy!</p>

10

<p>whoa whoa whoa.. hostile lol
ok let me try to answer your question.. um.. actually i have the same question.. anyone?? want to answer?</p>

11

<p>haha would you mind asking the question using standard English? I find it difficult to read pig latin...</p>

12

<p>the chances of that happening are really bleak...... well and of it does happen they would inform, you over the phone or email which umay send in after a reasonable amount of time... </p>

<p>SM</p>

13

<p>haha, i find this thread quite funny....</p>

<p>(psht: i think iwantivy and whyohwhy is da same person!!!)</p>

14

<p>It just might be the same person trying to redeem his/herself.</p>

15

<p>man, you guys suck</p>

<br>

<p>Don't you really mean 'american'? Most people who
go to the Ivies don't write English. They write american,
warts and all. And the newest american usage can be
found in IM, text(ing), and of course white rap.</p>

<p>If you do get to the Ivies you'll learn that you learn
all the rules so you can then 'break all the rules'.
C'est la vie. Learn a foreign language. Forget english.</p>

17

<p>WOOOOWWWWWW.... who really gives a crap about STANDARD WRITTEN ENGLISH??</p>

<p>you guys just need to CHILL... the person's just trying to ask a simple question!!</p>

<p>just hearing people judging others purely off their internet jargon and abbreves makes me never want to go to an Ivy league. is that really how people treat each other at UPenn?? i sure hope not!!</p>

18

<p>I agree, all of you know what he is asking, why does the manner in which he asks it matter at all?</p>

19

<p>Think of it this way -- if you were "smart," you should have no problem figuring out what the post said in the first place. So what if the sentences are slightly funky? That doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and say "I give up! Frame it perfectly or I can't answer it!" :P You all know perfectly well what the question is, but just choose to be asses, mehh.</p>

<p>Iwantivy: Chances are, the postcard will make it to you. If everyone else gets postcards, and you still do not have one two weeks later, then give Penn a call and let them know what's up.</p>

20

<p>it's not about "framing it perfectly". and it's not about not being able to understand what he says, because i did.</p>

<p>i just have a problem with people who make themselves seem stupider than they are (and i'm sure he's very smart given the fact that he's even applying to penn). so why seek to condescend yourself purposefully?</p>

<p>sorry, but i'm of the philosophy that first impressions matter.</p>
