Oh your right actually your reall right but like i said im looking for beginners wanting to group up and learn C++ not dumass who say the first thing that come out of there butt. I speak english and im proud of how i speak it along with my spanish and french. Plus its the internet so i doubt anyone would really care. Im not trying to offend you but dont worry about the grammar but what the threads about. The number is a 3rd party number much like thoses apps so i wouldnt care much about it and trust me ive done studies and research and i know that real information should never be put up unless im positivly sure thats its 100% legit.
Let me begin by saying that I do not mean to insult you, or be unkind - I sincerely want to help you. Please, allow me to explain why grammar matters.
First off, the reason for learning a language is to communicate. Being able to communicate is vital (I'm sure I don't have to explain why). Misspelled words, grammatical errors, and flaws in organization impede communication (sometimes making it virtually impossible). I would say that the quality of your post could be improved by:
- Spelling words correctly.
- Fixing grammatical errors throughout sentences.
- Writing complete sentences.
- Forming sentences into clear, organized paragraphs.
The easiest way to accomplish such things is by
proofreading. Before posting (or even immediately after posting), read, revise, and edit your post.
If you struggle with English as a second language, consider switching to a browser with built-in spell-checking (such as
You must login or register to view this content.). Google offers another great service,
You must login or register to view this content., which will allow you to translate from your native dialect to English (with a fair amount of accuracy).
In the modern day, with all the technology around us, there is no excuse for writing
ugly posts.
This leads me to my second point: failing English makes you look stupid. I won't sugarcoat it, you look stupid - or at least extremely lazy (as you can't be bothered to write proficiently). Either way, it makes others look down on you, and it makes you look far too incompetent to ever become a programmer. If you're too lazy or too stupid to communicate appropriately, you're too lazy or too stupid to become a programmer.
Believe it or not, programming requires a great deal of communication with other humans (perhaps more so than communication with your computer) - which is why you need to learn to communicate now.

Second, you should make people request your number rather than publicly showing it, remember registered and non-registered users can see it.
Third, if you are a beginner then I suggest you download an E-Book and get a good understanding of the language first, then team up with others. You don't want to team up with a few others and begin learning the language incorrectly with one another and then think that that is the correct way to go about things. (Exception to this is if you were doing it with people you know in real life and are able to go to another's house and or do it at the same time).
I completely agree with you. It really is a mistake to post your phone number online; and it's better to start learning the language individually and combine later (or learn from a teacher, working together under that teacher) - otherwise, you'll end up with a bunch of bad methodologies and misconceptions.
