Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
Hey I'm new and I was wondering if anyone would help me write a story.
Message me if you wanna help.

A couple of good bets for co-authors are: cool74, fergie14233, Zikara, NeverMind, ThisisBo, and SindriV. But mostly everyone is realy busy with their own stories right now. Currently there is a contest being held.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

I'm not participating in the contest, so I'm free (well, not free, I'm still working on something, but I could provide some help), one thing, I am not a native english speaker, so  if you want your co-author to be someone that can correct errors, I am not going to be useful.

Kaisaki, we're having what is called a "High Fantasy" contest. High fantasy is basically something that exists in a fictional world, like Eragon. If you believe you would be able to write one, please, join the contest! It's great to have a goal in site.

I'd be happy to offer critique and double-check your work for spelling/grammar errors (ie. not write but edit), though I'm real busy working on my story for the Fantasy Contest at the moment so if you're interested I may take a while.

Well I'm currently busy procrastinating with my own story, but look me up if you need any help. I'm apparently known as the "Grmmar Nazi" now (looking at you Cool), so if you ever want me to help you had better prepare for many alteration suggestions.

Why is the ell of your well a link bo?

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

because he accidentally put a few backslashes in there by the looks of it. And html turns that into a link.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

Believe it or not, I get A's on my grammar tests. I just can't implement it into my writing.

Good God, your teacher gives out bonus points like they are going out of style.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
Well actually most of the bonus points are from hard work. I had to do homework early, participate everyday in class, Pass back assignments, and other remedial task. It was tough boring work but I got an A out of it. I also got called up with 8 other students and was told we were the best kids in any of her classes and she hoped her kids grew up like us. I try my best to get the grades. I want.

Jesus. 72% is a C-?

Sixth from the bottom.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

Yeah, I caught it read below for explanation.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

grammar test JJJ not Vocab. Vocab is like root words curr=run aqua=water that type of stuff. I missed those mostly due to my terrible spelling.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

Thats how it is in my school 60-69=D 70-79=C 80-89=B 90-100=A

I don't remember any of my teachers markings -s though, I know what they mean but they just don't use them.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

You got a D on your Vocab test? For shame, Cool, for shame.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
Like I said due to spelling errors. But honestly when in real life will I ever need to know that a at the begging of the word means not.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

I had to read that sentence like three times, and yes you will lol. "A" is in everyday words, and you will need them for some jokes (I know Tosh uses that word occasionally), posisbly for your job, and if you just want to look smart :) It could be words like asexual, or abiotic that you hear everyday.

In other news, I love vocab. I always performed best in that part of English untill we got into book and poetry interpretation. (I read a lot)

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
Obviously and that is the easy part for me. I am good at reading, interpretations, sprouting facts about a book, and writing. I have a spelling disability.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

Why do you rip on cool so much lol. Plus, I know your actually a good student and I've seen your spelling Ugi lol.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

I've been wondering this lately, myself.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

Wondering what Zikara?

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

I'm assuming why Ugilick apparently has a personal vendetta towards you.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
In University, an A is 85. I'm not sure about the lower ones since I don't ever get them but I'm sure a C- is 50. It's crazy that you need that high of a mark for a C-.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

High School isn't nearly as hard as college, so maybe they give you some leeway? Either that or its your freaky-deaky Canadian school system lol.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

I am lucky my Grade report looks this good honestly.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

What is the lowest possible passing mark, Cool?

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

most likely 60

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
D is passing but in math you need to get a C.

Weird, at my university and my high school it was

A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 59 or lower

You got kicked out the HS if you had a GPA lower than 2.0 (C). It was a little bit higher for the university like 2.5 I think. For grad school, you had to at least have GPA of 3.0, since C work and lower wasn't really acceptable by that time.

In any case you were usually given time to shape up though.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

My GPA is around 3.5

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

I have no idea how to calculate GPA and I havn't taken an aptitude test (or something simular), so I don't know my IQ either lol.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

Well according to an IQ test I took when I was little. I am 2 points below Genius.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

I took an IQ test when I was younger as well, but it was mostly just colouring in pictures and playing with toys, so I discounted it. Now that I look back, there could be some Psychiatric methods there, but they never told me or my mom the answers anyway, they just let me into some advanced program at the school.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

Yeah well all mine got me was a "Your an really intellgent kid with social and pheontic problems". I am often asked if I lived in Bostin, the UK, Austrilla, and Austria before living in California. That question gets very annoying. I cant pronance a Hard R sound and somtimes make the "th" sound a 'f' sound.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

As a kid I had huge R problems, and although I got through most of them in speech class (in elementary school it was a basic speech therapy program, completely different than the real Speech class), but I still have a weakness in that region. I also had a problem with the SH sound, but I got over that one by second grade.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

I havn't actually heard of expelling students based on GPA either, kinda hypocritical isn't it? We are going to kick you out of a place of learning because you havn't learned enough?

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
I wound up getting a 3.1 when I finished High School, my college I'm in I have about a 2.5. College's do expel you when your GPA is low enough. That's all I know :P

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
The high school I went to was a little odd. It was a public school, but you had to take a test to get in like it was a private school. Typically you couldn't transfer in either, though I know there were a couple of students that managed to. But yeah, like I said you had to keep your GPA up at least past C level and if you hadn't shaped up by summer, you were looking for a new school for the fall.

Anyway I think they've relaxed the standards on GPAs a bit since then though.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

That is odd, but I would like to enroll, even if you can't transfer lol.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

That highschool sounds great, fewer dumb people who dont want to learn! wonderfull!

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
My highschool GPA was 4.0 which was sick, but it wasn't a particularly challenging highschool and although I aced the standardized tests, they weren't very difficult either, I don't think. I really wish I took an SAT to see how I would have really shaped up. Since I didn't apply to American schools, I never did.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

My cousin's report card said he had a 4.3 (They weren't just making him feel better, he is actually wicked smart), can that actually happen? He goes to a different school so I don't know how they do things, but I thought all A's was 4.0

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
Yeah, some schools let you do that if you take more than a full course load. I took more than a full course load but they don't do that in my school district.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

cool, that was constantly confusing me lol.

Bo did he take AP classes because then they are worth collage credits and I know an A in ap is worth 5.0.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

I think he was taking AP chemistry or something.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
That would explain it then. In a AP class A's are worth 5.0 B's 4.0 C's 3.0. And you can't get a D.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

I still don't know how GPA is calculated, but he did get at least a 4.3, and he had all As and Bs

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

you would average all the grades out under those guidlines.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago
You are right. You would find the mean. Add all the prectnage points together than divide by number of classes taken to find the GPA.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

You all got WAY off topic there. I'll help co-author if you want, just message me.

Hi I'm a Newbie, anyone wanna help me co-author??

13 years ago

As far as I know we don't have letter grades at uni, only at high school. We can get a Pass (50-59%), Credit (60-69%), Distinction (70-79%) or High Distinction (80-100%).

I can't remember what the grades were at high school, but I think you needed 93% for an A+, 85% for an A... that's all I can remember. There were no "minus" grades, though, like no A- or B- or anything. It just went A+, A, B+, B, C+ etc., and instead of F for some bizarre reason it was UG (ungraded).
