Imagine you are black, now I call you a n|gger. Feel offended, because it's a slur used to denote you to that of an inferior animal.
I still think people should not feel offended by ignorant statements by ignorant people, but who am I to say?

I did just say that it's no excuse, however, you try to learn to spell correctly when your teacher can barely spell his own middle name. I do rather better than he ever did I think, and normally I'm careful about it, making sure to run everything through spell check first. I don't think that a single misspelled word, typed in annoyance should be given quite this amount of weight. Not to mention bipolar, and shortcoming, use your hyphens correctly when criticizing others, love.

Being annoyed is one thing, because annoyance is aimed at the other person.
Being offended is another, because one feels as if someone has insulted him/her personally, and this can result in annoyance.

Bi-polar can be spelled either way, the hyphen is used to show a close connection between the two words. The fact you don't know that, makes me wonder.
Also it's: I did just say that it's no excuse; however, you try to learn to spell correctly when your teacher can barely spell his own middle name.
You made a comma splice.

I know what a hyphen is for, however, knowing from my own history of psychological issues, bipolar is the correct medical spelling. Someone once tried to suggest I had it. I do not, I was suffering from a severe eating disorder, and my hormones were thrown rather out of whack, but I did learn how to spell the mother-fucking thing. Is it just me, or would we have really good angry sex?

Probably good really angry sex. Too bad you don't live in New York, and that I can't be bothered to have sex anymore. It's all relative to the animal instinct, and I prefer to denounce it frequently and ignore people's advances.
But I always make an excuse for love. Also, you made another comma splice, let me explain.
A comma splice is when you use a comma instead of a semi-colon as in:
I know what a hyphen is for; however, knowing from my own history of psychological issues, bipolar is the correct medical spelling.
Also the preposition at the end of the semi-colon is really 'colloquial,' not formal, it should be: "I know how to use a hyphen; however, knowing from my own history of psychological issues, bipolar is the correct medical spelling."
The semi-colon is used to bind two closely related independent clauses, basically two VERY closely related sentences. Such as those two you have used up there.
This is of course college level punctuation, and mine isn't perfect, but the comma splice is one of the biggest mistakes made in punctuation.

I also know what a comma splice is; my editor routinely tries to explain them to me. I routinely don't listen.

It never hurts to try and to change >_>
It's better to attempt to improve, than it is to blow it off and have the same mistakes and explanations repeated.

Aw thanks. Acually I do dye my hair black alot. Strange;I get a lot of people saying I look better with black hair than my natural color! But I love being a Goth Blonde. That picture is old by the way, and I usually dont look like that. I have more piercings now and am usually dressed bit more....dark. But thank you.
And again, sorry for reposting. I couldnt remember and couldnt find mt previous posts. Yeah...cant forget the eyebrows...

Not one of the new ones, one of the old 1980's ones. I've been told I've got every STD known and unknown to man...

Hey, I'm back, if anyone even noticed I ever went away  .
I felt like posting a pic. Here I am with one of my best friends, Anna (which is also my name...) I'm standing to the right.
