What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever had to write on?

It's not about the subject, it's about you! If you have no idea about what you are writing about; it'll be hard to find words and you'll get bored and sick to death.

 

you'd better not know think electronic po*n

 

Omarabid you've been double posting a lot lately; is this to push your post count? :S

 

have to agree that the medical articles can be a bit boring at times, but once you push through it, it's actually quite interesting to learn. it's common for men to have prostate cancer, so the information could be handy for a male friend or relative who may contract prostate cancer one day!

 

certainly not. I would post 4 words replies in the Adsense forum if I want to push my post count. To be sincere, I was doing this lately, but I then released that I could invest my time on more worthy things.

 

Not to be off topic, but you're islam? me too!

 

micheallatour - ah, we discuss that kind of thing in Politics and Religion.

Also - you're on my friends list from a discussion we had on writing content; but you might now wish to be after seeing my views in P&R. If you remove me, that'll be understandable.

Omarabid - if you genuinely aren't trying to push the post count watch the double replies, I didn't report you but someone might, then you'll lose a lot of posts.

 

Funeral Care. Never doing that again.

 

As far as I know, separate postings to separate comments are how "Reply With Quote" works. If I had separate things to say to a couple of separate topics I'd probably use separate posts. If there are many separate subthreads in a discussion, they might call for separate posts for replies, but by that time the discussion might have become overly unbraided. Weaving together several topics in a single reply to the thread would call for a single post.

 

It's just easier for me to click a button to quote, rather than copy and paste and add your username.

 

1. We don't say: I'm islam. but I'm muslim.
2. As alexispetrov pointed out, this is not the right place to discuss it. Also you can send a PM if you really want to know.

 

Omarabid; I understand what you are saying; I am honestly not having a go - this isn't P&R - I'm just saying watch the double posts. If you piss anyone off here they are liable to go and report them all. (It happens.) And the infractions add up.

Swim, you can quote multiple people in one post - it's copy and paste. I'm not opposed to multiple posts - but some are - and it does violate the rules; I've been in trouble for it myself - and as omarabid is clearly contributing to the discussion I'd rather not see it happen to him/her.

 

Some translation of test results from the research & development iterations of a pharmaceutical company that was developing a new pill. Biology and chemistry were my worst and most-hated subjects in school and these guys didn't provide any information on what all the fri*** abbreviations or industry expressions meant, so I had to delve deep and study a lot. In the end, I improved the original text considerably because the translation ended up being way more comprehensive, and then I told them that I would never do something similar again.

 

Once, I wrote on horse related issues. It took me 10 hours to research. The issues were very different an i had no knowledge on horse issues.

 

interesting thread. I have never taken the offer to write for others, even though several webmasters had approached me. Maybe I should ask about the subject before turning down. Maybe I can send them a sample about eating rats, "10 recipes to boil rats!"

 

Boiling is not eating, it is merely the first step. With a quick search, I see there indeed is subject matter you can start with.
However, you probably don't want to leave your potential clients with a bad taste in their mouth.
