Before anyone corrects my previous post. Those typos are supposed to be
there. I put them in to pick at Ray Fischer for his attitude towards
beginners in C++. Just two of the typos that I can recall right off are:
  hyprcrites instead of hypocrits
                 and
  ab! out instead of about
I'm a prankster and like picking at people if they deserve it and well in my 
eyes Ray Fischer definitely deserved it for his attitude and one way mind. 
I've kept my mind open to all forms of programming, HTML, C, C++, Java, 
Assembly, etc., but Mr. Fischer doesn't seem to be opened minded. He appears 
to me as the type of person that only goes with what he thinks is right and 
foget what the actual "right way to do things". I am, as I said before, a 
beginner, but at least I plan to help beginners whenever I become good 
enough to help them. The reason I say "good enough" instead of an expert 
programmer is because there is no such thing as an expert programmer. The 
term "expert programmer" implies that you know everything about programming 
and that just isn't humanly possible because there is too much to learn and 
there is always new things and methods being thought of to help make C++ 
programming faster or to make a program built with C++ faster and more 
useful than it would just using the normal ways that us "beginners" use to 
do things.

Funny part is there are some "beginners" out there somewhere that have
learned something Mr. Fischer hasn't and can do things he can't, but they 
are a beginner because they have only been doing it a few months and know 
the equivalent of an expert because he studies 24/7. Sorry, I get going when 
I talk about something that is important to me.
