ToddCS => TROLL!

Good post. A bit too informal for me. Guess I better check the code.

Nice blog. Thanks!

In the following sentence: "As you an see requiring the file a second time fails but 'including' it passes."

Do you mean "loading" instead of "including"?

Thanks a lot..this clears my doubt.

I'm just pointing out that ToddCS wrote:

Is ToddCS's English about a sloppy as I have ever seen? I don't know. I've seen a lot of English. Seriously, I go out every day, and let me tell you, I see English. But of all the English I've seen ToddCS's is about a sloppy as I've ever seen.

Thank you for this post. I play with mod_ruby today. Now I understand why I need to use load instead of require when developping.

Hey, "ToddCS" is spelled wrong. It should probably be spelled as "douche bag".

ToddCS, you are a cunt.

@ToddCS

Wow. Your snarky, pedantic comment adds absolutely nothing to the content of this post. Perhaps rather than spending so much effort correcting someone (who, I might add, you do not know, and may not even be a native English speaker) you should consider adding something *useful*

And err, ToddCS, if you read this page ever again... lighten up - it really doesn't matter! And it's not like your post is perfect either ;)

Hello, Robert -

You concluded your piece with "I hope this post clears up any confusion."

Well, sort of. But not really.

I am sure you are a consummate professional in your field. But your English is about a sloppy as any I have ever seen. You wrote:

>> but there are
>> circumstances where 'load'
>> is preferably.

Ouch. Did you mean "preferable", perhaps?

And your (non-)use of punctuation:

You wrote:

>> "Now lets play in our
>> nifty IRB
>> and 'require' our destined
>> to be
>> hugely popular file."

I had to read that sentence about four times until I finally figured out that you meant: "... our destined-to-be-hugely-popular file."

And by the way: You should have written "Let's", not "Lets". As you used the word, it is a contraction for "let us", and a contraction requires an apostrophe.

Worst of all, the purported premise of your post is to explain the difference between 'load' and 'require' in Ruby. But then you start mentioning 'include' out of left field, while you apparently meant 'load', not 'include'. You wrote:

>> "Now lets see what happens
>> if we 'require'
>> and 'include' our file a
>> second time.
>> ...
>> As you an see requiring
>> the file a
>> second time fails but including >>it passes."

Also, the opposite of "fail" in this context is "succeed", not "pass". You can fail or pass a test, but the test itself fails or succeeds.

So, again, this is not meant as a personal attack. On the contrary, as your fellow human being and software developer I assure you that I hold you in the highest possible regard. But if you want to help your colleagues with your writing, please write better and clearer.

Thanks!

Todd
