There's an old song that claims, "You always hurt the one you love." If that's the case, then perhaps you really do love English. I don't think that's the case, though. I think you're just trying to fuck with me. Why else would you extol the virtues of our language while mangling simple verb conjugation, failing the its/it's distinction, making no effort to form paragraphs or even proper sentences, and claiming to hate the practice of capitalization? Surely you would implode into a singularity of irony if your reply was serious.

i'm being called to the mat for a failure to use capitalization (which i can't stand) all the while others type/speak in a nearly unintelligible manner, free from any censure.
i love the english language and believe i utilize it's capacities quite well.
personally, i prefer to not be bogged down by minutiae. and i DO love this site. but my suggestion would be to (at a minimum) take the tone and tenor of the written piece and recognize what truly constitutes 'difficulty' in reading...
thank you for your time.
i shall endeavor to capitalize, at least on your site.

Mage: Simple Questions/Simple Answers

the questions regarding IA have prompted me to ask a question i've been curious about for a long time.
granted, i might be ignorant in my (lack of) understanding, but here goes:
which takes place first? the 'resist' or the 'absorb'?
in other words, do i hinder my probabilities of proc'ing IA by having high resists (including MA)? if i 'resist' something, do i lose the chance to 'absorb' it too? does one take place before the other? do they take place simultaneously? are they not related in this particular senario?

All the best,
Elitist Jerks
