I'm coming off as highly negative. I completely admit that. But arrogant? I'm not arrogant. In order for me to be arrogant, I would have to advertise and over blow my own abilities. Which I haven't. You should look up the word before you use it incorrectly. Also, you have to realize OP is not a kid. If a young kid was saying this stuff, I'd be encouraging. But he's basically an adult. And I'm not tearing him down, I'm telling him he'll turn out average. Additionally the OP is bragging about his accomplishments. It's literally the definition of arrogant.

How people perceive you is not dictated by a precise definition of the word. You seem to be aware that people are perceiving you in a particular way but rather than adjusting your communication you are trying to argue with them about their interpretation instead. I don't know you and it's perfectly possible that if we were having beers I would think you were a perfectly reasonable person. But be aware that in text this: You should look up the word before you use it incorrectly. comes across as arrogant whether you intended it to or not. And continuing to use your current style of phrasing is gong to continue to make people think you are arrogant regardless of whether you actually are or not.

  >How people perceive you is not dictated by a precise definition of the word. So? Is my objective centered around perception? No. >You seem to be aware that people are perceiving you in a particular way but rather than adjusting your communication you are trying to argue with them about their interpretation instead. No, I'm correcting a person about wrong usage of a particular vocabulary word. >... comes across as arrogant I think that's a reasonable response given that someone called me arrogant. You think you can go around calling someone arrogant and not have a little retaliation in the response? Are you yourself not aware of your own words? I'm perfectly aware of the subtleties my response entails.

    I was trying to help you understand why you were getting the responses you were getting. Since it appears that you intend for this perception to exist I guess we are done.

      I understand why, and I expected it. There's a greater lesson to be learned from your end, that perception != everything. That truth is hidden in the messages poorly received. You would do well to learn that rather then attempting to always teach other people obvious things, sometimes you yourself is the person that is acting immature and needs to learn something less obvious. Think about what I said to this person and whether the OP will end up as one of the greatest programmers or just average. In probability, who told him the truth. Are you even aware that attempting to teach someone something by calling them "arrogant" will lead to nothing? That's another lesson for you. To teach is not to insult, but to respect another persons opinion while providing your own. I'm not respecting your opinion, so my intention isn't to teach you anything. It's to dominate... this is your own intention as well... I mean with phrases like... "we're done here"... let's be real; what's going on in this thread is an argument, you weren't trying to teach my anything.
