Question

What is this "skype" thing I keep hearing on the service? What problem is it supposed to solve?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you already know what skype is

Answer 2

Well you see Skype is more effective in teaching someone over the internet

Answer 3

Here - of course. Thanks!

Answer 4

Geometry_Hater - That is exactly what I am trying to understand. And, what "integration" are users of Open Study asking for when they keep bringing up Skype?

Answer 5

I am not looking for "Hero's" point of view. :-)

Answer 6

Lets say its easier to explain things with your actual voice

Answer 7

Ah...."voice" is the reason. I would never have thought of that. I actually disagree with it in the sense that many people answering and helping on this forum are from the South Asian region and their accent would be a huge problem for US-based learners.

Curious yet why so many people keep bringing it up and why that subject is popular.

Answer 8

You'd be surprised

Answer 9

Well i dont blame you not everyone can learn things the same way.....

Answer 10

Interesting...!

Answer 11

It would be better if we were made without mouths and voices. That way, everyone would be forced to write instead of talk. Things would get done much faster that way.

Answer 12

That would be an interesting scenario ....

Answer 13

Besides, some people's voices are just plain annoying

Answer 14

Ya like mine

Answer 15

For example, there was this girl that I was interested in and I was talking to her via skype. But her voice was so annoying that I eventually got tired of her talking. I eventually just stopped talking to her. It was really bad. Then I just completely deleted her profile.

Answer 16

Lol

Its a Blind date

Answer 17

Ya i had the same thing with this guy who had this american accent that grated on my nerves so i just stopped

Answer 18

American Accent > Canadian Accent

And btw, what is a zed?

Answer 19

zee!!!

Answer 20

No, zee and zed are not the same thing. As far as what I've been told zed means zero or undefined number or something. We refer to zee as a letter, not a number. You canadians need to figure out what to use zed for. It can't be used for both zero and zee.

Answer 21

Well zed isnt a word but just an alphabet!!!

Answer 22

I guess you thought you were telling me something that I didn't know.

Answer 23

It's going to take you a long time before you're able to do that

Answer 24

Answer 25

Its not good to be such a tuck up!!!

Answer 26

Answer 27

lol! I was just about to say you know what tuck is and I don't

Answer 28

Why do you think I'm stuck up?

Answer 29

Cuz u always think u r right and e/t u propose is the best

Answer 30

basically you think u r G-d

Answer 31

that doesn't mean that I'm stuck up, it just means I think I'm G-d.

Answer 32

Oh wait..

Answer 33

Answer 34

Chip on the shoulder. Boss around. Throwing your weight around. Hmmmm.....
