SRS sucks!

Whether or not you want to use an SRS or not is up to you. But don't debate the factual evidence that it does help you remember what is in it, just the same as reviewing other ways does like you said you do. The thing is some people don't want to bother to try and "schedule" physical reviews as they are too busy or otherwise too distracted with other areas of interest perhaps even in the the said language itself. In other words we all agree that reviewing helps us too remember... so what the hell is this arguement about? You keep bringing up about the fact that you find SRS boring, great, don't do it. But don't assume everyone finds it boring, I personally enjoy successfully reading multitudes of sentences that contain a wide range of vocabulary each day and testing my ability in them, and then reading for enjoyment and speed on top of all that makes for an even more enjoyable experience for me. You don't enjoy SRSing, so just say that, no point arguing against it, rather you're only arguing against the idea of reviewing on a computer which a lot of people don't mind at all.

Are you talking about the catfight that Woodjor picked with me? I didn't want to argue about that. It wasn't even an argument about SRS. It was a stupid argument about him misrepresenting what I said. <---Which you have also just done. You're making the same exact mistake that he made. My point was never that SRS reviews are intrinsically boring. Ever. My point was that SRS reviews *IN COMPARISON TO READING* are boring. On the contrary, I often enjoy sentence reviews very much some days.

And yes, the point of this thread was to argue. What the flip is the point of a discussion forum if you can't argue/debate to explore an issue? I don't think you quite understand the difference between a flame-war and a genuine argument.
