Spelling criticsFollow

I will make sure that I do not correct the spelling and punctuation and grammar in this post and just get it all out in the open.

I cannot stand self appointed spelling and grammar police.

If you have nothing better to say in response to someones post other than to criticise their spelling and grammar why dont you just f*ck off and pick peanuts out of your own Poo?

It is really quiet sad knowing that some people will read through a post and deliberately pick on the spelling or grammar just to feel big and important and like they are somehow better than the OP or respondant to a post.

Are you lives so boring and unfulfilling that you have to take yourselves down to that particular pathetic level that I am having to sink down to just to let you know that you're useless at life but that does not give you the right to pick on others for the way they type things.

Did it occur to you that some people are just not any good with spelling and grammar? does it occur to you that maybe they are in a hurry but felt the need to give a response whilst the thought was in their mind? Does it ever occur to you losers that maybe they have faulty keys on their keyboard, (outside chance, but I used to have a keyboard that had the ' and , broken).

So with all those possibilities I have just listed, and there are more, perhaps you should go stick you're heads in a bucket full of your own p*ss and stop irritating people jsut to make yourselfs feel oh os important and better than others.

You pathetic little vermin. Were you all picked on at school? Or are you bullys that have run out of people to bully and can only point out failings of others behind the security of the internet?

On the whole you are a collection of mind numbingly sad pathetic little pr*cks.

Now f*ck off and do something usefull with your time. All those posting corrections to my post are exactly the kind of people I am talking about. You have been labelled and found wanting. Sad little lonely people.

I believe the word you were looking for is "quite".

Yup, you write posts that make no sense and topics people disagree with because you don't seem to know enough about the topics.



You made a post. In the Asylum. About spelling. Yeah. Oversensitive.



It's the best description for your quality of posts so far. Don't get me wrong, Varrus does it better, but you might be up to his level at some point.

I don't really care Morganne, honestly. It's the Asylum. The entire point is to not let it get to you. And I didn't write "moron." Edit: I think my point is coming across to you poorly. I don't care if you don't write well, or write random nonsense about things you don't seem to understand. Feel free to do so! That's the point of the Asylum. What's pointless is to complain when someone heckles you for it here. Out of the three criticisms offered, only the oversensitive part will hold you back here. If Asylumites can sink their claws into something, they will; and sensitivity is what many go for.

Most intelligent people would realize that, when communicating via a written medium, spending the little extra time cleaning up their text is a good thing. If you think your ideas have value, present them as such.

I'm not speaking of minor errors. Everyone has those. I'm speaking of the "i dont ned to type good 4u cuz its teh internets who cares luser??" types of posts.

Joph's Law.

I'll often offer corrections to spelling, grammar and word usage because you may not know it was incorrect, and education is a good thing.

If I know it bothers you, though, I'll do it just for that.

Also it's "too long", not "to long".

Eliminations are in red. Additions are in blue. You're welcome.

Honestly you were just begging for it.

Ambrya,



I'm a decent speller. Does this mean you take me seriously?

You are a decent speller, but your essential idiocy still shines through.

Pensive,



You misspelled varus.

I don't think most people do it to take you down a level (besides you usually do that on your own). No, I think most people do it because they start to read a post and bad spelling/grammar sticks out like a sore thumb. It prevents them from actually paying attention to the actual message. It's not their fault, it's yours. It'd be like singing off-key in front of a group of record executives (yeah one or two might be stupid enough to sign you anyways), and then crying when they tell you that you suck at singing, "But the lyrics and rhythm was great!" you say. You still suck.

The whole point of writing is to communicate your ideas and opinions. If you can't communicate properly then your ideas and opinions get confused or miss their points. There's nothing wrong with correcting spelling/grammar. I know I'm a better poster because of it, not just corrections of my posts but from others. It might be a pet peeve of yours but in all fairness incorrect spelling/grammar could be someone else's pet peeve.

Rant all you want and claim your fighting 'the machine', but realize that your fighting on the side that's trying to lower the standard. The average person is turning into a spastic diarrhea text fest. It's getting pathetic.


And besides spelling and grammar aside I'm still better than you.

This. Encountering a typo in a sentence is like encountering a critical stop in a computer program for me. Everything is humming along, making sense, comprehension-is-a-go, then BAM! unintentional grammar mistake or humorous typo derails the entire train of thought. It's difficult to resume the program after that, and sometimes I give up because the PC of my brain demands a reboot. (Behold my beautiful mixed metaphors!)
