Rude A$$ posters

CBR954-JUGGERNA · 11-24-2009, 4:24 PM

I would just like to rant for a minute about how some one can get on the site and ask a question or even give an opinion and if they spell something wrong they get their **** jumped by 3 or 4 or even more people. WHY??? I have never been part of a site that there are more ignorant people just because you spelt something wrong!! I know that I am one person who does not have a life that revolves around typing spelling grammar or any of that crap. If you know exactly what someone is saying say hey did you mean this or even say by the way you spelt it wrong. Who really gives a crap that people spell stuff wrong or have improper grammar? Does it in any way affect your life?? I guarantee it doesn’t. I bet I know more about mechanics than most all of you put together but when I see someone say something incorrect do you see me get on there and say hey dumbass??? Seriously people I am sure we are all adults here and can welcome all people in any education range without being dicks and putting them down. I just hope that this rant will help some of you think before insulting people for their grammar or what they believe to be true. It realy is not that hard to tell someone they are wrong without making them feel like sh!t.

Do you have an example, ....i am crap at spelling always have been, yet i have never had a problem on here, hopefully you were unlucky , or dare i say a bit to touchy!!!!! lol.

MACI4LIFE · 11-24-2009, 4:32 PM

you mean site not side? lol

j/k

normally i don't see that type of behaviour here. Maybe you posted something with a huge amount of incorrect spellings?

CBR954-JUGGERNA · 11-24-2009, 4:33 PM

Its cool. I know that I am guilty of it but then usualy on the same thread I will appologize for being a dick. I cant say I have been an aCE without being provoked but I have done it. It just seems that people get on here and ask a question. Then they get attacked. It sure wouldnt make me feel welcome or come back. If I truly cared any way.

Well proper grammar would demonstrate the use of only one punctuation mark at one time. Therefore your use of "??," "???," and "!!" is grammatically incorrect. You also spelled "really" wrong in your last sentence.

jrivas · 11-24-2009, 5:02 PM

... but i think its with a smile like this

.......it b ok

I think when you put put thousands of people from all over the world on one forum, it is exactly what you are going to get, all different kinds of people from all over the world. Some will want to help and some will want to hate, thats the way the ball bounces.

alterego · 11-24-2009, 10:33 PM

some one sould post a list of acronyms so there will be no mistakes or just add spell ck to the site fo those of us who fat finger stuff on our PDA's.

or we could all just use smiles to communicate instead and save on the confusion! so just

and

alittle let them kiss your

and blame it on

CBR929RE · 11-24-2009, 11:23 PM

I love the grammar police. I've done some policing myself in the past. Really, how hard is it to spell and type words correctly? They made us take a typing course back when I was in high school over 10 years ago. People should be able to type words correctly. You can tell when its just a simple typo or when its being misspelled on purpose. Most browsers have built in spell checkers now. If your errors are underlined in red and you don't correct them, you deserve to be called out on it.

I don't pick dampner or dampener because it's spelled wrong, I pick it because one isn't a word at all and the other means something different to what is being discussed. It's not a spelling problem.

But, if I have to work to understand what somebody is saying or asking then it's likely I'll just skip it and go help somebody else instead. If you want somebody's advice you should at least put some effort into being understood. It's not just polite to do so, it's sensible as well.

I was just making a point. Sorry if you thought I was calling you out.

Like I said before I mostly a posting on my blackberry and the predictive text realy sucks. When I am at work that is what I am stuck posting with. There are many times I have had to edit post because it screws with the words or double taps a letter. I took a typing class in Jr high, I am 31 now so ya that was a long time ago. Even if it was yesterday it doesn't keen **** when you are using a pda or not so smart phone. As I stated in the first post there is a difference in saying hey did you mean this as compared to being an a hole about it. All I am saying is people come to this site for
advise and they get put down and called names because they spelt things wrong. It is flat out bullshit no matter what what you're lame ass excuses are.

This post is in no way intended to say do not correct peoples mistakes I am only trying to get the point across that we don't need to A holes about it.

Poor spelling in eBay ads annoys me, IMHO if you want to sell something the least you can do is describe it properly.

"Brought" instead of "bought" is a classic, as in "I brought this a year ago".....
