One thing I don't think we appreciate enough about this site.


Excluding occasional typos, 95% of us spell everything correctly and have good sentence structure. It seriously makes reading posts so much easier.

We're geniuses!

reply

I think it's because we're mostly older people here.

reply

Yeah, that's probably it. I don't think there's many people under 30 on this site.

reply

It's a good point. I was kind of surprised when I saw a recent post where someone said they were 25.

Eye ugree 100%, alibi.

I wonder what the devil he’s going on about?

reply

I appreciate that there's very little text-speak here. I'd rather not have to decode a post that's written with a bunch of abbreviations, although I do run into it when folks use initials for a movie or TV title. I don't always know what they're talking about.

reply

I hate stuff like "ur"and "l8r". Don't make people decode stuff because you're lazy to type it.

reply

No worries. I realized this the first time you came to my basement and obeyed me when I told you to sit down in your chair and watch St. Elmo's Fire on an infinite loop. You knew better than to resist!

reply

I think you know. No names needed.

What kind of word is "takethe"? I'm too lazy to look it up!

reply

[deleted]

My own words??? Like you said yourself, buddy: "READING...ITS FUNDAMENTAL AND SHIT."

reply

OK.YOU WIN.

reply

Dude, why did you delete your posts??? Don't be ashamed of who you are!

reply

Dang, now I can't see how embarrasing his posts were.

reply

Does anyone know what the correct usage of “.....” is?

reply

I wish I'd of said that.

reply

👍 🙄

reply

Don't even joke about that. That's a huge irritation of mine.

reply

Mine too.

And in fact it says all that needs to be said about Education in these times.

reply

Or when people say "I could care less".

reply

YES! That isn't simply ungrammatical; it's just plain nonsensical. They always mean they could not care any less than they already do, but they declare the exact opposite.

It's another sign that they weren't exposed to the discipline of language.

reply

"I could care less" makes sense as sarcasm.

reply

But only if it's said in the form of a question, Jack.

reply

But maybe they mean that their care level was not at minimum yet, they still could care less if they wanted to but for some reasons decided that it's low enough.

reply

LMAO...IM PICTURING THEM FLICKING A GAUGE AND SAYING THAT NOW.

reply

Don't try to justify their crime. Improper grammar is one of the worst crimes someone can commit. Worse than murder.

reply

Meh, like I could care less...

reply

That's the way!

reply

That and stuff like "chocolate is better then vanilla".

reply

I hate that too. Now that I mention it, improper "to", "two" and "too" irritates me too.

reply

"Two" and "two" ??

reply

Two, too.

reply

Yeah, this one. ^^^

reply

We have mmc2 to keep us in line with his constant admonitions of, "the words you wanted there were...".

reply

Amen, db20db!
