All who post here share an interest in running, but many are deficient in the art of sarcasm detection.

Here are some hints: quotations marks (")and the dead giveaway use of (sic) meaning the word is reproduced as originally spelled but is actually probably misspelled.

Nonetheless of course most would ignore the misspelling because they obviously know who the guy is talking about. And I still can't get that Ritz guys named spelled right. Is it necessary to point this out? Of course not, but some people are so anal-compulsive they can't let it slide.

But those dudes are pretty skinny, aren't they?

Just how hard is it to get right?

Yes, it is necessary to point and laugh at ignorance.

"Ignorance" is a word that is used way to freely on here.

Someone who never has heard of the Torres brothers arguably can be called somewhat ignorant I guess.

There are actually some very intelligent people who have trouble with spelling simple words. As an example their are two very competent women who work in the office where I work. One has a college degree in business administration, graduating with a 4.0. Yet she constantly misspells words, particularly those with lots of vowels. As a contrast there is another women here that never went to college. She is constantly using "them" instead of "they" and this is on the telephone. Still, is that ignorance or laziness? I think she knows better but is just to careless and unconcerned about it to correct herself.

The other day someone in the office was called a "bigot" and replied "Karen(the second women) is the only bigot in this office. Karen promptly replied "I am not, I've never even been married!"

Now that is an example of ignorance.

Feel free to correct all misspellings and grammatical errors.

Not knowing the difference between "to" and "too" or "woman" and "women" is ignorant. If you have true mastery of the subject, then it should be second-nature, period. Also, possession of a college degree, even with a high GPA, is not a defacto indicator of intelligence. Plenty of ignorant people escape the hallowed ivy-covered halls of university with a fancy education. It doesn't mean that they are particularly intelligent, it just means that they are more easily trainable.

Laziness is just an excuse.

Thanks but you forgot to point out I missused "their".

Please deduct 5 more points.

...typos, spelling, usage, homonyms...defacto(sic)(sic) and stuff

I know I correct such errors often and encourage others to do the same. But remember malmo's law: "When one corrects the grammar or spelling errors of others, almost without exception, that post will be riddled with the same."

BTE: Let's see, the Torres brothers are skinny and they're really good runners. Those Kenyan boys are really skinny and they're really good runners too. Ya think we might be onto something here?

Where's that young buck randymayes when you need him? Pull him out of that library, we've got work for him!!!!!

PS: I like your 'bigot' story. Almost as good as the 'niggardly' fiasco of the DC City government a few years back. I once got a stern rebuke for using the word 'fecund' in a sales meeting! I had to bite might tongue to keep from laughing.

You also misspelled "misused". Five more points

My point had nothing to do with grammar. It had to do with the fact that alot of runners are very skinny. This board is made up of I'd guess 100% runners. Therefore, if you make fun of the Torres Brothers, then you are indirectly making fun of the entire board. Therefore, your post is ignorant, pointless and stupid. We should be happy they even got their pictures in the paper, you idiot.

yeah, they look like they're in good shape and ready to roll!

Geez that was the 1st thing I've noticed as well. Both Jorge and Ed looks awfully gaunt. Whats up?

They've always been awfully gaunt. So are a lot of runners.
