It is time to STOP with the typing errors criticism!

Why is that a problem for you? The normal reaction is "thank you." Agreed that things like typos aren't important (ie smoething), but everyone benefits from spelling and grammar, especially the teXt messaging generation.

If you are one of those people who looks for english errors in a post before you even consider what the person is trying to say, then YOU are the TROLL!

Not everyone is an english major, and quite frankly, some of us have more important things to do rather than proof read and spell check stuff all day.

So, stop crticising and go back under your bridge and troll your life away.

1/10. Nice try, troll.

It's not that we don't like people who cannot spell or use words correctly, it's just that we know how badly your school seems to have failed you, and so we are trying to help keep our society from becoming even dumber than it already is.

Ironic that you complain about how many important things you have going on in your life. Those important things apparently include typing out rambling rants on a running message board.

Oh, and it's "English," not "english."

The last 6 years ask; "where have you been?"

This has NOTHING to do with me getting mad at people correcting me..... I just hate it when I try and read a thread and everyone's first reponse is to attempt to make fun/discredit the poster above them by trying to find gramatical errors.

Except, the purpose of these people who make corrections, is not to increase the intelligeince of society, it is usually to make the person feel like an idiot or us it to try and win an agrument by making the themselves seem more intelligent.... such as the joker who just corrected what I said to "English".

further than you, and faster than you.

The only thing worse is when people start threads about it.

Dont know who you are but I can say without a doubt, no you haven't and no you aren't. Wanna prove it, come to the Denver marathon and let it rip.

Dude it takes like a few seconds to correctly spell a word or fix a grammatical error. I don't think it's asking too much to ask someone to apply some fourth grade grammar to their posts to make it easier to be read.

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, that you are too dim to write at the level of a kid in elementary school or the fact you have yet to discover the spell check function in Firefox or word.

I guess it's easier to just blame the people trying to understand your drivel.

I would hope that when people are repeatedly called out for the idiots that they truly are, they would try and educate themselves. I know, this is a crazy idea, but just call me idealistic I guess.

exactly. And with so many posting on Blackberry's and other similar devices a spelling error is very common and easy.

I still need some motivation to kick my marathon training into high gear.

To suggest one needs to be an English major to be able to spell basic words says a lot about you, and not in a good way.

Thank you so goddamn much. Seriously. The misuse of apostrophes is astounding these days. It really seems to be a phenomena that has blown up during the past two to three years. I just don't get it. People are either lazy or stupid or a combination of both.
