Ohhhhhhh, I forgot! An informal discussion forum is where you mysteriously forget how to spell words that you would otherwise remember how to spell on a formal discussion forum! My bad. :)

0/10 C'mon man!...it's when people point it out on these informal discussion forums. Don't be a chump! - read up and learn what the science says about these sad sack people. ?

ummmm..... okay. English, much? :)

What the hell kind of language is that? And then a smiley face? Please tell me you’re not a teacher. Where do all these people come from destroying the English language with this sort of abomination. Learn to write or stop posting.

“Ohhhhhhh” is not a word. Idiot. And “:)” is not any sort of proper punctuation. Take an English class. If you can’t spell don’t post.

You’re probably right. Grammar and spelling are super important on the message board where dreams become reality. We probably should recommend that every poster writes at least one rough draft prior to posting. Ideally brojos should ensure no plagiarism through Quetext. Also citations (properly formatted of course) are a must.

So funny how trolls who use grammar and spelling errors to troll are so mad that they are being called out on it. Don’t be sad little troll:(. You’re special in your own way.

By the way, should brojos be capitalized? I’ve seen it multiple ways on the message boards: brojos, BroJos, Brojos, broJos, etc.

I aints seen no bad gramma on dis sight.

Oh look, the butthurt people that were called on for being stupid earlier in the thread have all decided to try playing "grammar police" themselves, and it's just coming across as painfully awkward. Only on LRC.

Both incorrect grammar useage and misspellings are valuable AND the posts correcting them are too valuable. This teaches you to find/see the mistakes which, inturn allows your writing to ELEVATE.

I du have tu agry with thyss. Whyl eye tipickli agri wit moste uv the gramur stuff, I also agrie that sumtimz peepol need fredum to mayk erurs in gramer, speleng or sintacks. If I ken du thys as a repreezentayshen of reealuhtee,then maybee wee ken bee mor kairfull. Possible?? Thaynx Myk Lol

Can all the tools and trolls on LRC dispense with the grammar and spelling corrections. It’s reasonable to type quickly and imprecisely in these forums. For example, if a girl texts that she “liKes” you, it’s OK that the K is capital. You may want to consider this when they don’t respond to your corrections anymore.

It’s not a good post to read. It’s not clever or funny. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but thought you should know.

Are you a school teacher on winter break by chance? I think most school districts are starting winter break this week.

The point is that if you can just write correctly in an informal setting it will be a hell of a lot easier to do it when it actually matters.

The brojos are a classic case of general laxity pervading the important stuff.

trouble is, this may not necessarily apply. most people get that you wear a shirt and tie and a suit if you have one to a job interview, but that jeans and a t-shirt are fine for gardening. there is no evidence to suggest this difference should not be applied in other areas. for example, I painted my front door with a care and precision that was not shown on the ceiling of the broom cupboard and I lay the table and get dressed for dinner with my parents but eat tv suppers on my own in my underwear because I get to choose what's important and what isn't.

I think each poster is free to decide for themselves, on a post by post basis, whether LRC is a tv dinner or a romantic restaurant meal on a first date, and that folks who want to define the importance of LRC to everyone else and stipulate rules and regulations for poster behaviour are likely to be disappointed on a regular basis.

Cheers.

No, it’s usually typing quickly. But you seem like a cool guy. I especially like how angry and pedantic you come off in your posts. Great job! Super cool. Did that capital E set you off? If so, your right to think you’re amazing.

Thier I fixed you're post.

Merry Xmas

There is no comma necessary in the last sentence. You use a comma before a coordinating conjunction when it joins two independent clauses. "...but thought you should know." is not an independent clause. Carry on.

You are wasting your time. The pathetic losers who lurk on here to correct spelling and grammar mistakes will never go away. They have nothing else. They are deeply insecure and compensating for their awful little nothing lives with a desperate need to believe they are somehow superior to others. Nobody quickly typing a meaningless post using their thumbs on a tiny phone keyboard could possibly make a spelling mistake, no, that’s impossible. You can only make a mistake if you truly didn’t know how to spell the word. Yeah. Ok. That honestly is the pathetic loser logic they rely upon to feel for that one brief moment of their shitty little lives that they aren’t as pathetic as they really are. Take the high road and let them be.

"Nobody quickly typing a meaningless post using their thumbs on a tiny phone keyboard could possibly make a spelling mistake, no, that’s impossible. "

This is a run-on sentence. You want to use either a period or a semi-colon after mistake. Go ahead.

Are you a public school teacher on Christmas break? ?
