    I don't understand when people get offended when you correct them. All of a sudden YOU'RE the a-hole with OCD just because THEY can't be bothered to spell a simple word correctly!

    It's because, your problem shouldn't become our problem. Plus it's really annoying and kind of degrading for some people. What if they aren't as advanced in grammar as you, and you just reminded them of how stupid they look? Real adults can handle reading something that isn't typed out perfectly. This isn't a novel, it's for fun and being corrected for that kinda thing isn't fun...

    However... "I don't understand when people get offended when you correct them." should be, "I don't understand WHY people get offended when you correct them."

    :))))))

    That should put it into perspective... cmon thank him now :laugh:

    I don't think their is anything wrong with people making a few typos. Everyone is here on a journey to loose weight and become a better version of there selves. There are more important things to ***** about.


    I can't think up a clever sentence to slip alot and then/than into. So just make one up and assume I typed it.

    Ever hear of criticism? It's not always a bad thing you know.

  • And while we're on pet peeves:
    If someone says to you that your answer/reasoning is flawed and your reply is to "Google it" and that somehow makes it's true, I'd like to say this is on the top of my list of reasons I fear for the future of humankind.

    (I also support proper grammar and spelling, but I can see where not everyone approaches it in a way that is constructive. And some people just don't care, probably because Google told them it was okay not to worry about it.)

    I'm not "losing" or "loosing" weight. I am getting RID of it! Because I have NO intentions of finding it ever again!

    There Problem Solved!
