  • How many times do I have to see this on MFP?

    lots more time and now youll get an MFP beat down for this post. cause i ask you this:

    How many times do i have to see *this post* on MFP? get a grip man. there's other things in the world that should be the focus of your attention, adn this isnt one of them. *eyeroll*

    I have to admit, seeing someone use a word incorrectly is pretty annoying, but I get much more annoyed when people incessantly complain about it in post after post. We can't correct spelling and grammar all the time.

    It's kind of like a Bill Hicks joke:

    "Someone came up to me and said, 'You know, it takes more energy to frown than to smile.' And I wanted to say, 'You know it takes more energy to tell me than than just shut up.'"
  • Supposably, a lot.

    FYI, it's supposedly.
  • The grammar police....

    Chances are they are posting from their phone and it is the auto correct. Even if it isn't..... Relax. It is nothing to stress over.


    Agree!! My phone auto corrects stuff to say the most crazy things! lol You just have to go with it ;-)

    It's actually a conspiracy. Everyone knows how to use it correctly. I'm sorry but I can't tell you why if you don't already know.

    Yes, it annoys me too, but, in my opinion, if it bothers you enough to make a whole post about it, maybe you're "loosing" sight of what's truly important in life.

    I don't think It really matters what they use as long as you can figure out what they mean. Its not that big of a deal do you realize how many have words missing but you can still read it because you mind puts the words in there for you. Just like my sentence below 90% of people read that.


    Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?
