Well then I am a bully.

Of course if you are hiring teachers it matters there. It does not matter in these forums where people may already be struggling with self esteem because of weight issues to now make them feel like they can't get help because if they post something their grammar will be attacked. That is not acceptable to me.

Seriously? You did not answer the question of why you feel compelled to correct grammar when it serves no purpose. Why? Bullying, to me, includes any activity you might do that's sole purpose is to make others feel less than you. That would be my definition of a bully. And it can include physical superiority, emotional…

Ignore the grammar nazis. Post all you want. When push comes to shove it is more important how you treat other people then it is to know when to use loose or lose. Does that person feel better about themselves being around you or somehow like they just are not good enough. I will choose every single time to try and make…

:sad: LOL I don't care!

If you like to correct people when it serves no purpose than I would label you a bully. That is my opinion it does not have to be yours or anyone elses. And if you want to label me a hypocrite because I defend those who may not have your attention to detail and nitpicking, so be it. I really don't care.

Perhaps we view bullying differently, Someone today posted a topic with loose instead of lose as their subject. Then the OP started this forum topic on Loose ve Lose. It was more than obvious to me anyway his forum topic was in direct response to the other. So while it may not have been posted directly on the improper…

And yes I know there are grammar mistakes and punctuation mistakes in the above. And I don't care LOL.

No an editor is not a bully. No a teacher if not a bully. A person with a proclivity toward attention to detail is not a bully. Where it crosses the line is when that person, for no good reason, corrects someone. Of course an editor needs to correct. Of course an English teacher needs to correct her students. But this is…

Great, then go with that! You are a bully. The world is full of them!

Find your gifting and go with that. There are many great occupations that do not require great grammar abilities. It will not preclude you from finding success in life.

^^^^^^ YES, this exactly!

Yes exactly. Each person is gifted in a different way. I had one son that struggled and struggled with spelling in school. But guess what, when he was five years old he was tearing things apart and putting them back together. He is brilliant mechanically. IQ is actually quite high. He just cannot spell. So what? Find your…

I will just say this. I really think it has zero to do with economic class, intellect, or education. Some find English/spelling/grammar very easy and others struggle with it. Because they struggle with it means nothing. They may be brilliant mathamatically or have the ability to paint the most beautiful painting you can…

LOL LOL LOL LOL! Me too. Nothing, and I mean nothing, makes me madder than people correcting spelling/grammar/pronunciation etc. when there is zero need. I always say unless the correction really makes a difference, leave it alone. You are just making people feel stupid and like they don't measure up. People that do that…

Bhaaahahahahahahahah! What drives me crazy is people that feel the need to correct other people's grammar. Who gives a rat's *kitten*?

Well, I may have a little different perspective than some because I am an older lady, 57, and I've had many jobs I've hated and few that I've loved. My advice to you is to follow your passion. What are you passionate about? It may have zero to do with English or Marketing but may have everything to do with those. You have…

Uhhhhhhhh, that's a lot more than 8 pounds.

I work in an office too and have lost 54 pounds in a year so it is possible. Weight loss is about calories in and calories out. If you are burning more calories than you consume you will lose weight. A lot of great information already given to you. If you are not losing, reduce your caloric intake more or increase your…

Companies are in business to make money. And only that. Again, personal responsibility. It is not a company's moral obligation to ensure we eat right. Now I do agree with the pollution issue as we have no choice over that matter if they are polluting the air. But the health of the consumer reallly isn't their concern at…

At least they do offer healthier choices. Deaf ears no. People have to be responsible for their own choices. We leave in an age of blame blame blame. What ever happened to personal responsibility?

WOW, wow and wow! Did I say WOW! What an amazing journey you've been on! Congratulations!

I have a million things I would like to say to you woman to woman but will make it short. The situation at home is not going to improve. It would appear everyone there is quite happy to not work and try and live off of food stamps. That will not change. Like many others have said, the only thing you can change is you. You…

BUMP

I long for the day when we are a totally color blind society. Truly the color of your skin or your ethnicty has 0% to do with who you are as a person. Now I'm not saying it has no influence on you, that would be stupid. But it does not have to define you completely. I like to look at a person and see who they are. Are they…

Don't be discouraged! You are only 15 pounds from goal and those last pounds are VERY dificult to lose. Just keep after it and if the scale is up a pound don't panic. As others have said more than likely just water gain and not actual fat gain. You are still young, you can and will lose the rest if you continue to eat…

I had a fusion of my PIP joint on my right little finger on August 1st. Arm is in a cast until the 16th and I am not allowed to get it wet. It really depends on the type of surgery. Right now physically I know I could do cardio and strength training on legs and core. BUT the doctor said not to sweat. He said if I could do…

WOW, based on that ripped body I'm pretty sure I'll drop the weights and just do cardio!

Dear Dear Dr. 90. Are you proud to be a Brit? Pride in one's own country is a good thing I think. Americans are not allowed to have pride?

Saw The Doobies with Chicago a week and a half ago! They still have it!
