I already have my share of frigs. :D

As long as the content is clear, in stating what one means, I'm good to go. :smiley: I tend to read my post for errors before hitting "submit" but like everyone else, "no one's perfect".

Slow news day, I guess!

Most forums actually forbid the correction of grammar, spelling, etc. I think that's probably a good rule.

Gotta admit, I cringe every time I see refridgerator. Like there is no P in Sumter, there is no D in refrigerator. And I admit that I like good grammar. For me, it is easier to read but it certainly is not necessary. (And I do think some of the posts have gone beyond the pale in using bad grammar and spelling. If nothing else, check the words that are underlined in red and correct them -- it only takes a simple click to get the correct word.)

Regardless, I've always thought that correcting someone publicly is, at best, crass and most definitely extremely rude. So, I flinch and go my merry way.

i have to look at this post and smile.... as I have bigger things on my plate.... then to worry about i don't use caps....

Good lord! Who cares?

I hate people who mix up 'there, their and they're'. It's worse than not knowing the difference between your left and write.

Anybody can go out and buy a dictionary and keep it next to their computer. If you're unsure of the spelling, look it up.

U evidently do not correspond with UR grandchildren or U would have a heart attack. most of them never capitalize anything or us punctuation Seriously, I doubt many people log on to TOTV to improve their spelling or grammar. It is entertainment. Does not make it right, but their world is quickly becoming the world.

How do you look it up...if you can't spell it to begin with ?
Just kidding.
You don't even need a dictionary since most computers have spell check.

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 toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Great job, and that is not easy to do.

Tankhs for psotnig !

Dizzy Dean was quoted as saying "There are a lot of people who don't say ain't ain't working either.

I think correcting other posters' grammar, spelling, syntax, etc., is inappropriate, bad mannered as well as snobbery. It seems as soon as one makes a correction the pack effect comes into play and others feel they have to take a pot shot at the poster.

I might ask those "English majors" if they would correct me in person. Maybe at a TOTV gathering at Crispers. Then everyone could have a good laugh at my expense.

If you think you must correct someone please have the courtesy to send them a private message (along with your credentials).

If you disapprove of my grammar, etc., you know my user name. Just ignore my posts.

Wow. I'm impressed.:a040:

Disclaimer. As I frequently point out that there is no pee in Lake Sumter, I really do not mean to correct anyone's spelling but just exercise a chance to be naughty.

Add me to your hate list. I mix them up frequently. I do know left from right, port from starboard, fore from aft, aloft from alow, stem from stern, rope from line, main from mizzen, ketch from yawl, ship from bark (barque?) etc..... .

By the way, how do you know who to hate if you have to wait for written words including there, their or they're'?
