Forum IQ

I'm sorry but it is very very aggravating when people do a few of the following things.

1)Talk like idiots, or don't take the time to read back over your post to make sure the spelling is correct and there aren't any blaring typos.----It is very easy to correct 'teh' to 'the' or when the same word is in the post above such as 'Jenna Jameson' Why does the next person write jenna jamison????

2)Don't read the posts above----There is no point in writing the EXACT same thing as the person directly above you or earlier in the post. I understand when it is a 3-4+ page post, but when there is only 1 page read them all before posting.

3)Swearing----In some cases it is fine, like when talking about a Point ***** that is not really offensive to anyone I don't think. It's more of a compound word, but when you swear excessively to try to get your point accross, that is unneccesary.

No, I'm not pretending to be perfect, but it seems like i'm reading posts from immature, uneducated 6th and 7th graders who have an ego that is too large for their own good.

GROW UP!!!

Exactly. I've tried to prove this point for a while now...

Cheesy · 04-30-2004

Do a search and type Cheesy. I bet you there are about 30 thread links that come up that complain about one of the above situations. It is amazing and annoying. I don't like to struggle through a load of garbage, to understand the point (Or what it is saying) of the thread.

I've been trying to set an example in all of my what, one thousand-something posts. Nobody seems to care, as far as I can tell.

I don't re-read most of my posts, but I do know how to type correctly in the first place, so, I think what I write is acceptable.

I've complained many a time about how horribly stupid some people sound by the simple, yet all too common mistakes they make.

Its not just this forum ... I'm on 5-6 forums and they all have the same problem. People just type as fast as they can and wont stop and take 10 seconds to proof their posts. I type pretty well but I still give all my posts a once over before submitting them.

Negative Creep · 05-01-2004

Yeah, I can agree with ya'll on this one... I'm usually an excellent speller a majority of the time, but I still take the extra few seconds to check for typos. (There, just corrected one right now.)

Anyways... I have always been a stickler for grammar, and I probably always will be. I have been getting a bit better about it recently and I can almost ignore blatantly bad spelling or grammar now-a-days.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS! hehe

j/k

Yeah, I noted the heavy layer of sarcasm myself!

I'm in grade 7, so are you saying that I am allowed to misspell because i'm young and have a big ego? :D

You missed a comma.

Can you find where?
