Harhar, how stoopid!
Unless you’re a grammar nazi. Then they’re hilarious.
How the hell did this comment end up here?! O_o
I DON’T KNOW!!!! T__T I’M SCARED!!! WHAT’S HAPPENING?!?!?!
erst0r! grammatic flames are unfunny!
It’s grammatical, not grammatic.
What da faaaaaaaa!!!!!!!????????
I clearly have no words.
Then shut up.
*whimpers*
your so mean. ;D
Obvious troll is obvious.
AWESOMENESS? Ha, after that comment, I think you should log in and post tomorrow with LAMENESS. Leave poor lallie alone. She’s my Failbook girl, and I will failbook your arse right out of this posting.
That was the most least threatening-threat I’ve ever threateneneded. I mean saw.
Facepalm, indeed.
Such a common yet easily avoidable mistake. Morons these days.
Um…not talking to you
and what does “Morons” mean?
O I C WAT U DID DERE
Relie you really shouldn’t be calling Piff that till your second date.
To be fair, it should have been “*you’re”, right?
I was also a little misled by the parenthesis and possibility that an asterisk could mean part of a smiley face. In my defence, I realised what was happening before writing it up. But honestly, if you don’t understand something, kudos for asking.
Sorry to be a spelling Nazi, but unless you are talking about stabbing at people with swords, it is DEFENSE, with and S. I hate that. In MMO’s people always spell that wrong…
And yes, the asterisk should be before the word you are correcting.
Defence is the UK English spelling. No offence.
Defense is actually derived from the late Latin verb “defensum”. So, spelling this particular word with an “s” or with a “c” would be equally correct.
Oh, who lives in a dark cave over the seas, keithybabes Smarty-pants!
lolz at stupid american spelling – just a spin-off version of UK English spelling. and why would u write it with an “S”? that just looks stupid…
Everyone spells wrong. Even me.
There was no parenthesis? And I’ve only ever seen people put the asterisk after the words they’re fixing (as in, you’re*).
If you mean the dots, that’s an ellipsis. If you don’t…I have no idea what you mean by parenthesis.
Parenthesis is like putting things in brackets or imbetween dashes, so I’m pretty sure he/she used the word wrong.
Ugh. I hate frivolous corrections like this. -_-
Frivolous /ˈfrivələs/ (adj.): lacking in value, sense, or seriousness.
ex.
Ugh. I hate frivolous people who need a spelling education. -_-
I hate reading stuff where the writer doesn’t know the difference or doesn’t care about what they write.
If you don’t care enough to write correctly, then why should I care enough to read it?
I’m not talking about typos; everyone makes them. But stupid stuff like “you’re” vs. “your”, “would of”, makes it hard to read.
tl:dr
Three sentences is too long to read? Seriously?
They may be prescriptive mistakes, but they don’t really make it hard to read…
They do for me. If I have to stop and figure out what you mean, instead of reading your words, I’m not going to do that for long.
I just hate people in general.
I know. Don’t people have anything better to due with their time?
ohh myyy gooood :O do people like that really exist
I don’t know. Do you people like YOU really exist? Because.. whoa.. these damn LSD trips.
Durr. Everyone’s heard of Midge You’re, the frontman of Ultravox.
Y doesn’t this dweeb learn some English first!
my name explains it all
I echo Black’s sentiment.
you’re* means “you’re a star!” of course
Yay! I’m a gass giant!
*gas
Grammar Nazi’s are the least creative and humorous of the troll breeds. I often imagine a Grammar Nazi as a stereotypical nerd with high waters slacks kept over his diaphragm with a shiny buckled dress belt, tucked in white shirt with a pocket protector, bucked teeth, neatly combed over hair with glasses kept together with tape. Their portable spell checker kept in a little holster on their belt, ready to sling out spelling and grammar corrections.
lol!
