Sarah! I retract my reference to the you-know-what error.
Forget it.
I did not mean to offend.
You didn’t offend.
You annoyed.
I have a manger who does this. He has no original ideas, his strategic thinking leaves a lot to be desired; in the middle of a lively and productive meeting, where he’s contributed little to nothing, he’ll suddenly interrupt and pull someone up on their grammar
Sure, grammar is important, but there’s a time and place, and when your contribution to a discussion on launching a new line has been exactly zero, that’s not the time or place to start teaching people how to speak English!
I was pulled up here for writing Catholic as catholic. I accepted the correction no problem, and even thanked the poster, as I can see how not using a C could be seen as offensive to some people here, on a Catholic forum.
It was an important point and I accepted it as such.
I’m pretty sure I make spelling mistakes in just about every post I make. Like ‘phenomenal’, it’s not important (to me) as the point being made gets across and is understood, which *is *important - unless you’re obsessed with poor grammar and misspelling, in which case a public forum is possibly not the best place to hang out!
I don’t have the same approach off forums, and I accept to some that attitude would not be acceptable. But when I’m on the forums I enjoy, I don’t fuss over spelling or check as I type. It’s not an issue for me. The point being made is what’s important, and should be the focus, not a misspelt word.
Sometimes you take things in the bonhomie and good natured ribbing that often accompanies posts.
I do indeed. And I accept also my sense of humor has been misunderstood by others too.
I said before and I happily admit when I’m tired, I get grumpy. I’m not tired.
On another day it might not have? Am I correct?
No it annoys me every time, and if you look back at other posts where people have focused on spelling to make a point, (and it comes across as a cheap point to make to me) I’ve responded in kind. See
here for example.
Get out of here
