That's another person to the list that has told me what i'm doing, AND resorted to name calling. Also, as i've said - i type what i mean to say.. so what the hell is the point in quoting me only to redo what i've typed. Dense or what.



Erm, i wasn't the one that said this sentence about 12 year olds. Oops@you.

Oh i'm just distraught.. Really.

Yet you had to take the time to state it?

Well i may not spell like some people want me to, but i have more intelligence than to resort to stupid name calling.

Does jacking off a cat count? Because i've done that   all in the name of vet care though lol.

Thats just the way i type. I don't use silly n00b speak, or 'pmsl' everywhere, but yeah, i do cut corners with capital I's. And it's not riddled with errors. And 'in your opinion is annoying', yes. I also love the way you use 'we' to refer to yourselves. It's like your a cult or something. You seem to forget you don't own the site, even if you feel you are some type of minion. Pescado hasn't once really said anything himself about how to behave with grammar, this thread wasn't even created by him! I said i understood, now you are telling me AGAIN that i don't and telling me the reason why you think it. I'm careful that i type things to an 'alright' standard, but i know i just won't be able to keep to making sure every tiny thing is done 'the proper' way. And it has nothing to so with doing it 'intentionally'. It's my habit, but it gets me by. If the guy in charge asks me to try harder than perhaps it's more worth thinking about.  

I'm not trying to 'win' anything. Was just having a conversation

It's just that in this day its natural to not worry too much about grammar on the net. And we're not even talking about jumbled up words here, they're on about things like not capitalising an 'I'. While some people may be anal about spelling, this type of mishap won't in any way affect a post.

It's not as simple as that because they came back at me telling me i meant things that i had never written. Twisting ways i had worded things. Like some of the examples i brought up. The words i use are the words i mean, if i don't say things like 'i think you should all change for me' then thats what i meant to not put. But i've had people coming back to me with 'oh so you want us to change for you' type thing. Near the beginning i said how a spelling mistake is so bad, and i got things back saying that you basically have no intelligence if you don't capitalize something etc. So from asking an innocent enough question, people make it personal by stating what a person is if they don't spell the way THEY want. Then telling me how i don't get the way it works here even though more than once i had stated i understood. So if i took care to make it clear i understood, yet still got people repeating themselves that i didn't, just who has made the mistake there. Not me! Bottom line on the subject of this thread though, is that this site would still be good and non-n00bish even if people forgot the odd apostrophe or capital. The odd grammar drop isn't the same as people coming on going 'yo peepz, sims 3 iz da bomb (or not as the case may be) ^.^ w00t'. And it seems to be that people don't want THAT type on here?

No, i was simply saying that you're fast to blame me for the fact you took me the wrong way, without thinking that perhaps you had something to do with it too. And again, assuming the way i said something. If i had meant to say 'you should redefine the actual meanings of words and phrases to fit whatever someone is trying to say', i would have said that. So please just stop jumping to the worst possible side of the spectrum of what one can mean.

There ya go, someone else who has told me what i am apparently feeling and apparently doing. And being just as tedious as me. Childish to make an 'I' standout, but not childish to pull up every typo? Again, okaaaay. And if i'm like that why do you feel the need to HAVE to say something. Anyway i said my piece, you all said yours, no ones been wrong. A site has the right to ask for something, i had the right to stand up for people not deserving names of all kinds. Both disagree with the other but i had posted telling i understood. I'ts kinda been over for ages now.

And maybe you should open your minds to the fact people can mean things differently to how you would assume.

As far as i knew 'I' wrote how 'I' meant things to be taken, but 'I' mustn't have written it easy enough for you because it ended up not being taken that way. So perhaps we BOTH made a mistake. Maybe you should have been more careful how you took it.

So even if 'I' did point out things, that still wasn't saying you should change, so 'I' was right. And i've also not demanded anything. It's like you've had your own conversation with me where you've decided what i've said. If you don't think you are doing anything wrong then perhaps i'm not doing anything wrong either. It works both ways, but you seem to think only your way is the right way. I said yonks ago that 'I' get the concept of this site and i'll get on with it, but you still can't stop at that. Everything i've said had got twisted anyway so my original posts have become something they were never meant to be.

A) 'I' said fuck-whatever because different words including fuck were said.
B) 'I' never said anyone should change to suit me.. this is where your paranoia comes in
C) Actually in places when people were getting unfairly treated i WOULD interfere.

Your one type of person, and 'I'm another so don't tell me what 'I'm doing, what 'I' might do or the manner in which 'I'm saying something.

Well i (shit no what was i thinking, so close),  'I' strangely enjoyed this.

Hmm, yeah, because asking why people are so harsh is more rude than calling a stranger a fuck-whatever. Ok.

If the site owner tells me to spell my i's as capitals then i will, thats fair enough. But to say someone isn't intelligent all because of a capital here and there on a forum? Come on, please. Like intelligence comes down to that. You could be a bloody heart surgeon yet be dyslexic. I thought you also said tedious people were tards.. well thats you all still included. My god, now it's all coming down to an 'i'. I I I I I I I I I I I I I oooooo bet you feel good now! Have you got tingles.

I already said i'm not going to bother capitalizing my i's. Maybe YOU are the tard for not having read that.

I suppose i'm the type of person who tries to fight their moral corner a little too much. Can't help it. And for the second time, i do get the concept. Of course i'm being defensive, i want to live in a nice world, nice people defend, not nice people attack. But jeez, yes i get the concept! I will get on with it. But i'm not a tard just because i fought from a different corner for a while.

You do realise how contradictive you all are though right? Because everytime you call me a name or tedious etc. etc, you really are also describing yourselves. Why can't anyone have a calm and mature conversation without all sorts thrown in? And i don't know how i have not shown understanding of your concept of how this site works. And i'm not even one of the type's of people that plaster smilies and 'txtspk' everywhere. All i like is friendliness.

Oh and Edit (should keep you happy): capital i's will make no bloody difference, so no

Now that, was a polite reply, Hook.. thankyou. It seems there is hope

'Lol..' seriously that's all i have to say to both your replies. You are so closed minded you can't see the grey inbetween. Well i tried to put another point across but you're not having any of it so i suppose it's just another shame. Oh gosh, i used wiggles to emphasize my name, that MUST mean i'm a pleb. And my attitude? It's a good one to have, i'm proud of it, i know i'm a fair person. Don't worry though you can have your little obsession back, i can see your never going to open your eyes. Would just be nice if you were nicer to people even when you want to get a grammar point across.

Well you turned out to be a wondeful person didn't you. I just think all this is such a shame.

So what reaction would you give your child (if you have/had one), say a teenager who had accidently spelled something wrong. If you told them how to spell it properly you wouldn't use any of the language that people use in here. My only point is that on forums where you get people from everywhere, you are going to get mistakes, some people are just excited about getting a point across or something so rush the message. When you read over it, it really doesn't matter if 'their' or 'there' is round the wrong way. It's the content that should be important. But even if you can't help but get bothered by it, there's different ways of going about it. That's all

You make it your problem.

Seeing as my career is animal care, if you like i could tell you the numerous humane ways of puppy training? Anyway, there is always a choice.. you use a 'rolled up paper' and do something that is uncalled for and meant to be bad, or you use some other way that won't offend and isn't intentionally rude. None of the people making spelling mistakes in this forum are intentionally trying to piss anyone off or be rude, but all the people who reply to these mistakes intentionally mean to be horrible and that is where the politeness is lost on those people.
