In all fairness to MrPopo, bad spelling is becoming something of a plague in this day and age, especially with text messaging short cuts encouraging bad grammar and spelling. I work for a fortune 500 company and I have bosses who can't spell the simplest of words. I don't claim to be a spelling master, but some of the stuff I see sometimes is appalling

I personally don't mind if someone corrects me on something. What I don't like is people on the net who feel like they've proven their intellectual superiority over someone because they caught them on a spelling or grammar error. Forget whatever we were arguing about, you misspelled a word, you're stupid!!! I win!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!! :roll:

Course MrPopo is too cool for that :wink:

I only bring up people's spelling/grammar in the context of an argument if they're making several grevious errors. I'm talking about copy and pasting AOL-speak and now it's hard to take them seriously (and sometimes to even understand the content).

Yeah, I know what you mean. That just gets annoying

There was a word that one specific employee always used an annoying 'shortcut' version in our group work chat. I have my friend filter and fix it if he typed it it annoyed me so much. It's been long enough that I've actually forgotten what it was now, which is glorious.

Interesting that the OP never came back to this discussion. What is the purpose of starting a thread if you're not going to hang around to participate?

Some asshole almost ran me over while I was walking out of the grocery store and on a crosswalk. He'll pay more attention next time, that I can promise.

Just curious why is this thread still here? The OP just said he hates jerks and nothing else... Really makes no sense.. Not trying to troll or anything, just saying..
