I’ve never heard the ending to that rhyme before! Weird.

It would be nice if you used proper grammar in your spelling attack. When two adjectives precede a subject there should be a comma between them. So your bottom line should read “Brought to you by annoyed, literate people everywhere.”

“Didn’t notice nothing” is a double negative. “Didn’t notice anything” is the proper wording. Double negatives are all too common and bother me to no extent. People use them all the time! (Didn’t do nothing, for example.) I don’t mind spelling errors if there’s only the one slip of the finger, homonyms (or homophones, either one works) are a pain in the ass, and when people decide that it’s okay for their sentences to look like this is just SO BOTHERSOME!: eye tink u shud…
You know how those sentences end. Seriously. At least TRY to get it right.
That is all.

Anyone notice it said, “From annoyed literates?” A literate is someone who can read and write, therefore everyone here is a literate.

There is also an extra space in the green part. See if you can find it!

Another thing is that “school” should not be capitalized.

I wonder if the ones who use incorrect grammar in their posts realize that it’s not that hard to use correct grammar.

I am eleven and I stand by the fact that I can use correct grammar (most of the time).

ARGH!

How on earth can people care so much about spelling on the internet?!?!

Well my motherthoung isn’t english so I often make mistakes!
But come on!! This is the internet, I could understand it if it was some kind of important book or something like that, but it is normal people we are talking about!

We can not all be the best speller in the world as some might think they are just because they find errors in other peoples spelling!!

this website is an informal way of communication, where it is not important to spell things correctly, who cares… if i make a mistake in my spelling im not going to go back and fix it because it dosnt matter at all if it is spelled correctly or not, you all need to get a life and get over it.

Get over it. It’s the internet. Just because you made a graph doesn’t mean it will happen.

If you want correct spelling etc, go read a book.

In the description for the green area, there’s no period at the end of the sentence. Not really a spelling error, but still a mistake..

Well, gee, thanks. I’m definitely a high school student (I actually go to the 23rd best high school in the country) and I’m pretty sure I don’t “devalue my education” with any errors–spelling or grammatical.

You're SRSLY DUM — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:52:57 +0000

I think you mean: “Please check your spelling”
Please is not a complete thought, therefore “please” should not have been separated from the rest of the sentence. Please see the “On the Subject of Grammatical Errors…” graph on this website. That is how i feel about you.

Haha, indeed it would seem so. However, I suppose a lesson is that we cannot change others’ behaviour, we can only make them aware of it, and hope that they will make an effort to change.

I always notice things like that, partially because I’m a thirteen-year-old obsessive compulsive. On my blogs, I made it a rule that no one can use swear words or those LOL OMG IDK NVM things. I can’t stand it.

(and just for the record, from where i stand, there are several other posters in this comment collection alone who might do well to take a hint on this subject…)

if we’re honest, we’ve probably all done just that at some time or another–the anonymity of the net allows it, even encourages it. i know it took me some time to find my “online voice”, and these comment threads can really bring out the worst in us. (i found one the other day that took exactly 4 posts to devolve into degraded personal attacks!)

By: Jrade

Jrade — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:39:12 +0000

Thank you.

I think I need to admit that I’ve been a total ass, and I truly am sorry.

I don’t want enemies, so I’ll do whatever I can to prevent making them, or improve the situation…

I’ll be honest, when I typed those things I just needed to be acidic, abrasive, and an ass.

If for an edit system, I maybe would delete those prior posts, but I don’t think I would.

Rather than erasing my mistake, I would prefer to admit that I have made one, and allow others to see it if they wish.

I made a mistake, several in fact, and I’m sorry if I did insult anyone.

Even if I did not, I am still sorry.

Thank you for both pointing the errors in my ways, and for understanding afterwards.

Thank you for listening.

By: sueb262

sueb262 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:47:55 +0000

well, i don’t know about that (the enemies part, that is). a nicely worded retraction (which you have supplied) goes a long way toward bridging rifts.

I remember when my math teacher wrote in his notes: “You are suppose to do problems 10-30″. My hand immediately bolted out of my pocket to point at him, and I then yelled at him for making the error.

This message is brought to you by annoyed literate people everywhere.
please, check your spelling

By: Jrade

Jrade — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:46:46 +0000

Hmm, you have a point.

I believe I worded everything I have said up to this point terribly, and looking back, it gives a message other than that which I intended to convey.

I’m not going to try to rephrase it, because I would fail.

I’ve made enough unintentional enemies as it is.

Thank you.

no apologies necessary for “calling into question” any issue (v. a person), since without questions there would be less inquiry into assumptions. it’s the assumptions that cause problems, which is why i do tend to check things out before i post, and try not to make assumptions about others’ “real intentions” just because they have a different style than i.

By: Jrade

Jrade — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 06:16:21 +0000

Hmm, fair enough, I can’t debate that. I had been led to a different understanding regarding its use, however being unsure, I should not have raised it as any sort of mistake.

I am honestly sorry for calling into question the poster (or, indeed, posters) involved.

It was a good comeback, however. Good use of parallelism.

By: Jrade

Yes, you know, I am an asshole…

I saw that someone else had made a mistake, and they seemed displeased with it (read their parenthical statement), ergo I told them what the correct spelling was.

Indeed, that definitely does make me an asshole…in the future, I will abstain from answering any questions that people might pose.

My greatest apologies for causing what is clearly a great affront to your decency.

“honest” mistakes don’t bother you but “your”/”you’re”, etc. does? confusing, not least because i’m not sure how one would work out the “honest” mistakes from the (what?) “deliberate” (?) ones.
