That was really my gripe... im just tired of hearing people not add the ed or the s on the end of their words.
Applespider said:You don't care about punctuation but you expect others to respect your views on spelling. 🙄 Your punctuation (or lack thereof) probably bugs just as many people as the OP's spelling did.
CaptainCaveMann said:Ok i'll say this again for those of you who were to thick to hear it the first time. I was correcting his spelling, not his punctuation. So i was right. If i was correcting his spelling and punctuation then you would be right in correcting my punctuation as i was the corrector. The point is he threw up on his computer and i dont like reading a post from someone who spells repair as repare and "i yack on my ibook" means that he yacks on it on a regular basis. I "yacked" on my ibook means he did it one time. So i guess if we dont correct this then it means he yacks on his ibook quite frequently, so hey thats nice. Can we see pictures? 😀

JAT said:Yaayy! (btw, it should be "too thick") I will say, when I first read the thread title I expected a video of him yacking. Due to the missing -ed. A little disappointed, really.
Nope. Any spelling/grammar/punctuation/language corrections you type in a forum must be completely error-free. Otherwise you are wide open for counter-attacks without remorse. Period. Doesn't matter if your corrections were, uh....correct, your mistakes are ready for bashing!
This is the internet forum law.

CaptainCaveMann said:Actually he yacks on his computer all the time. Pay attention, the next thing we'll be talking about is that he may need to see a doctor about that.

timb said:Ergo, you have no business correcting other people's spelling, grammar or punctuation.
