My man, things must be boring in Japan ; ) Your comments weren’t overbearing or even prideful in any way shape or form. By the way, I caught my error above ^ and you never even called me on it! I thought the rage would be strong with you :o ]

I don’t mind the occasional typo, but misuse of the following words:
Your
You’re
Weird (it’s not “wierd”, morons!)
Who’s

Their
They’re
There
Lose
Loose
… is annoying. Especially when done consistently.
Also “txt” speak.
People who consistently fail at grammar or being semi-readable when posting (and of course working on the assumption English is their first language) infuriate me to no end.
I am disappointment in you’re grammer[/quote]
This should read “…fail at grammar or AT being semi-readable…”[/quote]

I use a sorta (there I go again) transliterated spoken English vernacular as typed communication all the time. Like the “word” “sorta” for instance. Or omitting the “g” at the end of a present tense verb for another instance. "sayin, comin, goin, etc. I kinda (and yet again) doubt it, but in case anybody cares, that is intentional.

There’s a difference between employing a vernacular and just plain old ignorantly making the same mistakes over and over again. That’s what irks me. But then, I’m one of those people whose stress level jumps from green to yellow when someone doesn’t erase every mark on a whiteboard or chalk board, so maybe that says something.
Tirib, if you attempt to throw my thread off track, I promise you I will rein it right back in by pointing out that your parenthetical remark lies outside the final period and therefore requires proper capitalization and punctuation as a complete sentence.
OK, lol. Somebody was complaining earlier that this thread didn’t belong here.
I am mildly disturbed that I actually relate to the whole whiteboard syndrome thing. I also can’t believe everybody let me off with my misuse of “their”. Shameful =]
