Forum Pet Peeves

1. Bad grammar and spelling really bugs me.

Don't read my posts pls

 

[Majic]

anal spellers

Who cares if something is spelled wrong. It's the content that is important.

1. people that say first to a virgin thread.

2. people that put threads in the wrong sections, such as streaming announcements in the main forum, that's why there's a streaming section.

3. when folks go totally off topic. If you can't stick to what the thread is about start your own!

 

[Snake Plisken]

Posters who write 1 long paragraph a mile long.

People who don't even try to spell write. Buy a $3 dictionary.

People that turn every post into something Political.

People that come on here to b*tch without giving any details (then why did you put it on a public forum).

And cuemakers that don't have any sense of color coordination (Oops, how that get in there!).

I think you mean spell "right". If you want to ***** about it, it would be a good idea to not be guilty of it yourself. Just a suggestion.

 

[S.Tat]

People who quote the initial post.

People who quote long posts only to say "tap tap tap!"

People who quote long posts without cutting it down.

People who quote themselves.

People who quote and agree to their own long posts without cutting it down.

 

[Baxter]

People who complain about petty crap on the internet. It's the freaking internet for gods sake.

Unbelievably similar to my pet peeves too. All of them. We're not so different, you and I.

I think my biggest Peeve is when someone starts another new Dale Perry thread

People who don't even try to spell write. Buy a $3 dictionary.

This would be the ones who turn spell checker off in their browser before posting

 

[rackem]

Just thought of another.
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet.
Don't you hate it when people don't re-size their pictures before attaching.
Makes you have to scroll the whole page. :frown:
And then somebody will quote it. :slap:

Actually, IE's / Firefox's spell checker wouldn't have caught that error in Snapshot9's post, because all the words were spelled correctly. That was more a grammar or word selection error ("write" vs. "right" or correct), not a spelling error. Built-in grammar checkers still have a way to go, unfortunately. But don't worry, software developers over in India are hard at work trying to develop features in the software we use (e.g. spelling, grammar, format checkers) to protect American computer users from themselves!
