    Spelling nazis

    I just found i got a negative rep because i criticized someone for correcting my spelling, it wasn't the criticized who repped me by the way.

    I'll admit my message might have been snappy but i see pointless posts in threads all the time and allot of them are to do with spelling.

    Its quite annoying when you are waiting for some help/advice from knowledgeable people who are in abundance here and you click the "new post to thread ..." link in your email and get a pointless comment.

    Do people really are so much about spelling? Are people really that bored?

    I don't know how people find the time!

    You ought to capitalise "i"s when they refer to yourself.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Thought so, another one. I am sure you got a gold star at school well done.

    i think its just people going over the top and posting for the point of posting, whether it be helpful or not
    i find if a post is easily understandable then why do you need to comment about syntax and punctuation if they miss out a coma or apostrophy
    and if you get an email about this and you find it pointless, very sorry
    we may just go where no ones been

    Spelling nazi's what?

    Another red mark for cruelty to the common apostrophe.

    Starting a thread like this is the KB equivalent of wearing a sign saying "Kick me"....

    Yup, was going to mention that.
    I'm crap with spelling/grammar, if KB didn't have spell check I think we would all be suffering...

    Yeah its a pain in the arse! waiting for some good advice and getting a pointless retort.

    Its like at Christmas when some distant relative gives you a keyring thats wrapped in a box big enough for a microwave.

    yeah that was really hard to read. I can see the need for a bit of "guidence" for that one.
