That wasn't so hard, was it? Examples: *You're writing at a third grade level. *Your grammar and spelling are atrocious. Now you try! |

You're apparently bored, because your post is boring. |

Now that we've covered those 2 gems, maybe we can insist on proper use of the following: progressive, liberal, conservative, fascist, racist, gay, pedophile, war, she, her, old, young, obscene, harmful, creepy and illiterate. |

PPSM: If you weren't so insufferably condescending, you might be interesting. I hope for your sake, and those in your real life, that this insecure scold is merely an Internet persona. |

The caftan's pattern clashed with the earrings' color scheme. |

Cue/queue (!) Witness the considerable ownage of PPSM here: http://w11.zetaboards.com/Zatalounge/topic/8803649/1/ Schoolchild-aged error. Shameful. This current thread has "epic backfire thread" written all over it. |

Because that's exactly the same as confusing your/you're. |

Also, I made this thread in retaliation for our resident Breitbart/Fox News quoting FFC, in response to the following thread. It was meant for one person. Some of you are taking things too personally. http://w11.zetaboards.com/Zatalounge/topic/9020883/1/#new |

Hon, nearly every thread I post is an "epic backfire thread." 1) I'm used to it. 2) You bored freaks have very low standards for considering things "epic." |

Oh, and--after a year of posting here and 125 blog posts to mine for ridicule--the fact that you guys have to keep repeating the same "cue/queue" error is indicative that you have nothing else to use against me. Which indeed shows my spelling and grammar are pretty damn good. Own that, you silly bitches. |

We have always excelled at English grammar, as well as English literature, due to our excellent childhood educatia by Dominican nuns and priests in private - and very exclusive/expensive - schools! |

I know the difference, we all know the difference, you post it all over DL and here, I don't know about anyone else, I just do it because it gets your goat. Control freak English queens, what does that say about them? |

The old "I meant to do that" excuse. Sure, toots. Sure. Smooches! |

Why now your command of the proper usage of the apostrophe means that you're not typing on a tablet with autocorrect. That was the best I could come up with. |

I hate the auto-correct on my iPad, which always tries to change "its" to "it's." It could one day bring me considerable grief on this forum. |

Is it not possible to disable the auto-correct features on the various gadgets? |

Why don't you people just turn the damned auto-correct off? |

Perhaps people don't want to disable auto-correct because then they wouldn't have an excuse for their sloppy spelling & punctuation. |

Yes, to anyone with even a rudimentary education this distinction is clear. But why is anyone so insecure that they need to scold other people about it? I don't get that. It's a bit sad. |

Hon, I already gave the link and explained what I was doing. This thread wasn't a general rant. It was aimed at one poster in particular. Our resident FFC was going off in another thread, and proved himself too stupid to know the difference. I started the thread to scold him. Simmer the fuck down. |
