Correcting others’ grammar/spelling mistakes

mcem

I think it is important that we just accept what comes. Everyone speaks in a different way, writes in a different way. Let's just read and comment on what is being said, no matter how it is put down.

It must be very difficult for you and others who can see the glaring errors that some of us make. All I can say is thanks for not pointed them out.

Actually I don’t consider myself academically and intellectually superior to the rest of you but I know I am to some of you

That was quite a shocking thing to read on another thread too.

TAAT Jal naughty naughty naughty. But what I posted is true if shocking to some of you.Tough

Glass houses.

Given the amount of personal abuse I get dished out to me - bitter, twisted,angry, envious, jealous, sad life, gossipy old biddy etc etc - I just thought I’d call my PR company in.

bitter, twisted,angry, envious, jealous, sad life, gossipy old biddy etc etc
Ooh - not nice!
But I'm sure you can handle it without having to call in your PR people.

CBA to continue this

<sigh>
PR company?

CBA

ally far from 'not pointing out glaring errors', I'm simply saying that seem to want to want to make some sort of impression by 'talking posh' and that it's just not necessary in a supposedly relaxed and informal situation like GN.

Sorry 'that some seem to want to make......'

A bit late in the day, maryeliza, but now I come to think of it, I can't remember seeing any grammar or spelling corrections on Gransnet.

I think there are plenty of posts on here which state the exact opposite - because you havn’t seen them does not actually been they don’t exist

Been = mean

Farmore15 I bet you were popular.

With respect mcem, I really don't understand why it would bother you. Surely people "talk" the way they 'talk'. It's like some sort of reverse snobbery.

This thread was about correcting people, not insulting and abusing them. Which we all seem to take from some. I suppose we should retaliate, but that would make those who do it think we care.

Ally I'd like to think that but am wondering if there isn't some sort of equivalent of the telephone voice and I 'd like to think folk here are a bit more relaxed.
Not a major issue. Not worth picking away at.
Watching a dog worrying a bone can get a bit irritating, eh?

Right, so we are now on page 2 and I think that there is a general consensus that we should not comment on how posters express their opinions.
May we comment on the opinions?
And perhaps the inventor of the spellchecker could apply his/her inventive talents to dveloping the “bullsh*t checker”?

I give up, wish I could find a craft to take up some time .

I must go and sew up dolly.
DH thinks I have lost the plot because I talk to her (she hasn't got a face yet).

so she doesn't answer back.
Yet.

Has she got a name?
You may wish to not answer that
