dandv's "English Police crop"

Untitled — 2 years ago

You’re pathetic! Why would you actually spend time searching for people that don’t write as well as you and put them on a list. Is that exploitation or is that snobbery on your part? And stop putting your little chain logo on every comment. Nobody cares.
By all means correct people in person on stuff like “you’re” when they have written “your”( like I did yesterday, and he changed it it UR) but doing this on the internet is ridiculous, everyone abreviates, or makes typos, get over it. It’s a fact of life. Its like special olympics, even if you win, you’re still retarded. Don’t be a snob, not everyone cares about punctuation the internet, it doesn’t mean I write essays like that. I have you know I am a B grade honours student in english, so please refrain from your childish behavior and either delete this list or at least, take me off it.

I don’t.

I only add to the list such grammatically pathetic individuals when I find their entries on 43things. If I searched for them, I’d have to stop going to work, and this list would comprise perhaps 50% of the 43thing population (~500,000 users).

> Is that exploitation

exploitation ?!

> By all means correct people in person

Huh? “People in person” speak, rather than “rite”. I’m not into pronunciation.

> on stuff like “you’re” when they have
> written “your”( like I did yesterday,

“as” I did yesterday (see http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxlikevs.html)

> and he changed it it UR)

Huh? Who changed it to UR? (which is even l4m3r)

> everyone abreviates,

I don’t abreviate. I abbreviate. By the way, do yourself a favor and get Firefox. It has a built-in spell checker.

> It’s a fact of life. Its like special olympics,

Jeez. Can you make up your mind between “it’s” and “its”?

Is your run-on sentence above, missing prepositions, and not capitalizing “Internet”, supposed to convince me that your essays are any less pathetic?

> I have you know I am a B grade honours
> student in english,

What you just wrote above, my friend, is risible. And a perfect argument for why “your” on this list.

How long did it take you to analyse every letter I wrote in that comment?

Per letter?

Probably under 0.2 seconds. It took me much longer to explain the errors to you, in hope that you being a student of English, would be interested.

You are welcome.
