Pointing out irrelevant spelling errors....

56 replies

Can this be made 'against Talk Guidelines' please? Where the spelling error is pointed out but everyone knew full well what was meant?

I can then report.

TIA

Maryz I hope I haven't linked to the most offensive clip ever.

I always picture these smug tits chortling and giving themselves a congratulatory hug every time they manage to demonstrate just how clever they are by shitting all over some poor person's thread.

i have just walked in on dp half naked spanking my own mother who was just wearing carpet slippers and they was doing on my bed. I am deverstated. We have a newborn and a toddler.

I think you'll find it is "were doing it on my bed" and it is "devastated"

I only meant the MC Hammer picture. I didn't realise there was a clip. Someone watch it and tell me if it's very offensive and rude? I will ask for it to be deleted if so.

Oh yes please!

But there need to be a few exceptions. Surely it's only right to point out devestated when applied to something deeply trivial and dicsgusted when applied to something quite normal that has upset a hyacinth bucket? Grin

"Grammer nob"? (Misspellings intentional!)

...apart from intentional, which autocorrect caught for me. :o

Although shouldn't there be a 'a' before wanka? Wink Grin

I really hate it when it's pointed out in a point-scoring way. Though I admit I did point out a spelling error today, though that was to a poster who was upbraiding another poster for upbraiding another poster, but she was making errors herself whilst pointing out someone else's. That's alright, isn't it?

I think it's only Mumsnet, it not a spelling/grammar exam. So as long as people can understand what you are saying it doesn't have to be perfect. Unless maybe it's a thread about spelling/grammar?

In RL when I see Bath Mat's in Dunelm it makes me really cross but I don't feel the need to have a word. Grin

SpaG is one of my biggest bugbears but I'd rather walk away from a thread than make myself look like a giant asshat by making a snide comment.

ThursdayLast · 08/08/2014 16:35

And let's face it, it's nearly always bloody autocorrect.

iK8 · 08/08/2014 16:32

Oh but if I wasn't allowed to do it how would you all know how simply marvellous and clever I am?

SemiSeriously just add the culprits' names to the Wankbadger column in your spreadsheet. It's a nice handy short cut to knowing who is a berk.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 08/08/2014 16:28

Agree.
Deleted for titheadedness.

i think 'message deleted due to poster being a tithead' would be fine Amy Smile

Hi all,

We have noticed this is becoming a bit of a problem and while we, as MNHQ, can't label anyone as a tithead, we will have a think about whether we need to deal with it in a different way.

I agree. It is spiteful and it needs to stop.

LoveBeingInTheSun · 08/08/2014 12:16

I hate this especially when it's a long emotional op and the response is about soldering a paragraphs Hmm
