lazy fucking typos

[Caron1968]

AIBU to be irritated by posters who make numerous typos and then have the audacity to apologise and say things like "oooooh I am so cross at this my spelling and grammar has gone by the board".
For fucks sake proof read prior to posting. It isn't that difficult.

I think I should now retire with shame written all over my face. Never again shall I dare to create a thread on MN. I feel like the weedy kid at school who got picked last for football in the playground.

I do proof read, but I often don't notice mistakes until I post.

"the audacity to apologise" - yeah, some people and their fucking cheek, right? They actually have the nerve to say sorry about their mistakes. Fuckers!

Kick me while I am down unquietdad.

Don't whinge Caron, you did know what was coming!

"oooooh I am so cross at this my spelling and grammar has gone by the board".
What does this mean?

Meh. Typos on MN - forgivable, especially when it's the heat of the moment and you're arguing with someone.

But, work emails

typos or typo's......

Humm, I really must question the aprostphy is 'fuck's sake'.

By my understading, the ' is to show posession - does the sake belong to the fuck?

I am thinking it is fucks sake....

Caron you just started this thread to see how many replies you would get didn't you? You knew we would all bite.

I always write 'typoes'. Who knows? Defo not with apostrophe though, unless typo(e)s have possession of whatever it is.

Clear as mud, ho hum.

What about fucks' sake?

Nah, it should be fuck's sake. Because of it is for the sake of fuck. N'est pas?

OP - I love the way offensve langauge is OK, but a typo isn't!

proof-read?

I really don't give a shite!

I think it is for the sake of fuck. You say for God's sake, for Pete's sake etc, so it follows that for fuck's sake is correct.

"Kick me while I am down unquietdad."

Surely you had some inkling of the kind of response you would get after posting an adversarial title and op?

It is the sake belonging to fuck, toddlerwrangler.

No apostrophe in typos (plural, not posession)

AbsofCroissant - I don't think it is fuck's sake, because then it would be posessive to two fucks?

Hummm, I use a horse board and there ae some HARDCORE grammer pendants on there, however swearing is very frowned upon. Still I need answers!

Actually, you have all brought me round.

Fuck's sake it is.

Absof croissant, fucks' sake would be correct if there were more than one fuck.

Fucks' sake would be two or more fucks. Fuck's sake is one.

Caron1968 - AIBU is a question!

Surely therefore, the first sentence in your OP should have ended in a question mark?

Eh?

Eh?

when i first joined i wondered who Don was and why posters were pointing out his hard hat. i have learned so much since then, thank you pedants' corner.

You are missing a question mark and an apostrophe.

Kindly check your work more carefully before posting again.

Exacto.

I am now pro-typos on MN after someone gave me a dressing down on the Politics board for a typo, and I felt very miffed

So how many fucks are we talking about?
