To get annoyed when mnetters put "of" instead of "have"

[Doobies]

I see it more and more often in aibu.

"to of eaten this"

"to of gone out today"

To give a couple of examples.

Fear not said He for mighty dread has seized thy troubled mind. Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind...

cabbageroses - BBC journalists get who / which wrong all the time

I have already stated cabbages I don't give a toss about grammar on a chat forum ..so enough with the patronising corrections

If I was making basic grammatical mistakes (as opposed to typos - it is incredibly simple to tell the difference) I'd prefer to know. I'd be a bit embarrassed, I'm sure. But I'd hope that as a grown woman I'd take it on the chin, and go forth from that point using a beautiful language more beautifully, and not get ridiculously defensive. There's no shame in being wrong, only in childishly defending a dubious 'right' to not learn by dubbing other people 'superior'.
Language is important, and it's perfectly valid to discuss it on a forum - we all educate our children, don't we? The OP has not singled out a particular poster, just made a general comment.
OP YANBU. At all.

Nicely put, independiente.

Not nice too dub other posters thick and stupid either ,so there are faults on both sides

But making grammatical errors does NOT mean that someone is thick or stupid. No more than making a driving error, or cocking up making a sponge cake or whatever. Everyone makes mistakes every day, it's how we learn.

i do exacting and precise at work,not mn.mn is recreational blah blah not requiring total attention to detail

this thread is silly, i wonder if people only post to moan about spelling and grammar and don't bother posting on wider subjects.

who are you doobies?

doobies fucked off ..pretty damn quickly lol

doobies is slang for pubes.she wiry all right

Shes had a close shave with the non pedants I reckon

shes got us bad spellers by short and curlies

pubes=dube/dubies.dubies is slang for pubes

doobie also joint,as in pass the doobie man

wasn't that a song by musical youth

No was pass the dutchie sea

The OP never said that people were "thick" or "stupid". If people chose to become defensive and put that interpretation on it that's their responsibility.

The op didn't, but other people on the thread did

the op is vague in the extreme

you are reponsible for feeling thick or stupid

Then why are you having such fun taking the piss out of the OP's name?

because puerile ill informed tittering can be funny katisha.i wholly recommend it.mn is home of petty and puerile.and i am only too happy to contribute to the mêlée

usaul you are terribly defensive aren't you?

Why aren't you concerned about correct grammar?

I am a hopeless typist and my posts are often full of typos, but I can't stand bad grammar.

Surely rather than saying you don't care, you could entertainthe notion that you might actually learn something useful?

It's funny really- people seem to fall into one of two camps: the "I don't care if I make a mistake and if you tell me I am wrong then you are patronsising me" and the other: "Thanks, it's always good to learn something."

my posts are riddled with errors as i type fast and mn isnt important enough to warrant attention to detail
