To think that if you are OP

[ArgyMargy]

..you should bloody well check your post makes sense and is readable? Starting to really piss me off that people want advice and support but can't even be arsed to check that they have used actual words. Yes, we all struggle with phone keys but some of us take the trouble to correct the typos and bizarre auto-corrects. And you can turn off auto-correct, you know.

If I can't understand your post, you will get no support from me.

Rant over.

some people might be too drunk ...have a heart THE OP

I never understand posts that end "rant over". Full stops work for me.

I too get a bit annoyed at nonsensical OPs and titles which is why this one annoyed me. I clicked on it and replied anyway. I hope you are grateful!

Meh. What makes you think you're the queen advice giver? I'm sure they won't miss out on much if you don't post on their threads.

OP - your title and follow up posts tell me that you're a little bit silly.

Do you feel stupid now op? You should.

The thing I really hate is when a poster pours their heart out, obviously desperate for help and some nasty twat comes along and corrects their grammar/spelling.

Yes, we all struggle with phone keys but some of us take the trouble to correct the typos and bizarre auto-corrects. Hilarious!

Judge not lest ye be judged and all that. Everybody makes mistakes, and in the words of the inimitable Oscar Wilde 'Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.'.

Oh how i have laughed at this

The first rule when criticising everyone else is to make sure you are perfect yourself.

Some posts are easier to read than others. Some people's style of writing is easier to understand than others.

Posts without punctuation or proper paragraphs do annoy me though, as do posts in text-speak.

Margy, you just dropped a right bollock there, didn't you ?

Truly hilarious.

Oh dear, we have a member of the grammar, spelling etc. police! Have you consider some of us rely on predictive text due to dyslexia and sometimes don't pick up on the auto spelling mistakes...

Here's a chocolate medal.

# your original post though.... Pot calling kettle!

Can I just say I'm OP and so is my wife!

People who live in glass houses should look for the beam in their own eye before they throw stones!

I have a vested interest in not minding other people's spelling and grammar mistakes pot calling kettle black etc

What bugs me is the post and run brigade. Recently, I have spent ages writing a long and helpful reply to an OP and the bloody OP has just buggered off and not come back to the thread. It's bloody rude. I don't need to be thanked but I would like to know that the OP has at least read the replies.

Its worst when the OP has requested specific information (eg in EBay or Legal) and then ignored all the helpful replies.

Saggy , what is DFONTAD?

OP, the thing to do now and will gain you lots of brownie points (rather than people thinking you are a bit of a dick) is to come back with good grace and berate yourself for your pedantic bufferoony. Any chance of that ?

IHaveA yes, the lack of acknowledgement is sometimes a pain in the arse.

Xpost with Saggy :)

Scary - I expect the namechanging is taking longer than she expected. Bless

This thread's getting better and better

Especially like 'some people might be too drunk ...have a heart THE OP'.

Poor misunderstood pissheads, always getting the bum deal.
