to think that it is unacceptable to pick on someones grammar and/or spelling on an internet forum?

[Lorayn]

I have been on quite a few different forums/chat rooms in my time online, and tbh am getting slightly fed up with the constant barrage of insults that seem to be directed toward people who aren't professors in the English Language.

1. There is nothing that says because someone spelt a word wrong they do not know what it meant.
2. It is VERY rude to pick on people for maybe being less capable of you in this area, especially as some may have had learning difficulties or even dyslexia and
3. Make your point??? If you don't agree with someone, surely you can just explain why?? Marking them up like it is some kind of test really doesn't help your argument.

oh, btw for those of you who are so pedantic, I made sure I spelt things right for you. I hope it is readable and understandable.

See that damn Starry Starry Night does my nut, because everytime I see her name I hear the opening chords or 'Starry Starry Night . . . '

Oh fucking hell have I been had by fking greensleeves or someone? Who are you then Lorayn?

I changed my name. I started out with a topic that turned out to "catch interest" and felt slightly selfconscious after. Nice to start afresh.

me too, expat.

Yer all so rude.

Lol wet witch, I am a true newbie, I'd never been here before.

I'm really touched, I am glad the 'old hag' meant so much to you. Please, never let me forget that post.

littlelapin, I'm not proud of causing a row, I honestly wasn't trying to.
Starry said "Though I suspect, you have managed to launch yourself successfully into MN life tonight."
So the not changing my name thing was in reply to that.

I guess it's the old defense mechanism kicking in, LL.

You have been a gobshite, though

haha, a gobshite? rest assured I just spat my wine all over the keyboard, you certainly got me back for it, that was a whole mouthful!

'click' sends shivers down my spine....

it was sarcasm, hence the littlelapin

Well there you go kid. A great MNer never spills her wine ..

Huzzah!

But who sang it?

yeah, bunny, chill out, fgs.

What's your take, lapin? I'm confused.
