To oppose that, which imo is MUCH worse is cyclists practically in the middle of the damn road making it almost impossible to get past on some roads.

The grammar nazi's on these forums!!!! If you have time to pick apart peoples posts and not actually contribute to the thread other then that, you should be banned for being so anal about grammar!

Become a ******* english teacher if it means that much to you!!!!!!

I try to correct grammar where I can. But I don't do it to pick apart people's posts, as you said I do it to contribute. I'm trying to help, it's not my fault if people don't want to accept it. If people really hate it that much, then, not wishing to anger anyone, I shall stop. In fact, why don't we have a poll.

My argument is that I am trying to help people in anyway I can, and grammar correcting is just one. :)

This. ******* cyclists... :p

Though admittedly half the time its some woman driver in the car in front who is too much of a puss to pass the cyclist, so a large queue of cars form behind her and the cyclist gets the blame. :rolleyes:

Basically I just hate stupid and mal-coordinated people. How do you LIVE under these conditions??? :mad:
 
Shops that tell you they have an item in stock, and you'd receive it in a week. To find out on the day you're meant to get it by ringing them that in fact will be a day late. To later have them e-mail you later in the day that they in fact don't have it in stock! Now it's too late to order said item from other places 'cos for next day it's too late... ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Now going skiing tomorrow without a decent bag...

Why do people get annoyed when their grammar/spelling is corrected, surely one should be thankful?

I reckon it's because of the fact that deep down they know they'll never be a perfect speller/writer, and every correction is a little reminder of this, which nobody wants to hear. ;)

Personally I think everyone should strive to self-improve, people who try to assist others so that they don't make the same dumb mistake again are only being kind (or just being general douchebags :p), and if corrections are always accepted rather than met with angst then we can only improve as a whole.

More corrections = less mistakes = less spelling/grammar nazis = less whining about mistakes/s.g.nazis = everybody happy

Thinking about it anyone who uses firefox should have the dictionary file... It points out so many of my typos but spelling mistakes get less every day as I learn what I'm spelling wrong.
