Rants

[rjc]

Drivers who drive in the left hand lane 10 miles under the speed limit, they usually have "A SAFE DRIVER" sticker on the bumper of their car. Please move to the right hand lane so that people driving the speed limit can pass you.

Rant:

People who misspell words, or get similar words confused (such as it's and its, affect and effect, etc.). We all graduated high school, did we not?

This is an online forum of random fast thoughts (dare I insert passionate "knee-jerk responses") and not an article written for a newspaper, book, or college term paper.

Don't frighten those whom may not be comfortable with correct grammar usage from joining in the discussion. I would rather read a grammar challenged passionate response rather than empty calculated grammar correct blowhard.

These discussions are not graded. Post Away!

MacUser,
Because someone takes the time to express their thoughts in clear, concise, and succinct English does not mean that it cannot have passion. What avails passion if you don't communicate the thought processes that underlie that passion?

One of my pet peeves is spelling, however, I can overlook a great deal of that if the context of the particular statement make sense. How many times have we witnessed someone posting something only to have it misunderstood because of their choice of words?

Most of the members of this board are Southern, or have family ties that are Southern. As a Southerner myself I find it irksome when someone post in a manner that continues to perpetuate the stereotypical image of a Southerner as being an inbred cretin.

Passion is of no use if you cannot communicate that passion without sounding like you are babbling hysterically.

When my DvR records a show on a regular channel that I had previously set to record in HiDef. Usually happens if the box gets reset or power cycled.

Those who are judgemental/critical of others.


The Seattle Mariners Scouting staff. We bring in players, give them a ton of cash and they dont produce. Richie Sexson is a great example.

HIJACK!!!

Going to see them get whupped by my Bravos this weekend, Sat and Sun.

[oletimer]

Mine is when someone uses "there" when they should "their", not that it makes any real differents. Most of the time we know what they are trying to say.

affect and effect, etc.). We all graduated high school, did we not?

Beav,

You are much too hard on the class. I graduated top male honor student and I still have trouble with "affect" and "effect", which actually are very similar at times.

Brother I would be more than happy to impart the word of knowledge in regards to proper spelling!

I misspelled one word for years, it still embarrasses me to this day and I guess my way to deal with it is to try my darndest to never misspell a word on ANYTHING -- and encourage others to do the same.

[pastorables]

I agree, but the similar usage of "affect" and "effect" is different than proper spelling, unless you are referring to "afect" or "efect"...

How did the news affect her? How did the news effect her? I will not split hairs over either of those usages.

Spelling errors are easy to correct, neoconservatism is not.

haha you are still young grasshopper. Some learn by listening.. some learn by experience...

Sure! I agree with you to a certain point considering the setting and purpose. You personally read way to much into my whimsical spontaneous counter clarification of eager's rant. I stand by exactly what I said and not what you read into it.

This possible ridicule can keep Great Men and Women of God from posting or inserting a heart felt comment, question, or much needed word from God Almighty!

I hold no personal pet peeves and release forum posters from this.

God Bless!

Oh please spare me.

If I didn't know any better, I'd just think your post was one of your many counters against pretty much everything serious I have to say.

Here's my much-needed word from above for you: Go Away.

Wow, Beav -- having a bad hair day? Undies in a wad? Talk about your classic over-reaction...
