Well, if you are going to call someone ignorant then you should probably check your spelling.NateWiese wrote:
I get more annoyed with people who feel it's their duty to tell you whatever idea you've presented is nullified by the fact that you misspelled. Too many people ignore what the person meant to say, and instead focus on how they said it.
"Obama's a muslim."
"No he's not, that's just ignoratn to say."
"ignoratn? What an idiot."
I'm guilty of that one. Well, there's nothing wrong with saying "maths" since it is just an abbrieviation. But I also tend to spell it without an apostrophe. Naughty me.Eye-GiZzLe wrote:

That fad started with people ignoring capitalization. You may think I'm kidding, but I'm old as shit and been online since the 2400 baud days. I've watched it slowly turn from all lower-case to "ur liek teh funn1e$t boiz ev@". Just think where it'll all be in another 15 years or so.twiistaaa wrote:
ive never seen so many capitals at the start of sentences in a thread before. good work girls..
the only thing that bothers me is the new (or old) fad of talking like a moron "i has got interwebs". i ignore leet posts and i tend to just skim over poorly worded or mispelt sentences. as long as they have a point i'll figure it out, i'm not gona get my grammar stick out and waste my time beating it over people.

Let's see why this is wrong: "Fore'c'sle / Forecastle". That highlighted apostrophe is unneeded as there is no contraction of the word.cowami wrote:

Fo'c'sle / Forecastle you can see where the word is contracted, thus requiring an apostrophe.
So, if your rowing coxswain taught you that, it's wrong. But only grammatically, because you can remove the aforementioned apostrophe and then it should be correct.

Exactly. But if you insist on saying 'Maths', at least try to justify it. This seemed the best way.Eye-GiZzLe wrote:

Maybe in american, but it is an English word. Not my fault you were never taught anything properly.Eye-GiZzLe wrote:
