I am normally not an angry person, most people I know tell me that I act like I smoke pot. Laid back and mellow. However, the second I click on this sight my blood starts to boil, and I can feel my skin taking a greenish hue. Especially when I see people pointing out grammatical errors in otherwise good posts.
Get over yourselves, you act like you've never missplaced a comma in your lives. You take it upon yourselves to nitpick and tear apart others' posts. It's hardly even creative criticism, all you're doing is pointing out the one or two errors that someone accidentaly made. I've read the posts of people that have decided to be the grammar police, and they're hardly perfect, so just because someone misspelled a word or two or formatted wrong, it doesn't mean you have to beat them to death with an english textbook.
Jeese.
I'm sure my grammar is going to be torn apart in this one, but hey, I asked for it.

"'site' is one or more Internet addresses at which an individual or organization provides information to others often including links to other locations where related information may be found."
Construction site.
=============================================
in this case, "site" refers to a WEBSITE, but thanks.

Agree with Zeccs.
Plus, bad grammar takes away from the content of a post. If you keep getting distracted by words like "sight" *coughs* (there's no such thing as a websight, dumbass), then any valid point the author has is usually lost. Even worse, is when someone calls someone stupid and does it ignorantly.

Fuck you.
If we can teach people how to speak and write propperly through verbal degradation, then i say we do it. Obviously public schools aren't doing their jobs.

"sight" defines forming a visual image.
"site" is one or more Internet addresses at which an individual or organization provides information to others often including links to other locations where related information may be found.
your diction sucks.

I was really enlightened by that guy who called me a homosexual. I tip my hat to you sir, before you post anything ever again, don't.

Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite author. I imagine his posts would get flamed by those who don't read. His writing is all over the place.
I do believe in spell-check, only because I'm too lazy to care while I'm writing. But I want it semi-right when I'm done. Click-Click-Click (sometimes more) - pretty easy, huh?
Screw the petty details.

It's a good point. I get sick of that too. It's one thing if it's so screwed up that you can't figure it out, but it makes me crazy when someone wades into an otherwise decent argument and attacks is solely on syntax grounds. Substance over form.

It can't be as bad as your hanging subordinate clause.

Our lives are in the hands of men no smarter than you or I. Many of
them incompetent boobs. I know this because I've worked alongside
them, gone bowling with them, watched them pass me over for promotions
time and again and I say this stinks.
