Your Pet Peeves

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Here's another one of mine: Lack of capitalization, grammar, and spelling in a post. Typos are one thing, consistently not capitlizing, improper use of contractions, and frequent misspellings drive me batty. This includes using your instead of you're.

dont you agree that this is much harder on your eyes? you cannot easily see where on sentence stops and another begins. call me an internet snob if you want, but this also makes you seem uneducated and i am liable to skip over your post or not take you seriously.

I also do not like that Disney has honeymoon registries. This is considered the epitome of bad ettiquette, but many people don't realize that. If that's not bad enough, asking complete strangers to contribute is even worse!

i no wht u mean

(hehehehe)

I agree, but I probably have made typos before. I did notice that I need a new keyboard, as this one seems to be skipping letters as I type, causing me to backtrack. The register of it seems to be going! I am used to typing rather quickly. Usually when posting, I have several machines running, and use KVM's to switch between them.

The honeymoon registery is new to me. I didn't know that they had such a thing. It must be new?

Heh... Sorry about that. I'll try to capitalize more.

I totally agree with the your = you're OR their = there = they're issues.

Sometimes I think posters do it on purpose.

Oh, new pet peeve:

People who get those fast pass rejection slips over and over and over... This one girl was just dim or something, she stuffed her ticket in about 7 seperate times, getting the rejection slip repeatedly because she was trying to get fast passes for her entire group with one ticket. Ugh.

Here Here!!! Especially now that most browsers have the red squiggles like in Word that tell you when you misspelled.

I used to belong to a message board where people consistently did not capitalize or punctuate. all of the posts.... were written....in this type of manner...

Trying to follow a post was a nightmare! I ended up leaving. I think it's the author/future teacher in me.

I have a good solution for this. I have a problem digesting food properly and quickly which gives my gut some not so nice properties brewing in there being an SG! I end up passing wind *on accident* as I am standing right in fromt of them, my posterier side facing them. :twisted: Nasty, I know. But it is being anSG to stop in the center of the row.

Taking a moment to love you, EB. I could not agree more.

Nice thing now? When I make a grammatical error, I can go back and fix it any time. One of these days, I'll go back and reread all my posts... all 2649 of 'em.

I usually watch my spelling, etc., but sometimes these aging fingers of mine slip on the keys, and I end up with a typo. At least it's not as bad as when I used to write on a typewriter (anyone remember those?:D :) ; when my fingers slipped on the typewriter keys, they'd get stuck between the keys--OUCH!

Remember all the Selectric balls so you could have multiple fonts? Adobe has made it so easy to get and use some really cool fonts.

My pet peeve:
I don't like the way my back hurts when I walk too much at the parks. That's why I will be on wheels this trip. Next trip, I walk!

What? You aren't going to be using adult Heelies? I'm shocked! :D:

I had to use a "Brother" brand to get all my papers done in college. Unless I could do them on the IBM at work!! (after hours!)
