You derided socialismislost for his spelling error. In GGG's reply to that very post, he wrote, and I quote:

"...And btw, while socialists are lost by definition, socialism is on the march all over the world and needs to be defeated. If you were an actual conservative, you would no that."

I am waiting for you to apply the same standards of spelling, and deride him for mis-spelling "know".

Oh, wait! "no" is actually a word, and a spell checker would not catch that, so GGG gets a pass from you, whereas "through" is not a word at all...

Wait, that doesn't work either....

I think the term “derided” is a bit strong for the mild ribbing given.

And I believe someone else already chided GGG for the “no” vs “know” usage.

Nice thing about FR, everybody is really good about finding spelling errors, so you know someone will catch it.

“You derided socialismislost for his spelling error.” [excerpt]
Actually, I think he spelled it right. (just the wrong word for the sentence)

And I didn't mean to be deriding.

My only intention was to offer a constructive hint.


The fact is, I used to confuse follow and fallow and it drove me nuts every time I forgot. (and the spell checker was no help, and don't get me started on lose, loose, etc)

So, I can appreciate the occasional grammar tip.

Seriously, I was just trying to be helpful. (No need to get your knickers in a knot over it)
