“you do realize this is one of their tactics in order to try to disprove the message, don’t you? It is a favorite tactic of the left. Maybe you did not realize that but I’ve dealt with many liberals who thinks it’s effective in fighting conservative messages.”
The left will use the missing hyphen to discredit his message, just as you say. I’ve seen them use that tactic for better than thirty years, and it is precisely the reason I pointed out the error in punctuation. The very best way to deprive the left of that tactic is not to make such obvious, elementary errors.
I posted one note, 15 words in two sentences, remarking on an error in punctuation. In response, the other poster has put up hundreds of words talking about what a horrible person I am for trying to help him. He lost all semblance of rationality and behaved atrociously. In my subsequent notes I only responded to his attacks, so it is inaccurate to say that I went all “grammar nazi” on him. One note, 15 words, as opposed to hundreds of words’ worth of childish insult, and yet you chastise me.
Oh, well, no good deed goes unpunished.
“people posting on message boards and social medias, are not in it to write books and media articles, where spelling and grammar are important”
This—this is our medium. This is where we show ourselves to be thoughtful, intelligent people with worthwhile things to say.
Or not.
Sometimes this is where we show ourselves to be too immature to accept a minor correction without flying into an irrational rage. Which of us behaved more like a leftist? The one who posted 15 words of assistance, or the one who can’t control his rage?
Would you PLEASE get over yourself.
Spelling errors or grammar errors, does not make one unthoughtful or unintelligent, as this is not a perfect world. Your excuses and nuances is also what liberals do.
Please just stop.
Thank you.
