If one is posting to call out someone else for grammar and/or spelling errors, one's own post should be pristine and error-free, as well. Just a thought... 4951

Mostly unrelated, but a pet peeve of mine is this mentality:"Only uneducated people cuss" or "People cuss because they have a limited vocabulary" or "only unsuccessful and low class people cuss"HA HA HA HA!  Incredibly ignorant (or dishonest) viewpoint from those who've obviously never worked with scientists or been in a corporate boardroom.   4951

@Odin: Lawyers and legal staff cuss as bad as anyone imaginable. There are millions, sometimes billions on the line, as well as their reputation and bar card. Sailors and seasoned truckers would blush.
 
Actually, they aren't cuss words...they are sentence enhancers! 4951

@donnatella: Exactly!  It serves several purposes:  relieves stress, emphasizes the criticality of a situation and can also assist in team bonding.  I highly recommend it. 4951

@Odin: my Dad held a Masters in Chemistry and was an extremely intelligent and educated man. He also cussed like a sailor. My Mom used to say the ozone hole over the polar cap was actually due to my Dad's cussing. She hated his cussing and would tell him that "uneducated people cuss BS". Unfortunately- I picked up this bad habit and I have my moments where I, too, "contribute to the ozone hole."

Well, most of you know my stance on this. Just a general question - why did you go through the trouble of going all through high school if you're not even going to spell things correctly? There is a big difference between a typo and spelling a word incorrectly. A typo is a mistake and a misspelling is more than likely due to ignorance or laziness. Stop relying on Spell Check. That does more harm than good. And run-on sentences are annoying as hell. There is no excuse for grown adults to consistently butcher the English language.   4951

@donnatella:Excellent point on the grammar correction jerks.  I find that when people post solely to correct one's grammar it is because they have run out of good points/arguments to make or because they simply have nothing to add to the conversation but can't stand the thought of not being heard.  Sad, really. 4951

@Odin:
 
When I worked on the trading floor every other word from every trader was the f- bomb. Our traders were all degreed professionals that made an assload of money. I'm complety immune to cussing and cuss way to much myself. Thats what 11 years of f- bombs does to you. 4951
