[D0ug]

Mute means unable to speak

Moot means irrelevant

[D0ug]

[Hermit]

Suite! Thanks for letting us know! I'd hate to embarrass myself by misusing a word.

 

[D0ug]

[lustreking]

Its easy to annoy English major's.

 

[TheMan]

You can distract yourself from these grammar issues by going off to brew a Belgium Ale......

I belive "It's Moo"

 

[jholder]

RDWHAHB! (Seriously it bugs me too...)

 

[TomSD]

I don't mind misspells or poorly formed posts or even the trend toward lousy/leet type abbreviations but the wrong word (moot/mute, their/there/they're, here/hear, etc) thing bugs me for some reason. Not like "post a correction with links and stuff" bugs me but like "driving down the road and hit a pot hole you didn't notice" bugs me. I just keep going but it is jarring/distracting when it happens, lol.

This, along with the complete lack of punctuation. Stream of consciousness is not a viable forum language.

The OP is lucky he have never received and email from Art... Than he'd be reel mad.

I'm on a pipe smoking forum as well, no not THAT kind of pipe people, and it's amazing how often someone will be asking about the bowl of their pipe and refer to it as the bowel. I don't know how many threads I've seen asking about how often one should be reaming out their bowels. There really is no easy way to answer that question and it's probably best left to your doctor to discuss that with you.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Answer: As often as you care to. We are not here to judge. Now, do you have a pipe smoking question?

Multiple broken sentences and lack of periods. You also created a new pronoun! If you're going to be a grammar nazi then you could try to lead by example.

 

[Cromwell]

Ha! I contend that using the wrong word occasionally doesn't affect the quality of communication. Consider the following examples:

Belgian porters may be stout.
I chilled my wart.


So, if Helen Keller is a deaf moot, is that irrelevant?

 

[JonM]

People are definately suppose to proofread there posts; that way your going to make less mistakes, then without, proofreadign.

After all, rules of grammar is something schools should insure their alumnis know about.

 

[JonM]

Sometimes the then/than errors can be funny, such as "I'd rather be p*ssed off then p*ssed on."

 

[mcwilcr]

(But you are right)

Hate to be a killjoy but it's time not tine.

 

[Lunchtime]

The only grammar Nazi I can't stand is the guy who uses a typo as an argument in a debate.

"Well, clearly your argument is invalid because you hit the wrong button..."

I say we turn on him!

Poetic license


If you


do

this

It's a poem


and it does not even

need to

rhyme!

(And it was intentional )

 

[D0ug]

Besides, as was pointed out earlier, the point is moo.
