Articulation and coherence are parts of intelligence.

It's our patriotic duty to defend the english language. Noah Webster would agree.

What does that have to do with someone that accidentally leaves out an "o". Or a cyclone fan who's 12 and posting for the first time. He makes a mistake and you jump on him. Does that make you feel better about yourself?

Articulation would involve being clearly, effectively, and easily understood. A quick proofread generally catches such mistakes (I caught myself this morning typing "is" instead of "in").

If you really take the interwebz so seriously I almost feel bad for you. Almost. You're like the lady a few offices down: You can't take ANY amount of ribbing and automatically assume people are trying to offend you.

I think generally when I see people getting made of for grammar it is either
a) pointing out irony or
b) shredding their already-faltering credibility.

I wouldn't say it's always somebody "jumping" on the person.. Most of the time it's just making fun in a friendly manner. I don't know about you, but when my friends mess something up, I generally give them some ***** for it.

So we're just supposed to let the morons go and pollute our Internet? I'm sorry, but THAT'S the loser attitude. Didn't your mother ever tell you that just because everybody's doing it doesn't make it right? We're on a COLLEGE sports fan website. You'd think we'd want to represent, instead of posting any old crap and not proofreading.

Holy crap, dude. You need to relax. It's not good for your health.

With all the stuff that gets posted on this site, do you really think getting made fun of for a typo is the worst part for a 12 year old?!

Don't get me wrong I love it all, but it's not exactly always pg-13

Got to say that this one was my favorite

Hmm, that response seemed like you just wanted to know what was funny. Right. So that Hawk comment just came out of nowhere, then? It's a thread about misspellings and you bring the fact that I am Hawk fan into it. Sensing a little anger in the post, that's all.

He spells "stadeum" wrong and someone calls him a "moron". He never posts again.
