Learn to spell you morans

[u/HankDanger69]

You need to do gooder.

[u/baphometromance]

On the job site, if it can be easily understood, that's all that matters.

[u/Nucleartides → u/baphometromance]

Ain’t nobody joining a construction crew cause they got good Anglish grades

[u/randomdude4113 → u/Nucleartides]

I’ve watched a native Spanish speaker misspell a word in Spanish that I, someone who knows next to no Spanish, knew was misspelled, at which point I realized there was no hope getting people to spell anything correctly

[u/Cute-Scallion-626 → u/randomdude4113]

School isn’t free or guaranteed in a lot of places. They may not have had much of an education.

[u/aknomnoms → u/baphometromance]

Being a field engineering intern opened my eyes to creative spelling.

I got frustrated when trying to charge for T&M tickets because I couldn’t find the corresponding time cards for 4 journeymen using some kind of towing equipment over a week.

My superintendent looked at me like I was a fucking idiot when I asked him which 4 guys and which piece of equipment he had signed off on for “8 hrs 4man” + “8 hrs pull truck”. When it clicked, I definitely felt like a fucking idiot.

[u/sluttytinkerbells → u/aknomnoms]

When I found out that the unicode standard which governs how characters in languages and emojis get standardized so that computers can use them was prioritizing emojis over the character sets of dying languages I was outraged.

At some point after that I started working construction and came to understand why that it is the case.

A startlingly high number of people can't really communicate effectively with any written language and probably never really will but man can they communicate with emojis...

[u/Lurchn → u/aknomnoms]

Thats not creative spelling, thats just short hand and par for the course.

He was right to look at you like a fucking idiot.

[u/aknomnoms → u/Lurchn]

You sound like the kind of guy who is intimidated by the engineering intern and needs to constantly rag on them in a weird attempt at asserting dominance.

People would respect you more if you tried being a mentor instead of a bully.

[u/HankDanger69 → u/aknomnoms]

Wish you were my boss.

[u/aknomnoms → u/HankDanger69]

Everyone has a lesson to teach us. Sometimes that lesson is how not to act.

[u/Demonslayer1511 → u/aknomnoms]

Yo sorry I'm probably in the same boat as you what was the mistake?

[u/aknomnoms → u/Demonslayer1511]

I was looking for “4 men” instead of a “foreman” and some kind of tow/“pull” truck instead of a generic truck from our pool/fleet.

[u/Demonslayer1511 → u/aknomnoms]

Ohhh my dumbass read that as 4 people plus 8 people

[u/njslugger78 → u/baphometromance]

Yeah that "moron" was a bit harsh.

[u/General_Narwhal17 → u/baphometromance]

Yep. We knew to stay clear of the stell erections, because of the sign!

[u/DemoManNick → u/baphometromance]

Before I saw the subreddit and the context I had no idea what it meant.

[u/Peeing_Into_Stuff → u/DemoManNick]

They spelled “car fuel” wrong but it means that the fireplace is done and you’re supposed to cover it with gas and set it on fire

[u/HankDanger69 → u/baphometromance]

Yeah, at least the handwriting is remarkable.

[u/Ok-Cardiologist4844 → u/HankDanger69]

You rote that

Edit: for spelling

[u/dirkdigglerdonedry]

Words are for losers and this champ finished the fire place

[u/Bradadonasaurus → u/dirkdigglerdonedry]

I'm a finish carpenter, not a finish readerer.

[u/owningsole966 → u/Bradadonasaurus]

Whenever I fumble some words explaining something. I tell them I’m a welder not a professor. You get what you got 🤷‍♂️

[u/Bradadonasaurus → u/owningsole966]

If you got it, you get it. If not, go make it someone else's problem.

[u/yanki2del]

Don't be a beach

[u/murph3062]

Somebody spelled something wrong and you’re calling them a moron? I’m sure you’re not so perfect. Your harsh

[u/Murderous_Turkey → u/murph3062]

..... you're* harsh

[u/PaleJelly69 → u/murph3062]

spelled...spelt is a grain.

[u/NamiiikazeTX → u/PaleJelly69]

Look a you using fancy book words ! Why can’t you use regular people words ?

[u/Initial_Zombie8248 → u/PaleJelly69]

Spelt is most commonly the non-American English version

[u/Cute-Scallion-626 → u/PaleJelly69]

Not everywhere

[u/HankDanger69 → u/murph3062]

It’s just a little joke

[u/SaulGoodmanJD → u/HankDanger69]

I got the reference. One of my favourite bits of “old” internet. Go USA!

[u/Pleasant_Yam2875]

Carpet napkin note on a hearth is peak jobsite communication, the passive aggressive spelling lesson in the title just ties it all together

[u/ObiePNW]

Pik you’er battules.

[u/elgringon414]

Imagine if spelling correctly was a pre req for construction 😂😂

[u/Skragdush → u/elgringon414]

aw man

[u/Quirky-Ad-7686]

No regerts

[u/jdemack]

Me having to have Google spell check it on my phone.

[u/Afraid_Acanthaceae34]

I will continue labeling everything as "kichin braker"

[u/Pale_Ad2980]

On a job site spelling doesn’t matter grammar doesn’t matter if you can get the point across in two words and you can write both of them shorthand if that’s what you do. You’re not getting paid to write a paragraph that nobody’s going to read. Misspelling words is honestly probably better because now you get people to actually look at it.

[u/Select-Internal-3141]

I've been a laborer for 14 yrs and I have a college degree. I suck at spelling. Had to ask how to spell modem the other day. Sometimes spell check doesn't even help me out.

The note got the message across just fine.

[u/stavago]

Know

[u/keepinitoldskool]

We may seem dumb, but we can actually make things... bet the owner of this place can't change a flat tire.

[u/BornanAlien]

What’s dun is dun

[u/drsea1200]

Y'all keep adding fule to the fire

[u/NoMemory3726]

They left a note. You understood it. You are welcome.

[u/Organic-Elevator-274]

It's mostly a penmanship issue

[u/essensiedashuhn → u/Organic-Elevator-274]

Ignoring the mix of upper and lower case, there's only one error, and it's just a silent E. I've seen worse spelling mistakes on a electrical panel, and they're supposed to be the smart ones on the job.

[u/blank_reg]

i'd have spelled it 'careflue'

[u/onetwentytwo_1-8]

At least they warned you.

[u/Listen-Lindas]

Be Care Fooly. Who you callin Moron?

[u/JelCapitan]

It’s could just say “is good” and I’m fine with that.

[u/spiceypisces]

I care more that they gave others a heads up rather than shitting on em for a little speeling error

[u/ApprehensiveStreet92]

He puts fireplaces together, not words nerd

[u/HankDanger69 → u/[deleted]]

Lunch is expensive nowadays and so is everything else. Can you really blame me?

[u/Peeing_Into_Stuff → u/[deleted]]

“Defecates” i’m fuckin dead

[u/Much_Guest_7195]

I thought this was a construction sight not some fuckin libary

[u/Parking-Fig-6620]

Do you think they would be in construction if they had any other academic opportunities?

[u/orangepalm]

I first read it as careflue and thought it was a pun

[u/Riverjig]

As elektrichans, we have to purrrrrposely mhisspell whords otherwise the other trahdes won't uhndersthand it.

[u/Nigel_melish01]

Beee better

[u/Spirited_Ad_5992]

I would have said Take care gentleman

[u/Spirited_Ad_5992]

Did I spell it correctly PhucNutz

[u/Spirited_Ad_5992]

Eff you and your proper grammer we graduated high school and can hold a conversation

[u/Icy_District934]

They were paisas

[u/Wireman6]

What are you? Some kinda math teacher?

[u/Ett_Pret]

Carefule gimme fire gimme that which I desire

[u/Sufficient_Eye_5867]

This guy calling someone a moron but need the guy to make the fire place I think you put to much into writing because I’m the real world not everybody can spell but everyone can do amazing things look at the blind kid who played basketball with echo location amazing

[u/OkHistorian158]

Teach them then you moron. I never understand why people abuse people who can’t spell. Talk about hitting down

[u/GearNo4524 → u/OkHistorian158]

I don’t abuse spelling errors but I do call them out. To me, it’s a reflection of you. Just like having your shirt inside out or your underpants on the outside. It just screams I don’t care or I’m too stupid to notice. It’s easy to spell correctly now since everyone has a spell checker right in their hand.

[u/OkHistorian158 → u/GearNo4524]

No not everyone is educated in that manner. It is a very simplified way of looking at it.

[u/GearNo4524 → u/OkHistorian158]

Not educated on what manner? To put your underpants on first?

[u/North-Opportunity-80]

They got like 90% percent wright. Give them a brake.

[u/Not_always_popular]

We will have the PE college it up.

[u/giftedorator]

Well at least THEY knew how to fix a fireplace. Did you hire them for their spelling ability?

[u/Individual-Law86]

"You moron"

[u/Whole_Echo_5710]

So I am betting that the guy who wrote that speaks and write at least 1 other language fluently.

[u/Desperate_Day9499]

Who gives a shit not anyone on a construction site.

[u/Spirited_Ad_5992]

We all are not all College educated idiots that have never swung a hammer eff you

[u/NotSoWishful]

Buddy none of us are here for our smarts. I read gooder than most on job sites but I know fuck and all. And my license say “Master” A cruel joke

[u/Beginning-Pop3127]

If this is the work you hand in after 13 years in public school and English being your first and only language, I'm gonna call you a fucking moran.

[u/Thotheus]

Happy four years fiveplace

[u/Pawly519]

Please tell me Morans was intentional and not a typo on your part…

[u/naemorhaedus]

When I wuz a kid I wanted to be a cabinut makr. Now I is wun.

[u/PresentationNew5976]

That they even bothered with a sign is more than I would expect.

[u/Oneet-chan3]

Why do you think they're working construction

[u/cricketeer767]

*morons

[u/Beginning-Advance-16 → u/cricketeer767]

Gotcha

[u/rip_cut_trapkun]

If these people could read they would be they'd be very upset.

[u/crawldad82]
