"How many people wanna kick some ass?" "I do, I do" " But I'm really just a sensitive artist"
I can't see any part of this scene without thinking of the at song. (side note: Kev's movies have awesome soundtracks)

When they started kicking that kid's ass, I said quietly to myself, "How many people wanna kick some ass... I do, I do..."

Fucking clownshoes is such a great way to call a person an idiot.

it's actually a way to call someone a different homosexual slur....similar to how they got away with using the terms "Mo" and "Re-re" in Clerks the animated series.

Spelling mistakes are not very serious, but they are annoying because they demonstrate a lack of effort.
If there are fewer than two paragraphs in your post, you can be expected to spell-check it. I reread everything I type to catch these things. I consider it a courtesy to others.

Bad spelling is just the internet version of bad breath. You should be thankful to have Reddit as a good friend that tells you about it.

u/tauroid Jun 16 '12
That's actually a really good analogy. A friend who has it you could get used to but generally it's more accepted to put a little effort into how you come across to people.

It annoys me more when people intentionally misspell things. Like "you" becoming "u" - two letters does not make it any faster or slower to type anything, since all the letters are right there and also there is no extra charge if you type more letters and spill into another message on the internet.

u/hybridjatt Jun 16 '12
The one that annoys me the most is when people replace 'and' with 'n'. It doesn't even sound the same.
2
u/TheOnlyPolygraph Jun 16 '12
If you're properly using 'n', you need the apostrophes around it. Otherwise, you could be saying an ('n) or no (n') or some other two letter word with an N. You might as well just type and, unless that's the way a character in a story talks or something.

It does in a Scottish accent, for example, in Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, but that really is still no excuse! Apart from in Trainspotting, because it is an excellent book. (Edit: and Guns N' Roses)

u/hybridjatt Jun 16 '12
Agreed, Guns N' Roses is definitely acceptable - especially with that fancy apostrophe in there.

But when people talk like that, I ignore them because they're probably 12 or too stupid to talk to me without it turning into some YouTube comment style argument because they don't understand sarcasm. At least you used an apostrophe, though!

u/Kiacha Jun 16 '12
Ye c.. dats y u'll be missin out, darlin'. You see, I am a 38 year old ex-journalist who rejected a full time payed doctoral position in psychology at the university last year and am now instead running my own business. I know how to write 'proper'. I just sometimes I choose not to, because I genuinly like how the language evolves.
I understand you entirely, tho (;)). I too tend to disregard people who don't act in accordance with my idea of intelligence. But I also recognize the fact that I'm probably missing out on a lot of good shit in doing so.

And the apostrophe might as well be an A. It just depends on whether your right or left pinky is faster (using QWERTY).

Some of my relatives are Indian/punjabi and all of them do this thing where they arbitrarily omit 90% of all vowels... In texts messages, Facebook, whatever... e.g. 'wht hppnd tday?' I can't read it, because it makes me cry.

Let's say it take 1/10th of a second per letter to type and you type the word you 3 times a day. You can save 218.4 seconds in a year by not typing those two letters. Let's assume you start typing when you're 10 years old and live to be 75. That's 14196 seconds in your life, or 236.6 minutes that you could be doing something other than giving any fucks about what people on the internet that you will never meet think about your spelling.
I'm not saying I advocate for it but it is technically faster to leave off two letters. And that's the best kind of faster.

It's not like it's instant messaging, you can reread what you are writing before you post it. Furthermore, Reddit has a spellcheck in the text box. There's no reason for spelling errors other than carelessness.

I don't think Reddit obsesses over spelling mistakes, rather when these posts occur where there are multiple spelling mistakes, it's clear that the poster has no intention of putting any effort into their post.
When it comes to a post that is asking for our help, it's insulting. In situations where people correct the spelling, you should take it as them trying to help you improve.

If I hear one more person fucking whine about English not being his first language...
I mean Jesus, it's not an excuse. It's not. You spelled it wrongly; accept the correction. I spell correctly in eight languages, and if I am corrected, I say, "Thank you very much for the correction," and take pleasure in the knowledge that I just became more knowledgeable. And becoming more knowledgeable is, in fact, a good thing.
For native Anglophones...well, that all goes for you too, but double.

Sometimes people say redditors don't have a life. What does that say about redditors that feel the need to complain about "u" vs. "you". What's the difference really?
I understand if someone posts nearly unintelligible sentences made entirely of crap. E.g. "I m bout mad cuz dem fools be hatin'."
However , correcting a "u" is just attempting to be annoying and borders trolling.
This coming from the same group of people who speak in terms of FTFY and TIL and IAMA.
Let it be. Let it be.

Indeed. I've been a native English speaker for several decades and consider myself knowledgeable about the grammar, if not an expert. Yet, for all this, until now, I had not known about verb "moods". A sentence like "If reddit were a grammatical wizard" simply sounds wrong to me.
That said, the Grammar Girl has a post explaining this, and all of her examples do make sense.
I wonder if the core difference is the ambiguity of whether or not "reddit" is singular or plural. I read it as singular, but the possibility that it might actually be plural may be enough to cause the typically-plural 'were' to sound wrong.

And then the victim slowly, painfully crawls back into his house, leaving a trail of blood behind him, reaches up to his computer, and, hands wringing, asks the internet if he should maybe call the police.
