Because I'm a pain in the.....
Gautam started a thread about big blocks of messages. Then a few folk(including myself) put in their .02 about what else irks them. Since that thread has ground to a halt, I am starting my own.
I just want to throw out there for scrutiny the word misuses I've found here at MustangWorks. I really do not intend to pound on any one particular person. I hope I do not offend anyone. But if I do, get over it. Here is what I posted in Gautam's thread your vs you're there vs their vs they're course vs coarse lose vs loose which vs witch break vs brake wait vs weight here vs hear And here(not hear) is what I found a few minutes ago while reading posts here at MW herd vs heard to vs too (two also) waste vs waist pane vs pain buy vs by vs bye Yes, I'm being picky. No, I do not guage someone's IQ by these mistakes. I'm just throwin' fuel on the fire. |
Yeah, and those gross misuses of prepositions are irritating as well. http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...d/rolleyes.gif

all i can say in defense of the errors is tht sometimes you'll (thats correct, is it not?) be typing so fast and just leave out a letter here (did it right again) or there(not bad so far)..doesn't mean your iq is not up to par, just means you don't proof read your (thats like 4 in a row) work when you're (im getting the hang of this) threw (damn i screwed up and i'm almost done)..you can usually tell the "ocassional typo comitting" people from the "really bad writers" people though..eh no big deal..another thing, you can usually tell how old someone is by the way they write (not right)..guess my age and you get a prize

Hey Teal, that was all in one big block. LOL.

ThE onLy Real ***** thAt i got on diS Forem is thAt people Who honestly do knot know from first hand experiance give advice wrong. The worst one is that speed density can not be modified. There are so many, If I don't know first hand I keep my fingers still. Rather than typing an old myth, and steering some one wrong.

Perhaps the most confusing mix up. Even if the people are thinking about it, they could still mix it up. Affect vs Effect Hahahaha! Beat that commonly misused word! http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...rd/biggrin.gif |
Good point, Unit.
Your effect did not affect much, even though you affected to understand how much effect you had on this thread. [This message has been edited by 90LSC (edited 01-05-2001).] [This message has been edited by 90LSC (edited 01-05-2001).] [This message has been edited by 90LSC (edited 01-05-2001).] |
Lets not be too picky guys. I dont want to feel like I'm writing an essay to be graded here every time I post. I never proof read mystuff, and most of the time I'm too lazy to even backspace when I make a mistake.
I feel like its like talking with your friends, you screw things up. (Me & I etc) and who cares. Type fast, get your point across with out being a moron and who cares. I agree with 88workhorse, I hate idiots that think they know what they're talking about give horrible advice and ont know **** ! **** those bastards. http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...rd/biggrin.gif Skyler ------------------ -1989 Saleen Mustang #406- TFS Heads, Edelbrock intake, E-303, 3.73's, 1 5/8 shorty headers, Offroad-Hpipe, 2chamber flows, 36psi FPR, playing with timing still, 70mm tb, 73mm maf, 24lb injectors, K/N, March Crank pulley, MSD6a, 9mm wires and FMS Aluminum driveshaft.

The point of this thread is NOT to pick on anyone, it is NOT to make anyone think they are being graded or evaluated or anything of the sort. I have simply{in fun}tossed out some common misuses that I find amusing.
NoSlow5.0....it wasn't that I had to proof read and edit. I just kept thinking of better phrases. Unit{who has caught the spirit I intended}...how about this-proscribe vs prescribe |

Weather eye right like dis, or I write like this, all I expect from this board is helpful and useful information and advice, regardless if spelling and punctuation are exact and regardless if it is a run-on sentence such as the one I am writing here. So, to reitterate (May the Mustang Gods cast an evil spell on my engine if that is not spelled right) past points, who cares. http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...d/rolleyes.gif

I can see that there are some out there who either cannot or will not see the point of this thread. Too bad. So sad. Bye Bye.
86LX5liter: Thank you, you proved my point. |
my point, i am sure the rest of the board agrees, is who gives a crap how people type? like it was stated a few posts ago, we come here for information, advice, and fun. we don't come here for an english lesson. understand? good.
