"You need a little care here. Granted, a lot is down to laziness but there are dyslexic people, as has already been pointed out, and people with other difficulties, so don’t be too hasty to judge. " Yeah - I know. The joke was more me inhabiting a character who believed himself to be a good speller, whilst the thread title showed I fell at the first. The joke was awlays on me. | |||

"The room would be full of grammar nazis. Everyone would be too scared to post. I used to care about spelling mistakes as being a former teacher, I notice them all. But people come here with learning difficulties and phones that autocorrect so I give everyone a pass and stopped sweating the small stuff." As a former teacher, what do you do now?

"Some of the smartest people, and the nicest people are dyslexic. And then can also be the most communicative people in person without the pressure of being able to spell. Others like me are simply rubbish at typing and don't proof read. I can think of a few on here that would be judged on their words but are actually really decent people. Creating a room they can never be part of is discrimination isn't it? It's a learning difficulty isn't it? A learning disability doesn't mean a lack of intelligence either so to write someone off on how they type seems not so intelligent to me." I'm pretty sure it was meant to be taken with a pinch of salt | |||

I assumed the identity of someone who thought they were the shit at something, whilst clearly not being the shit at the thing they professed. The "gag" was that person (me) had no idea they were crap at the thing they were telling everyone they were good at (and attempting to put others down in the process of claiming higher abilities). And thus their (my) dickness was revealed in full naked absurdity. | |||

It’s easy to say “the joke was on me” when the OP wasn’t getting the universal acclaim being aimed at. People don’t usually make fun of something they care about. | |||

"In Afrikaans, a "speler" (pron. "spee-el-err") is a "player". So I was very disappointed to discover a thread about grammar Nazis, spelling and off-brand humour. Tut, tut!" It was a reaction to another post about "Forum Rooms", although that information is missing from (most of) this thread (one poster put the two together, and I think sone others "got" the link), so I can't expect most posters to see why I posted originally. I don't know whether that context changes anyone's views, or should change them, and if not, I'll manage the consequences. | |||

If the context of the other "Forum Room" post is viewed and dissected by readers, and I'm presented with things I haven't seen or considered, then specific and targeted "sorrys" would follow. The main problem is this post forms part of a "one-two", but the "one" isn't referenced by me. It's therefore "invisible" to many readers/posters. So if the apologies are due after the "one-two" is absorbed, then I'll answer those cases. I'm also unsure whether I should have referenced the "one" initially - it was understood by at least one early reply, but then this appeared to go in another direction, with or without that context. I think an apology given now, to someone who hasn't seen the overall context, is premature. But they may still have good reasons for apologies, even with that context. That's for them to present me with. I would read further posts on here, and, whilst being canny enough to avoid being the scapegoat for a bad day someone is having anyway, would engage in specifics. | |||

I think I've explained that above, but don't expect anyone to read the whole thread because it's become somewhat unwieldy now. However, as also stated above, I would answer my actions further to those who did so, and presented specific comments around that. | |||

That was what I was trying to say. Who the hell am I (my character in the original post) to pretend I'm so great? And pretend "I'm" better than others? I'm not. No one is. The problem with the world? It's me. It's you. It's everyone. That level of humility is a gateway to a better ethics. And I use high irony to "dig" that in the ribs. Don't ever not make typos. Be you, and keep being a work in progress towards making the world better. And when you see a twat, manage them in their little "twat-box" they've carved for themselves, and hope (and work) towards a world where every generation becomes less twattish than the one before.
