I'm talking more about common sense or common knowledge questions such as "How do I do this on this site?" or "Why is this happening when I do this bla bla bla?"

Questions that there are only one answer for. I understand sometimes two people post at once or some people posting don't read what others have written but it seems more widespread than those occurrences.

although all answers may be nearly identical...each of us only answers ONCE. You, however, are reading the same answer over and over again. Now just WHO is really lacking in common sense? Hmmmmmm?

Well I have to read it to discover if it is the same answer don't I??? If I'm answering (which I often don't bother with anymore for certain styles of thread) I need to know what I'm saying is unmentioned as of yet.

Although I know some members have this amazing ability to read what isn't written.

You have to remember Holly has bumped her noggin' .....I said, "HOLLY HAS BUMPED HER NOGGIN'!"

If you read that last part of my post you are an idiot. It was damn near identical to the first!

You dumb cunts!

In truth I only read the other answers to see if someone gives the wrong answer on purpose because that is how I define entertainment, unfortunately.

At the moment the street happens to be Broadway. In an area noted for a large gay population.


I know that street. But I'd place my bets on Halsted's entertainment instead.

Hello Folks,

In having a conversation with a friend, we were talk about grammar, spelling, etc.  In reading a post, what irks you the most, a spelling error done on purpose, ie, "prolly";  Prolly.

What word always sticks out for you? The ones misspelled.

How does a person's use of grammar and spelling affect your view of the person, and the post?  Tremendously.

Or does it?  Prolly.

I was told once long ago, all we have are words on the net, so it's important to attempt to try to get it right. (That was Chaucer wasn't it?

I'm curious if I am the only person that gets irked when reading posts. Prolly.

Elizabeth
