I chuckled at this:

"Well I've gotten chewed a few times on here, actually some within the last few days, because I wanted to ask my bridal party to cover their tattoos and take out facial piercings. I guess I'm rude, since that's what I was told, which I felt was rude to say in the first place."

"@His #1 Lady asking someone to take out they facial piercing isnt wrong to do bec its photos been taking. All they can do is agree or disagree. Some of everyone have tattoos but i understand what u is saying. Its up to your girls to agree or disagree."

I have thought once or twice about getting a WW account for the entertainment value.  But all of this terrible advice aside, I just can't handle the shitty grammar and spelling.  I get that everybody has a typo on the internet now and again.  But many of these commenters seem to be lacking basic writing skills and it makes my skin crawl.

Yeah, there is a huge difference between autocorrect being an ass or having a bunch of typos, and simply not being able to form a coherent sentence.  I don't even really care when people spell stuff wrong, or abbreviate stuff, as long as they can form a sentence around the error.

But shit like the bolded is just too much.  Come on, you really don't fucking know how to say "photos are being taken," or "They will be in photos," what the fuck is "Its photos been taken????"  And fucking up there they're and their is annoying enough (THIS IS GRADE SCHOOL SHIT PEOPLE!!!!!) but now THEY is being thrown into that mix?  What the fuck!!!  How do you even get through life with such an inability to even form simple sentences????  

I judge that shit hardcore.  Again, I'm a total spaz while typing so I totally get having typos and end up with typos all the time.  But at least I know how a fucking sentence works.  When someone writes like that, I disregard what they said, and I don't feel bad about it.   

Verbal and written language is absolutely essential to expressing our thoughts and emotions.  This is how we get those thoughts in our head to be understood by others.  To me, giving no thought to how you use written or spoken language is like using sign language, only you don't really feel like moving your fingers around, that's too much effort.  Just flicking your wrists will do, they'll get what you mean.  Well if you won't give any thought to how you express yourself, I will give no thought to what you are trying to express.

Personally I find your swearing offensive and unnecessary. Why the rampage?

I just stay off WW because it's better for my blood pressure.

cupcait927

My head hurts now from reading all of that.

DaisyMaeMommy

I tried being a voice of reason for some of the ladies who had horrible ideas that were not etiquette appropriate, but I've given up.

I like seeing all the dress posts though, and chatting with a few of the women who actually have their heads screwed on correctly.

All of this- not a typo. Not even close.

I particularly enjoy the comments about how people disagreeing with you is rude. What? So no one can ever disagree with anyone about anything? That makes zero sense.

AzAnnie

The grammar gets on my nerves. You just know that she talks that way in actual conversations and she types how she talks. I have to wonder how people expect to be taken seriously when then they talk like a ghetto gangbanger!

Every time someone asks a question that some find rude/offensive/tacky, OP gets butt-hurt when posters give honest and opinionated answers.

It doesn't take a genius to know that if you don't want to know how rude/offensive/tacky you're being, don't ask internet strangers for their opinion.

Yeah I also can't tell if this is sarcasm or not-- I hope so.

@Haileydancingbear I fully support your grammar rage.  Rage on.

ETA: I particularly agree with the bolded.  Language is how we translate our thoughts and feelings into something that other people can understand.  When you make no effort to be understood correctly by others, I will assume you aren't interested in communicating with me.  And you seem like you haven't really thought out what you are trying to say, so I won't take you seriously.  This is true IRL too-- if you send me an email full of incorrect grammar and you slapdash it together, I'm definitely thinking that whatever you're saying to me isn't that important.

I was an English teacher so I also hate the phrase, "This is the Internet, not your English class!"  Your English teacher taught you communication skill so you could go out into the world and express yourself.

I'm not even clear what she's saying. Should they or should they not have to cover tattoos and take our piercings. I guess...pictures are being taken? And that...means...something. And either people will agree or disagree. Well I guess that's true, usually someone agrees or they disagree.

VulgarGirl

So basically on WW they want to post their terrible ideas and then just have people agree with them? WTF is the point of that? Just agree with yourself and call it a day.

" Some of everyone have tattoos but i understand what u is saying."

Classy all the way, I'm sure. 

cupcait927

It is shocking how many of them are confused by what's etiquette and what's tradition.

DaisyMaeMommy

I keep going back to read the thread, and I can't help but laugh at how entitled and selfish some of these women are! What makes their wedding so much more important than everyone else's??

cupcait927

I have ZERO idea what this person is even trying to say. Punctuation is your friend.

"I didn't read Mrs Emilys etiquette book I prefer Erma Bombeck
There was one post where basically if FH planned wedding what would it be he answered flip flops bbq waterside and beer omg I agree
Look if you're not doing the three F`s with me keep quiet if I ask your opinion I have in my posts that I have answered prefaced my response with " what do you want to see come of this problem, or what would you do differently never will anyone give you the right answer to your question you YOU have to figure that out.
If the opinion helps steer you in the direction you're already going with then its positive if not then it's not worth getting upset about take an opinion with a grain of salt Etiquette is to some important to others not so much it's more common courtesy but y'all flash a etiquette badge at me I will just pull out my salt shaker and take each word with a grain
And remind you that if you aren't doing the three F`s and you have already commented to have a nice day and stop being a bully"

She's the perfect example of why you shouldn't drink and post.

countrygirl061513

That post gave me a headache, and I stopped on page 3. I can't understand what half of them are saying.

VulgarGirl

They keep using hashtags...is that a thing on WW? Of course it's all #preach and #amen.

There's a girl on there, Emily, she's got her shit together. I checked her other posts. She's good people. Of course she's a lone wolf in a sea of crazy.

Roughly translated:

I'm drunk. And high. Basically all the time. I'm not even sure what I'm saying here. Pretty much just typing words. Peace out.

JCbride2015

A few are okay-- I think there's an Erin who gives good advice too.  

I don't know how they stick around.

cupcait927

I have a feeling Emily is probably on TK under another alias. There's no way someone with that much common sense wouldn't be a part of our community. And if she's not, she should be.

cupcait927

Again with the not being able to understand half the damn post but I feel this one may be having a potluck wedding...

What I want to know is, when did this "standard" for how weddings should be became the "standard", and who the hell said it had to be that way! I swear, didn't EVERYONE use to get married in a family member's backyard back in the day? Still looked like a good time to me! I swear, women on here have me second guessing my every move, and really it's all for nothing! Because when I ask the people who really matter, they look really confused as to why I would even care what people on a wedding forum have to say about the way we choose to celebrate our marriage. Still say I'd rather taste your favorite dish at my wedding, than get another toaster, or some dishes. I'll think about you, and our wedding, when I make that recipe again someday. I won't think about you when I eat my dinner off a plate you gave me.

AzAnnie

It cracks me up that these women ask a question and then get butt hurt when everyone doesn't just agree with them and support them in their rudeness. If you ask me a question you will get a honest answer. If you just want someone to agree with you then don't ask a question. Some people just need to put on their big girl panties and suck it up buttercup!

We should convert her to TK.

Take the Blue Pill and you wake up and none of this will have ever happened. But take the Red Pill, and your mind will be opened up to a world of no gaps and properly hosted celebrations.
