Grammar is not our problem on this board

AnonymousAnnie

The problem on this board is that people are becoming extremely arrogant.  In real life, you have to bite your tongue at times. I’m sure you wouldn’t correct the grammar on a note that was given to you by a student’s parent or to a client during a business meeting. What happened to the golden rule? Treat people the same way you would want to be treated. It’s really that simple!

Why would you create a new screen name to say this? FFS!!!!

LiveLaughLove04

Really?

Megbo2012

I would rather it be pointed out to me so I could avoid making that mistake again.

Is this real life?

Seriously. I cannot get over this board right now. I just have to laugh. People are going CRAZY!!!!

It's not about the grammar. It's about the way people have been speaking to others.

Megbo2012

I promise you that this post is not going to help.

I don't really understand why people keep making fake profiles. 

Why can't we all just call each other out like mature adults and move on?

Megbo and I got into a short spurt and guess what, I moved on! No fake profile, no tears, no pain. But here again, this too shall pass.

I correct people all the time. I don't do it in an arrogant way, I do it in an "OBTW, it's x not y" with a smile.

People correct me when I make mistakes - it's how ya LEARN.

My guess is that everyone is so close to their weddings now that they come on here to let off steam? That's the only semirational/dumb explanation I can think of.

They probably want to elope. Obviously we've all gone bananas. Too much stress!

I asked FI last night while DIYing my centerpieces why we didn't elope. Hindsight.

And excuse me for not taking someone seriously who is too much of a wimp to say something under their real name.

Well isn't this special. It might mean more if it came from your real profile. Maybe.

I do correct grammar in my real life. People normally thank me as I thank them when I make a mistake. I'm actually that person that will take a pen and correct grammar or spelling on a sign hanging in the break room at work. You're welcome.

DrPB2b13

You're right, grammar isn't the problem....anymore.  The real problem is people who passive-aggressively start arguments by posting under fake names and getting all haughty when others disagree. 

Y'all, I'm going to propose this again:  Don't feed the troll.

brittneyh4

Peachy, we actually had plans to elope but then FMIL and FGMIL found out (?!) and they flipped out. I decided it wasn't worth it.

Urchin9

Well this place has officially gone to hell in a hand basket...Although I do agree with the mystery OP, I'm done here.

Good luck to all you gals on your big days!

Nshivers

This is getting ridiculous.  If you type/speak in bad grammar, or just don't give a flying flip that's your prerogative.  If you're someone who corrects grammar, that's your prerogative as well!

Either party shouldn't take offense.  We're all in the same boat, we're all within 6 weeks of the most important day of our lives (up to this point)!  Please, please, please let's all just get along.  This should be the last place we come and bicker at each other.  When I joined this board, I saw it as a place to come to vent/for support/for ideas..  not this.  Let's let this be the last topic on this issue.

Would you correct the grammar or spelling on a note given to you by a student's parent?  I highily doubt that you would, more than likely you would just disregard the grammatical error and respond accordingly.

LindzMarie19

Geez guys! lol    Everyone should remember this saying;   " Like water off a duck's back"  Meaning if  someone says something that pisses you off or someone/ something is aggrivating  you just let it roll; do not let it get under your skin. Unless it is really offensive, like a racial slur, I would just let it go. It makes life much happier!  Grammar or correcting grammar is not something that everyone needs to argue about. If grammar needs to be corrected, just let them correct it, then just ignor it if it bothers you. We're almost here guys, not too much longer til the stress is over!

Yes, it's the internet. Does that mean that you have the right to disrespectfully speak to other people? Are we only allowed to have an opinion if it's the same as yours? That's how it seems. Very seldom do you agree to disagree with someone outside of "the circle."

Okay ladies,

  Let's stop all the arguing and get back to focusing on the wedding planning. Yes, grammar is important, and yes, we do correct grammar and language mistakes, but that is why we always suggest lurking first.  Now, let's get back to wedding planning.
