danox's Journal: things that I am sick of reading on slashdot.

Here is a list of things that I am totaly sick of reading on slashdot:

• People bitching about spelling and gramar in slashdot story submisions.
• People posting to correct grammar and spelling in other posts.
• Posts that insinuate that becasue someone made a spelling or grammar mistake in their post, this is somehow a relection of their ability to have valid and usefull opinions.
• People posting about how much slashdot suck, and how the editors are stupid and post stupid news
• "How is this 'news for nerds, stuff that matters'?".
• People bitching about how slashdot is hipocritical becasue one person posts a comment about the latest cool thing from X, when other people have posted comments on the latest bad thing that X has done
• People bitching about how, if windows had (insert bug or hole or something, in linux), then you would all be shouting them down, but when linux does it you all say how great it is . . . .blah blah blah
• People bitching about moderation and how unfair it is. . . mah mah
• Just people bitching in general. So much bitching, repeated so many times, so boring to read. . . .

Theres more, but I have run out of energy to devote to people who annoy me.

I agree with you, however....

Young man, it's easier to read and think about material if you don't have to mentally correct mistakes along the way.

As a full reader I skim right over 99.9% of mistakes in writings.

Spellcheck.net does help improve the overall readability of my postings though. :-D Even if it does not do anything for the grammar, it at least removes the dumber mistakes. That and checking posts on there helps me get through the 2 posts per minute time limit, ugh.

Blackneto responded to a journal entry of mine, so I did a checking of his most recent posts and came across his in your journal, so I responded to it. :-D

Heh hehe. I guess I was asking for that one. I personaly don't notice spelling mistakes very much, so their pretty low on my list of priorities.
