Silenced Fred Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 You know, seeing the Gibson Forum, the new Henry J Forum, and stuff like that, with all of the information they require, don't you think they could throw on a 4th grade spelling/grammar test? Seeing some of these posts are a joke! They make Curtis seem like a rocket scientist :- Just sayin' PS, I guess you could say I'm in a pissy mood, I've had a bad day.

Silenced Fred Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I can see typos being acceptable but some people on there need spelchek. Typos, and whatnot, that's normal. When you can't put together a coherent sentence, maybe you should work on that instead of posting on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 "yasterday i played on my guitar in heard burg jerky in my les paul" Things like that make my day. I like the people who post them because it raises my own self-esteem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't get too uptight about spelling/grammar/internet shortcuts like "ur" instead of "your" but I do have to wonder if the folks who mangle the language would manage a Google search if they could at least spell correctly.

Riverside Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 ... I do have to wonder if the folks who mangle the language would manage a Google search if they could at least spell correctly. They can't. That's what forums are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Does anyone else care that the plural of 'Forum' is 'Fora'? 'Forums' is mildly irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Stupid bothers me a lot more than bad spelling - especially now that my IPad auto corrects and randomly spells everything differently anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 See, there you are misspelling things. It's not ipad, it's ipod. Mine's a 2 gigabyte. The guy who sold it to me said it's state of the art. And all this talk about Windows 7. Cripes, my old computer was way up to Windows 98! That's like 91 better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Yeah, not all of us are fortunate enough to be able to find information or interact with a lot of people online in our first languages, so we do what we can with English. I'm sure we're all terribly sorry if that offends anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.....it shouldn't be the Gibson Forums, it should be the Gibson Fora? They should fix their webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do I obsess over the nuances of neutral nouns in Latin. But I usually get things spelt rite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
