I am not saying its malicious just counterproductive to point out people's grammatical/spelling mistakes away from a professional environment. I dont think people view it as constructive and all it does is get discussions bogged down in semantics. There are studies about people who become frustrated about grammatical errors and those who look past them. It makes for interesting reading.Hi B Bongo I get what you are saying, but I also get whereHuge is coming from too
You may notice I correct poster grammar too (sometimes) and it is precisely because I am horrified at the state of written communication these days, which has come about from 'letting it slide'
As we continue to turn a blind eye, it can only get worse
I don't correct people to make them feel bad, but to point out the mistakes so they are not made again - perhaps not important here, but if those same mistakes are made on job applications these poor folk are no chance
Did up a team list and misspelled just one players name. Instead of discussing the merits of the team, a page of replies was dedicated to saying 'how a fan like me could not even know the name of the players'. Some on here can be real arseholes, esp the senior posters
Spelling has never been a measure of passion for rugby league to my knowledge. Must have been a pretty decent team if the spelling was all that was faulted. I can't say the same about teams I have posted.Did up a team list and misspelled just one players name.

I assume you don’t correct people on their use of full-stops...Hi B Bongo I get what you are saying, but I also get where

Yes Pretty sure Jimmy and Birdy will be floating around both sides of the field anyway. I think most of our attack will come off the back of supporting our forwards
lol Morkel.

Wow, I thought I wrote the above. As you practice so you perform. I taught my son the value of writing as well as he was able. If an employer had a choice between two equally qualified candidates and one had vastly superior writing skills to the other then in all likelihood the former would get the job.Hi B Bongo I get what you are saying, but I also get where

Oh, he was alleging Boyd was the captain? Ffs, for all and sundry I didn't point out a spelling mistake. I pointed out that Boyd was the captain, he is not a supposed captain. What a kerfuffle!! My main point though was it isn't necessary to be derisive in every single post that involves Boyd. SF has made his dislike known, hundreds of times and I guess I was tired of it.Well na.. he said supposed captain..
Definition of SUPPOSED
pretended; alleged; held as an opinion : believed; also : mistakenly believed : imagined… See the full definition
Please see definition 1.b
Alleged.
He is the supposed captain. The role of a captain is defined and expected to:
The 3 C’s of Being a Captain | Association for Applied Sport Psychology
The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) is the leading organization for sport psychology consultants and professionalsappliedsportpsych.org
Google top definition: Being named a team captain is quite the honor. The position of captain is given to those athletes whom the rest of the team respect and trust to lead the team in the right direction. ... Captains are expected to perform in the clutch and lead the team to victory.
I believe he has failed these duties as a captain and has therefore not inherited the essence of a true leader or captain.
So the original post to me was correct
They were implying Boyd is nothing of a captain and therefore the word supposed was in context and correct.
Ha ha, Kelsey Grammer mistakes?
God damn it! Sausage fingers it tell you!
I don't care about 99% of the spelling errors on here to be honest. There's dozens every day. Spelling really isn't that big of a deal. The complete absence of punctuation is infuriating at times. Using what's sometimes called a 'big word' incorrectly is worth correcting though as quite often a poster will use it without having a clue or thinking it means something else entirely. We all make spelling mistakes and quite often in my case it's because of fat fingers or not having my glasses handy. I thought you did the grammer thing on purpose like I just did
Or commas, or overly long sentences. Or just difficult to read paragraphs in general. Dude, I don't mean to offend, but your grammar is not at a level that you should be correcting other people's.I assume you don’t correct people on their use of full-stops...
