Text speak drives me insane. </p> <p>At work I am the go to person for editing papers. I love it, as one of my fantasy careers would be a book editor in NYC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-147381 Fri, 04 May 2012 00:21:11 +0000 owlwho 147381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh, I know I'm guilty of grammar mistakes! My only slight annoyance is when people confuse your you're they their there they're here hear ... and the like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-147377 Fri, 04 May 2012 00:03:26 +0000 HLK208 147377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. I make mistakes mostly because I post from my phone and I can't see my whole message, or sometimes I type fast &amp; don't pay much attention and other times I really do make mistakes without knowing. However, there are few grammatical errors that drive me nuts. When someone tells me their car is "broke", I have to stop them right there and correct them. Someone today commented on my FB and said, "I seen you the other day"...um, what?!? No! You saw me the other day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-147360 Thu, 03 May 2012 23:18:13 +0000 BSB 147360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had the power, I wouldn't correct grammar because I make mistakes, too, and I suck at grammar. (I think I overuse commas. You don't know how many times I go back and edit my post because don't know if I used a comma correctly. Feel free to edit them. ) Also, I know a lot of people post on their phones and it's so much easy to have a typo on the phone. </p> <p>But I would correct excess punctuation. </p> <p>Not really a fan of threads titled 'Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'</p> <p>I think I got the point after the 10th exclamation mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-147329 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:35:26 +0000 mrbee 147329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aunt pol: Spock would be so disappointed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-147328 Thu, 03 May 2012 22:32:09 +0000 aunt pol 147328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol Mr Bee, you had imminently in one of your posts where I believe you meant eminently...

On some other boards (not Hellobee), the typos and lack of punctuation are so flagrant that I have to navigate away from the website because it irks me too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146948 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:24:20 +0000 Minnie_Girl 146948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an editor, so I get to abuse that power all the time! It's glorious. :D </p> <p>Though, if I were monitoring a forum, the task would probably be too overwhelming to tackle. Writing is much more casual on the web. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146865 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:02:20 +0000 mediagirl 146865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee also, fix the darn post title already before I freak out over here! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146849 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:57:35 +0000 MamaMoose 146849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please fix me! I'm often typing on the go and make mistakes I wouldn't normally make. And then I'll go back into the thread later and see my mistake and be horribly embarrassed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146837 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:50:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 146837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Resistance is futile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146832 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:49:21 +0000 Andrea 146832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often type without paying too much attention so I am sure I make a lot of mistakes..... but that doesn't necessarily mean I have bad grammer and bad spelling. Plus, there is also auto-correct! I don't think I really judge what people write on message boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146831 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 146831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The stray apostrophe's (if you know what I mean) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146780 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:31:44 +0000 Rubies 146780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh yeah, you wrote on my wall. But I appreciated it. When it comes to things like that (and having spinach stuck in my teeth, or if my breath stinks, etc.) I would want to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146779 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:31:21 +0000 prettylizy 146779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the culprit of so many of those mistakes! I wouldn't change others posts if I could though. </p> <p>Apologies to everyone who notices my spelling and grammar errors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146772 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:29:00 +0000 mrbee 146772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I think I checked with you first?

I can't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146764 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:26:02 +0000 MsLipGloss 146764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee: LOL - this is quite a spin on *abuse of power*! I don't know if I could resist . . . it's hard enough re-reading a post and realizing I made a mistake and then realizing that the edit feature is no longer available. Doh! &gt;.&lt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146763 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:25:38 +0000 mediagirl 146763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I see obvious issues with grammar or spelling, it is so hard not to say something about it or want to fix it. That being said, I know sometimes I don't think before I type and embarrass myself by typing errors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146759 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:24:02 +0000 Rubies 146759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to correct people's grammar just so that they are not ignorant to their mistake...Not to make them feel bad. But if I had the power, I wouldn't correct it. I would just tell them.</p> <p>Remember when you corrected my spelling mistake of "accommodate"? It was good to know! I stopped spelling it wrong since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146754 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:23:27 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 146754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agh! Yes. I am a super grammar and spelling NERD.<br /> That being said...go ahead and fix my posts, if need be. I'd rather people point out my mistakes than just assume I'm illiterate.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146749 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:22:22 +0000 chopsuey 146749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feel free to fix mine!<br /> And yes. Sometimes I want to edit as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-the-power-to-fix-peoples-typoes-and-grammatical-missed-takes-could-you-resist#post-146747 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:21:52 +0000 mrbee 146747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my greatest struggles on Hellobee is not fixing people's posts. I have an agreement with a few users that I can fix the grammar in their posts. But other than that, I work hard not to abuse my admin powers.</p> <p>Sometimes it's hard though.</p> <p>If you had the power to fix people's typos and grammatical mistakes, could you resist? </p>
