Therefore, you must retract your previous statement and rephrase so that it is pleasing to my ears"

At that point my friend, I b!tchslap the beer out of your hand and say "whaddafuq u talkin bout willis?"


Please people, put the umbrella back in the drink, set it on the bar, step back and reevaluate the manliness of your foofoodom....
I correct my friends all the time.

I could give two ****s if someone post on their phone or not but what burns me is when I post something in-depth and technical with several links/pictures to support what I am saying and to help educate people and then someone makes a comment asking a dumbazz question that the info I provided clearly already answered or showed . I have started assuming they must be reading it on a tiny phone screen and un-able to see the whole thing (that's how my phone is-I can read post on threads but cannot open links or see pics) ,if that's NOT the case they are just too lazy to actually click on a link and see specific info, if it is the case they need to go to a REAL computer and actually take a look at ALL the info provided instead of asking redundant BS questions, I post less and less in the technical stuff because of this, Smitty

DId you read what you just typed? I guess the alternative is to be punctually correct, but a failure in business. lol


BTW, I could actually care less if it's correct or not

Yes I am that guy.

Maybe it is because of a troubled childhood. I had my mouth washed out with soap for not speaking proper English. The one and only time I said ain't I recieved a swift backhand with my mom's ring hand.
Don't get me started on etiquette. Wear a hat in my house and it becomes mine. Better remember to NOT place your elbows on my table while eating.

I am an *******...
