PET PEEVE" HOW to spell : S E P A R A T E - Page 7

No need to "keep it up"

I apologize about "do write".  I thought it was appropriate for this thread.

I have no idea who or what is a pod person.

Maybe I am screwed up because I know there is a large amount of people that don't graduate High school.  Maybe I have my standards too high.  Because an individual now needs a Bach degree to pump gas at a full service gas station, I see highly educated as someone who continues through grad school and beyond.  To me a 4 yr degree is educated but not highly educated. 

A-dawg.  Thanks for making my point.

Don.  Everything is relative.  To one such as I who obtained a GED and then one year of college, a college degree is highly educated.  To one who has any college degree, highly educated might be seen as "someone who continues through grad school and beyond".  To Jethro Clampett or a Pod Puppy, a highly educated person might be the one who finished elementary school.

But, what the heck are we talking about anymore.  We have deviated far afield and I am done with it, except to clarify what the "Pod People" are.  They are those three ladies (I use the term very loosely) who I have referred to in the past as being "three pees in the same pod" (yes, I know how to spell peas).  They seemed to like the term and relished it when I used it, so I use it often, instead of naming them individually.  I believe they have invited others into their Pod, for fun and games or whatever.

Anyway, I do agree with you that it is juvenile and uncalled for in most cases, unless you just don't like a particular person and want to jab at them for ANY mistake they might make, even a spelling error.  Or because you are just.....well, I am not even going to go there as it will just snowball into a long drawn out bickering session with the Pod People, who make just as many spelling and grammer errors as most of us do.  Just like you wrote earlier in this thread and the head Pod Person agreed with wholeheartedly: 

"Almost 100% of the people, on this board, make mistakes.  Nobody should be pointing a finger.  Why don' you guys concentrate on dogs and dog training.  When you have perfected training, then you can concentrate on how I spell, aceholes."

I notice none of the Pod People pointed out your error of don'  for the contraction of "do not", but they jump at any mistake I or some others make, pointing them out with pride.  Telling about them isn't it????  Not sure why I put so many question marks there, but it probably has something to do with the way the Pod People sometimes end their sentences. 

DoCrack-The Don is a class act. Never makes himself out to be anyone he's not and actually has invaluable information about dogs and dog breeding. This is why people respect him and will never respect you.

By the way, how's the breeding program going?

A dog.  Thanks for asking.  Six beautiful and energetic pups.  I kept one male and sold the rest and they are doing very well from the new owners reports.

As to your statement about The Don.  Again you are wrong.  You make a habit of it.  He actually told us that he was an 86 year old lady at one point, until I called him on it.  Of course it was all in fun and I laughed, although some of you actually fell for it.

Yes, again I bitch slapped you, or spanked you.  Witch ever term you prefer. (mispelling of "which" intentional in keeping with the theme of this thread thus far).

God, you are such an easy target.  Like I said.  PM me if you want to continue, as this public embarrassment of you and yours, kind of makes me feel bad.

Dawgs:  Ignore him, everybody else does.  he got his ass handed to him so badly he resorted  to hiding behind some of his poorly disguised  aliases.  The funniest part is everyone knew it was the moldy old perv the whole time!!!

Poor old Barney Fife, nothing but a troll desperate for attention. 

funny thing about all of this,,, most of my peeve's have nothing to do with pets.

howw bout,

10-peple who cant take a jok,

9-peple who take everthing to hart,

8-peple who start chit only to start schit. 

7-those that feal they have too xplane themself over and over again, only saying the same thing over and over again

6-crickets that keep me up in the somer,

5-expecting something for nothing when you have been given everything, yes im talking to you paris

3- people who cant keep track of where they were at in a thought

2-those who dont use apostryphise

1-people who have nothing better to do but bitch about someones lack of spelling. grammer, or punctuation,  specially on an open webboard, where most others really dont care.  its the information, fun, or other things we are after.  loose'n up a little. it will be the little things in life that you worry about the most that will send you to an early grave.

PS-- this list is not pointing fingers at anyone.  if you feel it is, smile and forget it, it really dont matter.

john

Very well put John!!! (can't seem to stop myself from using all of those exclamation points. hmmm, must be a mental thing) 

And a personal favorite over-heard at the vet clinic: "Our dog has papers, he aint got that hip dyslexia"

I'm just trying to remember, were both parents coats or just the one?

Enjoy please: The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English" . In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas! If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
