Time to re-learn your possessives there, chief.

| Jul 23, 2011 at 14:41 | comment | added | Nixphoe | The irony of you calling other people editing your posts passive aggressive is hilarious, in the context of this meta question. It's already been said that these kinds of editing are improving the site. That is what you are getting all the negative feedback from. And I mean no disrespect to you, but you're coming off quite pompous and that is where the irony comes from. This post should probably be flagged as off topic and moved to english.stackexchange.com. | |

| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:16 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | The problem I have is that it's not just that you don't appreciate the efforts of those who choose to use their own time to address your unprofessionalism but that you thought it wise to come here to question and deride their efforts while trying to justify your own laziness or lack of care. Basically you're putting down those that add to the site, and that's counter to the site's beliefs. | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:09 | comment | added | anastrophe | Your relentless rudeness in your posts is pretty overwhelming. I wonder which is the greater problem here. | |

| Jul 23, 2011 at 8:55 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | See that's the problem, you "think it's a mischaracterization to refer to it as 'poor grammar'", others know it's not and choose to spend their time fixing your problem. This site is for professionals and while we don't all write every post perfectly we also don't whine about it if someone fixes our problems. | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 8:45 | comment | added | anastrophe | While capitalization is a part of grammar, I personally think it's a mischaracterization to refer to it as 'poor grammar', and certainly less egregious than mangling syntax, bad spelling, etc. - the inclusion of those would certainly cast doubt on the accuracy of a document - lack of caps in a personal meta comment, no. And I certainly think it's rather silly to fix the caps in this self-same meta post, as it renders it...well, completely bizarro. So, perhaps for the next reader, I'll note here that the original post was written as I characterized it, lacking caps. Sheez. | |
