> [@Spud](#): > > Well, life handed me a real life opportunity to test this out. I currently have 7 15 year old freshmen in my basement (they are there voluntarily… one is my son). They wanted pizza and I asked what kind and they ordered two cheese and one supreme. Not a veggie pizza in the bunch. After I picked it up and called them up to “come and get it” I actually asked if anyone wanted a knife and fork… they looked at me like I had a third eye.

Even one who is questionable doesn’t do it either.

Nowadays, usually I don’t make mistakes like those, but in this thread I for a little careless since I was sometimes on my phone in a hurry. Just to let you know how most adults read that sentiment: “I didn’t make mistakes because I’m stupid. I made mistakes because I didn’t supply any effort! So quit criticizing me!” Solution: Just fucking pay attention to what you’re doing. ---

That’s not really fair. I’m a professional writer and editor and a stickler for spelling but autocorrect on my phone trips me up all the time. ---

Alright alright. Fine, I will pay more attention to what I am doing when I am on mobile devices. It is just that sometimes I am in a rush to get things done, so I guess I just won’t post until I get a better time where I can pay attention to what I am writing. ---

Apply that to EVERYTHING you do. Half-assing things is a bad way to go through life. The fact you don’t understand that reflects poorly on you. ---

With all due respect did you read post #190? My own posts will probably show examples of my phone autocorrecting me but it never rearranges the word order or types grammatical gibberish. ---

Eating pizza with a fork and knife doesn’t make you gay. Just a pussy, is all. 😉 ---

Yes, full-assing everything you do REALLY is the way to go. You’ll be amazed at how much free time you have and how rarely people ask you to do things for them.
