In this thread.
Seriously, people?
I know that peevish prescriptivism will likely never be stampt out, but could you at least look in a (free, online) dictionary before you decry a perfectly mainstream usage as ‘wrong’?
I know for a fact you have a web browser and an internet connection. Now all you need is a brain.
Shakester (post 4) and Serenata67 (post 13), I’m looking at you. Fucking morons.

And did you look at the forum descriptions before you put this lame ass crap in the Pit?
Also, it is stamped not “stampt”. Proof your own posts before you post bullshit.
I think you’ve been whooshed. The OP used the archaic past tense form “stampt” as a joking reference to the (still-current) past tense form “spelt” in the linked thread. 
Don’t know what you mean … this is pretty clearly a ‘beef with another poster’.
Another one for the moron team. I know it always sounds lame when someone says this, but whooosh. I mean, Jesus.
Thanks Kimstu! Though I’m not sure if ‘stampt’ ever was in use (and thus archaic), it struck me as amusing and somehow apposite.

I will freely admit when I am a moron and whooshed. But it is still a lame ass pit thread.
Marry, good sir, that it hath been, as thou canst see plainely writ on the Cover of this most godly Booke:
Thanks for apologising, apology accepted.
But I stand by the pit thread: what is the point of general questions if people just wade in with their ill-informed, false, and easily checkable prejudices?

Sweet! My search was cursory, limited to the OED.

I’m just not getting this. It’s an issue with another poster, he wants to call them names (which he can’t do in GQ) and we’ve had untold numbers of grammar/spelling threads here. You know what is lame? Rating the pit-worthiness of a pit thread with nothing else to contribute.
To the OP, far be it from me to cast stones… but then I don’t post with authority either.
I believe the correct spelling is ‘whoosht’.
You beat me to it. I’ll bet that is what he meaned to write.
meant?
Now I’m having a sharp attack of post-edit-window regret. That is SO how I should have spelt it back in post #3.
Well, sometimes you just have to play the game with the cards you are dealed.
dealt?
Here’s a novel idea: How about letting the mods decide what is pit worthy and what is not? And if you do report a post for being inappropriate, let us all know once and for all, and have done with it.
And isn’t it **Ivnt’s **job to threadshit about what is and isn’t worthy of the Pit? That’s fuckt.
Amen to that. GQ is not the place for irrelevant anecdotes and WAGs.
And it’s a better pit thread than yet another interminable “Conservatives! I pit you!” thread full of “liberals” whose talking points are about as well thought out as the position of the rednecks who don’t want none of that commie medicare shit.
Now now, he was just a few minutes late. Must have mislaid his badge.
There was another thread recently seriously asking “Is the use of ‘myself’ ever grammatically correct?.. Is it a real word?”. This is the state of nervous cluelessness (in Pullum’s words) that peevish prescriptivist poppycock has pretty much made the mainstream. Sure, this isn’t news, it happens all the time and we’re all accustomed to it by years of experience, but still… goddamn.

Where are you getting the notion that the query in that thread stemmed from “prescriptivist poppycock”? The OP of that thread asked:
His problem with the use of “myself” evidently wasn’t that it violated grammatical rules, or that a teacher told him not to use it, or anything like that. Rather, he didn’t like it because it sounded awkward and inappropriate to him. How is that prescriptivism’s fault?
