…
Just trying to point out the inaccuracy of using voice to text as an excuse in 2016.
I didn’t mean to insult your phone, sorry if it looked that way.
I have a steno pool of chimps type all my posts.
Maybe we can arrange for iLemming to proofread/edit Nightshadea’s posts!
oh wow after all these years … I do try to use spell check and such but I have a disability that makes typing difficult and it makes trying to express my self even harder
so yeah I do have the occasional post where even I don’t know what I was trying to say when I look at it an half hour later even though I did when I typed it
now for punctuation I admit that’s just me being lazy and the fact that in school they were glad I could print at all so I never got used to using it (the state of ca says I cant legally write )
funny tho in a long deleted thread I was in an argument I kept trying to make a point and I just could and opal not only knew I was trying to say she knew why I was having trouble and sent a nice encouraging note
I posted a thread explaining it but that was years ago…
This is what I came in to say. The following quote from them is indicative of someone with a grade 5 or 6 writing ability:
Not a phone excuse, not a speech-to-text excuse. This is someone with limited literacy skills.
Yeah, let’s pick on the disabled kid. Slow pit day, eh?
lol wish I was a kid heh the things id love to change or redo …I feel old being forty heh
Given the subject matter of the OP’s ire, myriad sacrifices on the altar of the Gaudess are to be expected…
I vote Pit fail. I am willing to make allowances for nightshadea.
The rest of you are just lazy.
That’s “smilies”…
What disability is that?
I get to pick on em tho, right?
Heh. Pick away, Ambi.
I must say, curiosity is all up in the air around here, now.
nightshadea, welcome back to the Dope. I know you were away for a long time. I don’t find your posts too hard to read. I saw the Pit thread, but didn’t feel like joining in on the smackdown. I am willing to make allowances, also.
Is it somehow out of line to ask them about their disability?
Nah. Only if you think you’re entitled to an answer.
Nightshadea all your posts are riddled with mistakes.
EVERY single one? Also, “riddled” is either a noun or an adverb, here it is used as an adjective, which I’m not sure is possible.
*
I won’t link to individual ones, as anybody can do a view posts by nightshadea, pick a post at random, and I guarantee there will be at least 5 mistakes.*
"as anybody can do a view posts" more correctly written as " . . . .as any poster can visit on nightshadea’s profile and click on the ‘View Posts’ hyperlink . . . ."
Nightshadea, you are the worst by far. Almost everyone makes typos but you take the piss. Sort it out.
**From a slang standpoint, aren’t you the one who “takes the piss” out of Nightdshadea?
Lesson learned: if you play Grammar or Spelling Nazi, odds are your posts have errors in them as well.**
It’s possible.
I never claimed to be perfect, and I make my fair share of typos and mistakes. In this case though I don’t think I made any. Doing a “view posts by nightshadea” is informal usage but not really wrong. All your other points are ridiculous.
FTR: There are disabilities out there that make it difficult to type. I suffer from an essential tremor* that causes my hands to shake. I went from being able to type 50+ words a minute as a teenager to doing a two figured chicken peck as an adult.
Sucks.
*My ET is significantly worse than most people who suffer from this condition. In fact, it’s so much worse, I feel like it deserves it’s own classification rather than to be lumped in with the ET crowd. Maybe doctors would take my condition more seriously if that were true.
