Why do people feel the need to correct grammar online? Everyone types something wrong sometimes. Who cares?

I don't know about anyone getting worked up really. We just mentioned it as a pet peve. I don't see where anyone really got pissed about it or anything.

Not worked up, and to answer the question, I think most of the time it's more about the "corrector" as opposed to the person being "helped"re_mute wrote:And why get so worked up over people being helpful?hibidy wrote:it has become one of my pet peeves!

I want to apologize, I believe I'm being a hyporcit since I tried to derail exactly what I was trying to prevent in one of my threads. Sorry bout that, I'll try to do better in the future.

When I make errors in posts, please pm me so I can make corrections. I do want to look presentable, but I'd rather not be corrected in a public forum. Even if the corrector does it with good intentions, it's most likely to be taken as a hostile act.
the thing that bothers me the most and is in fact a pet peeve is ppl hu post in long runon unpunctiated mispelted sentenses with no regard for the person trying to read it and then they expect everybody 2 d3cif3r teh crap they say and respond to thme in a civil way thay piss me off they think the r so cul they hev no brain and outhg to be lined up and shot for making me look at the krap the writ i am so pissed off i cant go on you get my poent peace out
Actually, most people for whom English is not their first language post in very understandable and readable English. It's usually the English-only posters, especially Americans, who lack respect for Standard English.
Thanks for letting me rant here, folks.
Looking forward to some real news from the show.

But it has built in features, no where near as powerful as the software you would be using it to control, and with a projected price of 299 - 399, it makes me think its too expensive for what is.
Korg gave up on that MicroControl, and did the Nano Series, and Maudio has that axiom for like 250? WIth keyboard controllers, somebody needs to come up with something a bit more, "star-trek-esque," to get my attention.
There is that company Kyma is working with, they want, $5000? +- a few dollars, for their controllers. Somebody ought to knock off that stuff, and give us controllers like that for 250. The technology is so there. Its not like you would need to invent that.

^ drop dead gorgeous. If I knew how to do any sort of electrical engineering. I'd knock this off, and ruthlessly undercut the price. Infact, rather than giving you all ideas, I should be pitching it to a third world manufacturer.

You're mistaken, Brent. I have nothing against you. That's why I merely pointed out the error. It's Buzz that needs to be spanked every now and then. I remember Buzz wanting to teach me the language of smilies... Anyway, enjoy NAMM, Brent.koolkeys wrote:I didn't get any sleep last night or on either plane.

Then again, Ubiety already has something against me, so it seemed even more useless to me.

New stuff from Plan B
Whatever Ableton are announcing
Some stuff at the Harmon booth
Talking to the guys at Eventide
All the weird shit that will never hit the market
Probably my dignity by Sunday.

Well, it SEEMS you have something against me. If I'm wrong, then my apologies. I'm also quite cranky tonight DUE to a very long day. Times have been stressful the past few weeks as it is. But regardless, I'm over it and will be having the best time possible at NAMM. So thanks, and have a great week!Ubiety wrote:You're mistaken, Brent. I have nothing against you.
