Why is PROOFREADING a pain in the ass?

[VaticanAssassin]

I don't do business with people who have sloppy habits.

As you could not afford me, it is irrelevant.

I am paid for numbers...not words. As I doubt there is someone here that could correct, much less understand my math, I am not terribly concerned.

Not only could I afford you, junior, I could buy you.

Quick test. You work. I don't need to. Carry on, sport.

If proofreading hurts your ass, I think you're doing it very, very wrong!

So no butt editing?

I was proofreading your post and I think you left out an I in your first question.
Basically it is a way to prove to yourself and others that for the most part people don't know what they are talking about. For the pain in the ass I suggest Preperation H.

There is no I in team.

Good tip.

Polar Bears like ice fishing much like some men like to give oral sex. They get to play in a hole and get a taste of what they desire.

But do they use a fishing pole?

He's cute.

You should try proof reading my stuff.

Why do people care about typos if the still understand the message?

I have, you don't pay me enough.

Because even without typos some messages are hard to understand.

Spelling words correctly is an indication of your character and intelligence.

I thought politics was the barometer, my bad.

You're for sale?

I got $ 30 and a fresh beef pot pie I made.

I need yard work done and a lose board on my porch that needs fixing.

If it was a chicken pot pie I would consider.....

Give me an hour and you'll have your chicken pot pie.

Hold the carrots...add mushrooms.

MMMMmmmm. Fuck. Now I am hungry.

Is there any other way?

Then get to mowing my lawn and fixing my porch.

I'm with you about typos!

You slut bird you!

Then why did you spell everything correctly? How would you feel about typos in your tax return? Or in an agreement of sale on your home? Typos are sloppy and lazy.

 

[butters]

for some of us, a typo is like a stab in the eye.

that's not to say we don't make them ourselves - i'm a bugger for hitting 'submit reply' at exactly the same moment i spot the error - and a swift edit makes things right.

editing for others is easier than for yourself, parrottyburd, though i expect you are quite aware of that already. when proofreading our own stuff, the brain tends to read what we expect to be there, what we meant to type. we trick ourselves quite neatly

Like you would have a choice after I was finished!

Well I do proofread before I post but sometimes I miss one. I wouldn't like it. Good point. I was just talking more about social talking like on lit.

Do you see the difference between your examples and a political forum or Text to a friend?

The thing I get frustrated with is when you see you messed up on the title of your thread and there is nothing you can do about it.

You just want to pluck my feathers.

No I do not. Just like I don't see a difference between honesty in business and honesty in private life. You either care about accuracy or not. If that seems inflexible, so be it.

They let me edit my thread titles because I'm special.
