Blogger rage....

So I read a blog post about using text talk and some other stuff. I left a comment mostly on the other stuff and accidentally used the wrong lose/loose. So most people turned the text talk angst into general spelling and grammar angst and one in particular left this comment...

"My biggest nailbiting words are LOSE and LOOSE. It drives me batty when someone writes, "I need to loose weight." I could scream and I see it at least once a day when reading blogs online. In fact, I've seen it VERY recently...that's all I'm going to say...."

Sooo, I was tempted to write a really grammatically incorrect comment on the same post for her to read but I don't like hijacking other peoples blogs.

I thought of emailing her direct and leaving a polite note on etiquette and how petty her comment was. Alas, no link from her comment. Then when I decided that there was nothing I could do that wouldn't lower me to her level I started thinking of all the really great things I could do...

• Find her blog, search through for the post she wrote really late at night and didn't check through very well and go through it with a fine tooth comb marking all mistakes in red and email it back to her.
• Send her a scathing email about her comment being rich coming from someone living in the country that has butchered the English language more than any other. (sorry, I love you all but really...)
• Find her blog and leave heaps of dodgily spelt and grammatically incorrect comments.
• hmmm... still thinking.

So, that was my vent for today. I've been cooped up inside for too long and I'm going crazy. I would never actually do any of these things, not even the passive ones, it just made me cranky. Make the comment about what drives you nuts sure, but don't point out a specific incident in another comment.

Have you ever flamed anyone? Have you really wanted to? Really, never?

Disclaimer: I don't have great spelling or grammar (which you have probably noticed) but it seems I do know more than most my age (sad really). I just get so cranky when a Spelling Nazi has to get on their high horse and belittle others over a mistake, just a mistake caused by commenting and cooking dinner at the same time. To her I say SORRY, I am sorry I offended you so greatly by my mistake, I shall be more careful in the future. Not that she reads this blog.
