Since I have thus qualified, through my higher degree, to correct you, I shall go right ahead.

You mean 'only assholes', not 'only asshole'. You need an 's' at the end. To avoid referential confusion, the 'like yourself' should go after 'assholes', not after 'that'.

'Technically' is spelt how I just spelt it. However, you don't actually mean 'technically correct' - you mean 'politically correct'.

Because 'incorrect' begins with a vowel, it should be preceded by 'an', not 'a'.

And it should be 'the mentally handicapped', not 'the mentally handicap'. However, if you wish to be politically correct, you would actually not use that term either - it's highly outdated and considered offensive.

Glad to be of service with my all-important masters degree, yo! ;D

Ooh - I have both a BA and a masters degree in English, yo! Do I thus qualify to correct your grammar? The fifth word in your first sentence should be 'you're', not 'your'. I am glad to see you're starting to self-correct, and you saw your 'captin' mistake! Jolly good, yo! No detention for you!

Lol. Anyone with a high school education should know the difference between you're and your. And I'm pretty sure most junior school teachers don't have an English masters, yet they probably correct that one all the time.

All the loldrama aside, it would be an easy feature to add. I'd have to check with Steve first though, as this suggested feature might have the potential for abuse.

p.s. Knock it off children, before I send you to your rooms. :P

Maybe it could be just a feature for BloopXtra members, so something like that.

Clearly not...I think it's one of those things where someone needs to be a hater at all times. Misery loves company and all that shit.

Yeah, it's an asshole thing to do. People who do stuff like that obviously hate themselves so they feel the need to put others down to make themselves feel better.

It has nothing to do with putting people down, if that's seriously how you're looking at it.

All Lady Acid Fairy did was point out an incorrect apostrophe, which the OP seems to be grateful she did.
You getting mad was just an amazing bonus. :)

I'm curious about something .love.struck. since when is correcting grammar an insult?.
You're the one that's putting people down because someone just pointed out a simple mistake and like the previous commenter - the person who started this forum was grateful..

Please get off your horse before you hurt yourself.

Did it occur to you they probably do it for the reaction? Which you so willingly oblige in giving to them! Which then makes it even more fun for them?

Not that I'm complaining, I'm quite amused that your instant reaction is the fun high school retaliation type!
