Snappy comebacks -or- What I should have said was......
NO, I DON'T WANT TO PHRASE THAT AS A QUESTION!
The Scenario: You've just made a great post on the topic at hand. You've given all sorts of good information based on your experience and research. By golly, it's a really helpful post!
Some nitwit's only comment is that you misspelled or misused a word. Of all the.....
Here's your chance. Get it out. What would you say to that good-for-nothing dweeb that ignored all your good information because s/he had to play GRAMMAR POLICE!
RULES:
No using @names; this is general and not targeted to any individual
Keep it clean - PG-13
The best digs are those without name calling, IMHO
GO!
Seriously? You chimed in just to point that out?
EDIT: That is not a response to TT, but an answer. :)
Piece of cake. I will just use my new favorite word, Pedanticist.
From your friendly Pedanticist (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pedanticist).
Best part about the definition? In the very first sentence, there's an error. I can't decide whether it's deliberate, or accidental, but it made me laugh either way.
"Pedanticism is a practised by people so focused on errors that they sometimes end up missing the errors of their own."
:-D
So sorry & embarrassed about the misspell, typo, use of the wrong word. My brain has short-circuited and is not communicating w/my fingers. I'll try to do better in the future. Forgive, please?
Aside to @shrdlu: LOL at myself because I thought "practised" was misspelled. Found that it's spelled both ways. The other being "practiced." (My spell-checker does not recognize practised, yet the online Sage Dictionary does.)
Is that the best you can do? Bless your heart...
Anything I can possibly use Bob for, I copy/paste. Levity oft removes the wind from frustrated would-be educators' sails.

"That's all you have to contribute? Was the actual content of my post so far beyond your level of comprehension that you can't comment on it?"
(Okay. That's actually what I mutter to myself but never really use in a reply. I play nicer on the 'net than I am in real life.)
@adadavis: I don't really see a problem with your comment. :)
My usual reply is to tahnk thme whti as many splelling and grammitical errors as they're reply warrents. Cause that how I roll. :)
the best response is to use your powers as a forum moderator to edit your original post (and any subsequent posts that quote you) to make it look like the original post has no grammatical errors and the grammar police officer was high on goofballs.
... right, @dontwantaname?
Irregardlessly, my point is still valid.
Less than an orthinologist, more of a word botcher.

@daveinsocal: "Irregardlessly" makes me want to throw kittens.. irl
@devexityspace: It's the grammatical equivalent of murdering a grammar policeman.
@daveinsocal: I could live with that. Literally.
I hate to defend the GP as I am horrible at speling and sometimes I don't make words good, but I do try else ud c me tel u bout stuf like this. I spell so bad I need to google some of the words I use as the spell checker says to me, what are you kidding?
