I'd love to be a moderator, just so I could correct peoples grammar mistakes.
I don't mind bad spelling... but bad grammar. urgh. It's just inexcusable really.
Who agrees/disagrees?


Edit: I don't ACTUALLY want to be a moderator. I was just being hypothetical, because the constant misuse of whose/who's/whos they're/their/there is so FRUSTRATING.

I disagree, so basically you want to be a moderator to correct bad grammar? Some people can't help it.

idk...I mean, my English is good but I tend to type really fast, so I'm making mistakes and I'm not really aware of it - even when I proof-read. It is annoying but as Callum said, people can't help it.

Same. I always leave words out as well and then my post just looks confusing. But I never notice until I go back a while later and read it again.

Haha same! Like I just spelt can instead of can't. But this isn't a spelling thread so it doesn't count.

my spelling is bad i rarely use punctuation and i make typos but frankly there is far more important things to worry about in the world than a few mis placed commas etc and like people have said some people cant help it anyway

Personally, yeah I do think bad grammar is annoying but as some people have said, when you type fast it is easy to make mistakes... people cannot help it!

It really annoys me! Especially when people use wrong forms of where/were/wear and their/they're lmao. But I wouldn't say a mod should be created just to correct grammar/spelling mistakes. lol. Some people, as we've said, just can't help it. :/

#If I were a mod...even just for one day..I would correct everyone's mistakes, there'd be nothing that they would get away, with 'cuz I'm a mod.#
Sorry.

While your talking about Mods...

I think it'd be really cool if TiBB held an apprentice (yes, I'm aware there already is one) but where the winner becomes a mod.

Dunno how it'd work but I'd love that.
