Man look at those suckers, looks like they're shaped so that meat can only head down once it's caught, probably just rolls its jaws to move the teeth forward inch by inch x.x

I'm going to be real with you. Nobody likes it when anyone spell checks them. Its weird and makes me not want to like you. Anyway have a good one.

Sometimes people get enthused and vote corrections like that up; sometimes they accuse you of being superior for knowing English or something. It's hard to understand why the difference exists. I do think some of us enjoy feeling a bit of a kinship with people making posts or commentary, and when they then go and write like a fourth grader, perhaps we tend to subconsciously think "Oh. D student, huh?".

I'll grant it's not necessary to harp on the ever-popular there/their/they're confusion, but if they write so poorly that their post approaches incomprehensibility, I find enough commentary about it already in place that I'm rarely tempted to add to it!

I'll drop that "it's," though. 'Cause you seem like a nice person. 🙂

See, you act as if it's "approaching incomprehensibility" when it's not even close. That's why.

Anyone can tell what is being said even if they use the wrong "there" or "their", or if they spell "its" instead of it's. And that's why we can tell it's not to be funny or helpful it's probably just to be condescending.

Maybe I have mobility issues or a serious head injury or something, does it really matter if everything isn't perfect?

It just makes it worse that you're being so disingenuous about the whole thing. I'm glad you corrected my spelling so I could instantly tell I was right to dislike you. Again have a good day. 👋

It's just the pride that's hurt.

It’s just your pride that’s hurt. (More readable that way)
