[quote=Dafat-MKII][quote=Dafat-MKII]if they deserve to be bashed.

If they deserve to be bashed. You forgot your capital letter at the start of your sentence.

That's how anal some people can be if you offened them in anyway on this forum. I just facepalm when I see them people because at the end of the day it is very stupid really.

Before you complain I know you said it in mid sentence during your original post, I am just making an example.

LOL /facepalm.

When someone desperately tries to be right, and still fails.
Paraphrasing is paraphrasing.
As far as I know, no one other than you has gone "anal" over this type of "error" on the forums.
A lack of ellipsis or capital letters is not as bad as talking in engrish.
No one's saying that their grammar is perfect...just saying that their's is a bit better than yours.

Thanks, the-burden. My days have been lacking facepalms as of late...till you came back =)

Another facepalm inducing occurrence (apart from this) that I could add to my list is when anime adaptations ignore certain key features of the universe they're adapting from. Take the recent Wolverine anime adaptation for example. Wolverine's adamantium claws were pretty much treated like it wasn't able to cut through other metals easily.

"Your claws won't be able to cut through this reinforced steel..."

Case in point.[/quote]

How can I put this lightly? You're an annoying cunt who has an answer for everything. 😀 [/quote]
Lmao!! 🤣 🤣

Today my teacher was dictating and she pronounced mundane, moondane

You're an annoying c**t

Look at your nose.

I once had this friend on facebook who was a dumb otaku. He was trying to make a sogeking costume and was asking around where to buy a cape.
Then one day he updated his status with:

Someone on the forums said that I could make a cape out of a piece of cloth

Facepalmed so hard it left a mark.

Actually I was only correcting your quote, not your original sentence. But even so, some people are just to up tight about these things. I find that as long as I can read it then it is fine. In actual fact, the majority of the people on this forum who talk about bad grammer make gramatical errors themselves.

It should be, properly speaking, "too uptight," "grammar," and "grammatical." Yes, I am uptight. You should also avoid starting a paragraph with "actually" and following it with "in actual fact." The latter even sounds awful on its own, but it's worse when used in succession. Just lazy writing, really.

I also believe that a quoted portion of a sentence does not necessarily need to be subjected to grammatical adjustment. Ellipses would certainly be an appropriate solution, but with the quote box it's probably not necessary, because it's providing a copy of the original image... hmm...

@blak: I was going to make a joke about your legitimacy being challenged, but as this conversation is essentially relevant...

Get back on topic.

I think the above exchange is quite relevant to the topic.

If it is, I don't see it...

Well, if you think about it blak... their whole conversation is a facepalm moment for most that are reading it and not taking sides, because neither of the two can let things go (a troll and someone fighting with a troll).

Then, each person that is talking can't understand what the other is saying; so, they facepalm when the other posts and vise versa.

I lol'd. Cause I did exactly that.

Anyways, I'm locking this annoying topic.
Now you all have reason to facepalm.
