Annoying stuff YOU do on forums

[thingymuwatsit]

-misuse its and it's
-never read the original post on a forum, therefore posting what was first said
-endlessly rant over things that seem interesting to you
add some more things that people on forums do to (or accidentally) annoy you.

I don't use it's because it looks wrong to me, I believe its a regional thing as well. (even though its perfect logic to use it's for expressing "it is")

actually, its the other way around: "it's" presents ownership; "its" is the compound word.

Oh, I see...

Edit: And thanks, its nice to actually learn stuff while on the forums.

Please don't present statement as fact when you are blatantly wrong.
I'm not a Grammar Nazi but when you're outright saying you're right and you're not I will call you out on it.

I constantly go back and change my posts.

I never word my posts correctly the first time.

I am often unsatisfied with my initial post and change it multiple times.

I usually come up with something better after I've already made the post that's completely different.

Nothing, my posts are art.

This sums up my feelings towards my own posts quite well.

Other than that, I disappear from the forums for long periods of time, and oftentimes feel like I maintain too much contact with people through PMs during my absence.

I joined a whole bunch of usergroups that I never even look at, and rarely look at the quotes and group notifications I get. I'm currently at 2277 unread messages.

I quote unnecessarily

 

[Asehujiko]

I have an unpopular opinion on copyright issues. That is apparently enough to get me accused of trolling here.

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

I can come across as a bit of a dick.
I also try and be humourous too often.

Same.

I also get easily distracted by extraneous det - oh wait, was that a shiny thing?

 

[Darkgoosey666]

i dont know how to post stuff in spoilers, or how to embed youtube videos.

and i cant find anywhere that tells you too.

Like this:
[ spoiler=Description of spoiler]Spoiler text goes here[/spoiler]
Only without the space after the first square bracket it looks like this:

Spoiler: Description of spoiler

Spoiler text goes here

To embed a youtube link, say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14
Type [ youtube=(whatever comes after the equals in the link)]
Like so:
Quote me to see it exactly if I'm not being clear...

Spoiler: random spoiler

Please work

yay it worked! thanks a lot.

I was judging by the AUSTRALIAN standard, besides I'm not part of the Internet Police, but Wikipedia is the least reliable source of information on the internet. (besides 4chan)
If you want further proof, think back to grade 2 when you learnt that about apostrophes!

Better? [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/its] I never said wikidia was reliable, but just about every definition of "its" uses it for possessive. And it's an exception, English is full of them.
I'm still right.

 

[Urgh76]

I generally post stuff aimed at what I want to say, without the slightest thought of that someone might want to read it. Often resulting in walls of text or just uninteresting posts. This isn't really annoying for other people since they just skip past it. But it is annoying for me since I don't get any replies

And what else is annoying is your avatar making me Lose The Game!!!!

 

[thingymuwatsit]

Are you American, because those are the adapted English definitions.

What? You're not even making any sense. I can see no evidence telling me that rule is reversed anywhere in the English speaking world. Some proof would be nice, thanks.

 

[Jerious1154]

I embed Youtube videos in threads that don't really call for them, and I try to be funny.

Also, I sometimes won't even post my own opinion in a thread, I'll just scroll through until I find someone I disagree with so that I can argue with them.

 

[imnot]

im really bad at grammer.
