1st Trimester

venting....

so i thought this might be a good place to get advice from other moms w no judgments... while i have been on here reading things that other have posted i have noticed some pretty harsh comments about spelling, punctuation ex... what do those things have to do with anything ??? if some one is on here and has a concern about somethings should that not be the main topic u comment on ... im thinking about leaving this page because i cant stand it when there is a recourse like this and people are being rude to others for no reason other than they just dont like how its worded or spelled or what ever .. ok end of rant lol hope every one is having a good night :0

  • I roll with the punches, you have to understand everyone here is hormonal.

    Some are going to be mean and some nice, i've just learned not to get too serious with this site because in the end it's me and my family that really needs my attention C:

    I agree and would have assumed that as women, we would be supporting one another.

  • It's not that people are being rude about it. Clearly that's the way you are reading it, but then again, text is open to interpretation when it comes to tone. 

    The reason it bothers people, is because it's awfully hard to read and comprehend a post when there is limited or incorrect punctuation, and poor spelling or grammar. Also, walls of text are so overbearing on a thread/message board. A separation of thoughts goes a long way with reading comprehension.

    The easier you make yourself understood, the less confusion there will be when answering/giving advice.

    LOL--interesting logic there.

    What a horrible thing to say. Just because I enjoy not being assaulted by bad spelling, grammar, and inappropriate punctuation by other educated adults, does NOT mean my children will suffer any such fate.

    It's always interesting to me that people try and make their point about people being mean by saying something equally as unkind. Some people are unkind on here, I ignore those posts and move on.....

  • Couldn't agree more. We should support others, not pick on them. We all know this is a stressful time. Apparently some women are bored or don't have anyone else around to lash out at.

    To be honest- I'm surprised at how many people don't have spell-check on their internet browsers or phones.  OP, it would only take a second to re-read your post to check for simple typos.  I'm sure I make grammar and proper punctuation mistakes all.the.time., but at least my browser points out my stupid typos.
     

    i agree but some of us just don't think about it . i make mistakes all the time and have seen where i have while talking on here .. i look at it as getting carried away when typing i do it all the time .. and have noticed where i have skipped words even just talking on this post . it happens  lol  

  • also im more on the high rick boards  any way was just on here looking around for more positive things people are saying about there pregnancy ... no  big deal it was just me venting about things i was seeing in a few posts i have read .. and felt bad for the girls who had some not so nice things being said to them out in the open ..
  • it makes it REALLY hard to understand when people write in "text speak" or have horrible grammar and spelling. If I have to think more about *understanding* what the post meant than I did an answer to the question... that's a problem

    Its only if a post is HORRIBLE that we comment.

     

     But, its the internet. good luck finding a place without grammar-nazis. and if you're "thinking about leaving this page" then go right ahead.

  • I guess my point was lost in translation and I apologize for the unnecessary ending to my comment. We often learn lessons about life through our children because we are faced with challenges that make us take a closer look at what's most important.

  • I am not on here much, but I was on the Knot- the sister site and some girls were pretty brutal on there and rude. I try my best to be punctual but I mess up some times. I do not point out when other girls make mistakes with spelling or punctuation because it does not bother me that much.

     Some people though can be pretty hard to understand when the whole post is clumped together or  completely misspelled. If it is that bad I just skip the post.

    I think you just have to be open minded and try to not take it personally.

    Ok, I tried to bite my tongue, but I just can't. Punctual means being on time to things, it has nothing to do with punctuation. Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but I know I've used words wrong or mispronounced them before and would have wanted someone to tell me.

    Yes

    Like PPs have said, it makes it super hard to understand a post if it's full of typos and spelling errors. I don't want to have to decipher your message just to figure out what your question is. It seriously takes two seconds to read back through your post and check that it makes sense.
