Who's Norm?

OH no it's the typo police.. Happy?

Typically names are capitalized. Besides, who's Tuner?

Dude!!! What's your deal?

Capitalization Bro, capitalization.

If you don't like how i type, Don't read it then

Completely beside the point.

What's the point then? Just trying to be a ass? If you don't like how i type just don't read it thanks.

I'm trying to figure who all is taking all this seriously. For me I'm curious about seeing norm from the show Cheers running an NFL offense. :)

Wasn't Sam from Cheers a College QB? So many potential solutions in one sitcom!

Edit: Forget it, he was a pro-baseball player.

I feel obliged to point out that neither So, nor Everything should have been capitalized, while the name Turner should have in you prior post. Also, in this usage Buttercup is one word and being you're using it as a name, it too should be capitalized.

Don't give up, I have faith in you!

No experience seems more common in social media practice than having one's grammar corrected. The Grammar Bullies hide and then pounce on any typographical misstep or the your/you're mix-up faster than you can click "submit."

Reasons exist for such rude behavior. Slate attempted to explain the phenomenon, but if your gut instincts have told you some element of superiority is involved, your gut was right. Polite, secure people do not correct other people's grammar. If they have the meaning of what one is saying in conversation, most listeners will overlook slight errors. Unfortunately, we don't always talk with "most listeners." Sometimes, in person, online, and against our better judgment, we talk with snooty, self-appointed, and insufferable grammar police.
What's Really Happening

Behind all grammar corrections, back-handed compliments, and "it's-only-a-joke" jibes lies hidden anger. When a Grammar Bully corrects your grammar (especially strangers online), you can rest assured that you are not the cause of his anger. Your word usage was simply the trigger of that anger. The Grammar Bully is in need of companionship, so publicly correcting you sends the homing beacon out to other Grammar Bullies. Grammar Bully is ringing in the friends with whom he can bond over mutual hate of the their/they're misstep.

When we are angry or stressed, a bonding hormone called oxytocin is released, urging us to form social connections with other humans so as to better our chances for surviving the cause of the stress. A Grammar Bully is feeling insecure in some way, and the insecurity is driving him to gather up friends. Many observers may think the Grammar Bully is about belittling others, but really, the Grammar Bully is just looking to find other Grammar Bullies because he is feeling angry and/or stressed.

Anger can be subconscious and many times it is. We are discouraged from expressing anger when out and about in polite society, so we suppress it. Unfortunately, anger is one of those emotions that bubbles up to the surface. Grammar-correcting behavior is one of suppressed anger's outlets.

Slow down, here!!!

SP loves to provide humorous one-line quips to help lift the entertainment quality on the board. His comment was hardly a grammer/typo correction, but merely a funny comment on the reference to Norm instead of Norv. I imagine most everyone got a chuckle from it, and we all thank you for being the straight man to set up the funny quip.

I would say let it go, but gotta feeling SP is enjoying the nonsensical banter!

That right there is some impressive punctuation, and grammatically correct too! You didn't copy and paste that, did you?
