Rant - this one is bugging me... (1 Viewer)

I am not picking on any individuals, but this one is a pet peeve of mine...
[rant]A sub produces BASS, NOT BASE!! I've seen this basically 5 or more times in just a few days.[/rant]
Mods, feel free to delete if inappropriate. :b

I don't think that was off bass at all.

 

[Joe Hsu]

Man, d'you see the baseball game yesterday? That guy stole so many BASSes, he should be jailed.

sorry, I'm bored at work, the corniness is up.

 

[John Garcia]

The funny thing is, the spell checker will bassically not correct this.

 

[Marc H]

I'm just about to head out for two weeks of bass fishing. Hope to get larger than 15"

 

[Sebastian]

Somethings wrong with this boys Madula oblaumgata!!!
You wouldn't happen to be related to a guy named Chris?

Anyone want to go base fishing?

 

[John Royster]

Watch out for the elusive low bass. You can hardly tell by his markings but he's got a fully clabriated belly.

While you're at it, there is no such word as "seperates" in the dictionary. The correct spelling is "separates." The same goes for lose, as in "I will lose my house if I don't make the payments, not loose as in "I have screw loose."

 

[John Garcia]

Yes, there was another discussion regarding grammatical and typographical errors on the After Hours lounge, specifically focusing on definately vs definitely, and a few other commonly misspelled words

 

[Brian Bunge]

My favorite is your and you're! Drives me absolutely insane! Luckily it's a short drive!

 

[Sebastian]

your and you're that's a good one.
how about there, their, they, and they're.
Grammar errors on boreds (I mean boards) don't bother me. It is just a message board not a term paper!!! Loosen up a little.
Now what bugs me is when you can not understand the post.:b

 

[DanBriones]

OK this poast is baseickly gett'n outta hand foulks.

 

[RobertR]

Another one I hate is the absurdly clueless confusion of "threw" with "through", as in "I'm threw eating dessert".

 

[Doug BW]

Yeah, the "base" thing drives me nuts too. Another often misspelled HT term is "receiver" (not "reciever").

Also, let's not forget proper use of "its" vs. "it's" and "affect" vs. "effect".

 

[Brian Bunge]

Robert,
At least you're not eating your dessert in the desert!

 

[aldamon]

It's simple really. The spelling of ba"se" is similar to Bose. Since Bose cannot produce ba"ss", it shouldn't be hard to remember the correct spelling.

 

[CharlesD]

I hate it when apostrophe's are misused.

 

[Dave Poehlman]

For me, a sub produces gas. Especially a meatball sub.

 

[RobertR]

For me, a sub produces gas. Especially a meatball sub.

That's preferable to having it surface after it submerges...

 

[Jack Briggs]

"All your base are belongs to us." (Or how did that one go?)
