  Excuse me, it’s Muphry’s Theory. It hasn’t been proven enough to be a scientific law.

    to elaborate? I may have missed a comma here or there, but what else was wrong?

    I mean your own spelling is rather atrocious - especially when devices tend to have a spell check; “Muphry”? Is he a distant cousin of Murphy perchance?

    Oh and I use the Kings English here in my country, not “US English” ……

    Oh my word, this was embarrassing. 😂

      Hardly embarrassing - you don’t seem to understand light hearted banter clearly….yes I was playing on Murphy/Muphry.

      Geez straight to name calling though - classy 🙄

      Have a nice life.

        You’re right. The schmuck name calling was perhaps a bit harsh on you.

        You were “playing” on Murphy/Muphry? What does that mean? It seems like you just didn’t know Muphry’s Law was a thing, and you tried to hang me for “misspelling” it, then you realized what it is and deleted the comment. But maybe I’m just assuming. 🤷‍♂️

        I don’t know if you’re bantering, perhaps you are. I just have a hobby of shitting on people’s grammar that complain about other people’s grammar. It’s this Robin Hood type of feeling I get. I’m probably sick or something.

        Take care!

  Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?

  I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.

  But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.

    Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)

    Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].

    “God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.][missing comma] especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym[comma] perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!! [Overuse of exclamation points, although one could argue the level of severity in the contents of your message…]

    God save us …. [space between “us” and the ellipsis"; and an extra period after the ellipsis]

    Next comment!

    Well then[missing comma] use this as a teaching moment and elaborate[missing comma; also another “then”? Then then then then.] then?

    I live in a country that uses the King’s English[pretentious af but nothing wrong here], not the American version so please enlighten me - [hyphen instead of en dash] I do enjoy learning. [Good, you’re learning right now.]

    But don’t say there are [“is an amount”, probably? I don’t know what the King says, but that’s what I would say] an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given [again, ellipsis with an extra period; also the weird use of an ellipsis here – it should be a comma] the burden of proof rests with you.

    Did you learn something?

      “God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.]

      That clause was fine up to the missing commas. He’s pointing at the phrase and saying that’s irony right there. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with that structure. I don’t think it’s common in all Englishes

      [hyphen instead of en dash]

      That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes; if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type

        I am, but it’s grammatically insufficient. Idiomatically/colloquially/slang wise, it’s fine. I understood enough to know what they mean, obviously.

        That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes;

        Of course it’s pedantic. I’m going out of my way to be pedantic to show this grammar snob what it feels like to throw the first stone.

        if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type

        Skill issue. If they care enough, it’s easy to find out how. 🤷‍♂️ I use them all the time.

        Thanks for joining the fun!

      Isn’t the first mistake simply him using the sentence to declare there is irony? How is that an incomplete sentence?

      source

      • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Could you clarify? Do you mean to say it’s incomplete or actually complete?
