Usually let stuff slide but I’ll go to town on a badly-drafted document if it’s for work purposes. I am a translator though

In fairness they’ve almost certainly jumped a shark in an episode of Baywatch. It probably happens every episode.

In answer to your question never, if anything I perpetuate misinformation and ambiguity because life is pain.

Had an awkward moment at work recently where my coworker, who is lovely but a bit fragile and has low self confidence partly due to her being bad at spelling, made some price stickers to go on books. One of these books was about spelling and grammar and she’d misspelt ‘grammar’ on the stickers for it. I didn’t want to make her feel bad but also thought the subject matter warranted correct spelling, so when I thought she’d gone for tea, I made some new ones with the right spelling so there was no bad feeling. Obviously she hadn’t gone for tea and came over to ask if she’d done the stickers wrong when she saw me making new ones. Felt terrible about it :frowning:

I teach Communication on a number of business and engineering courses and I am convinced that all of the mistakes I correct are irrelevant.

There’ll be a time in the next twenty years or so that we won’t use punctuation at all and all spelling will be correct if it sounds OK. Nobody will care about ambiguities because nobody will read anything in any depth anyway.

never

but i always let everyone know that i’m not even on facebook

do you work in pickie pool?

You have to correct the small mistakes, as what if they bring up shark jumping and Baywatch again, or then explain to someone else in your presence? It will be worse correcting them at a later time, they’ll feel a right mug.

nah, there’s pedalo swans in Newcastle, open over summer. its a pain in the dick and the water is contaminated as fuck.

“Can I get a-”

  • “MAY I have a…”

Misread this as paedo swans at first, heh. Never trusted 'em.

The swan that was on our lake fucked off after march, so the kids were safe from its feathery embrace. The geese were cunts though, wouldn’t be surprised if they were peados.

#31

are pickie pool your biggest competitors then?

#32

guess so, they’re far cheaper than us, and their water isn’t contaminated.

#33

they’re on the gold coast, a better class of pedalo swan

#34

wait a mo, you had actual swans on your lake? What did they think of the fake swans? I can’t believe you’ve spent so much time asking us about law degrees and haven’t mentioned something so important as this.

aye, there was one swan at the start of the season but it either fucked off or died, not sure which. We also had ducks, one of which would near eat food from your hand.

Some farmer left geese on the lake one year, and they were proper cunts. One time a woman was feeding a goose from her swan, and when she ran out of bread, the goose started trying to jump in the swan. She then started to punch this goose in the head, and proceeded to ask us why this happened.

ahh, wasted youth.
