Hey Gang, it's "Moot" not "Mute"

[CreamyGoodness]

Answer: As often as you care to. We are not here to judge. Now, do you have a pipe smoking question?

I'm on a pipe smoking forum as well, no not THAT kind of pipe people, and it's amazing how often someone will be asking about the bowl of their pipe and refer to it as the bowel. I don't know how many threads I've seen asking about how often one should be reaming out their bowels. There really is no easy way to answer that question and it's probably best left to your doctor to discuss that with you.

Ya brought out my inner grammar nazi.

Mute means unable to speak

Moot means irrelevant

Just been seeing it on here a bunch recently and we are better than that people, come on!

Multiple broken sentences and lack of periods. You also created a new pronoun! If you're going to be a grammar nazi then you could try to lead by example.

Ha! I contend that using the wrong word occasionally doesn't affect the quality of communication. Consider the following examples:

Belgian porters may be stout.
I chilled my wart.


So, if Helen Keller is a deaf moot, is that irrelevant?

 

[JonM]

People are definately suppose to proofread there posts; that way your going to make less mistakes, then without, proofreadign.

After all, rules of grammar is something schools should insure their alumnis know about.

 

[JonM]

Sometimes the then/than errors can be funny, such as "I'd rather be p*ssed off then p*ssed on."

(But you are right)

Hate to be a killjoy but it's time not tine.

The only grammar Nazi I can't stand is the guy who uses a typo as an argument in a debate.

"Well, clearly your argument is invalid because you hit the wrong button..."

Poetic license


If you


do

this

It's a poem


and it does not even

need to

rhyme!

(And it was intentional )

Besides, as was pointed out earlier, the point is moo.

 

[KayaBrew]

Irregardless of what you all say, I agree with the OP. Also too, I think I'm smarter than everyone.

 

[neko]

You can distract yourself from these grammar issues by going off to brew a Belgium Ale......

I prefer an Indian Pale Ale instead.

The thing I don't understand is when someone starts a thread and they make absolutely no sense. How can we answer your question when we don't know what you are saying. Usually they are one line posts like, "When I throw the yeast carboy when do I know?"

 

[Shooter]

"When I throw the yeast carboy when do I know?"

You will know my son...you will know.

Drives me crazy too! My biggest peeve is when people say ideal when they mean idea. My boss does this everyday and I don't want to be a ****** and correct him. I'll ask him what he thinks of something and he replies " I have no ideal"

ARRGHH

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Rediculous.

 

[Airborneguy]

If I had to name a grammatical pet peeve, it's definitely people who add an S to 'mine'. I hate it so much I won't even write it here as an example.

 

[jpalarchio]

Ironically, the first definition of the word "moot" is "subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty, and typically not admitting of a final decision".

So common sense (not cents) would lead me to believe that a "moot point" is a point that should be argued.

However, English majors disagree...

 

[Homercidal]

You guys are literally killing me here!

 

[JonM]

A buddy of mine recently made a Facebook post about being surprised and how the surprise "literally scared the crap outta me." Really? That must have been really embarrassing, sh**ting your pants like that.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

My father, a good and decent man, drives me to distraction adding Ls where they dont belong. In reference to a side dish, my father will order an App-LA-tizer, and if he likes the way it looks he deems it App-LA-tizing.

I wont even get into the fact that he insists on using the word "secular" to mean its exact opposite. For instance, the Iranian Parliment, according to Pop, is secular.

This wouldnt be too annoying if he wasnt constantly correcting my grammar mistakes both real and imagined.

 

[m_c_zero]

My stepmom used to say "warsh" as in "go warsh your clothes", used to bug me.

 

[bernerbrau]

Reminds me of some Weird Al:

She was gorgeous, she was charming
Yeah, she was perfect in every way

Except she was always using the word "infer"
When she obviously meant "imply"

And I know some guys would put up with that kind of thing
But frankly, I can't imagine why

 

[JonM]

English major is fooling around with some guy when her husband walks in. He says "Helen! I'm surprised!" She replies, "Darling, I am surprised. You are astonished."

 

[Stick]

I still don't get it. Can you be a little more pacific, please?

 

[JonM]

There's an otherwise wonderful song by Ryan Adams called "Oh My God, Whatever, Etc." where he sings "ek cetera."

 

[jsv1204]

New flight attendant on a flight I was on last night announced (as she was "reading" her cheat sheet) that "after everyone has taken their seats and deplaned, they would be closing the doors and we would take off"...

How does that work????

 

[jsv1204]

What about saying, "I could care less..." when they mean "I couldn't care less...". I am always tempted to ask, "Exactly how much less could you care?"

 

[BrewKnurd]

I saw someone recently write "could of" instead of "could have." something like "well, I could of gone to the store instead."
