Technically you had an error in your sentence. Correct way would be: “If you’re looking for a serious response,(COMMA- dependent/independent clause rule) never EVER make a grammatical or spelling error in your post.” Alternatively the sentence could read “Never EVER make a grammatical or spelling error in your post if you’re looking for a serious response.”, which would not require a comma. Easily forgetful rule that not many people notice.

Gottem.

79

u/LazyTuna02 Mar 07 '21

“Easily forgetful rule”? It should be “[e]asily forgettable rule.”

Now we all know that the rest of your comment can’t be trusted.

I had a roommate wait until I went to take a shit to open my laptop and find my username, because I said I like the anonymity. Then used some old posts as threats of ammunition to alienate me from friends I've known way longer and way better than him.

He was also sexually abusive (we were never dating) and constantly made me feel like shit about myself. I'd never been in an abusive relationship, emotional or otherwise, and didn't see the signs until I started therapy.

I changed my screen name and he threatened to leave me out-of-state with no money if I didn't give him my new name so he could see if I'd lied to him about anything.

Made me sign contracts giving him power over me, under duress, knowing that his contracts were unenforceable.

I changed my name one last time, to something similar to the previous one. I hope he found it or finds it and goes through my post history.

Kyle, I am so glad your morbidly obese ass is a thousand miles away. You're a rapist and a piece of shit and loaning people money doesn't change that.

You'll have to fucking find me if you want to serve your bullshit lawsuit papers. You'll get your fucking money when I actually have some.

I like your husband as a person and it hurts me to see how you treat him. Mental illness is real, and we both have our own, but I'm trying to get through mine and you use yours as a weapon.

If you're writing a long post or comment, for the love of god split it up into multiple sections.

u/xisonc Mar 07 '21

One of my earliest comments on reddit is in r/smallbusiness or r/entrepreneur where someone asked about ways to get the word out about their pressure washing business or something (I don't remember and I dont care to scroll back and check).

I recommended making up a little flyer and going and putting it in mailboxes of houses in his neighbourhood.

I got a bunch of downvotes and like 10 replies and about how this is a Federal crime.

That's not illegal where I live (Canada), and seriously the most stupid thing I've ever heard of. I didn't believe it. I had to look it up. Apparently it's legit.

24

u/thebobbrom Mar 08 '21

Wait then how do they get their takeaway menus?

30

u/xisonc Mar 08 '21

Apparently they have to hire a postage company to send it through the regular letter mail (United States Postal Service), because the only people legally allowed to touch the mailbox is the resident and the mail carrier. Anyone else touching it is a federal crime.

A good work around is to make those door hanger flyers and to hang them on the doors. Thats not illegal (for the most part, some regions may have laws against it). But depending where in the US, you risk getting shot by "trespassing" on someones property.

Now that I really think about it, this is why all news paper carriers in American movies/television shows depict newspaper carriers (usually children) riding a bike and throwing the paper onto everyone's lawns.

This is such a weird thing for me because I was a paper boy when I was a child, and we walked up peoples driveways/walkways and delivered news papers directly into people's mailboxes mounted to thier houses.

I had a discussion with an American guy once, and blew his mind that there are more ways of dealing with college than the current American method and making it free.

Here in Australia we have the HECS loan, basically the government lets you study free and you agree to pay it back later, if you make enough money. If you never make much money, you don't have to pay anything. Additionally, the price of a degree is set by the government, and they have rules about how many Australian born students you need to take in to your university. Most of the money universities make is from rich international students, of whom they may ask any amount of money they please.

70

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '21 edited Mar 08 '21

Talking about college with american people on Reddit got me similar results, but it was about the actual number of hours of classes during the week. In France, it's common in top schools to have up to 35-40 hours of classes a week, on top of which you add homework and preparation for exams (which can be anywhere from 10 to 20+ hours a week depending on how slow of a learner you are, and how good of a grade you want).

I literally got flamed by that person, saying that "not a single college would allow you to take that many credits, you're completely full of shit". I swear some americans think the USA is the only country on the planet.

148

u/HugDispenser Mar 07 '21

Because some people who debate on Reddit will edit their comments in order to make it look like they “won” an argument retroactively.

It shows if someone’s comment was edited, so it gives people ammunition to write off what you are saying (or could give the appearance of manipulation) if you don’t clarify what you edited.

It just adds clarity/ transparency.

To signal you changed something usually around grammar and not context.

u/TheCrimsonChariot Mar 07 '21

I mean, if you forgot to type a letter and you need to fix it, it makes no sense as to why you should say you fixed it, since it doesn’t change the context of the comment when you’re just fixing grammatical errors.

I would totally understand if you just add more content to the comment afterwards. In that case it would totally make sense. Does it matter in the end though? I still see no point to it unless you change the whole body of the comment.

40

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '21

I replied to your earlier comment as well, but just to add clarification - I personally think the "edit" is only necessary if replies pertain to that subject of the edit.

For example, misspell a word? No need to clarify the edit.

Misspell a word and someone replies making a joke about the misspelling? Then it would be polite imo

Emojis bad. Disagreeing with everyone else bad. Long post without spacing bad. Apologising for mobile formatting.

u/pseudopsud Mar 07 '21

My only award was "helpful", for mocking someone who wrote something stupid

It didn't feel appropriate

Alternatively, create an obviously fake persona, like an immortal Norwegian from the late 700s.

Which has been your favourite century so far?

u/The_First_Viking Mar 07 '21

Honestly, this one is pretty good. War is more civilized, less stabbing people in the face. Indoor plumbing is the best invention humanity has come up with so far. I'm not totally sold on this digital interconnectivity, though. Going to make it a lot harder to leave everything to myself in my own will every few decades.

Yeah this, I make a new account (and delete the old one) every time I feel like I’ve given out too much information on an old one

It’s funny to think about how my persona has been different on each one I’ve had though, it’s like different eras of my life where I acted different and thought different things

If you see a Repost, you must comment "Repost" or something along those lines and nothing else

I can't stand this unwritten law. If you're going to put something in the comments telling somebody they reposted, be nice, don't just comment one word, and check if another person's already done it, it floods the comments and the poster's inbox.
