Is it just me who gets annoyed with people putting "me" or "my brain" under source?

I am now finishing with my name as my own work.\ncut and paste should be kept to a minimum, preferably only when it's a technical term or reply, and definitely not pages upon pages from the Bible.\nMaster.

It's rude to correct someone in front of others, but if you are their friend, do it privately and kindly. This will keep them from sounding ignorant the next time. (I can hear people reaching for the computer mouse to give me thumbs' down). If I mispronounced something horribly, I would want my friends to tell me so I would not make the same mistake twice.

I hate it when people say "FYI (for your information)"

Hi there- being that I have OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder), I can empathize with how you are bothered by the poor grammar and spelling of other users. Actually, it doesn't bother me at all- which is uncanny. Since I am obsessive-compulsive, it seems counter-intuitive that I would not be bothered by people's mistakes in writing. Of course, I make an occasional faux pas myself. I love the English language...poetry, books, etc. But I do understand that there are other people who may not have an affinity for the written word. I believe that in some instances, the individual may be in a rush, and as a result, they are negligent when it comes to constructing their sentences. Some people may be very young people, or may be people who have recently started using the English language, and don't yet have the same proficiency as some native speakers/writers. From that vantage point, I think that many people, even highly intelligent ones, may have some degree of difficulty assimilating. Ostensibly, English is a difficult language to learn for speakers of other languages. There may be mulitiple reasons for this- such as idiomatic expressions, sarcasm, internet/chat terminology, et cetera. \n\nAt all events, I do understand your concern. I have heard of people with OCD who are greatly perturbed by poor grammar, or using incorrect numbers, and so forth. It stands to reason that there are people who do not have OCD who will also have this sort of pet peeve. I used to correct people when they failed to speak properly- for example, if someone were to say "Where is the car at"? I would chastise them for using a preposition at the end of a sentence. I don't know what aspects about me have changed since that time, but I don't normally try to correct people anymore. Please be assured that there are still people out here that love proper writing, as I am one of them. :)

Yes, strictly speaking it should be "I do" or just "I", but it just sounds so pretentious. It's not the way we speak in everyday converstaion.

If you are listing the source that you borrowed the information from, then it is not plagerizing, even if you didn't paraphrase it, because you are making the acknowledgment that the material is not yours.  However, if you are directly quoting a source, it is good form to set it apart, either using quotation marks or as a separate paragraph.\n\nIt is plagerizing when you borrow the material, but you try to pass it off as your own work.

You know, I'm myself have done this a time or two now that you've made me think about it.  Its wrong and I should stop doing it. I just get so frusterated as people ignorance sometimes that it leaks out.  I'll try to be more aware of it.  Thank you for your question, its made me think about myself and how I can be a better person.  \n\n*hugs*

I've noticed it too.\n\nBut you've got to remember that many of these people on this site haven't even graduated from high school, are not native English speakers, and/or are purely doing this for fun.  They're not too concerned about their grammar.

I agree with "I'm gonna take and...". My stupid ex-boyfriend would say that all the time, "I'm gonna take and go find parts for my car" or somthing stupid like that. I just wanted to hit him and say why can't you say "I'm going to go find parts for my car". I also hate when people say "wuz up" or "sup" or how ever they say it. It justs makes them sound stupid.

I can't believe all these people saying "Mark and I"  !!!  "Mark and me" is correct!\n\nSimply take "Mark" out of the sentence and see if it sounds right.\n\n"Could you please copy I on these communications?"  It doesn't work!\n\nAnd the first one is correct.  The second sentence uses the reflexive pronoun "myself," which doesn't make any sense.  Could you please copy myself on these communications?  You would not ask somebody to do it, if you were going to do it yourself.

Actually, the occasional 'u' does not bother me. It's when they use these contractions for *every single word* in a sentence. Now that is annoying. I dont even bother with those questions, i simply am not going to take my time to translate what you wrote, when it can be spent more effectively somewhere else. \n\nDoesn't it take more effort to construct a "sentence" like that, than just writing the whole thing out properly?\n\nI think that those people are just trying *too* hard to look, i dont know - cool to their friends? cool to eveyone else? to look like they're internet wizzes?

I don't think it really matters.  Sometimes we use the word "persons" when we want to emphasize that we are talking about a group of individuals rather than the group as an entity unto itself.  Know what I mean?  But in general usage, I really don't think it matters.  Either is acceptable.

yeah..its irritating.\nsome people do that intentionally.
