Question Posted Thursday February 26 2004, 7:16 pm
What can I do about those annoying idiots online who never bother to spell anything right? (a.k.a. newbies). They're really annoying! Everytime I run into one online I just want to stab a fork into an electrical socket... It tingles, but then you die. Can anyone help?

Firefly answered Thursday February 26 2004, 9:00 pm: probably can't help you there...the world is full of crazy people who don't feel like typing out whatever it is they want to say. just learn to build up tolerance, and if they're really REALLY stupid, then you have my permission to stab a fork into THEM.

Logic-Man answered Thursday February 26 2004, 7:58 pm: I ahev the exact same problem, except I get the urge to sitck and electrically charged fork into THEIR eyes. Ah well, to each his own, n'est ce pas? Anyway, there are several solutions, ranging from the very drastic send them a virus to just ignoring them. This does not work, as they insist on sending several messages of "whr r u?" "did u leave", "y dont u say anything?". At some point you'd think they'd learn, like a chimpanzee, but they aren't as smart as a chimp. Luckily, instant messaging sevrices allow you to block people, AIM does this nicely, or the fun ICQ way where they cannot talk to you without authorization. I love that. AIM I believe also has "warning". Click that. It's fun. But really, you're doomed. My girlfriend won't abide by the proper rules of grammar. And all the people I help in my column probably couldn't pass a simple spelling test. "You're" mean "you are", "your" means "your"!!!! So, you just need to learn to deal with it, often with cursing and "Caps Lock". * can be substituted for those who feel certain words "wrong". **** *** I say to you. I just wasted your time, didn't I [ Logic-Man's advice column | Ask Logic-Man A Question ]
