    That would be your choice. It's mine if I wanted to listen to what you'd be posting on any of my sayings.

    My browser has spellcheck, but, unfortunately, no grammar check. So, if you could be so kind to volunteer your free services  to be my very own personal grammar checker, I would find that very helpful and would appreciate that. Thanks.

    ;P

    [Psssst, Element, ol' pal, it's not too late to edit your post with a comma after the word "spelling", and using the correct ending punctuation.  Oh, and by the way, rookie, we here at Grammar Police Headquarters take a dim view of grammar errors from fellow officers.  A word to the wise is sufficient.]

    Esquire.com not also says "According to science, you're a HUGE jerk if you point out errors”, it also says they are douchbags, they tend to be disagreeable, close-minded and conscientious introverts. 

     

    Rawstory.com agrees saying “Science proves what we already knew – Grammar Police are jerks”.

     

    Dailymail.com also says “Are YOU a ‘grammar Nazi’?  You’re probably a jerk: Language pendants are more likely to be introverted and disagreeable”

     

    Today.com also says “…if you are fixated on nitpicking, you may be an introvert.  Or a jerk.”

    No, I would think you were on meds or peyote.

  • No - not enough information to come to that conclusion.

    I might think you are bored though, mostly because extreme boredom might get me doing the same.

  • Wouldn't you rather have a nice, normal obsession with alcohol instead?

    not also?

    And I already know I'm a jerk. What is this "according to science" crap? Which science? Jerkology?

    No...just alcohol and an occasional hit on the pipe.

    That's what caused me to ask the question.

    Of course not. Not everyone who does that is a jerk. Just some of them.

    Just edit it, Dude.  (Why are people on AnswerMug so reluctant to edit their questions?)

    :(
