I Need To Stop Reading The Comments

[barry1010]

on social media, especially under the news reports. So many people only comment on the headlines and don't bother to read the report, it makes my blood boil. 'Hope he makes a full recovery' (he's dead); 'RIP' (she survived); 'They should bang him up' (he got 8 years); how could they make a child sleep in a caravan? It's freezing!' (it happened in August); 'the police are useless, they should have arrested him' (they did, he's in jail).

That's just from this morning. Other comments I have seen today that have riled me: 'I'm discusted' (I see this a lot - use a spell-checker!); 'Usual suspects' (what does that mean?); 'Hes a site for sore eyes' (hmmm).

Anyone got a spare chill pill?

no chill pill im afraid. but i have discovered though i have tried to rectify the fact that the spellchecker on ab, doesn't work for me. Chris told me what to do, i did but it still won't spell check.

I came off our local rag, the spelling alone was atrocious then you had the *I think I'm funny * brigade , Nah not for me

[barry1010]

It doesn't offend me, just riles me - two different emotions.

Emmie, does AB have its own spellchecker? I was only aware of the swear censor. My spellchecker and autocorrect are done by my phone. Does your computer not offer it?

[Zacs-Master]

Same sentiment tho.

[emmie]

it does i believe, or so chris says... i can't get it to work...

[Zacs-Master]

If Answerbank had a spellchecker, some people’s posts might make a lot more sense. Might....

// they should have arrested him //

did you render that correctly? is it not more likely to have read "they should of arrested him"?

[Zacs-Master]

I think you’re getting confused, emmie.

if i type e mails, there is a spell checker on that, but not for anything i type on AB. its annoying as i have to check everything i type, some words one has to be extra careful.

[Sqad]

Perhaps I ought to take AB more seriously.

[Zacs-Master]

That would be dangerous and foolhardy, Sqad ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

What device are you using to access Answerbank, emmie?

[Sqad]

LOL ^^

I hope all the commenters are strung up, or locked up with keys thrown away, or thrown in a lion pen, or tied up and left to rot!

Glad I got that off my chest ;o)

I agree with you about the 'comedians', Bobbi - they are tiresome. Same with Facebook - this morning a lady in my neighbourhood group asked for help with something she cannot do and go mocked mercilessly.

Especially the anti British, fifth columnist, Vichy, Quisling brigade.

[barry1010]

I see enough of that, too, mushroom. I should of known what to expect :D
