It’s funny cos it’s true. 😀

I wish the guy hadn’t written ‘unannoying’ several times, though. What an insufferable faux anti intellectual conceit! 😉

Hmm – I see plenty of posts like that on FB and don’t find them all that annoying. Maybe it’s because I don’t have 800 FB friends (the ones I do have might not be all that close, but do actually like seeing that they’re having fun or doing well).

Jamie you forgot to put it in quotes and pick up on my Grammar.

Post on every thread you possibly can, copy and paste lots with replies picking on any minute mistake or ambiguous comment you can find, Google items then reword them so you look intelligent in your response, repeat until the thread is closed or everyone else gets bored.

I got as far as A Facebook status is annoying if it primarily serves the author and does nothing positive for anyone reading it.

Isn’t that the case with EVERY Facebook status?

I think it’s also the point of facebook. I don’t go to facebook to be educated or inspired, I use it to catch up with what people I don’t see regularly are up to. Twitter is for words of wisdom. I’m happy to see people doing well, they don’t need to make excuses or parcel it up differently

We havent set foot on the moon for 40 years, still have to start fights in the middle east to make our cars go(which also do not fly as promised) and our food is shite.

But we are great at social media analysis..briliant, hope thats broke a few rules which I CBA reading.

One day Historians will look back at FB and Twatter and confirm that it was a sorry period in human history!

but how will they communicate this information to the masses?

“says their happiness is more important than their kids.”

Eh? People with kids have to spend their entire lives devoted to serving them?

I have to take issue with

Seeing as how this is not a face-to-face way of interacting with others, I do think you have to ensure you are precise in what you type (unless, of course, you are being deliberately ambiguous). Otherwise your words are liable to be misunderstood.

Unfortunately for people who don’t like being corrected, grammar can also be part of this as it changes the meaning of what is written. Often, it is obvious that it is a mistake, but sometimes it is not.

An example. People who actually write ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have’, ought to be corrected. If they wrote this in a personal statement, say, for a job interview, then they may well have their application binned.

The teacher of my manager’s eight year old son wrote ‘should of’ on one of his pieces of work when meaning ‘should have’. The eight year old spotted this (as an eight year old should). The net effect is a slightly diminished authority on the part of the teacher.

Anyway, if that is insufferable, then I think the issue lies with the person who finds it so (flounce).

Happily, that’s not such an issue on here!

That is almost always BS. It is not because you get confused about the meaning when someone writes should of

I think they dont care about grammar as much as you and find the way its done “oooh I am so big and clever and you are stupid ” that they object to.

Unless i am very much mistaken FB is not a job application and you should of [hehe] learnt to chill about informal methods of communication.

wonder show many insu

Just like cycling you cannot stop can you 😉

you can take people off your feed on Facebook by hiding their posts, rather than un-friending them.
I did this with one particularly omnipresent friend whose posts made up 63% of my news feed.

And there we go.

One day, just before publishing his seminal work on relativity, Einstein thought to himself “oh, wait a minute, this is full of difficult to understand concepts and it challenges generally accepted wisdom”.

So he didn’t bother because he didn’t want to hurt other people’s feelings.

FFS.

(I am not comparing myself to Einstein before you fry me, I am just making the point that dumbing down to avoid loss of face for others is daft).

Some people on STW take being insufferable to whole new levels.

At least on facebook, you can block people who spout total shite. On here you get people who talk complete horseshit for YEARS before getting banned or leaving.

Good job the classifieds are decent 😉

I recently permanently deleted my Facebook account after six years. I can’t recommend it highly enough. The sense of peace after it’s gone is exhilarating. It was the same when I got rid of my TV in 2005. All that inane horseshit entering your skull all the time can’t be good.

Before I permanently deleted it I opted to download all my info. It was quite an eye opener to see this graphics-free list of your entire history for the last six years. Friends, Family members, ex girlfriends, groups associated with etc. Call me a tinfoil-hat wearing paranoid but it was all a bit ‘1984’.

Are we friends on FB Bigyinn? But seriously, Dubai was totes,totes,totes shamazeballls! Luv, luv, luv it!!!! Lolz
