It was a sentence just after remarking on your tribute to a friend: http://thebitterscriptreader.blogspot.com/2011/01/youve-gotta-have-friends.html.<br /><br />ps, please pardon the use of the word "snarky" in my earlier post today. I dislike using it, but wasn't sure of a decent replacement. <br /><br />pps, I take your point - snark does sometimes require a bit of bite back.Ursahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651393902001730531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-42247142554534839412011-03-16T13:35:32.687-07:002011-03-16T13:35:32.687-07:00I think you'll find most bloggers in agreement...I think you'll find most bloggers in agreement with me when I say that I have little patience for "typo police," particularly those who cop an attitude in their corrections, as if to say "Gotcha!" I don't recall which typo you're referring to, Ursa, but I would bet you were respectful and pointed it out in an "Oh, by the way" manner.<br /><br />But if a person's only reason for posting is to scream and shout about a typo - and do it with a little bit of snark - then the LEAST they should expect is snark back.The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-38998643331977112792011-03-16T13:27:39.848-07:002011-03-16T13:27:39.848-07:00Or, Mr. Bitter, instead of being snarky to your re...Or, Mr. Bitter, instead of being snarky to your readers when they bring your attention to a typo, you could say "thanks for pointing out my error", or perhaps just say nothing at all (remember Thumper's mother in "Bambi"?). When I pointed out a mistake you made in a post, you didn't respond, and just fixed it. A decent, quiet way to go, imo.Ursahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651393902001730531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-82244449721780371102011-03-16T12:30:22.162-07:002011-03-16T12:30:22.162-07:00Zing!
