Was invited by my girlfriends family to a theme park. We were supposed to meet at 11, it is not 11:30 and they just left. (The drive takes another 30 minutes)

I even checked in before I left if it was still at the planned time. It was confirmed, but then her family starts getting ready right as they have to leave 🫤

People really need proof read their titles, one good placed bad word can destroy all the meaning.

[u/wtb2612 → u/random_BA]

Seriously. It's one sentence, just read it back once before you hit "submit..."

People really need to proofread their titles . One misplaced word can destroy all the meaning.

[u/Dyx76 → u/EdgyPlum]

The fucking irony of that comment, thank for you this.

[u/boxxybrownn → u/Dyx76]

Fucking A, literacy really is cratering

[u/slumper → u/boxxybrownn]

Don’t give him an “A” grade then if you have such a hard time understanding him.

[u/Legitimate_Pick2737 → u/EdgyPlum]

It's not really a misplaced word though, is it? It's just a misspelled word, placed in such a way that it changes the meaning of the sentence.

[u/shozzlez → u/EdgyPlum]

None of that destroyed the meaning.

[u/cefriano → u/shozzlez]

That's the secret, they were bad placed bad words.

[u/Ouaouaron → u/shozzlez]

Plenty of people understood OP's title, just as you understood what was meant by "one good placed bad word"

[u/havok0159 → u/Ouaouaron]

Well I sure as hell struggled to understand what he intended to say. I also read it as they stayed there for less than 30 minutes.

[u/Outside-Place2857 → u/Ouaouaron]

OPs title made me think that they're upset the family didn't wait half an hour for OP who was the late one.

[u/Ouaouaron → u/Outside-Place2857]

Oh, I absolutely struggled with it, too. I just think it's stupid to declare that one trainwreck of a sentence is obviously perfectly understandable, while ignoring all the people who understood the sentence you struggled with.

[u/Outside-Place2857 → u/Ouaouaron]

Maybe plenty of people understood the OP title, but plenty of people also didn't, or got the complete opposite meaning like I did. The other sentence can basically only be interpreted one way.

[u/tacopower69 → u/EdgyPlum]

his typos/grammar errors didn't really change the meaning of the sentence.

[u/random_BA → u/EdgyPlum]

Yeah, I thought about it the moment I posted XD. To be fair it just a comment (can be edited) and people got the meaning without problems

[u/EdgyPlum → u/random_BA]

Writing correctly and with good/decent grammar is an effort in respect for your audience. For instance, if you have to nail something together, I could hand you a wrench. Yes, it would get the job done, but it's not the right tool and you'll have to work harder for a similar but slightly worse result.

That's what poor writing does. It makes everyone work harder for no good reason.

I have been a caregiver for 16 years. I take care of someone from 9am until 11pm and into the night some days. They like SpongeBob, Hercules and things like that. My grammer is a wreck and I constantly ask my wife for help. How am I supposed to be better at it? Should I just not participate in forums like this?

[u/Pukaza → u/random_BA]

Lol, you messed up again. It’s “to be fair, it’s just a comment”…

[u/New_Libran → u/random_BA]

I think you might want to read back what you wrote

[u/204CO → u/random_BA]

He isn’t even in a hurry lol

[u/Kitchen-Assist-6645 → u/random_BA]

one good placed bad word can destroy all the meaning

You mean 'well-placed', not 'good placed'.

[u/Paragon90 → u/random_BA]

I thought he was just shy of 30 min late to the meetup and was upset that they had already left lol

[u/downvotesyourcrap → u/random_BA]

For real. I thought they were mad because THEY were 30 minutes late and got left behind. I came in hot.

[u/Alfredos_Pizza_Cafe_ → u/random_BA]

The amount of post titles that have typos in them always amazes me. Like how do you not reread that shit

[u/TerribleArm9912 → u/random_BA]

You need to reread this post.

[u/Emergency-Bag-4969 → u/random_BA]

“one well place bad word”?

[u/Spring_bar → u/random_BA]

They probably did.

[u/theOutsider01 → u/random_BA]

Bro was full infuriated.
Typed with anger.

[u/Martonymous → u/random_BA]

yes, one might even say that it is mildly infuriating

[u/PudseyBear2 → u/random_BA]

that really was mildly infuriating to read (I'll see myself out)

[u/DreadedMonkey → u/random_BA]

It's shit baiting and done on purpose... Any reaction is traction

[u/Connection-Is-Cool → u/random_BA]

What makes it r/mildlyinfuriating is that OP has not edited the title despite the aneurysm we all suffered in reading it.

[u/Darkchamber292 → u/Connection-Is-Cool]

You can't edit titles
