[Question] Grammar Correction

Postby Idzequitch » Sat Feb 21, 2015 4:59 am

Just to be clear, I do not wish to report anyone, but I would like to ask for Moderation's stance on this. In a post I made earlier, there was a typo, where I accidentally said "form" instead of "from." When another user responded to me, he basically edited my post like a teacher correcting a student's paper. I understand that I did make an error, but my meaning remained in tact, and his correction served little purpose except to be belittling. I just wonder if this is considered acceptable behavior?

Actually, no. Not coming from me. Coming from professional fact-checkers.

Each of the news networks that we routinely follow -- ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC/MSNBC and CNN -- now has a scorecard that breaks down that network’s performance on the Truth-O-Meter. The scorecard tallies each statement we fact-check on that network and groups the rulings by percentage.

What does that mean?

Right now, you can look at the NBC/MSNBC file and see how that network’s pundits and on-air talent stand. For instance, 46 percent of the claims made by NBC and MSNBC pundits and on-air personalities have been rated Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire.

At FOX and Fox News Channel, that same number is 60 percent. At CNN, it’s 18 percent.


And considering how it's a FULLY SOURCED and FULLY DISCLOSED study, a "hurr durr liberal bias politifact who cares" reply isn't refutation enough.
If you want you can click on Punditfact's rulings for every single statement and provide here a refutation of that ruling, complete with sources. If you can.

It's fine. The original meaning is not removed, nor is the intent malicious.

Even more ironically, I cannot see the grammatical errors you claim, or the edits you claim. Oh, and most evidently, my original post hasn't been edited.
I would be grateful if you could help me improve my English by pointing out my errors.

Risottia, you misunderstand. I was only asking if your correction of my typo was acceptable behavior or not. Subsequently,I edited my OP here in Moderation, because I had made grammatical errors in it.
