| May 8, 2013 at 14:13 | comment | added | JMarsch | You know, English is not the first language for some of the posters on Stack Overflow. I really do "grock" the idea of helping to get better quality questions, but lately SO has taken on a bit of aristocratic flavor, in my opinion. All of the controls, the hyper-sensitive post rejection is beginning to make the site too hard to use. To be honest, lately I've been wandering back to the MSDN forums. | |

| Apr 20, 2013 at 21:55 | comment | added | pstanton | It took me about 20 minutes to figure out why this wasn't being accepted subject: "how to reset a thread pool efficiently" changed to subject: "How to reset a thread pool efficiently" Surely that is a bit harsh? Surely that is why people have edit rights once they've earned it? this is the first time I've been disappointed by this site. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:41 | comment | added | Monolo | Making those people spend 5 or 10 minutes to fix their post because of that is bit extreme. No, I would say that is entirely appropriate. First, otherwise somebody else just has to do it for you, secondly, a verb is a fairly basic requirement for a sentence and hence helps the people reading that sentence tremendously in their parsing of it. Remember, there are thousands posts out there. Any minute you spend on your own post is saved many times over by your fellow community members. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:37 | comment | added | Bart | @perlwle I understand that. And frankly, I don't find that a problem. However frustrating it might be to you. The fact that you managed to solve it in spite of all this gives me hope that you'll do fine in the future. As for those who don't bother, I'm not sure we should worry too much. And as for pride in your English skills, given your interaction here, with a bit more care, you should be just fine. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:37 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | The point is that I didn't change much of your English @perlwle. I removed unnecessary back-ticks, correctly capitalised language names and removed unnecessary "thanks". | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:34 | comment | added | perlwle | @Bart The problem is that I had no idea of that error and I had to google around to figure out what exactly it means. And my grammar isn't that good and I may not be able to write that perfect english to pass the filter. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:31 | comment | added | perlwle | @benisuǝqbackwards thanks for the edit. Looks good. I am not proud of my english. However, IMHO One shouldn't be prevent of posting because of that. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:27 | comment | added | Bart | @perlwle Sure, mistakes happen. But if the system then notifies you of them (and given that you seem to be very much aware of how to properly write something in English) you should have no problem correcting those. Learn from it and you'll find that you won't bump into it any more. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:24 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | Please look at my edit to your SO question @perlwle. Not saying that it's a brilliant one but I found a lot of changes to make... | |

Please use code formatting for code. Also fixed some spelling and grammar issued and made the last paragraph more readable.

@Bart I have always been trying to write a better question. but sometimes finger slips or whatever. It's hard to find one lowercase i or missing is from longer post. Mistakes happen, you know.

| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:17 | comment | added | Time Traveling Bobby | Well, for starters...the code formatting should not be used for highlighting anything but code and a word after a comma does not start with an uppercase letter. | |
| Apr 17, 2013 at 8:16 | comment | added | Bart | "Missing a is or leaving a i as lowercase is a very common and make those people spend 5 or 10 minutes to fix their post because of that is bit extreme." ... if 5 to 10 minutes is all it takes to have a better question, I'd take that any day over the minor frustration caused. And you've learned something new. Win-win. | |
