Strikes & Outs

[Tim C]

I got his point.

There seems to be an ongoing discourse on the internet concerning "how" posts are written rather than what is in them.

On another website there is a dicussion currently on "why do umpires look for the smallest of incorrectness in a post and then attack it rather than recognize the real issue and spend time on that" . . .

And I think that is a valid point.

I get tired of posts that comment how dumb a TV announcer is because he used the term "foul tip" when the ball is actually just a "foul ball" --

Skip Carey just the other night: "That ball was foul tipped back to the screen."

Is that so bad? I know he should have said: "And that ball was tipped foul back to the screen."

Side Bar:

That reminds me of George Carlin to Johnny Carson: "Well Johnny I just don't get things, I can say, 'I pricked my finger', but I better not say, 'I fingered my prick.'"

Back on point:

Simply because a poster tried to answer quickly does it mean anything "iffin' he missppells" or missptypes sometin'!

I don't think so.

It is just another little rat thing Rich is doing.
