I advise you to learn how to spell "advice"

Just what the internet needs; yet another overlay I have to click to dismiss, before I can read the web page behind it!

Nice idea but calling it a "review" of the Apple Pencil is stretching it a bit. More like a paean to the lost art of handwriting

>>When I substrate my friends, it’s no one that read that post....

If that's a representative example of how you mangle the English language, In not surprised.

Which is why I sleep in every day, not just at weekends. Problem solved!

So, a blow-torch then. Not a light sabre.

Nothing [apart from click-bait] to see here. Move along, please.

Thank God, in all that time, they've never been tempted to apply any graphic design talent to the project. The 'Win 95 Look' never goes out of style!

What gender are you when you're not in games?

Article title: "Surface Book vs. MacBook Pro: It isn't twice as fast. It's three times as fast"

Article body: "...if you've read this far, you know the Surface Book isn't twice as fast or three times as fast as the MacBook Pro 13 in all things. In this one game, however, at these settings it is..."

Clickbait, pure and simple.

I agree that there's no need to resort to personal abuse. However, I think your examples are a bit contrived: I don't think I've ever seen someone hit with a tirade of insults, merely for missing out the definite article —in fact [as a bit of a Grammar Nazi myself], I usually take that as a sign I'm dealing with a non-native speaker [Probably Russian]. No fair-minded Grammar Nazi will attack someone writing in English as a second language.

What I get annoyed by are the people who ARE native English speakers and who can't be bothered to spend a few minutes proof-reading what they write, or learning a few trivial grammatical rules ['your' vs 'you're', 'there' vs 'they're' vs 'their'] but yet expect the rest of us to struggle through their lazy, mangled prose, trying to extract meaning from it.

Why the fuck should I? If you can't be bothered taking a little time to check over what you write, before spewing it onto the internet, so that it makes grammatical sense, why should I put in valuable on time on your behalf, deciphering your blatherings? You've already shown me you don't care enough about what you want to say, to make the effort to express yourself clearly. So I'm not going to care enough to bother reading it.

Not again!

Why do you keep flogging this dead horse?

It's fundamentally flawed because there is no relationship between neighbouring / nearby addresses. Thus totally and utterly worthless as a location / navigation system.

Resubmitting it to HN every few months won't change that fact.

"complementary", you fucktard!
