Maybe you really should make an effort to understand English grammar.

In the OP:
"Those of agnostic or aesthetic beliefs: It's perfectly fine to believe as you do, but trash talking or belittling those of faith is only going to aggravate an already sensitive situation."

When I pointed out that the OP didn't mean "aesthetic" but rather "atheistic", Captain Strange said "You really should get out more."

Perhaps he doesn't know the difference, but I do.

I'm also backhandedly referring to his grammar error that he thought he was "calling me out on" in another thread.


Come on, you could've figured this out with a little thought, you didn't have to make me explain it.

But do you know the difference between 'spelling' and 'grammar'?

The first refers to the construction of words, the second to the relative who always over boils the sprouts.

Spelling is the construction of words. Grammar is the proper usage of words.

It's not a spelling issue. He used the wrong word.

Do you "know the difference between 'spelling' and 'grammar'?"

Besides, as I said, I was also using the opportunity to blast his grammar error in the other thread.

Would it not have been a grammatical error he made in the other thread?

My wish for 2016 is for those of faith i.e. Christians, Muslims, and Jews will co exist more peacefully with those of agnostic or aesthetic beliefs.

Those of Faith: There is a fine line between "introducing" others to your faith, and beating others over the head with it! Too many times those of faith push their faith on others too forcefully, and defeat t ...[text shortened]... the feelings of others.

...and let's all try to treat each other a little better in 2016. 🙂

For those who treat others well,
and for those who do not—

I wish you upon yourselves.

The latter can happen when you spell something wrong.

But lets just suppose he did use the wrong word. Is that a grammar mistake? I don't think so.

So you used the wrong word for a reason. The question is, was it a spelling mistake, a grammar mistake, a deliberate mistake, or just plain malicious?
