Never help the Germans OR Was I Out of Line - Edition

Never help the Germans OR Was I Out of Line - Edition So here's an exchange I just had with a woman on here. I'll ask all of you minions out there. Was I out of line, or is she a bit hot tempered? ME - I'm not trying to be a smartass, but if you want, I'll rewrite your profile for you. I understand english probably isn't your first language. Take Moron 5 for example. Moron means something completely different than Maroon. Up to you. HER - well first of all Im german I don't need u to do anytning for me people make mistakes I didn learn English in school I learned it all on my own I don't a smart ass like u telling me what I wrote halt deine gosche u understand that ME - Well.... I even stated in the beginning that I wasn't trying to be a smartass, but I guess some people see what they want. Have a great night. And no..... I don't speak german, so I have no idea what that last bit you wrote was. I'm sure it was very polite though. HER - exuse me u where not polite either who cares what I wrote I told u to shut up in german.....do u go around spell check peoples profie ...u think ur strange ME - I simply offered to help you with your profile. It's got a pile of spelling errors, and completely lacks any puncuation. I offered in as nice a way as I could. I didn't try to make you feel stupid. I even stated that I realized english probably wasn't your first language. How that makes me impolite is a mystery to me. It must be a cultural difference. You obviously look at any offer of help as an insult. BEAST OUT |

Whether the vote clears me, or decides I was wrong to offer the help, I still have dibs on the band name, Moron 5.

it meant more shut your mouth/gob/trap you have a gob? you're a trap? {sounds a bit sexy, but then I'm weird...and horny} so she's multilingual in rude and bitchy, makes her part of the pack {on the other hand that's what you get for trolling the profiles and actually writing someone, even offering to help, how could you  }

wow. so much fun the international charmer that is OSB. Now getting back to hildas shitty profile. i appreciate her pride in learning the language. however this is not the place to work out the differences and nuances in our language. odds are she would probably be all bitchy when you actually laid wood to her as well.

It seems to me you were polite in offering; she could have just as polite in declining if she wasn't interested. The world is full of angry people. Elevate me...

Hmmm.... I can see why someone would feel *insecure* and then defensive. On this site, I would not be a grammar police for any reason. My experiences are that because I have a fairly well written profile, I get men who bash me for "sounding like a snob". You can't win on here, my friend.

In all fairness, unless you're going around correcting native English speakers, I call foul. I excuse people whose first language isn't English. The people whose first language is English are the ones that irk me. Ugh.
