#And Third! Have at least a modicum of fucking respect for me and don't fucking insult me
Text
Saw that post saying 'explain your job in the simplest/worst way possible' the other day, but I don't know where to find it again. And today has very determinedly reminded me of this:
My job - Explaining to people from other countries who think they speak my native tongue - that I have a literal degree in - more fluently than I do, that no, in fact, they do not.
#work-related#rant#Istg#if you're going to come at me for my grammar then#First! You'd better be damn right about it being wrong (which you're not)#Second! Your own comments had better be grammatically correct and spelled correctly (which they aren't by a long shot)#And Third! Have at least a modicum of fucking respect for me and don't fucking insult me#Just because I corrected your work and you're pissy about it#It's not a personal attack#Grow up and stop throwing tantrums#(I understand the irony of what I just said given this entire post but at least I'm not doing this in a professional setting)#(Occasionally I find someone who does indeed speak and write English more fluently than I do in spite of not having it as their 1st languag#without exception all of those people have been a delight to work with and far more interested in discussing the idiosyncrasies of language#than being right about things. I love those people.)
