Pokémon at the Point

Cedar Point is the jackpot for Pokestops. Just about every ride is a stop, along with a few shops and other points of interest.

^Dude. Not funny.

Neither is misspelling the name of one of the biggest genocides in the history of man.

To be fair, I'm on iOS with auto correct on, so it automatically changed it from holocaust to holo cost

I have both an iPhone and an iPad and have no trouble backspacing and correcting auto spell suggestions.

That's true, but when it does it without you realizing it, it can get annoying.

..... so you're just hitting "send" without taking a few seconds to review what you're written?

Sorry, that's hard for me to wrap my admittedly abnormal brain around.

I try to read my posts immediately and edit any goofs. It's also annoying, but for me it's necessary. And in hindsight it would've avoided you this conversation.
I could clearly see what happened and it's a shame someone thinks you were being intentionally disrespectful. Pretty sure you weren't.

I usually do a quick check of my posts before I post, actually. Sometimes something gets overlooked, though.

Must not have read this one before you hit send..."you're written"???

Ha! That's what I get for posting and watching Chopped Grillmasters at the same time.

I just always get a chuckle when people rip on someone for poor spelling/grammar and have mistakes in their own post.

I didn't know there is a grillmasters version of Chopped. I like the Chopped shows with the exception of the kid's version. Some of those kids drive me nuts.

I think everyone needs to eat a snickers. On a few occasions I've corrected auto correct only to have it recorrect me multiple times before it lets me keep what I wanted to type. It thinks it's smarter than everyone else.

It's on Tuesday nights at 10/9 central. This season is set in Napa. It's followed by several episodes of Chopped After Hours, where the judges have to make meals using particularly difficult baskets.

The kids can be annoying. There was one episode a few weeks ago where one Chopped Jr chef mentioned at any possible opportunity that he had been told by a chef that he would be a James Beard award winner by the time he was 20. Guess who got chopped?

Yes! That was the kid who irritated the crap out of me. He was so annoying. He would not shut up about that stupid award he might get some day.

I was visiting my parents at the time. After about the third mention I told my mom he was going to get chopped. You can usually read between the editing lines; anyone who keeps mentioning how amazing / great / unbeatable they are usually doesn't make it to dessert.

This thread went from being a Pokemon thread to a grammar thread and ended up being a Chopped thread.

I'll bring it back around by mentioning that my local library is inviting people in to catch Pokemons.

Quietly.

:whisper: gotta catch 'em all
