You're also being juvenile for reviving a half-month old comment.

this is great.. 10 slides

My lecturer send me here.

It's surprisingly easy for perfectly literate writers to make both typographical and grammatical errors when writing "stream of consciousness."

Once one clicks "Post" it's too late. Unless of course one has the energy to copy, edit, and repost the comment. Sometimes I just can't be bothered.

I for one don't object to "pedantry." As long as the person is polite about it.

What bothers me is name-calling as a substitute for argument. Especially when they write "your [sic] an idiot!"

[radicalgarbage02]

Yes, I'm very aware. I didn't catch that one. It's (see?) funny how getting corrected on a careless typo can invoke feelings of total misunderstanding.

Once again, I'm at the mercy of my own words. It's like I'm making my own cage. I know that if a pedant reads it, I'm going to be made into a spectacle.

My only defense is a "perfect" comment.

This is why everything on the internet is so exaggerated. There is no room for subtlety; it scares me sometimes.

ASSIMILATE! ASSIMILATE!

[Bevin Chu]

Good rule, in general. Especially re: font size.

But there are notable exceptions. I've done many Power Point slide presentations on architecture and urban planning. I often need several dozen slides. Most of them are photographs of buildings or streets. I run through them with machine gun rapidity. Only a few seconds on each.

Limiting oneself to only 10 slides when making that kind of presentation simply wouldn't cut it.

[Bevin Chu]

I should note however that "it's" should actually be "its."

It's = It is.

Its = possessive/belongs to

I myself got that wrong for years.

[Bevin Chu]

I must say I agree with your observation about the sort of comments that elicit mass approval.

I've found to my dismay that even the mildest criticism, however thoughtful and qualified, often leads to a stoning in the town square.

Gush uncritically on the other hand, and fan boys will carry you around the stadium on their shoulders.

Conclusion? A surfeit of emotionalism on the Internet, and a dearth of reasoned thought.

[radicalgarbage02]

No worries, but if I'm a douche, what are you?

I've grown up since I made that comment and while I still stand by the fact that he sort of misused the word "algorithm" (because of it's connotation and not it's definition), I'll admit that arguing on YouTube is a fruitless endeavor and that I made myself look like a fool.

I've learned that there are a small variety of comments anyone likes on YouTube: overzealous approval, obvious jokes, memes, bandwagon, and conspiracy.

Good day!
