Why is it that whenever I post a question in the academic section, everyone hammers you if you make a mistake?

Question

I haven't slept in two days and I made a few mistakes with my spelling because I wasn't thinking straight and all of a suudden these school obsessed snooty bookworms started wagging their fingers at me. They seriously need to get a life!

Answer 1

Cuz they spend their life making friends with equations and theories, and science thingies, and when you make a mistake its like you just stabbed their buddy, but its ok you have real friends don't you.

Answer 2

MANY PEOPLE LIKE TO BUILD UP THEIR OWN EGO(s) AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS!

Consider the concept of "Riding on the shoulders of giants".

By accepting our own humanity, fallibility, frailties, etc., we no longer let people like that bother us.

I recall the words of my Grand Father:

"It is a sad person that needs to speak, when they have nothing constructive to say".

Answer 3

Yes, they probably do need to find some other outlet for their frustrations, but it's the Academic Section.  What can you expect? :)
