Because he didn't want to be stuck in the social prison of pity that people create around you. And the attitude of guessing your competence while your sick. I don't know what would of happened to his insurance if he somehow lost his position? That is my guess at least.
- sgt 14y agoshellox and mahyarm, please take note: why he haven't told it anybody => why he hasn't told it to anybody what would of happened => what would have happened your sick => you're sick I'd hate to be a "spelling nazi", but I believe getting this right is the very least we should expect from the HN crowd.
- pge 14y agokeep in mind that not all HN posters are native English speakers.
- apl 14y ago> keep in mind that not all HN posters are native > English speakers. In that case, feedback is even more valuable.
- antoko 14y agoThe feedback is but his superior tone is unwarranted.
- sgt 14y agoI don't feel it had a superior tone, but I think the original thread warranted a rather cold yet concise feedback.
- mbernstein 14y agoI believe you've confused spelling and grammar. In the future, when you're being condescending towards non-native English speakers - be sure to note the differences between spelling and grammar.
- sgt 14y agoDid I step on a nerve? Again, please don't mistake my cold feedback for condescending comments. I am fully aware of the differences between spelling and grammar. You may not be aware of this, but "spelling nazi" is simply a popular expression, hence the double quotes that I explicitly added. Don't worry - next time I'll say "grammar nazi".
