      +QuickStrike0065 Hi. I'm sorry if my comment bothered you. I promise, to me it's all in good fun. I actually debated a lot if I even wanted to join the conversation.
      I have no intention of being a bully. I was bullied for most of my life and is still dealing with the aftermath of that. Seriously. It's hell, and I wouldn't want that on anyone.
      I didn't capitalize my name simply because I like how it looks. And I can't claim that I have perfect grammar; hell, English is not even my first language. But I am studying to become an English teacher in my country and am actually in love with the language so I find this very humorous. And why I'm pretty much trained to notice other people's grammar. Not to bully them, but so I can teach them to be, hopefully, better communicators. And believe me, part of why I want to become a teacher is to help bullied kids because I know how it feels to be helpless. Tell me again that I'm not needed.
      To be honest, your comment stung a bit. Yep, it hurts.
      It's also not a habit of mine to point out grammatical errors in real life if I'm not asked. Really. As I said, English is only our second language; errors are normal. :)
      I hope this clears all that up. Good day.
      (P.S. Insulting people for a single comment they made(which is mostly meant to be a joke), makes you seem to be the one who's closer to being a bully...a hypocritical bully.)

    • @devon6236
      @devon6236 Před 5 lety +2

      I disagree with that, because many argue that graffiti is a beautiful type of art and it helps give heart and feeling to a city or town. Besides, they did state that most of the graffiti in their city is based off of love, not hatred or any other pessimistic feeling. Before posting something you must understand all the different sides to a situation. And kind of how the internet thinks as well...

    • @seashore0015
      @seashore0015 Před 4 lety

      @@devon6236 Graffiti is an art form, even if it's illegal. Doing it fast and making it look good is practice and practice. Tagging involves handwriting, which again you need to have a lot of experience in order to make it look really good. This graffiti is not graffiti, its more so some writing on a wall. Some people do graffiti because they like writing on other people's shit, some like the adrenaline of making a piece on a train, some like making throwies and tagging the city all around. I don't understand why these people dont appreciate others who risk their lives on a daily basis just to tag a fucking train. People who've been doing this for years and gotten caught 25 times haven't given up.
      Poorly written things like that in the video are disgusting to look at and you wouldn't want to see them.

    • @qwertyuiop1854

      Graffiti isn’t necessarily a problem.
      In reality it’s an art and it contributes a lot to the vibe of a city or town. Even if it’s illegal, it still isn’t really harming anybody in anyway.

  • @randomitydom
    @randomitydom Před 7 lety +2

    Poor penmanship actually costs businesses approximately 270 million dollars a year in corrections.
    It is estimated that at least 1% of malpractice causing death in hospitals can be contributed to bad spelling and poor writing.
    Most of the graffiti these guys are correcting are political statements, bringing attention to problems in their area. Poor gramma changes the meaning of the messages.

      it was a mistake by the person, not the agents. the dot to the capital i is a lowercase i correction.

    If I ever become someone with a legislative power, I'll pass a law that embraces grafitti to the fullest extent, while fairly regulating it.
