Who cares it's not spelt properly, you know what they mean.
This is a deals site not an English exam .

No, but at the same time it shouldn't be wrong pointing out spelling mistakes, as long as it is done politely. It's not like they're critiquing the author, they're essentially helping to improve their writing - something that is important in the real world. If I make spelling mistakes I'd want people to correct me, we shouldn't be encouraging people not to point them out

EDIT: Just to keep this thread on track, really good deal. Good to see supermarkets starting to sell imperfect fruit and veg which otherwise would be wasted.

Some people on this site really do need to get a life.. It's a website/app for informing people of deals which they believe to be hot. It certainly isn't an English exam and some of you people really need to relax and focus on much more important things in life...

I disagree. For rhetorical questions there is always an implied answer which is analogous to a statement For example the rhetorical question "Can't you do anything right?", the equivalent statement may be "You can't do anything right". In this case the person being impugned is quite clearly able to object to the statement and therefore should be able to object to (= answer) the equivalent rhetorical question.

So in this instance "Who cares?" is equivalent to "No-one cares" and clearly that isn't true. To deny someone the ability to object to either the equivalent statement or the original rhetorical question would be ridiculous and certainly isn't a grammatical mistake.

In other words someone should not be able to avoid someone else objecting to a statement simply by re-casting it as a rhetorical question.

I see your using big boy words to sound important.

All this over a mis shaped strawberry!

:smiley:

.
I disagree with your interpretation..... Also: who is "generally"? Why use the passive tense to over-inflate the importance of your own opinion??

​so picky, doesn't really matter tbh

Nope - "me" here is a contracted object, not a subject. As in: the person who cares is me. If you want to use I, you have to make yourself the subject again, like this: I do and a lot of others. Think about it like this: "Who cares? Me, I care". Oh - and by the way, generally, the English language is described as having a subjective case, rather than nominative.

The original "I" is correct because it means "I do". You wouldn't (or shouldn't) say "me do". The Subject requires the Nominative case, and quite correctly did so.

You would go to Sainsbury. Or, if you prefer the vernacular possessive form, "Sainsbury's". Of course that paragon of literature Waterstones prefers to keep its customers ignorant of such differences.

" Oh look at you - absolutely blooming. Have you thought about names yet?"
"Well if it is a girl, Supersue and if it is a boy, Otterboxer!"

They aren't true names, so they don't need capitals. Anyway my voice hurts, as I have learnt from hukd that you must shout all capitals and it is very hard to just shout the first letter of names.

I love it for the grammar lessons.

I think you mean me, not I. Try to use correct English when correcting someone's grammar.

Stopped buying any of tesco's strawberry tubs, half the berry is white outside and looks like turnip on inside with no red! lol Asda's are mush in after 2 days, i could pack a landfill with binned strawbs this year alone!

*Me*, and a lot of others.

As in: the person who cares is me. If you want to use I, you have to make yourself the subject again, like this: I do and a lot of others.

You're welcome :smile:

Just when I thought I was getting to the end of the great grammar debate, you two come along and chuck in a rogue there instead of they're. A sentence starting with a lower case letter and words missing from sentences. I despair. Lol

Really? Wow, that classifies someone as a troll?! Surely it would apply more to someone who likes to throw out the term at people, willy nilly, when they simply dislike a post. Or someone that continues to post and argue refusing to let go. 8 posts and counting. Laughable irony you've showed.

If they are not local, then they just look like strawberries, the sugars have all turned to starch and no flavour remains, if its not local bin it

They're Elsanta too which are gorgeous!

​they are in season enough to be English and class 2. Kent early crop been abundant for over a week now

I've highlighted a few errors. Could you please correct them and write out your post again 100 times? LOL

I was going to go to Sainsburys to see if they do these. Do I need to go Sainsberries instead?

quick glance and all these guys whined about usage of the english language

not a single one has a capitalised name

I'd rather they just mixed them in with all the other strawberries, so you had no choice about buying/eating them. That would actually be the ethical thing to do. You can guarantee they won't have these in most stores because there won't be space for two types of punnet.

Not that that is any reflection on OP's deal. It's a comment on supermarkets in general.

No, but at the same time it shouldn't be wrong pointing out spelling mistakes, as long as it is done politely.

"disregard of our native language"

Nicely acknowledged cliffymikey - it can happen to us all.. it's those who aren't even (and don't want to be) aware of the difference who disrespect our language.....

Changing the subject back to more important things; I think it's about time this was done. I saw a programme a while ago about Tesco not taking an entire orchard of apples because they didn't look perfect. The whole, perfectly edible crop was left to rot. I was fuming! This is a step in the right direction. Long live the 'broken biscuits' of fruit and veg :smiley:

I care about the disregard of our native language too. Other countries take pride in teaching and using their language correctly. It's like trashing something respectable here....

U gotta smile aint ya

:smile:

In the modern day of abbreviations and emoji's i think we all have slippery fingers when it comes to typing :smile:

lmao lmk brb ( oh no bad grammer and spelling! )

... or the one going mental arguing with the one going mental over bad spelling.

The internet does not bring the best out in us! :wink:

Tell me about it, mine often does exactly the same thing (along with banana-fingers adding m's instead of full stops and random extra words!) :smiley:

I do apologise for my incorrect grammar but unfortunately my android phone automatically inputed the word Strawberry's rather than strawberries. I do not know if this is due to the difference in grammar from the united kingdom to the USA but I apologise if anybody was offended by this error :wink:

Who is Strawberry? :wink:

ITS A STRAWBERRY MATE

Mis spelling of 1 word makes people literally go mental

ID rather be on the side which sees other people going mental from the bad spelling, than by being the one who is going mental because of the bad spelling.

(Will respond further by message as this has veered totally off topic from fab strawberry deals!)

Yeah. Strawberries are the nicest and most evil fruit: they taste their most absolutely delicious... the day before they go off! :smiley: Excellent soluble fibre, which is the only reason why I buy them, honest. Lol.

It doesn't change the fact that making such a mistake changes the subject of the title from the strawberries to the weight, so "troll" or not I will not apologise for correcting someone who is wrong.

this is why i love this site!!

It is my understanding that they are asserting that "no-one cares". In which case it is quite clearly appropriate to object to that.

It is my understanding that when people say, "Who cares?" they are, in effect, primarily just stating, "I don't care."

However, yeah, it's debatable, so fair enough. :smiley:

But you weren't being educated; by pretending to misinterpret the semantics of the post and focussing on the least important part of that post you were behaving like an ignorant, arrogant, rude and condescending troll (yes, I'm aware of the potential irony, :wink: ) - more so through your continued attempts to defend your position.

Come on, you behaved like an ass and were called out on it. I would suggest that an educated person would accept that and perhaps even apologise.

:disappointed:

I disagree. For rhetorical questions there is always an implied answer which is analogous to a statement For example the rhetorical question "Can't you do anything right?", the equivalent statement may be "You can't do anything right".

However, answering a rhetorical question IS.

... bought from another shop that may be (and for me, is) at least a car drive away (and I don't have a car.) Tescos are fairly ubiquitous on the high street now, Morrisons are not.

Except it was clearly a rhetorical question.

good find op, heat added :smiley:

I know they are perfectly edible, but wonky fruit/veg is almost always classed as class 2 fruit, my point was thou that even thou these are nor perfect and class 2 fruit they are not cheaper than the perfect class 1 strawberries.

​cmon swansea

​its not the runt of the crops they just arent the same shape as other so called perfect strawberries and are just as edible as the dearer ones

Its what ever you want it to be darling.,

Very silly. Wait until strawberries are actually in season. There not even flowering yet. Selling these as something special is hilarious and just obe of the reasons why Tesco are failing. It reeks of a round table strategy meeting.

who is strawberry? Are these his?

Nice ironic post.

It was irony, right?

Ah, maybe the whole thing was a clever play on words? Imperfect strawberries spelt imperfectly to match?

You have to feel sorry for the grammar/spelling police, correcting people is the only thing that makes them feel even remotely clever because they're lacking any intelligence in other areas.

OH HAIL THE EDUCATED ONE

Nah im joking, not gonna argue about the spelling off a word esp on a lovely sunday moring

Off to watch the football

Bye

If being correct and educated makes me a "troll" then so be it, I'd rather be that than ignorant.
Also, the incorrect use of the "'s" changes the subject of this deal, you're not actually getting strawberries for 75p; this changes the deal entirely making the details incorrect and this deal invalid.

Some people on this site really do need to get a life.. It's a website/app for informing people of deals which they believe to be hot. It certainly isn't an English exam and some of you people really need to relax and focus on much more important things in life...

Ok :smiley: its just that its 2016 and people are still trying to act cool on there high horse by waving there grammer police badge. Like anyones really intersted


:smiley:

Answering a question, and correcting spelling/grammar is not "trolling".

I might be being excessively cynical here but it seems to me supermarkets are simply repackaging class 2 produce as "wonky" claiming they're doing good things for waste, farmers.

If these don't sell they get thrown away or turned into compost/fertiliser etc. If these weren't repackaged as wonky, they'd be turned into jam, used in yogurt, cakes etc.

On the plus side, cheap strawberries. :laughing:

Nope just you :smiley:

Have nothing better to do than troll on a sunday morning?

Heat added

Who cares? I and a lot of others. That's your question answered.

"Strawberry's"? Have a look at the label.

Think I'll wait another 6/8 weeks and get some in season ones that are not crunchy and taste like cabbage. Thanks anyway.

I saw a dent in one of the strawberries. All strawberries go down the hatch the same way.

Like the idea of this wonky fruit but should be far cheaper, as it's the runt of the crops. Currently Morrisons have standard strawberries at 300g for £1.00 which works out roughly the same price.

It's about time! Good find OP, thanks :innocent:
