Its like being inoculated, you go through it for the greater personal good but its nothing you write home and tell your nan about.

There's a lot of that about on here. If they got nothing much to say they pick on your grammar or spelling.

Neither is belittling other peoples accomplishments or opinions. You seem to want people to respect yours and if they don't agree with you your they must be wrong. I did not say you were, I said you come across that way.

Based on the context of your views, it would seem that proper spelling and grammar would perhaps add more credence to what you say. There is a spelling checker on here for those spelling challenged like myself.

Re: I became a Canadian today!!!

Whilst I think pgtips is a bit of a tool, I'm inclined to agree that the OP isnt really a Canadian...
Although i do congratulate you on your citizenship

. We'll be going for it ourselves when we can, but I dont think I'll ever consider myself Canadian- as much as I love living here. I'm sure other Canadians would probably be a bit bemused if I started calling myself a Canadian too.

Why congratulate? They haven't done anything meritorious.

They've survived years of officialdom. I think that worthy of admiration.

They seem happy though, so why not celebrate them being happy? Your heart two sizes too small or something?

Its like congratulating someone for buying a new coat. It might make them a bit more comfy but there's no need for a party. That's all.

I think I need a new coat. The zip fastener fell off and now I'm using a paper clip instead.
