I was going to make a comment about the spelling mistake, but I'm glad i was beat to it so the fun police could stone someone else...

Is it not reasonable for a forum linked directly to a university to be held to some standard of grammar or spelling (even if only for the sake of humour)? Despite the terrible situation the OP finds himself in beyond their own control, there is still some dark, ironic humour to be found in reading a post with a spelling error about being denied entrance to McMaster.

If I was to make a post on here about a negative issue I had experience with Mac using poor spelling/grammar, would I not be opening the door to being fairly poked fun at?

It was the first thing I thought of too when I saw the thread title. But it was on Lawley's computer, which she was using, so I couldn't reply to it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to see the irony in the situation, I appreciate it haha.. and making a joke doesn't mean I'm trying to make myself seem smarter, pointing out the juvenile motives of others kind of does though..

Lol, I quoted him before he deleted it
If it's not racist, hateful or spam, or a ton of swearwords with a link to ****, I don't mod posts.
If a post is rude but...not filled with hate, loathing and burning of effigies, or discriminatory, I think the Charter trumps modding.

I can see how someone pointing out the irony in your typo would require them to "need a life".

A fine social worker you'll make.

I like how everyone's ripping on the person who pointed out the typo...but what the hell did people think I meant when I said "really?"

XD

I mean, don't get me wrong... it's nice not being ripped on. But still. XD
