Quiet

I had to post this because my inner grammar nazi is going nuts.  I constantly see people misusing the words quiet and quite on tech forums.  Please stop doing this.  Your graphics card cooler or cpu cooler is not running "quite" it is running "quiet".

Some people on the forum may not speak English as their first language.

Also don't take this the wrong way but I find Americans who lecture others on the English language most amusing...

Most of the people that make this mistake are probably Americans so I understand your amusement.

Thank you for pointing this out before I had to.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

I hate when people can't use bought and brought correctly. Also and this may be an Australian thing but people say everythink instead of everything... Drives me bonkers! :)

Yeah it is quiet annoying.

 

But keep in mind that people make typos as well. It's not very hard to accidentally switch two letters.
