Do you mean . . .
. . . that Christopher is the only one that works, and she should change all of the others?Or do you just mean that Christopher is the only one you'd use personally, and you don't care about her story in the slightest?The first option is marginally helpful, although pretty pointless if you don't offer alternatives.The second is a useless and mindless response.

I meant that Christopher is the only name I'd use. I am part Irish, but I wouldn't personally use any of the other names listed. The story was nice, but I don't have sufficient time to always explain my thoughts.

HoweverShe's not asking if you liked the names. She's asking if you think they are realistic. As a writer you don't always use names you like, you use names that are believable to the story. I recently wrote a story and use Madison, because it was believable.The problem is that your reply was completely off-topic. That's the reason we called you on it. If it was asking about name opinions, no one would have said anything. But we do ask that you stay on topic and give responses that are helpful and on-topic to the original post.

It's worthless even trying to explain basic etiquette to her.Tippins corrected her spelling at least three times, yet she completely ignored it. And I don't know how many times she's been called on for giving completely worthless replies.Some people just cannot get it.

Similarly...It probably wouldn't hurt if you didn't harangue her about it. I find that in itself to be more rude than the original "offense."

ditto.Some people offer pretty "useless" replies, and Emma Catherine's hardly the only one. Seems like we could leave her alone now.Array
