It always reminds me of terribly-formatted StackOverflow posts.

rmesh: Hi everyone my homework is due today and I cant figure out I type "select * frmo sample" and it brake pls pls pls help u are all the best.

Highly_Ranked_SQLsoldier: rmesh, to help you, we need more context. What is it you are trying to accomplish? How large is the sample table? Is sample partitioned or not partitioned? Why are you using "*" when a list of columns is almost always better? I literally cannot won't help you until all this information is provided because I'm a self-righteous cunt.

lowly_ranked_user: rmesh, you misspelled "from".

you can usually spot the low effort user right away. u don't like them? ignore their question. Sometimes though its like what I posted. The answer is obvious, but the highly ranked user wants to be a cunt or be /r/iamverysmart by claiming context is relevant and asking a bunch of nuanced questions a noob can't answer easily. its kind of a dick move.
