Don't you just hate it when people who can't spell can draw so much better than you? 😥
Why do you despise those who have other gifts than you, and may well struggle through life with a learning difficulty??
 
I think hate is a very strong word to describe an attitude towards another person skills.

Why would you hate another person's ability to draw?

Why not say - I hate it when a wheel chair user can draw you wouldn't dare, So why mock someone who cannot spell.

Oh dear, clearly I've been teaching English under false pretences all these years....:oops:

Let's take it from the top: the expression "Don't you hate it when..." doesn't necessarily contain any connotation of hating a person or indeed their actions; in fact it's a meaning of "hate" which describes a situation which makes you feel upset/uncomfortable/embarrassed/envious etc. So the attempted "joke" was me describing a situation in which a cartoonist didn't proof read his cartoon, which immediately caught my eye, but which also elicited a degree of envy in me because I'm totally unable to draw more than stick figures. I could go on and explain that any negative meaning in my comment was aimed at me and not the cartoonist, who may well simply have made a slip of the pen - but I don't really think that there's any point feeding the virtue-signalling trolls who coming crawling out of the wood at the slightest opportunity, wouldn't you agree? :rolleyes:

I suggest that you have never felt the emotion 'Hate' - had you done so you would never concider the word in that light.
