Firstly, arrogant jerk know-it-alls who then reveal themselves to be

their /names/  (hint:  "their," is plural)  (that's two...)

"...guys who put...  ...about the...one..."
Tenses really shouldn't be so mixed.  Singular and plural don't usually
work well together.

"...recokned...?"  You really /don't/ use a spiel choker, do you?

What things are like Linux users?  I think you meant to say, "such as,"
instead of, "like."

I am annoyed by anyone who /does/ respect 'the competition.'

...if it's that easy to make you feel /as if/ you are dumb... (which,
BTW, doesn't usually, contrary to popular belief, mean, "stupid")

Oh my, comma usage is dying!  There will soon be an over-abundance of
un-used commas in warehouses everywhere.  Help the cause; use commas
correctly, but /use/ them!

The network requires you to do something?  Interesting.  I thought
networks were inanimate things and that it was the /clients/ who did
the requiring.

.../such as/ right now...  "like," indicates comparative similarity.

Everybody does quirks?  I feel left out! How does one /do/ a quirk?

Not particularly, no.  (/such as/ my...)
