Lol amen

grammar. It * That should have been a full stop after "grammar" followed by a new sentence. You SO asked for that.

Well thank you for the correction I will remember that in the future and if I give a **** I will write it correctly. There's a difference between knowing and caring, people!!!!!

Maybe if you could tell the difference in the first place and write/talk correctly without seeming like an idiot, then maybe people wouldn't have to correct you.

write/ talk When you use ___/ ___ there should be a space after the /. If you call me an idiot for missing something, you better make damn sure your grammar is correct. This is why I am much more likely to listen to DocBastard.

Wrong. Look it up in any grammar manual. Besides, rules on how to use slashes are a lot more niche than basic English grammar. Anyway, stop spamming. Nobody wants to hear your stupidity.

If I'm spamming, what are you doing? You've posted just as much as me

Bitch_pleez - actually there is no space after the slash. You only put spaces before and after the slash if you're indicating line break when quoting multiple lines in a poem.

I'm feeding the troll, so I guess I'm stupid there and I'll stop before you get bloated. Quit whining and crying like a ******* baby. It's embarrassing.

DocBastard, there actually is a space after a slash anytime you are using it to separate words, not just after poetry.

Bitch, please. That is only true in poetry and some prose.

Sirin, prose is writing. So I am still correct.

Only if you want to mark a new paragraph in such a way, Bitch, otherwise you either put a space on both sides, or none at all.

Bitch_pleez, why did you make an attempt to correct Shrike's grammar after openly expressing your resent for people who correct other people's grammar? Make up your mind!

BP's just mad 'cause he was kicked out of Grammar Nazi college. :)

The only thing worse than someone who makes mistakes repeatedly is someone who refuses to admit he's wrong.

Anyone up to castrate and perform a lobotomy to bitch_pleez?

That guy should date my boyfriend for a day. They'd be really happy together. :-P

bitch_pleez - just stop... Even the OP blasted you. It's time to be quiet.

I agree with #15, as long as you can understand the person I don't see why people have to get all offended and start being spelling/grammar nazis, especially on the internet. Although there are some places where it does matter

Oh, so.... YOU'RE one oh those people.

Bitch if you don't separate your prose from the cons, your failure with verbatim will have fed these trolls more than all of Africa eats in a month.. If you don't see what I did there, you are a lost cause. That is all.

134, I did see what you did. The rest of you, please link me to reputable articles that say being a grammar Nazi has positive effects and leads to change in the minds of people who disagree with you or STFU. Thanks (:

Wow, epic education thread. I can't believe this many people, including DocBastard, and even the OP, cannot convince one idiot of their obvious grammar fail.

At 58 listen to docbastard h is a doctor :)

You know, in a lot of settings it really does matter. Nobody on the Internet is going to do much if you failed to learn basic grammar, but in offices full of relatively intelligent people you will be judged poorly for a lacking command over the English language. Bad spelling and grammar gives clients a bad impression - would you sincerely want to do business with someone who doesn't even care enough to spell and grammar check their documents? - not to mention that it comes across as a little startling that someone who's been using a language for a quarter of a century or more hasn't yet mastered the absolute basics. Practical example, in my previous job one of my non-technical responsibilities was hiring junior software developers. We would get around 400 initial applicants for 8 positions, it was my responsibility to whittle that 400 down to about 40 or 50 which I'd then interview. So, when you have so much choice, what do you look at? Experience, education, applicable skills, apparent technical ability were all major factors, but the first thing I did was go through every single CV and instantly dump the ones with bad spelling or grammar. If you don't care enough to spell, grammar check and proof read the first impression you're going to be making on us then we don't want you. This is very common practice for highly contested jobs.

I'd thumb you up, 180, but iPhone says "no". :(

Thank you!!! I so agree! If you can understand, and it's not harming anyone, and it's not ghetto talk, what is the big deal?

I, want, commas, after, every, word. But what do I know?

hahahaha

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here as sarcasm can be difficult to identify via online comments....

I hope she's sarcastic; otherwise, that's incredibly ironic :|

Yes, haha a failed attempt at sarcasm. Sorry. I'll go die now.

*You're LOLOLOLOLOL I was waiting for someone to make that mistake.

Edit: I just realized it was a joke. Now I'LL go die in a hole :P

Notice you said "had"

she said' had' as in 'I used to have'. I believe 'had' is in an acceptable way in this sentence.

22- I believe he meant "had" to point out the presence of past tense.

ahh. excuse my foolery.

Because she still likes him, and because bad grammar is the worst excuse for a breakup I've ever heard.

But 'Every time I write you, you correct my grammar' is an excellent reason to break up.

I so agree with you.

Like nails on a chalkboard to a grammar nazi.

... and purposefully ironic

should have corrected him, not should of sorry doc. however, I do enjoy your comments

63- that's the only mistake you found? All the mistakes were purposeful which is what made it funny.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH That was the sound of my comment going over escapedfromexico's head.

63 just destroyed the last tiny shred of hope I had for the English language. Clearly, it's dead now. W3 m1te 4s we11 411 st4rt tlk1ng lyk3 d1s n0w 1 gu3ss...

Well, 63 did just escape from Mexico... I'll just give him/her the benefit of the doubt. English probably isn't their first language. Doc is the best!!! Wow, I always thought everyone who got then and than mixed up just had typos... then I looked at my keyboard. Although A & E are close, they aren't close enough to be called a typo.

I guess enter doesn't work for a new line on FML via the Android app... They couldn't even give me a space... -_-

*too be fine.

202 Actually I believe it's *two be fine.

Um, duh, that was a joke.

That was an epic video!!!

I was embarrassed for that girl in the 80mph video....watching her babble on made me cringe.

Yep. They're CLEARLY in it for the sex.
