Sure. They can say that today — now that Edwin Newman isn’t around to whup their scrawny @$$e$.
high five!
(or is that high-five, lol)
Acuracy is my goal.
This doesn’t just apply to ONLINE grammar mistakes....
There are hundreds of used copies of “There is no Zoo in Zoology” available on Amazon starting at $4. including shipping.
Please tell your wife I said, “You’re welcome”.
:-)
Probably. I can’t help noticing grammar mistakes but don’t usually point them out.
I only chime in on errors when somebody is being arrogant about correcting another poster while making an error themselves. It’s an immutable law of the internet.
Correction: should be: Just think, what would the threads look like if everyone used a new message to correct every minor typo or error?
You didn’t capitalise the first word in you’re sentance:
That their is a real bad error on it’s own,
Do I get any points for just thinking it and not pointing it out?
LOL! I like the gun. She’s a GRAMMAR NAZI!
“I agree and they add nothing to the debate just like when folks involved hitler and use the term haters”
Hitler should be capitalized.
That reminds me of a joke with the punchline “Oh, well then, can you tell me where the bread is at Bitch?”
“I hate it when people say “as well” instead of “too” or “also” or “and”.”
What’s wrong with as well?
How about:
“I loose my mind when my shoelaces become lose”
Not only was a small sample size used in the study, but there is no data as to how reflective of “general population” it would be for any demographic. In other words, this was a worthless study with worthless conclusions.
This may vindicate those of us, who hope for preservation of “proper English” into the future.
I get irritated when people put hyphens in ages like “he is 38-years-old” but so many people do it that I don’t say anything. I just don’t read any further. Like that lady who writes what seem to be intelligent and well-thought-out comments but insists on saying b/c instead of because. I just won’t read past that point. If you want people to read what you write, care about how you write it.
boy I agree with this one
being dyslexic I make all sorts of grammatical errors...
but I find that the people that point them out the most like here on freerepublic always make it as an excuse not to debate the actual point of what you’re writing about
