just letting people know...

 

Thanks for doing it here and not in the lounge.

 

Do a search next time you post, you NEWB! LOL just messing with you.

 

Hey that was my line!

 

this happens all the time

probably I've done this myself

whoever designed the English language was either a Sadist or a Nincompoop (see I don't even know how to spell the damn word English sucks)

 

Yep, Engrish is much gooder. www.engrish.com

 

Sticky!

 

thx for clearing that up, where would we be without you

 

Try speaking Chinese... Although, the written language is more clear.

 

I'm illiterate in chinese. It sucks when you have over 110 odd 'characters' to remember. Oh, and you can't sound out a word like you can with english.

 

lol...110? that's probably not even the reading ability of a 1st grader

 

The is no apostrophe in "its" unless you are specifically contracting "it is".
"Your" - possessive: "your ***"
"You're" - contraction of "you are": "You're an idiot"
UR is simply not acceptable.
Whether - conditional conjunction
Weather - look out the window
"Whether or not the weather changes, I'm going to tear off your arm and sodomize you with it".
There - Where?
Their - To whom does it belong?
They're - contraction of "they are"
"There lies their brain that they're no longer using."

Bad grammar is the halitosis of the Internets.
Don't tell me your spelling and grammar isn't as important as your meaning, because it is your meaning that is being questioned. People who type one thing when they really mean another are asking the rest of us to compensate for their stupidity and sloth.
Don't tell me you all have agraphia or dyslexia, either. I won't believe you.

Now I need a break. Or is it a brake?

 

i love when people write 'bumber' when they mean 'BUMPER'

 

A lot is two words =D

 

Unless you want to allot a lot of forebearance.

 

No.

 

aint is not a word....but I luv using it.

 

I've been thinking maybe people are getting the word allot and a lot mixed up. What do you guys think?

 

"Ain't has a long history of controversy. It first appeared in 1778, evolving from an earlier an't, which arose almost a century earlier as a contraction of are not and am not. In fact, ain't arose at the tail end of an era that saw the introduction of a number of our most common contractions, including don't and won't. But while don't and won't eventually became accepted at all levels of speech and writing, ain't was to receive a barrage of criticism in the 19th century for having no set sequence of words from which it can be contracted and for being a “vulgarism,” that is, a term used by the lower classes, although an't at least had been originally used by the upper classes as well. At the same time ain't's uses were multiplying to include has not, have not, and is not, by influence of forms like ha'n't and i'n't. It may be that these extended uses helped fuel the negative reaction. Whatever the case, criticism of ain't by usage commentators and teachers has not subsided, and the use of ain't is often regarded as a sign of ignorance. ·But despite all the attempts to ban it, ain't continues to enjoy extensive use in speech. Even educated and upper-class speakers see no substitute in folksy expressions such as Say it ain't so and You ain't seen nothin' yet. ·The stigmatization of ain't leaves us with no happy alternative for use in first-person questions. The widely used aren't I? though illogical, was found acceptable for use in speech by a majority of the Usage Panel in an earlier survey, but in writing there is no acceptable substitute for the stilted am I not?"

From the American Heritage Dictionary.

 

It's "must have" not "must of". It annoys me when people say "must of".

 

Usually comes out "must-uv". I don't know if they intentionally say "of" rather than a slurred "have".
"I could care less" instead of "I could not care less". The former indicates that the speaker does indeed care.
"Irregardless" is not a word. You can't properly combine "regardless" and irrespective". It is a double negative.
Ulitimate is ultimate. It takes no modifiers. There is no "most ultimate" or "nearly ultimate". The latter might be "penultimate" if it is next in line to the ultimate.

My favorite crusade at the moment is upon flight attendants. They all say the same stupid crap.
"Smoking or tampering with the lavatory smoke detector will result in Government fines."
Oh no! The Government is going to get fined if I smoke on the flight!
If they insist on using the word "Government" (the proper word in this instance is "Federal"), they should say "...will result in Government imposed fines."
"Remain in your seat for the short duration of the flight." Huh? Is there a short remaining duration of the flight or are we still on the ground after 4 hours?

 

Then I have to apologize. I've been wrong alot.
