English Errors.

This thread is to help the enforcement of the grammar, punctuation spelling, capitalization, and proper English rules.


First one of the thread.

I'm half surprised you didn't post in the flame thread, or for that matter, that xbadx didn't either. Doesn't matter anyhow, its closed. Try to refrain from bringing back old topics just because you are bored.

I'm a big grammar, spelling, and punctuation guy myself. But outside of not capitalizing "thanks" and comma splicing the last phrase "my friends want to know what to expect.", I don't really see any errors in it. The ones that I pointed out were trivial.

This seems more like a "I hate xbadx" thread.

Diesel has a point... the last post has one error (two errors tops)... we're not going to be that anal about it.

What's wrong with anal....in regards to making sure everyone's posting correctly? Besides being a big pain in the ass of course to do.

Everyone makes grammar mistakes from time to time, even the native English speakers. Consider the people whose English is not their first language... Sometimes people don't even know they made a grammar error even if they have already proofread them.

Ok Xbadx, guess which finger I have up. No this thread was not to flame you. It was to bring attention to some horrible english errors.

I know 'thaty'll' is not a word, it is slang. It is not in the dictionary, but it is commonplace language. At least I do not make errors in my post in the English error thread xbadx.

Willski's post was a joke. This thread seems to be exclusively for you to try to get people that offend you in trouble.

Seems like it's certainly one of their goals. Just got to find a way to lock them in a room together when you do it. :P

Why don't you just report ALL his posts then? I sent him a note...but I'm awaiting for documented proof that you are an English Professor, slnewbus.

That's it... If you want to report problems, use the report a post function.
