Re: For my fellow Grammar Nazis Danu Send a noteboard - 29/02/2012 05:27:27 AM
A Facebook friend posted a saying that I think is quite relevant, and shows exactly why it's important to master the English language:

Grammar:
It's the difference between knowing your shit
and knowing you're shit.


Another one is their and there

I am not a Grammar Nazis but when I am reading something and I am constantly coming across certain words that cause me go back and re-read a sentence to translate what word they really meant...it sort of pisses me off.

There is one thing I have to admit, Wotmaina taught me a lot about proper spelling/meaning/difference of such words as 'to' and 'too'. I know I still make mistakes and I know my punctuation is out in left field (Is a comma proper here? Comma or semi-colon? Ellipsis? I tend to use ellipsis a lot. Oh! There is another one. A lot, not alot.
You all have taught me a lot, but not alot about proper grammar. Thank you!

"Coexisting" = "no belief system?" Ghavrel - 25/02/2012 01:10:04 AM 406 Views
Not technically, no, but in my experience that is how it tends to work in practice. Joel - 25/02/2012 08:39:03 AM 514 Views
What? nossy - 25/02/2012 11:46:12 AM 504 Views

He did not favor moral relativism and he very much railed against nihilism. *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 11:13:46 PM 208 Views
If I ask how a grammar humor thread turned into a philisophical debate, am I going to regret it? Isaac - 27/02/2012 11:20:59 PM 428 Views
Joel posted. I think that answers your question *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 11:27:29 PM 181 Views
