if i understand what im reading, i dont give a fuck.


those people who have a problem, with bad spelling, have other problems too.

nobody in their right mind wastes time on getting angry at such trivial things.

like lost in a sea said.

its content that matters.

not frigging appearances and people are fools for thinking othervise.

The It's vs. Its page
If you're confused by these two little words, you've come to the right place. (Not that there aren't other right places.)

It's is a contraction for it is or it has.

Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.

And there is absolutely, positively, no such word as its'.
A simple test

If you can replace it[']s in your sentence with it is or it has, then your word is it's; otherwise, your word is its.
Another test

Its is the neuter version of his and her. Try plugging her into your sentence where you think its belongs. If the sentence still works grammatically (if not logically) then your word is indeed its.
Examples

It's been good to know you. Contraction: it has
It's a bird! It's a plane! Contraction: it is

The dodo bird is known for its inability to fly. Possessive pronoun: its inability = the dodo bird's inability

Some posts are hard to read. If it's in a random section, who cares. If it's in anything related to growing/biology/design etc...then it's a bit annoying. I can skip over the post, but it's like you're cluttering up the thread. Some threads I know are going to be for entertainment, and some are for learning.

Imagine reading a science journal and having it be littered with "Yo son what's good etc.....) I'm not saying this place is that serious, but it does make a difference.

At the end of the day. It is what you say that matters most.

that shit used to get snoopster wound up pretty hard, very petty. I've done it myself twice here but both times only after the idiot in question actually challenged my intelligence, I think if you're going to attempt to ridicule someones IQ you'd better have your own shit in line first.

I'd noticed that he was banned and his profile eliminated, so past tense would be correct when referring to him, not that I'm trying to correct your grammar.......

and I stand corrected a bit as well, I dug through the posts (Super Duper Funny Pic Thread) here & found one of his & was able to access his profile page from there, but when looking him up in the members list it does not find him at all, so his profile's here but no access to it through onsite search engine.

I'm gonna go back and spell check a bunch of my latest posts in case he comes back.......
 
I wonder how many grammar nazi's were the recipients of wedgies, purple nurples, indian burns and the ever popular 'why are you hitting yourself'

i always forgo capitalization, but manage to puntuate and spell.
sometimes i need to read over misspellings to understand the context, but i'm more concerned with understanding than with a couple more minnits it takes to attain it.
