a big fu to the spelling police.

what i mean is:
grammar is sometimes the difference between knowing your shit , and knowing you're shit.

that comma is as superfluous as a hardhat on dreads.

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.

right with you on the caps buddy.

anyways i'm not one to judge guy's on a few errers in their syntax and usage. no one likes a self-righteous shithead. that said, it can be tough to read shit written by grown-ass men who have less control of the language than the average sixth grader who writes in crayon and wears a helmet.

the ending of sentences in prepositions is something up with which i will not put.

this thread is all wrong anyway, we are still many months far from Festivus (fu), so it is too premature to be wishing a happy Festivus to any spelling police just yet.

oh, and Lex, your new plan is also weak; how do you think building a crappy ship help you to defeat superman? as if he were not able to fly away in danger of drowning... Lexi please.

Stoner4Life .. that joke you put in the joke thread is perfect for here ... ya shoulda posted it here dude :)



so good old Sven is making his way across the Harvard campus looking for the library, finally he decides to stop and ask another student "So where would the library be then?"

To which the snobbish student replied while looking down his nose at Sven, "At Harvard we do not end our sentences with prepositions!"

Sven though about it for a moment and said "Well, where would the library be then asshole......."

:biggrin::biggrin:

lex knows my secret . superman always wanted to be a pirate. this goody goody stuff aint no fun. lol

Me and SML go way back.

I was always the better speller growing up. Spelling Bs were not SMLs thing.
He has Gorgeous hair. Me none.
However I do have him beat in the style department.THIGHTS..C'mon.




Since the spelling police failed and the grammar nazis fizzled.

I have made arrangements to have some slutty STD laden pirate booty to be on board the ship.

It is true, I am trying to convert Supperman to the bad guy club, Buwahahaha

Besides, Me and Darth Vader have a bet going that I will win! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

We will make SML a bad spelling, card carrying bad guy yet. You'll see.

Hello all,

Well you may be correct on the Internet generation not caring.

Though I have pondered, as a result of reading threads such as these, if the wonder, the beauty, and the power of the written word that stirs our imaginations will ever survive. I understand that language will and must evolve but it would seem that a de-evolution might be taking place in the light of the information age.

Sad really because so much more can be said with proper structure and parsing.

No wonder our schools are crappy. Because we have allowed the standard to be lowered. By apathy and complacency we have become weak in the literate global marketplace. We are 23rd in world ratings....phuquing 23rd. This is totally unacceptable.

And don't get me started on basic mathematics. We, as a nation, have become so dependant upon calculators. Well, when I was in college there was a saying..."Garbage in, garbage out". Strange how that phrase seems so applicable? And what has become of our greatness as a result of barely literate citizenry?

I am no wordsmith by any means, but I strive to at least appear intelligent. Craft my words to impart what I mean to say and use the most precise and concise way of expressing my thoughts.

If you choose to settle for less, then by all means continue your trip through grammatical hell as you see fit. May it serve you well.

PS. Also, It really urinates me when I read words that make little to no sense and I have to decypher what it is you are trying to say.

Standing ovation...why people settle on ignorance is beyond me???

When I interviewed potential employees the FIRST thing I keyed on was their verbal and word command skills, any resumes with grammatical errors hit the circular file immediately!
