guilty on the addictive front! And this from a stickler for grammar and spelling! I make tons of mistakes too, and it bothers me when I do it as well as others!

Spelling and grammar are dying skills. No one in the younger generation seems to care. Sad.

This thread is addicting.

Nelson says HA HA to you, bway.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 6/6/06 at 10:28am

Can't he at least say ha, ha?

Nelson says to use commas correctly yet sparingly.

Well, to him I says, "fie! A pox upon you and your house!"
And then I spit.

I don't think you want to spit on Nelson.

Seriously.

I could sit on him and squash him. I highly doubt he's a threat.

Whatever, runt.

CanMay I toss in "hopefully" for most-abused-word status? (damn hyphens...I'm never sure if I get those right) I mean, I use it wrong at times, too. But still.

etf: Another common grammar mistake.

This is my new favorite thread.

Mister Matt, thanks for the link. I had actually searched for that thread but I couldn't come up with the right combination of search words to find it and I had forgotten you began it.

bway, shall I cut and paste my apostrophe lesson here?

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 6/6/06 at 11:35am

Are we trying to consolidate?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/6/06 at 11:39am

Don't you think that's wise?

I'd be much happier if so many paragraphs didn't begin with "Anyways."

Please?

Well, given some people's ability to simultaneously read 60 threads about Rent and the new Les Miz cast, I imagine that multiple threads on grammar can only help. The more they see it, the more inclined they might be to actually opening one up.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/6/06 at 11:45am

Anyways, I think it's dropped off the first page, that's why I was suggesting it.

Good god, Rath, you're good enough at bumping threads, just bump it back up!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/6/06 at 11:47am

Bitch.

Stop offending Tobey's ears. He doesn't like cursing almost as much as he hates bad grammar.

P*ssy.

My mother used to confuse "nauseous" and "nauseate".
