I could of posted correctly in here, but I couldn't be arsed.
I am seriously glad someone finally pointed out this malignant grammatic growth that has been undermining the lingual fabric of this forum.
Grammar lesson? I'm gonna fail then...
There will be times where even if you know what the person is saying, that some of the rules should be used for clarity. Take the classic example, "yesterday i helped my uncle jack off the horse"
Quote from NotAnIllusion :yesterday i helped my uncle jack off the horse

Considering that Jack isn't a typical Finnish name I'd say your family needs to invest in a couple of mares, friend.

Considering that Jack is a typical English name I'd say you need to invest in a (new?) pair of glasses, friend.
Yup, this really pisses me off too.

I used to be a really serious grammar and punctuation Nazi but I had to stop because I fighting a losing battle.

It's purely down to the slang and abbreviations. People grow up saying "should've" so they don't know that it's "should have" and not "should of". Although if they knew anything about the English language they would punch themselves repeatedly in the face.
Our man Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave. I shall speak on his behalf.

Quoth the Bard:
"Share my lamentations, for thy language skills match not the scholar of yesteryear but the hick redneck yokul tramp of tomorrow"
One could argue that since in English you don't say words as they are written it doesn't matter how you spell them. OTOH all of you who intensionally mispell words should think of what kind af an example you set for us non-natives.
I always die a little from the inside when I see something which is spelled really wrong like: you could of maked you're tests gooder.

Quote from zeugnimod :OMG. :faint:

I'm drinking a Pepsi, or at least I was drinking a Pepsi, until I spat it all over my monitor. That is a classic right there.

I couldn't tell if it was done on purpose or not....

"To claim me/myself as his" would be correct. Enemy, that is.

"Seriously, if so many posters here use incorrect grammar, people will believe that they are right about it."


And Kalev, don't be afraid.
Many makes mistakes with english, so there should be an english teacher here on this forum.

I am terribly sorry for my mistake, as I am not a native English speaker, therefore I'm bound to make mistakes every now and then as I consider my written English good but not perfect.

Why do you have to be so dead serious?
Dunno. Sorry, actually.
I just got seriously pissed about you just making a laugh about this thread once again when i first posted in this topic.
Been negatively biased towards you ever since.
Meh, with no reason actually. If you can't beat them, join them. The illiterate bastards, i mean

Hope we're cool?
