That shouldn't be a semi-colon. Don't try and be fancy.
''you can't form the list within quote marks''
You mean 'quote quoting marks' ? That sentance sure as hell doesn't make sense.
''Here is Jay520's:
1. Posters being natural to another language.
2. Posters ignorance.
3. Posters plain laziness.''
You mean 'Poster's' right?

Anyways, good show. I don't really give a shit. I'm not English first language, but I think I'm ok at it. Don't care about spelling errors and the like. What does piss me off is poor logic.
I just made the post because I didn't like the idea behind the thread. You probably quoted me because you didn't like the idea behind my post

You are correct about the semi-colon, my apologies.
No I did not mean "quote quoting marks". You were originally quoting mistakes made by Jay520, you made a list of two mistakes which in his text were separate, then you put quote marks around the pair, thus you formed the list of his mistakes within quote marks.
And no, it should in fact be "Posters'..." because it is the plural possesive, so we were both wrong. (My excuse is that the mistake was originally made by Jay520 himself  )
It wasn't that I didn't like the idea of your post, I could tell (though it can be difficult to over teh interwebz) that your intention was more satirical than simply to correct Jay520's mistakes... I just wanted to continue what could become a neverending tunnel of quotes if we let it.
Given that English is not your first language, you are a good example of how poor the education system in the UK is for language. Many British people have trouble with English grammar, and on top of that would probably stuggle to count to ten in French. (I know a little French, but wouldn't be able to get by in France without a phrase book, and my German is limited to counting to 10, and being able to say "I love you")

This exchange was very amusing - thanks.
Just shows that you can argue with someone on VGChartz and still do it in good spirits
