You act as if you've never been to a single other site on the internet...

I know what you mean. I find Gametrailers and Youtube to be the worst offenders. I was just searching for the Rhythm Heaven trailer on Gametrailers. I searched the front page for 'rhythm' and found no matches. I was about to give up when I remembered that it was Gametrailers and tried misspelling it. Sure enough, there was a trailer for 'Rythm Heaven' on the front page. *sigh*

I guess that's spelling and not strictly grammar, but the grammar on those sites is amazingly bad too. VGChartz is pretty bad as well. Remember folks, if it's a possessive, it's just i-t-s, but if it's a contraction, it's i-t-apostrophe-s. Something like, "I'll eat more food than Mariah Carey" means something entirely different to "I'll eat more food then Mariah Carey". Your and you're are different. There, they're and their are different. To, two and too are different. A lot is two (separate) words, unless you mean 'to set apart' (allot). As well, not aswell. In case, not incase. Sight and site mean different things. Sentence, not sentance. Separate not seperate. Try not to annoyingly split infinitives . Try not to use a preposition to end a sentence with . Oh, and please, diaereses on the second of two joined vowels split over two syllables. Lift your game, guys.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I don't speak English, I only speak Australia, so that could be my problem.

I'm not actually a nose bleed typist but... hey this is the internet and a forum we're free to display messages the way we want to. It's not like I'm failing English proficiency because I'm not sticking to the standards. Besides I'm done with that and I know dumb grammar when I see one.

I suggest a solution to this... Feel free to laugh at that grammar but keep it to yourself. He's got bad grammar, so that's his f*king problem if he still carries that outside.

Tsk, tsk.

You did well but you made one mistake; You only put a single exclamation mark. The minimum requirement is three in a row, and you get extra marks if you put a '1' in there as well.

 

Here is how she should have done it:

 

lolololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ TWRoo

I was joking. It's impeccable. And there is a "z" in apologize in America.
