Sguy - yes, when you completely take the quote out of context it is an insult. Congratulations. You proved my point about English comprehension.

Euphoria - I agree. I don't need to really have long drawn out conversations. But cells are still necessary.

Sguy - What happens when you are driving down the highway and your engine poops out on you and you need a tow at 2am and the nearest exist are 2+ miles away? What happens when someone tries to mug you in the park at night and your badly injured and need medical attention. What happens when there is a work emergency and you need to be called in but are away from your home? Cells in this modern day is a necessity. They are a safety precaution.

It would be rather redundant to point out your spelling errors, when talking about english comprehension.


go for it. only error you'll find is you are and exits.

How about some sentence structure?


oh, don't have a leg to stand on with the spelling so you change it to grammar? LOL you sir are ridiculous. I wasn't aware this was an english class and I was turning in an essay to you. But I was aware that this is a public forum and reading comprehension is major when you want to communicate with the people on it. Mis-interpret simple sentences and what you are left with is you getting overly defensive. BTW - I'm in honor english and got a high B with my speech class. Only reason I didn't recieve an A is because the last speech was a group project and I was grouped with a lithuanian....

So feel free to put together proper sentences.

Ooh! May I take a stab at it?

1st part: 'yes' is the beginning of a sentence; it should be capitalized. That's the only mistake I catch there.

2nd part: I'd have to look up if 'cells' has replaced 'cell phones' in proper English, but otherwise, it's fine.

3rd part: 1st sentence is a run-on. Remove some 'and's and add commas as appropriate. You mentioned 'exits', but missed that the proper use of the time would be '2 AM' (though with technically smaller capitals than the normal font) or '2 a.m.'. (Note that a space is present in both versions.) 2nd sentence is also a run-on, but not as bad as the first. Remove the first 'and' and again, comma as needed. You caught the 'you're' issue, but missed that it was a question, and needs to end with a question mark, not a period. In the next sentence, I would put a comma before 'but', however, I don't think that's actually required for correct usage. Continuing, again, I'd have to look up 'cells', but either way, it is a plural word, and should be paired up with 'are', not 'is', which you did get correct in the final sentence.

Sorry, but your challenging someone brought out the grammar nazi in me.


But what about spelling? Again, I'm not too worried about punctuation here.

So the Elite is better value for money out of the box then, like I've always maintained. And that's the one I'm getting, for that exact reason.

Actually, I am. There is a difference between trying to nit-pick someones grammar and spelling and telling someone they can't grasp a simple sentence.

Oh, spelling was fine, it was the your/you're issue that pulled out my grammar being. That's actually a grammar issue, not a spelling issue.

Crap, topic... topic...yeah! I don't see MS letting Sony go full steam ahead with their price cut and steal the holidays unanswered. They know they have to do a price cut, even if it is just the Elite going to $299.99.
