    Default In this thread we annoy each other by having a grammar competition.

    20 points - For correcting somebody's correction.

    10 points - Correcting somebodies spelling mistake.

    7 points - Correcting my points table.

    5 points - Filling in missing punctuation/Correcting punctuation.

    4 points - Giving me a good rule for point distribution.

    3 points - Pointing out that someone used a word wrong, then correcting it.

    3 points - Correction of incorrect capitalization.

    2 points - Correct a sentence that is more then 100 words long. ~ Bonus

    1 point - Make a statement written by yourself that is more then 20 words long, you may make one statement a day.


    When correcting a sentence make sure it says ##Correction:

    Points table:

    Momiji - 70
    Scrumpleberry - 20
    RubyLapiz - 8
    Akaria - 1

    Beginning statement:

    Lets get this game underway! It shall be fun, and educational.
    So, anybody up for it? I'd love some new rule ideas, you can even get points for ideas. (If I accept them)

    #Correction: In this thread, we annoy each other by having a grammar competition.

    Dependent clauses/prepositional phrases at the beginning of sentences = commatime

    Everything I corrected is in bold pink text.

    You spelled 'than' incorrectly twice, and that comma should be a semicolon. 25 points, please.

    ##Statement: Let's hear it for anal retentiveness! Let's all do our very best to correct every incorrect statement, so in the end, everyone will hate us!


    EDIT: ##Correction: Edit: btw By the way, me correcting the rules was a joke I was joking when I corrected the rules , ; i I don't expect points for that. x)

    I don't really think I'm eligible for points at all, so far. I just enjoy being an ass.

    I made subtle mistakes in my post on purpose, but at least I tried to hide them. ; 0

    Oh, so I did get points for that? In that case, I should get 10 more points for correcting scrumpleberry, because she misused two marks of punctuation. Since there are no apparent points for correcting capitalization and such, I should still get the points for correcting the punctuation.

    Also, and I made a statement with more than 20 words. One point for that, as well.

    EDIT: ##Point Idea: Correction of incorrect capitalization: 3 points?

    I implemented the new rule after I gave you points Mr. Momiji.
    So it's fair.

    #statement: I just wanted to say that I am very pleased with the way this game is going, although it needs a little bit more original content in the form of #statements.

    #correction: I implemented the new rule after I gave you points Mr. Momiji, so it's fair.

    #statement: Watch your dependent clauses! They don't deserve their own sentences.

    ##statement: Not that I actively want to, but I think if I tried to join in on this thread, I'd have a grammar breakdown and throw myself off the roof of the airport.
