Bad grammar.

[Reles]

I don't care about what I would class to be minor punctuation mistakes. As long as it's legible it doesn't matter to me. I do however care about teachers (teachers') punctuation mistakes, when they are teaching English. That is their job, (possibly semi-colon) if they can't do that job properly then they shouldn't be doing it at all. I used to frequently argue with my teachers about comma's (no apostrophe - it's plural). They would say: "You need a comma there". (invert these) I would say: Do I? Why is that? They'd say: "Because you need to take a breath there". (invert these) I would say: "No I don't". (invert these) And then I'd proceed to read whatever it was I'd written, without stopping for a breath where they said I would need to. I also believe that animal species (species') names should be given capital letters. I don't care who tells me that your (you're!) not supposed to, I'm still going to do it because I think it's correct! The only time I make a conscious effort to care about my punctuation is when I'm taking a test. It turns out that I'm actually very good at English when I try! Have fun correcting all this Shaun.

I knew there wasn't supposed to be an apostrophe in commas. But I put it there because I think the word commas looks weird without an apostrophe! An I think your wrong about me having to invert my discussion on commas.

Edit: Tomorrow, I'm going to correct every spelling/grammar error in this thead.

That should be "thread". I beat you to that one!

No, you're right Anaisa, there's no need for you to invert those. In America we do quotes differently, but since you're not from America then you shouldn't have to do it our way. :o

I'm not a grammar nazi because I'm absolutely horrible at grammar. I'd say if it sounds correct when reading it out loud, then that's all that matters to me.
