    I swear, I spelled grammar correctly when I made this topic.

    It's not so much incomplete as nonexistent.

    I notice thousands of mistakes made by nearly everyone on this forum.






    Also: Myspace, Otakuboards, AnimationInsider, "ooh! At my college, I notice most students write as if they're preschoolers enrolled in a special kids program."

    What the hell is wrong with US kids?
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I don't really care about real life, cause I tend to get over excited and talk like a three year old myself. But online, I keep complaining about my friends who never use the shift key. I mean come on, it's right there! SHIFT! CHRIS, SHIIIIIIIFT!

    the same thing that is wrong with a lot of our parents, judging from the grown-ups on my facebook.

    As much as I love to insult the US, I'm pretty sure a majority of people, regardless of country, rape their language over teh interwebs.


    "It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
    Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
    That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero.

    My Dad says "buzes" instead of "busses". It's a buz and not a bus. It gets me every time.

    It's more spelling than grammar, but it's a bit annoying when my norwegian friends butcher english. I know I'm no english wizard myself, but I think my spelling is pretty good when I see them trying to write.

    I've read something odd on Eyes On. I've decided to address the issue here. (clears throat with a loud irritating cough that causes everyone around me to turn and shush me)

    There is no such phrase as "it is such etc. true and true"; the phrase is THROUGH and THROUGH which basically means "it is what it is and nothing more/will not change."

    Also there's no such thing as a "tall-tale sign"; the term is "TELL-tale sign" expressing the fact that the SIGN TELLs the tale to follow. A talltale is a myth.

    It used to annoy me when Ackamoo would spell it like Masterbate. When you do something 4 times a day, the least thing you can do is spell it right.

    Not a single one of my fourteen-year-old sister's friends know what the hell this crazy word "you're" is. Almost every comment on her MySpace pictures if "omg your so pretty!"

    It drives me to madness.
