English 101: College vs Collage.

[CollinsE90]

75% of the thread is asian

I could care less is just a slang way of saying it, particularly in the South. Same as how northerners say certain things totally different than the grammatically correct way.

This is a car forum, if you have to pick apart grammar you literally have no life and need a lesson in humility.

Not everyone lives in the same part of the country, certain areas talk a certain way.

How dare you sir. I guess there is a small group of us that actually read what we write before we post, and if there are errors we correct them so what we're saying makes sense and doesn't make us look like an idiot..

Do you also use perfect grammar when texting? Do you pause for effect when you are on the phone? I understand writing with correct grammar because you feel the need too, but some people write the way they talk. There is a giant difference in an illiterate, and someone who makes a small mistake and you point it out because god forbid someone accidentally crossed words and you just can't let it go.

Not to mention making a thread about it, like it will actually help people understand grammar and stop the mistakes. Rather makes you look like an ass.

You chaps seriously could not have been that dense to actually believe the intentional typo?

[jlspeed29]

stuff like this doesn't necessarily help
**although, he did spell "grammar" right! haha
also when typing things on the internet, i like to have the spell checker on Firefox on always, that way I dont sound like an idiot.

Perfect!


After that:

No, tomorrow's thread should be, "Appropriate selection of punctuation."

Suggested topics within punctuation:
-An ellipsis ("...") need not be used after every single damn sentence.
-Avoid using run-on sentences if you wish for your sentence to be read.
-Avoid the use of multiple exclamation marks; if I do not understand the emotions you are trying to convey after ten exclamation marks, the 11th is unlikely to sway my opinion.

Since we are on this topic, threads like this don't make sense. This is just my two cents.

[CoconutPete]

I am loving this thread. Then again I probably feel that with English as a second language.... if I can figure it out - anyone should be able to.

Although this isn't a confusion of words, milages is not a word.

[EDM92]

I hate when people say "loose" instead of "lose". I instantly deem any person who switches them a retard.
