GODDAMMIT BizB!!!  You beat me to it by mere minutes.   :x

Check out the Simpson's thread for my little grammar lesson (there's even a good reference to you in it).

Topic: Geekery Grammar Gall of Shame

Should this be hall or wall of shame.  I couldn't find a definition to suit a gall of fame.

Sorry but I couldn't resist.  Especially with this being the topic.

Old enough to know better.
Apparently not wise enough.

And who says with age come's wisdom?

I thought effrontery fit quite well.

effrontery:
1.   shameless or impudent boldness; barefaced audacity: She had the effrontery to ask for two free samples.
2.   an act or instance of this.

I don't really hate kids there just annoying.

I know I was a kid, and I was a horrible little brat.

Umm I don't cry(anymore), I cook, and I fix the computers in my house.

Made even worse by the fact that it was posted after my grammar lesson...I even used examples and everything!

lol And yet they let there children watch the news which talks about people getting shot, killed, and or raped 90% of the time.

What is the world coming to that people are getting shot, killed, and or raped 90% of the time and only have 10% of their time to themselves?

Crap... I knew I was going to show up here sooner or later. :cry: Well, I guess its time I find a better Spell Check. Maybe get a plug-in thats a bit better then the stock stuff that Mozilla comes with. *shrugs* Or reread them like 3 times over... yeah, that could help.

My process for making a comment goes like this.

1) Click reply
2) Type comment
C) Read comment
IV) Make changes
V) Re-read comment
F) Re-read the comment to which I'm replying and make sure that I didn't misunderstand anything said
7) Preview the comment to make sure it's pretty on screen
Ocho) Call pbsaurus and read the comment to him so that I don't have to read it to him later when I'm doing my community service requirement by helping the illiterate
Then, and only then, if I still believe that the comment is funny or relevant or thought inspiring...
9) Click Post
10) Pat self on back


Maybe you should adopt that methodology.

I don't think I'll be calling any one, but yes, it sounds efficient in keeping myself from being a fool. I prefer to read it aloud though, grammatical errors are easier for me to understand when spoken. Barbaric, yes, I know.  8-)
