After being locked in another forum for this:

ex. - ThAh - ahEr
They're in the barn.
Their barns are on fire.
There is a barn on that hill.
There in the barn, you'll find, they're playing with their horse.

ex. - Articles, Game Names, and Tah-oo
I am playing AN rpg. You pronounce RPG with a vowel in front. So AN Ar-Pee-Gee.
I have an army of ZERG. Zerg are like fish.
I have an army of Xel'Naga. See above.
I have way too much work to do tonight for the two English projects.

ex. -Then, Than :: Ying Yang
I was playing in the park and then a black man asked me for money.
I am so much more cooler than you.
We then used teamwork more than the other team, and won!
Definition - Ellipsis ~ Guess... it's the *** or ... (Most people only use ... but it can be *** too!) It represents an understood omitted part of a thought.
Also as bonus; it's MORE FUN not funner.
Also it's more hot and more cold but due to popular use it was changed to either way of writting; I feel more hot than you. I feel hotter. (Around 1700s, It makes sense and it's the earliest example of slang cause a language to change that's well documented, in reference to incorrect usuages)

Guess what? I don't use the spell check button because I don't misspell words! I just use the backspace hack.



Edit: I am tired of seeing people mess up or not know how to use common words, ESPECIALLY then, than and the ellipsis. Also, I think this rant is allowed in this forum; correct?

Edit: added Yo-oh-or

ex.
I have to go to the dance with your sister.
You're so sexy when you're mad.
You're going to the dance with your sister?! The multiple end punctuation is allowed.

You didn't know that?

In elementry school; the teachers taugh kids to use an with words that start with vowels. It's actually words that start with vowels sounds.

Now in the sense of "I am playing a role-playing game," it's correct to use A and not AN. But AN referes to the abbreviation, which starts with a vowel sound.

Edit: It was locked because it was in the wrong forum fool. This is the NULL forum.

That's fine, you sir actually know a bit about English then. NOT THAN.

Despite your spelling errors (which to be honest... don't annoy me that much,) you know something about word meaning.

Newb: Your so gay u fag.
Me: I can't own a so, nor can a letter be gay, and finally a gay fag implies the straight sex orientation of the said subject.

Commas can be used in many "unneeded," instances, however they're most definitly allowed grammatically.

ex. I am, a man, a bird, and amazing, but that doesn't stop me, a man, bird, amazing, from being your friend. This sentence is not meant to make sense but rather show you how commas can be used. (Clauses)

NOT THAN ... refers to saying then instead of than. Something I covered earlier.

In my siggy the "," in "Women," refers to me pausing.


To be honest... I just got tired of people who have intelligent things to say and then completely ruin their thought (to me at least) by messing up grammatically or with spelling.

And yes, that initial post was a bit condescending but... how else is one to get a point across if most people ignore these said points?

And again, I really just felt like posting more than this really making me mad.

To be honest.. I just gave up caring... this post was a just for a laugh because so many people have a vague idea about these quwarks in the English language.

To me though... if one has any errors in what he says; I just can't take them that seriously (1 every now and then is ok, I make some too [I fix them in edits.]) If someone wants to be taken seriously or be respected or even look professional in REAL LIFE and on a forum they must know what they're saying. Thing like U, TEH, R, OMFG, and others are just no, no's.
