This Board is Really Bad With Grammar

[darken65]

Is someone in here posting about my Grammar? Leave her out of this....and Grampar too!

As long as people use their cuss words correctly, everything is just fine and dandy with me.

It's not inappropriate capitalization in a title. Have you guys ever titled a school paper, letter, email, etc.?

I thought it was the beginning of the sentence you continued in the body of the post. Now I'm really confused. I think I'm just going to have to report this to the Hoop's grammar committee for a ruling.

It's a fucking sports board! If you want to be a stickler for grammar, I suggest hitting The New York Times Arts and Leisure section. WARNING: It will bore the shit out of you!

I guess there's a problem with me leavin off the g at the end of words that end in ing. And that I use a lot of double negatives, and when I speak I sometimes add r's to words. I warsh my damn truck with pride.

I ain't askin nobody for nothing.

Would that qualify as a triple negative?

't ain't the pussy and 't ain't the ass hole.

That's why the area between the hunk of meat bewteen the pussy and asshole is called the taint.

The point is...if you know the correct word to use why not use it? All you people that say "I know proper grammar but I'm on a board so I don't care". So are you saying you are choosing to deliberately use the incorrect word? That just sounds dumb as hell. I'm sick of seeing idiots use "there" when they mean "their" or "they're" when they mean "there". Or "to" when they mean "too". It's ridiculous how stupid and pathetic some people are with grammar and I guarantee they write the same way on here as they do a graded paper.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm ain't sure if I don't know

Personally, I'm more annoyed at grown ass men typing on a full qwerty keyboard in text lingo. Pretty sure that shit went out the window with the Nokia Brick.

Beat you to it.

Language is always evolving. Dictating its colloquial usage to a great degree stands in the way of its natural evolution and progress. - For reference, go read the King James Bible. - Thus, while you think you're upholding a standard, you're actually just a pebble in a great river and the water just keeps flowing past you.

Or, simplified, 'You ain't so smart.'

than and then...my only pet peeve and I know I should just let it go...

My pet peeve is people not knowing the difference between you're and your.

I type with my thumbs often when I'm on the mobile and shit is just easier.

If I'm typing for work or anything in the business sector, I'll be sure to proof read. Thank's for your concern.

Are you serious with this thread? I use voice to text with my iPad when I post and I never go back and correct the voice recognition mistakes. If the reader can understand the point, who cares? it's a sports forum.

Exactly. Not to mention posting a quick reply with a phone, where mistakes can happen with fat thumbs or auto correct. Besides I'm pretty sure some folks drink and post. As long as you get your point across, it's all good.

I doubt that anybody drinks and posts here.

Even with the basics. I'm not a grammar Nazi but come on. Everyone should know the difference between your and you're.... or their, there, and they're. The American educational system is a complete failure.

Can you guys take some pride and try not sounding like illiterate delinquents?

*rant over*

Your first sentence is a fragment.
