    Thank you... I get heartily sick of seeing pedants on chatboards. If somebody asks for a critique of their posting then fine - if not, keep quiet.


    Ummm I did check. I did not think I was attacking anyone personally. Apparently, you are offended. I apologize for that. :flowerforyou:

    I don't think this post should be offending anyone. It is a good lesson. Here are some mistakes that people use often. I am no english major but some members might want a small lesson. I also rarely capitalize i in the middle of a sentence, in that matter i never use upper case letters at all except when autocorrect does it for me

    Their-belongs to
    They're - they are
    There- place, like over there

    Your- belongs to you
    You're- you are

    Could have (could've) and would have (would've) not could of or would of

    Loose adjective
    Lose verb

    Affect verb
    Effect noun

    Deer an animal
    Dear a term of affection

    Accept to accept something
    Except exception


    Edited because i posted before i was finished.

    "Very unique " "your lovely" etc

    Ha - I agree. When that happens I just want to yell: "My lovely WHAT??? Finish your sentence!!!" :laugh:


    / carefully checks for proper use of "your" in MY sentence...
    // whew
    /// :wink:

    Don't forget that your belt may be loose if you're losing weight.


    The your vs. you're thing is my pet peeve of spelling errors!

    I can't bear 'would of'/'could of' etc. It's HAVE, people! (Amy's head explodes with rage.) (Not literally.)
    lol this cracked me up:laugh:

    An English teacher recently told me the reason people say "could of " or "would of". We say contractions in every day speech. Most people are saying "could've".

    There is your worthless info for the day. :wink:

    Really proper grammar? I thought the English teacher was telling me it was incorrect. Thanks for the lesson. I did google it and it can be used.
