ROAR! I iz tha gramma po-lise!!!

[ducatimom]

Sorry guys, but I am going crazy here... :eek:

They're: They are...

Their: Belonging to them...

There: As opposed to here...

Example:

They're getting their gruel over there...


I've been going through these threads to see what others in the CO process are going through. Given that many are asking about the testing, I thought that my adding this might help for any grammar portion that might be part of it.

No, I'm not usually a snob. I just play one on forums! ;):D

Me not getted where your say. :p

Oh trust me, I have been accused of being a grammar-nazi on more than a few occasions. My personal favorite is when someone comes on here, typing like they are sending a text. If they can't make the differentiation, they can find another forum.

My pet peeve is the fictitious word "irregardless". People - THIS IS NOT A REAL WORD!!!!!!!! I hear even professionals and bosses say it.

Also "than" vs "then".

"Than" is comparative, as in "CoC is smarter than people who say 'irregardless'"

"Then" is used to sperate events by chronology, as in "First CoC hears someone say 'irregardless', then he goes and smacks them in the mouth"


Carry on....

Improper word usage makes it very difficult to read a post. It is also difficult to read a post when there is no proper capitalization, sentence structure or breaks in the post for paragraphs when the topic changes.

When I see a post that does not follow basic grammar rules, I ignore it entirely, wont even read it! LOL

@ Adamantine

+1

BTW, neither your custom user title follows proper capitalization and punctuation, nor "outta" in your location is a real word, I think. :D

Feel free to blame me for my English, it isn't my first language, by the way.

Yarp.

What is the deal with regardless/irregardless? If one uses irregardless, does it nullify regard?

Kinda like "Ain't no..."?

"I ain't no fool!"... Heh heh heh... ;)

"There ain't no nothing..." Soooooo... there really isn't anything? :p

Also, what is the deal with the pronunciation of "harassment"?

It is the act of "harass-ing" or is it the act of "harris-ing"? :confused:

Oh and its "You're welcome" not "Your welcome"
"You're" is a contraction for you are, therefore the saying is "you are welcome".
"Your" is a possessive pronoun and shows somebody owns something, like "This is your car"

The examples in this thread make my brain hurt.

Much like reading the questions in the "Ask a Cop" section.

On the bright side, this forum is far more intelligent than many others
I have been to.
