Bend over and i will show you greater win
Many LOLZ thx 4 them
Oh, you are sooo sued!
Me, too.
yesss. grammar fail, ftw.
don’t you just hate people who nitpick about grammar
The term is ‘grammar Nazi’ and no, I don’t hate them (us?) because the slaughter of a language is much worse for one’s eyes than seeing someone being corrected. Also, no punctuation makes for bad grammar. ^ I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?
Aren’t you glad I’ve given you a dose of Grammar today?
“I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?”
i’m not a grammar nazi, but don’t you mean:
I’m thinking you’re in need of a question mark, aren’t you?
epic lawlz.
I’m thinking it’s more a need of a dash or perhaps semicolon to clarify, as in “I’m thinking you need a question mark–aren’t you (thinking the same thing)?”
Technically the use of the comma is correct, but it could be replaced with another form of punctuation to avoid confusion.
Pseudo-grammar FAIL
At least MY grammar is very goodish.
Mine are much more gooder than yours!
Not for reel! Me gramers AN sppelings ar moar betar dan yourses is!
“I think you need a question mark, don’t you/do you not?”
It’s called “muphry’s law.” When correcting grammar mistakes, you are bound to make some yourself. The more important the document or message being corrected, the bigger the mistake will be.
Case in point - “Muphry’s Law”
rofl
“I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?”
I’m thinking you need a “don’t you”, don’t you?
“I’m thinking you need a “don’t you”, don’t you?”
You are incorrect, Major.
“I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you [thinking you need a question mark]?” and “I think you need a question mark, don’t you [think you need a question mark]?” are both correct, but what you propose is not.
“I am thinking” matches “aren’t you” but not “don’t you”.
“I [do] think” matches “don’t you” but not “arent’ you”.
I think you both need to STFU, don’t you?
Awww… someone’s feeling insecure about their intellect… how cute.
Win XD
if (grammer != intellect) {
for(int i = 0; i < 0xFFFFFFFF; i++) {
printf(”HAHA you FAIL!”);
}
}
i expressed my feeling that you failed in code because i am a programmer, and i know a lot of programmers who are vary smart, but just can’t spell or grammer vary well.
$davidspost = “I can’t spell the word grammer”;
function grammarFilter($davidspost)
{
$bad_grammar = array(”grammer” => “grammar”,
“gr@mm3r” => “grammar”,
“gramer” => “grammar”,
“gramar” => “grammar”
);
foreach ($bad_grammar as $key=>$value)
{
$davidspost = preg_replace(”/”.$key.”/Uis”, $value, $davidspost);
}
return $davidspost;
}
echo grammarFilter($davidspost);
———————————————-
Hmm…I don’t appear to have that problem.
Indentation fail?
“I am thinking” is not at all parallel to “aren’t you?”. There is too much implied to make it a complete sentence. “I am thinking you are in need of a question mark, are you not? would be a better solution.
Why would you capitalise grammar but not grant the same honour to ‘grammar Nazi’ [sic], which would most probably count as a proper noun? Shall I go into this mess of a sentence: “I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?” No? Thank you, aren’t I.
I suggest you keep practising your shenanigans at home before challenging teh Intarwebs.
So are grammar Nazis anti-semantic?
Are grammar Nazis anti-semantic?
And capitalization and punctuation…
and starting a sentence with and…
Recursive fail.
Lmao, he owned himself.
No. Because then I would have to hate myself.
But, since you mentioned nitpicking, I might mention that you forgot both capitalization and ending punctuation in your post.
You’re welcome.
LOL
lolz
Um.. I think you’ll find it’s spelled ‘welkumq’. The Q is silent.
LOL
If that was a question, it should end with a question mark. ritard!
It’s “riitard.” Retard.
Make sure that your quotation marks are used properly. True quotation marks should only be used to signify that you are QUOTING something exactly as someone prior has. Also, make sure that a comma is used to indicate a pause in the sentence rather than fracturing your ideas with misused periods. In addition, puctuation within either type of marks would only be a period if it were the end of the sentence containing the quote, whereas this reference includes further address after the emphasized example. The word ‘retard’ would only be capitalized if it were the name of addressee or other pronoun. If you decide to emphasize a single word or prase, apostrophes at either end will work, i.e.
IMPROPER: “It’s “riitard.” Retard.”
PROPER: It’s ‘riitard,’ retard.
Aw fuck it! Somebody’s just going to find some way to correct something I wrote, anyway.
“ritard!” = spelling fail, one word pseudo-sentence fail, and politically correct fail. The proper term is “mentally retarded.”
You fail.
Subjunctive case, anyone?
Fuck you.
Eloquent
Indubitably.
No, I don’t. People who are too lazy/stupid to use proper sentence structure, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are my pet peeve.
