Please tell me that's not really how you spell "probably."

...You have alot of great posts...

"Alot" is not a word.

what they're native language is.

You mean "their."

The use of a coma...

"Comma," not "coma."


This is why we don't (or shouldn't) do this here. As a collective, dvxuser members and internet users at large have a crappy grasp of the English language. Get over it.

 

[DevonKrain]

I dont know what they're native language is.

What? No corrections?

 

[Tom Marshall]

That's probably how he spells probably.

This is now a 5-star thread.

 

[DevonKrain]

You were slow on that Edit, Jared. Think faster next time.

"Alot" is not a word.

I dunno...

That page states "lot" and then a synonym of "a lot" .. but I don't see "alot" anywhere as a valid word.




Oh, and what version of English as we using here? British, American, Canadian, Australian...

[DevonKrain]

It's a word Mikko. I looked it up. It's a "jet or current of water or cleaning solution into a bodily cavity".

Go read it again.

EDIT

What Mikko said.

 

[DevonKrain]

Why would I want to post a link to a page that actually supports my argument? That would destroy my record.

Dammit, I was even trying to find a lot of errors from Devon. Couldn't find any

 

[DevonKrain]

Brits call a "hood" a "bonnet" and a cigarette a "fag".

We are speaking American English.

I find amusing that every thread Como (I guess Comeau now, but he'll always be Como in my heart) has strated, ever, always turns into everyone first making fun of his grammar, and then making fun of each other's grammar.

Denial is just a river in Egypt... and alot is just a town in India. :laugh:





And guys, everyone play nice now.

[DevonKrain]

LOL. Como for the win.

You sound like a peach, sync.

 

[DevonKrain]

Billy, my favorite are the people that get all bent out of shape over it. (not you)

 

[Tom Marshall]

I still feel the itch to correct grammar. May I?

 

[mikkowilson]

Depends on who's it is

[DevonKrain]

Tommy, that is mostly Jared's domain, but it is alright with me. You go ahead.

 

[Jared Meyer]

Depends on who's it is

"Whose," perhaps? :evil:

Go for it Tommy- anything's game in this thread. Bonus points if you correct someone who tried and failed to properly correct someone else...

 

[mikkowilson]

Touché Jared. Well played. :thumbsup:

You know what is wrong Devon? People who have the biggest ego, have the smallest BRAINS! Are you really as nasty as you appear?

But I wrote it in American English that is why you were able to read it.

The use of a conjuction to begin a sentence is usually frowned upon and has only recently been an acceptable means to begin a sentence.
