There is some literary douchebaggery going on here. First of all I doubt many people here have the background in language to really be in the finger pointing chair, I know I don't. My freaking English instructor in my Mechanical Engineering Degree needed to look things up from time to time. Not to mention there is differences depending on where your English is coming from. Go to England and see if your commanding view of language gets you far there. The second issue with the topic is we are Canadian, there is a plethora of diversity in this Country. Now many will say that you need to learn the methods of the country you live in, which is true to some point. Hopefully there aren't people like that when you travel abroad and are unfamiliar with the customs and language.

There were a lot of "you's" in there that are not directed at anyone. Speaking in generalities.

This thread is aimed towards those who dont know the easy stuff. such as the difference between your and you're. I doubt your instructor ever looked up something so basic

p.s. I'd like to break the 1000 post mark already

Those concepts were not always basic to you either. But I appreciate you taking the time out out your day to grade our essays on Canreef.

I dont understand why you're taking this all so seriously and why you seem so offended by this.
