Grammar edumacation
 
I can't help but face palm myself after seeing what some people are posting.

Here's a quick tutorial:

You're- means "you are" (you're stupid for not knowing this)
Your- refers to something that belongs to the person you're talking too(your reef tank)

Their- when something belongs to someone (their reef tank)
There- referring to a place (look over there)
They're- means "they are" (they're really nice people)

We're- means "we are" (we're really nice people)
Were- past tense of "to be" (they were just here)

This is a period. It allows the reader to know when one sentence finishes and when the next is about to begin

I think the biggest problem here is most users are posting from there mobiles now, my phone defaults to t9 word and has a stupid spelling correction mode.

Lose - To come to be without. ( I hope I don't lose my wedding ring when I go swimming in the lake. )

Loose - Not fastened, restrained, or contained. ( I'm searching for loose change around the house, so I can buy a coffee on my way to work. )

Periods are not required got lists, and a comma before "and" is not required either

plus you just totally missed a period in your post

The joys of having all this technology! But wait why doesn't it work!?
http://damnyouautocorrect.com/13603/...cs-first-year/ This was a pretty good laugh and a great example of auto correct's bad word choice. Some in fact most are probably fake, but I can for one say that I have asked my wife to find my good shirt, and it corrected to "Good ****"

MarkoD 12-07-2011 09:58 PM

"Grammar- Something people should be forced to learn, even if they are stupid. It is also something that makes people on-line think you are a stuck up bastard."

I love it

reefwars 12-07-2011 10:00 PM

so i would send :" hey razi buddy, what time are we showing up on site tomorrow??"

he would get: " hey nazi buddy, what time are we shwing up on site tomorrow"

HAHAHA IM LIKE OMGWTF!!! I LOLZ evry tyme i sees ppl rite like there 15 year old girlz and dont use eny puncuation so plz dont do it OK BAI!!!

There is spell check on your iPhone and computer. Use it. You've made it at least past grade 3, use some brain matter (as painful as that may be). If I get to meet you in real life and you type like this, I might slap you for being retarted... yes, that's even worse than being retarded. Just saying...:twised:
