Grammar
:knowledge or usage of the preferred or prescribed forms in speaking or writing: She said his grammar was terrible.

Use it; and yes it even matters in the tavern.

Then again no need to be a grammar Nazi.

Just a friendly reminder from a tired samy.

Indirect questions


I would call that a direct question.

You're wrong. The statement: I assume you meant to replace 'type' with time. is a statement. (QED).

Compare with: I wonder if it will rain today. Indirect question, punctuated as such.

Also, I don't see why people couldn't take the time to download maybe a 200kb download add-on for their browser that has spellcheck on it. At least people would take the type to write somewhat good so spell check knows what they're trying to say.


These days you don't even have to download the spellchecker, unless you're using the horrible browser known as Internet Explorer.

I'm going SS all over the place. Seriously, there is SS everywhere. Someone should really clean this SS up.*


It'll be hard cleaning up the Schutzstaffel, Hitler's personal guard. Seeing as we aren't warriors of any kind.

Eh... really, I use grammar, yet I don't like using grammar. I only use it because it makes the post look professional, if anyone has seen me on chat, you will see my grammar goes on and off.

Let the crack down begin. You have three misspelled words. Now since I do not want to chide my time, I will kill you immediately.

Good.

Hmm grammar is important because it could also show what kind of person you are. For example wouldn't it be annoying if I typed like this: I h8 when you did dat. It's annoying for me but not hate okay.

I'll admit it - I make a lot of mistakes when typing. However, I don't believe that poor grammar is a reason to hate someone. As long as they make an effort then it would be foolish and cruel to hate them for trying...

Well if you hate someone just for that then well you get it. Grammar can be non sense to some and treasure to another.

I don't hate people when they have horrible grammar. I just tend to think they have inferior minds.
