    Clean up your English!

    That's right! I want to see some better grammar, sentence structure, and spelling on this board!

                    Let's not forget the whole your/you're thing.

                    S-P-O-N-S-O-R
                    NOT "sponser" or "sponcer".

                    Who could forget the then/than thing which is not at all complicated.

                    Examples:

                    I'll drink some beer, THEN throw up.

                    I drink more beer in a day THAN you do in a month.
                    I like pie.

                        There's also to and too..

                        proper usage:

                        to: I have to go somewhere.

                        too: There are too many items in your basket.

                                            English lessons:

                                            BESTIALITY/BEASTIALITY
                                            "bestiality" correct.
                                            "beastiality" incorrect.

                                            HAVE/OF
                                            "I could have" correct.
                                            "I could of" incorrect.

                                            EFFECT/AFFECT
                                            "I effected a change in the department" means "I brought about a change in the department."
                                            "I affected a change in the department" means "My input had an impact on the change in the department."

                                            "She spoke to great effect" means "Things happened because of what she said."
                                            "She spoke with an affect" means "There was something idiosyncratic or strange about her manner of speaking."

                                            This is so much misused English on this board, one hardly knows where to begin. However, I find that many of those from non-English speaking countries have a better grasp of the language. Perhaps because their textbooks are more oriented toward teaching than embodying diversity.

                                                Yeah I'm sure people care about grammar, sentence structure, and spelling on GFY

                                                  Ok, here's my contribution. This is an English grammar rule that has been so battered and abused that even the literary elite often make the mistake.

                                                  When referring to hypothetical events, use "were" and not "was"

                                                  INCORRECT: "If I was 20, I would kick your ass."
                                                  CORRECT: "If I were 20, I would kick your ass. "

                                                  INCORRECT: "If I was you, I'd start running."
                                                  CORRECT: "If I were you, I's start running."

                                                  If you want to look this up, look for the "past subjunctive' form of "to be".

                                                  Many people don't like the sound of that (I do) but it is correct. Of course, what is correct english is highly subjective. Not that long ago, spelling wasn't even standardized. Samuel Johnson's Dictionary, published in 1775, began the process of English spelling standardization.

                                                    I'd say that 25% of the guys and girls in here come with a background in teaching.

                                                        Marty, you're right!

                                                        I graduated with a BS in physics in 1996. I taught high-school (calculus) for a year. Needless to say, teachers are poor! I knew I couldn't live my life that way.

                                                        I formed an internet marketing company with a friend from college and my first two clients were adult companies. I saw the money and became interested in this business right away.

                                                        At the same time, I received a job offer from Dean Witter. So I sez .. "Dean Witter? Porn? Dean Witter? Porn?"

                                                        I made my decision and never looked back. It was the correct one.

                                                          Speaking of incorrect, what's the deal with using "prolly" instead of probably. It drives me crazy.

                                                                      Calling a male a "masseuse" (feminine form of "masseur") is always a laugh for me.

                                                                      I suppose the confusion over weird/wierd is that it's an exception to the "i before e except after c" rule.

                                                                      What gets me is people who can't pin down common words they must see just about every day.

                                                                      My favorite misspelling was the truck I saw parked outside a house that said "Joe Schmoe (that part I made up) Plumming, Heating, Air Conditioning." Jeez, when you don't even know how to spell your own profession!
                                                                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Does it annoy you or do you ignore it? I am compelled to send the offender an email correcting them, but I'm not getting paid to do it, so fuck it. LOL
