Is anyone else following the new "grammar" rant on BYC? Almost every thread of that type seems to have been locked eventually. I wonder how long this one will last?

Hopefully this thread will not last long because I HATE it when people point out my mistakes...especially in a public forum (I have plenty of room in my PM box if it is necessary for me to fix something). I already get enough of my faults pointed out to me at home! :hit

Don't worry, PP, you are in the majority....we ALL mistakes now and again with our spelling and grammar~we get excited and just must get an idea down in type! It happens....doesn't mean someone is stupid, just not turning in a thesis that day to their college professor! :lol: :lol: :)

Makes my jealous. My thread there got deleted before I could even see all the fighting.

The current one is staying pretty tame. I think the people that would be offended are staying away from it.

Pam,

Do you want me to request that it be locked? If you do give me a PM and I will.
Or you could just not pick on any of my typing!

Someone picking on my grammer or typing wouldn't bother me in the lest...LOL...it just doesn't bother me.

see how I typed that above...might drive some crazy. Me, I never bother about how people type when I am reading the forum. But I will catch mistakes anywhere else...on me and others..LOL

I think speaking words improper makes me wince like nails on a chalboard.

Tony says "gant"----Um...I think he means gaunt. He says when super hungry he gets that "gant" feeling.....hhmm....it is gaunt isn't it??? I have to look that up but every time he says it I just shudder!

Now, that's a novel idea!! (Meaning, that is not the way it has usually gone over at BYC when it comes to this type of thread.)
