    Re: Spelling & Grammar Online

    The spelling and grammar issue used to bother me too. I usually overlook it now. What bites me is when I misspell a word even after I've been very, very careful. I usually type my posts in Word before I transfer them over so it can catch some things that I might miss.

          I always use the word your instead of you're. Hahaha does that bug or what? Plus I am to lazy to put a ' in contractions. Consequently my right pinkie isnt as strong as it should be and when I flick meat from my teeth at my friends with that finger it doesnt have nearly the distance or velocity it should. P.S. I love run on sentences
          I do however know what a dangling participle is and if you dont know what one is then....dont look it up because its really useless information, okay thats it.

            Excuse me while I wipe down my monitor. Har!! Tommy.....you are tres amusant. Yes, you are. I don't think you should be talking about dangling participles in mixed company though.

              Haha no doubt there is a clause in the TOS that excludes the talk of seductive sounding grammar!

                This thread reminded me of an interesting thing I read a couple of years ago:

                  WHOA..... that played tricks on my eyes, but I did read it perfectly.

                  OK, talking about loose and lose.... what about weight and weighed?
