cue vgcats grammar nazi comic.

yur mum.

I think it was it on QGL ages ago that someone was trying to tell everyone that etcetera's abbreviation was ect and was abusing people for using etc

Dan, your gay. But not quite as gay as infi.
Then than tran what's the difference ? ... well 'cept the machette

How many nubs type duals instead of duels.
Practice ? Practise ?

Also gg for refencing a seppo site for the english language ... they can't even spell colour yet.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter, spelling and to a lesser degree grammar are artifacts.

English dictionaries didn't exist until the mid 18th century. And yet people managed to communicate fine, not to mention language changes.

His and he's (he is) also a problem.

The English language has its faults, but that doesn't mean we should throw it away, and it makes it far harder to read when people don't use the proper spelling of words.

Obes your a nub iz da trth k nuber then u mum

Obes, you're a newb, ok? It's true that you're newber than your mother.

While both statements are 100% accurate, I'd rather read books filled with what the second sentence represents than the first ... otherwise I'd feel like I was in New Zealand.

Also
people using is when they should be using are

ie there is a pair of birds there

when it should be

there are a pair of birds there

ie there is a pair of birds there

when it should be

there are a pair of birds there

is sounds better than are though :/

Your and you're make perfect sense...

Though then and than make no sense to me, I can't recall anytime I've used "than" in a written sentence.

Then again I got a SA in highschool english.

Also
people using is when they should be using are

One thing that REALLY s***s me is "of" instead of "have".

Isn't the proper english "should have" but 99.9% of people write/say "should of"?

Trog, perhaps you should use the type of literacy test like the one in KOL where you have to gain access before posting in the chatbox.

is sounds better than are though :/

No it doesn't you fool.

nah it does

Though then and than make no sense to me, I can't recall anytime I've used "than" in a written sentence.

If sucking cocks was something to be ashamed of, then Chub was ashamed to admit that he had sucked more cocks than your mother.

there are a pair of birds there

Yeah Jim and co are right, that is incorrect.

"Pair" is the focus here not "birds", so it's singular.

There is a pair of birds there.

The mistake people make is: There's some grapes over there

'Grapes' is the focus there, not 'some', so it should be: There are some grapes over there.
