There, Their, They're. Then, Than.

I'm sorry. All I see is .

Probably because either you can't read it because the words are too complicated, or maybe you can read the individual words but you can't string them together to form a meaning.

Are you trying to imply that I am uneducated?

Are you making that assumption because I am not as arrogant as you are?

No, I'm just trying to piss you off. Can't tell if I've succeeded or not though.

Ok I added public in there once I put free. Sure private school is not free. School is mandatory. But then again you're right there are exceptions to every rule. I guess you are just one of those exceptions right?

Your lack of punctuation bothers me more than whether someone uses then or than.

:toohotforspicy: anyone?

Did you have 1/2 decaff?

I don't drink coffee. But I see in a LARGE Pepsi in my future. Too many late nights this week.

That's a lie.

 

[BS Gal]

That's a lie.

Okay.

 

[Tinkerbell]

That's a lie.

Soooo.... you're saying that BSGal is lying about lack of punctuation bothering her? How would you know?

On another note, I'm sure you can understand that you ruffled some feathers with your post. (Am I getting my there, they're, and their 's right??). Instead of just posting "Hey, here's some cool information for everyone...." you post more like "Hey you bunch of idiots, since you're so stupid, let me tell you how it is..."

And why doesn't spelling matter as much as proper use of words? Doesn't that also indicate your level of intelligence?

We are products of the Santa Clara County school system. We are smart.

Yes, that must be it.

That depends. An occasional typo will cause a misspelling but if it is indeed a typo, the person probably knows the correct spelling of the word, and they could fix it, given the chance. However, if someone completely has no idea how to spell a word, or spells it glaringly wrong every time, then that is on the same level as not knowing the proper word to use, yes. Of course if they have no idea how to spell a word they could look it up, and if they don't that's even worse.

I may be a liar, liar, pants on fire type of girl; HOWEVER, I don't think you are supposed to start a sentence with the word "however."

Of course, (note the comma after the word "course"), I could be wrong.

You could be wrong you could be right. Maybe it's debatable. It's not clear. But, the misuse of these words is quite clear to me. And to anybody who knows better. There's nothing to debate when the wrong word is used. It's just wrong, thats it.

Have you considered the possibility that I don't care? At least I don't come across as blatantly ignorant or uneducated. You do know public school for grades k-12 is mandatory? And free?

Do you know public school for grades k-12 is mandatory? :fixed:

The way you have it written above would be a statement. You do not need a question mark. I just got done correcting a bunch of second grade work. They nailed the punctuation every time.
