[spelling]correct use of the language is important[punctuation] (18)

1 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6337 05:50

I have, in the past, been called by others on this board and elsewhere, a 'grammar nazi'.  I do make an effort to correct other's spelling and punctuation mistakes, however I never do it with the intention of shaming the language offender over such a trivial matter.  My aim is only to assist fellow members of this online community in perfecting their communication skills.  Many of you have gone to great length to improve yourselves in this respect and I feel that I can assist you further by making these little corrections.  Unfortunately many people are insulted by this, maybe they feel I am making light of their deficiencies or maybe they have had unpleasant language instructors in the past, I don't know.  Please be assured that I have no negative intent in reminding you about things like "i before e except after c", I only hope for it to benefit you.  Such strong anger comes back at me for this sometimes, I don't do this for thanks, but the hatred is such a surprise.  Regardless of if you thanked me or not, your welcome.

I would like to point out that this is a troll thread, so please, nobody else point this out. Let's all just let this thread die, and let it be at peace.

There's really no proper way to reply here, so why did >>1-san not just post in an existing thread?

>>7 You get none because you are stinking of kimchi! I might give apolojuice if you take a bath, brush your teeth twice, use one large bottle of mouthwash, and down a whole package of anti-gas pills.

> i before e except after c

The word "weird" disproves this assumption.
By the way, I'm not an English native speaker.

There are over 900 exceptions to this rule, which is more than the number of words abiding to it. It's no longer being taught in UK schools. Stephen Fry said so himself.

The American spelling of aluminium is still dead wrong, no matter what IUPAC may claim.

I would also like to point out that my captcha for this post was vip, thus making its poster infallible by default.

>captcha for this was post was vip

So it is settled! >>12-san's word will be held as law.

>>6-baka and >>13-tama, please format your dashes so that you do not quote the entire thread!

18 Name: (　´_ゝ`) : 1993-09-9975 15:49

>>17-san is correct. If, however, you are insecure about formatted dashes, I believe you can just format the nothing before the dash. This post is for me to test if the new admin's code fix-up has broken the technique (or whether preview respects it). What I have written at the start of this line is:
