Instead of printed verbage: About starting a thread for? Gramatically speaking it should say: Inwhich you'd like to start a thread!!......we must try to print correctly what we'd actually say if indeed we were actually speaking to a real person.........just trying to keep us aware of proper english. ......yes i am a lady......but perhaps it was a lady who designed the website text?

Where that be? I started the site 5 years ago, and wrote it all myself. I have come a long way though and have been beat up over my grammar the entire time. Not that I am any better, but now I sometimes fix mistakes when people point them out.

Thanks for the heads up. We gonna make it right.

She's absolutely right. Improper grammar is something up with which I will not put. But, silly me, I thought "english" was capitalized.

I think you were supposed to use commas instead of multiple periods. ;)

LMAO! This is great! I have some "flair" on my Facebook page that says:

"I use proper grammar when I text"
and
"Yes I corrected your grammar. Trust me it sounds better my way."
and
"Don't use big words unless you know what they mean."
and
"I mentally correct your grammar while you are speaking."
