Having monthly English lessons on the forums?

I write how I speak & do put effort into my spelling & grammar, Beyond that the critics can **** off.
 
Unwise idea, accepting correction on some obsure historical point from say Castiel, fine.
Having asim tell you want to do = keyboard rage, stalking and his fat head nailed to the wall :p :D

A lot of users have utterly appalling English skills on these forums. Most, if not all of these people aren't in school anymore, so they will probably live the rest of their lives not knowing the correct form. Would it not be a good idea to have monthly English grammar/punctuation lessons? If anybody is caught getting that month's lesson wrong then they are given an hour long ban or something?

I've already devised the first lesson as an example:

Lesson 1 - of, have.

It's extremely common for people to get mixed up with these. When speaking fast people usually say "should've" but when they write this down they seem to use "should have" because it sounds like the pronunciation of should've.

Nice joke :)


I wonder what your girlfriend thinks of this...


OH WAIT.
 
If it takes a month to teach the difference between the words `have' and `of' then we have a much bigger problem than initially described.

Im fick, witch is write!
 
Obviously my main pain is 'of' instead of 'have' but people typing ect gets on my nerves on somebody is even typing e.t.c. which nearly killed me.

Shouldn't that have been "Part Two"?

Yeah

People will continue to have mental problems regardless of their financial statuses. A rich person having mental issues cannot simply be attributed to their bank balance. It's like saying a rich person can never get whiplash, never break a rib, never bruise themselves.

Rich people are human as well, of course they can get depressed, commit suicide, have mental issues, the same as any other human being.

For me though, money is the bringer of happiness. Nothing, apart from friendship, brings me happiness like money does. Even then, in my mentality, having friends but no money would depress me. I will simply refuse to play board games with my friends, I'd top myself if it ever came to that (touch wood :p).

Yes.

What is this "Yeah" with no fullstop? Slang. Tut tut.

Flac is lossless. If you encode a typical 44.1kHz music track to flac it will be around 800-1000Kbps. You cant compare lossless flac bitrates with lossy mp3 bitrates.

No apostrophe on "can't".


Thread is pointless.

Much like my post being a ****, but there we go, I proved a point.
