I want to thank OT for being grammar Nazis

I started to take a conversation course at an American foundation here, and honestly I was so proud today, I felt so advanced and superior to the rest of the class lol.

Thank you OT for nearly making me wetting my pants if I wrote something wrong. And as a gift, put this in your sig if you want to:

Don't ask me, I'm no English Major, and English is a tricky language where a house can burn up as it burns down, where you drive in a parkway and park in a driveway. I just wanted to be funnay. >_>

But I think both can be used. From usually denotes separation, but to can be used to compare, so I think either/or, but if someone else can elaborate.

Well, at first I was going to call you out on the fact that you didn't notice he said "good" instead of "well."

Then I saw the "being two hard" on yourself. Are you sure you're the best person for judging grammar?

just giving you a hard time, I don't give a rats ass

Yeah, I can be a Grammar Nazi, sometimes (my English teachers don't like it when I correct them, though).

I don't really care, either. I just enjoy pointing out the flaws of others. :twisted:

I've improved my spelling and grammar a lot thanks to OT.

Here is an interesting piece of information I found on the interwebz. I remembered it when I read a post from here.

"Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"

Actually many of the greatest writers of today have agreed that using "and" to start a sentence is in many cases acceptable. It's a good rule for students learning English, but many accomplished scholars see the value in bending these rules to manipulate the language and add some flare to their writing.

That sig forgot a ' in "don't"0Tyler0

If anything, it should be "superior compared to the rest of,,,."

Thanks to GS, I've perfected my douche-bagging techniques. I'm now a very successful real-life troll.F1_2004

Uh... English is one of the hardest languages to learn, and tildes are very easy to understand. Have you ever noticed that in the English language there are times when the same exact word is used for a number of different meanings?
