The Official Status Update Thread: Part 63 - Thanksgiving Leftovers

[Sylvain]

All things considered you do pretty well. Actually you do better than a lot of people who speak English as their first language. If I hadn't known beforehand that it wasn't your first language I probably never would have thought about it.

Thanks.
Yeah I have schooled a few members about the use of "your/you're", "their/there/they're", "too/to" and a few other things.

You would know if you could hear my outrageous foreign accent.

Now why is it that someone who didn't learn English as a first language understands the difference yet people who were born and raised and taught the proper use of it in school cannot do it properly?? Drives me crazy

Yeah me too.
I had a good English teacher in highschool I guess.

I think it's also because many people dont care and dont think it's important especially online.
Out of respect for native speakers I always try to use proper grammar when talking to them online.

I think you two left your commas at the range or something.

Another member made fun of my grammar and spelling once.
Only he didn't know how to spell "grammar" properly.

I had a pretty decent French teacher in high school. She would always angry and say. "Oh well. Je m'en fous". Then move on to something else. It took me so long to figure out what that meant but after I did I never saw her the same way

Next grammar mistake you make I am definitely going to call you out.

Nevermind. I'll most likely make one first actually...

You might be waiting a while.

Like I said, GB, I'll probably make one first. Feel free to make fun of me for it

 

[Sylvain]

Im I allowed to bunch you in the face if you ever make one?

Since you're so sure it will never happen you dont take a big risk, right?

 

[RedneckReject]

If there's going to be violence going on here I have to back out of the game. I can just see myself making some horrible typo or something. I've had enough blows to the face. I don't need more!

No punching the ladies.
Actually just GB gets punched if he makes grammar or spelling mistakes.

 

[RedneckReject]

You better mind your P's and Q's, GB. Sounds like Sylvain is itching to hit someone!
