It must be very anoying when posters keep littering there threads with stupid grammer and spelling. So I taught it would be a good idea to start a thread for the grammar police full with errors So if your a member of this group and you're time is being wasted, trawling through treads for mistakes this could mean you don't loose so much time. It will also mean you might not be effected by this stuff on other threads as you will get it out of your system here.
So anyway, weather or not your a member of the dreaded grammer police its open to you to come on this thread and spot the mistakes, misspellings, stray apostrophes, incorret use of full stops and commas etc.

Every single mistake you spot is DELIBERATE. None of them are here unintentionally Grin

I'm wateing for someone to come on and rite the while tread out with the misteaks changed back. Come on, pendants,,,, get those red pens out and mark are work! It's suprised me how much longer it takes me to type stuff out with misteaks compared too normal. I wonder if we do it to long will it permenently effect our grammer? My iPhone has already given up correcting me when I types grammer :/

And who's idea was it anyway to statr a mean old thread trying to trap all those poor pendants who are only trying to preform a pubic service?

atthewelles · 05/03/2013 17:40

It was mine Zalen. Its about time the pendants lernt that most of us on here are revolting and that we are not going to stand for their pendantry.

OP posts:
TheVermiciousKnid · 05/03/2013 17:48

But ... but ... but ... I do try and keep my pendantry to myself! I'm a closet pendant.

Zalen · 05/03/2013 17:48

Well, standing you're thread on it's head, just watch who your calling revolting; there's much baderer things than a little pendanticality hear and their!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

atthewelles · 05/03/2013 17:48

Altinkum

This thread wasn't started as a dig at people (like me and most of the posters I really like on here) who often make spelling or grammatical mistakes on posts. I was actually doing the opposite and laughing at the spelling and grammar police who cause offence by jumping into threads to correct people's mistakes as if they are kids writing a school essay. I just thought, rather than getting pissed off with them, I'd just have a laugh about it.

I hope I haven't upset you.
