No I didn't. If I had used air quotes, I would actually act out the physical movement of an air quote. A "" is just quotation marks.Quote:

should have been more specific i guess. I meant THOSE air quotes. (i choose to claim that's the problem with the above sentence, and not the placement of the apostrophe)Quote:

I'm sure glad to see I'm not the only one who gets a fit every time I see a grammatical / spelling error. :)
This should read either "who has a fit" or "who goes into a fit"!Quote:

Yeah, okay. :( English is not my first language, so. :afrog:
But you're right: It's "who has a fit". ;)
:) Very mature of you. The grammar tyrant is appeased.
It's Friday, it's 3:04pm, and my brain is no longer connected to my mouth. Or in this case, my fingers. Forgive me, please.
You're really saying it's 8:14 am, you're drunk, again, and you're feeling some latent anger about missing breakfast and you're lashing out at an entire generation of mis-spelers (sic).Quote:

That image has soooo many problems (misspelling of nazi for one) but i for one looked at it about 7 times before i noticed it had a G. Very well done.
Har Har Har...
You know me, enciting grammatical hatred around these forums.

CBA to draw the arrow pointing to mendhak.
What's going on here??? :mad:
Three question marks are an overuse of a grammatical symbol.Quote:
What's going on here??? :mad:
Unlike exclamation marks, question marks are simply meant to classify a sentence as a specific format. Therefore, multiple question marks are simply performing the action the first has already accomplished.
Hyerr, von Heiflhurber!
I'm so sorry. I'll stop now.
What??? :cool:

Slugs deserve to die.
Do you think it would make any difference if we all pray that kregg gets resurrected as a slug?
I'd bet zaza would be the first to pour salt over my beady eyes if that were the case.
Infact, I'd bet he'd do that, regardless of my living state.
they used to do that to preserve meat.
Mmmmm... salty preserved kregg slug... [drools]
Slugs are cool. :afrog:
That is not really evil when you think about it. He is creating a maze for the slug to find his way out. The slug could make it and then he'd have a much higher self-esteem from his accomplishment. So by creating a salt maze, he is actually helping the slug.
And if the slug can't find its way out, he's contributing to the evolution of the species by applying artificial selection to promote intelligence in slugs.
On the other hand: try telling that to the slug.
i don't know. Is it possible for a slug to crawl backwards? Some of the deadends are awfully narrow.
A smart slug wouldn't end up in one of the dead ends, but would instead think it's way through the maze before it set out.
