You wouldn't be the first person to think I should be a teacher.

I totally would except the pay is incredibly suck compared to what I can get as an Information Security / Network Administrator for a major technological firm.

I knew almost all of this, I just choose to ignore it a lot since I don't think displaying your posts in a proper manner when you're just being a total doofus (as I am often) in the first place is too important.

I really don't like this attitude towards grammar.

I mean, on the one hand, most people with bad grammar manage to communicate with each other fine on a daily basis and get their meanings across. I'm not going to say that most violations of grammar actually impede understanding.

But seriously, haven't you ever seen a post with just absolutely horrible grammar? So bad that, even though you understood what the post was asking about, the poster just seemed like a complete moron?

Therein lies the value of good grammar. It allows you to be taken more seriously, and it's a valuable tool for you to have in your relationships with other people for the rest of your life (professionally, casually, etc.).

It's good to have, okay? Like good hygiene and a decent enough grasp of basic math to do your taxes. (I mean, I don't know many people who say to themselves, "I'm not hanging out with other people, so I don't need to brush my teeth or bathe anymore.")

I'm not saying you need to be an expert on every obscure grammatical rule (and trust me, there are some obscure grammatical rules), but a decent grasp on the stuff that everyone can agree on can only help you, not hurt you.

(You'll notice I end a lot of sentences in this post with prepositions. People trying to pretend to be grammar snobs will often point this out as a grammatical mistake, which it used to be, but isn't any longer. Most authorities agree it's acceptable.)

I have often used "I'm not going anywhere today" as an excuse for not showering.

I feel sorry for the kids who didn't have fathers who wouldn't let them finish a phrase that began with "me and my friends."

That was quite the interesting post you made. I understand perfectly what you were trying to imply. I’m assuming you didn’t quite grasp my wise ass joke. Hopefully you now know I was kidding about the whole “(school is over. No need for good grammar).”

Truly.
Thread.
Full stop (.) then capital T on thank you. Optional comma (,) after "you".
Learnt, and remove the capital on it.

I'm glad you learnt so much...pity you can't read still.

I refuse to acknowledge "learnt" as a real word. MAYBE back before the 1930s it was acceptable, but these days it's just LAZY.

What would you use as a replacement? "Learned"?

EDIT (ninja'd)

"Learnt" is perfectly acceptable in British English today and, as such, okay to use in America, but understandably not used here.

We'll use a few irregular forms frequently, like dreamt, smelt, and leapt, but one we use all the time is meant.

Ah, yeah I forgot you need to compensate for the fact that America is different linguistically to Britain.

Then use "learned".

Also, Guido, call me Reaper or David. I hate my username.
