jeepers creepers.

Someone needs to start a thread of just bad grammar and misspelled words so you people can get this shit out of your systems.

Thats something I could agree about. Caring about grammer doesnt make you sic its a thing to pride yourself of.

I meant the rampant correcting needs to be worked out but maybe it will work both ways. Poor (is it poor or bad? now I'm worried) spellers can go crazy and get out all that out and correctors can get all their correcting out.

And the rest of us can live in peace.

I was the first guy in hardcore to whip people with his belt.

Hey, I forbear from correcting almost all the time, even though the restraint sometimes causes me almost physical pain.  I inserted "sic" after "by" in my post because I didn't want one of you to jump on me--and I knew one of you would, given my reputation as the grammar Nazi here.

As for ending sentences with prepositions, it's still discouraged in formal writing, although even there it's tolerated when the alternative would be just too, too stodgy.

I don't correct, but I do judge.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

what does "sic" mean again?
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

"Intentionally so written--used after a printed word or passage to indicate that it is intended exactly as printed or to indicate that it exactly reproduces an original" (Webster's Collegiate, 11th ed.).

For 'chika chikaaah' you get partial credit.

A perfect answer would've included:

'You jack of clubs'
or
'You're a French duke'.
"Son, there's a thin line between crazed and rabid"

It makes sense being that Erika is a staunch James supporter.

This thread just polished off a six-pack of boring juice.
