I was so hurt after the Mich game I haven't been here since then. Still waiting on my tournament championship shirt to come in the mail.

Keon v Jalen Green



His outside shot has improved a lot but a lot of really bad turnovers.

When Congress gets involved it’s almost certainly going to make things worse.

Thought this was odd. Why is the word ‘black’ capitalized but not ‘white’

Good question. I looked up the "rule," and APA says both should be capitalized. More importantly, kudos to you for using the word "capitalized" instead of "uppercase." Makes me cringe really hard when someone says "uppercase."

Are you a journalist or English major

Nah, just random grammar/syntax/spelling pet peeves. Not saying my English is perfect by any means.

I’m still tryin’ to figure out what’s wrong with “uppercase”. Got me worried.

That one is an illogical pet peeve of mine because, at one point in time, I thought it wasn't a real word. It is indeed a real word, so that's really my problem instead of anyone else's.

My most recent grammatical pet peeve is “would of”. But that’s commonly accepted lingo in these here parts where I’ve spent my whole life and I’ve just recently been enlightened.

It has nothing on "irregardless".

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I doubt that I’ll ever understand “who” versus “whom”, but that’s just a burden I’ll have to go through life dealing with. And sentence structures. Ending sentences with a preposition and what not.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I got further versus farther down. I have to think about affect versus effect for a minute. Still might screw that one up now and then.

 

[JelloPuddinPup]

To whom it may concern, I would of got these all wrong irregardless of my ability to write correctly depending on who I was talking to about uppercase words versus capitalized ones. [Sorry.]

The bane of my existence is the word "unnecessary". For the life of me I can't spell that word correct the first time.

I can thank the movie "Finding Forrester" for helping me with that one.

I cain’t spelt all that good.

Wow, that made me cringe even worse than uppercase haha.

 

[berryvol]

As an English major, all of these have bugged me for years. The one that gets me the most, perhaps, is “wonder” vs “wander.” It seems so easy to me, but people mess it up all the time lol

I can spell “separate” because my 9th grade English teacher once told the class that there was “a rat” in it. We was reading “A Separate Peace”. I have zero recollection what the novel is about.
