"bad(ly) it's an adverb." - This is a sentence fragment. As you said, since we're trashing grammar. The inclusion or exclusion of "not" changes the meaning of the entire sentence. This is quite different from a simple grammatical error. Thanks for playing.

Please quote the Harbrace Handbook chapter and verse if you're going to trash me on this.

I like this thread a lot more than some of the many discussions I've read about booze. You know what I'm talking about. Some of you think you can't live another second unless you let the whole world know how much alcohol you can consume during each football game.

The written word is much more revealing than one may realize. Educationally speaking, it is a very valuable commodity, and reveals one's intelligence quickly , and emphatically.!

Well, maybe all of us dumbasses don't give a rat's ass if anybody is judging our intelligence quotient or not.

My personal favorites that make me chuckle are valid victorian, pre-madonna, pocket presents, and escape goat. Homonym misuse simply shouldn't be an issue in the 12-and-above crowd.

As for those who are so offended by corrections or even a discussion of the issue at hand, I leave you with a thought from one of my favorite professors at UT:

"To misuse one's native tongue is to be openly disrespectful of one's own upbringing, culture, and homeland. It speaks poorly of family, as good parents would have corrected it; it speaks poorly of education, as good teachers would have stamped it out; it speaks poorly of employers, as good employers would see it as a sign that shortcuts and inaccuracy are acceptable to the worker. A person's proficiency in their native tongue and the choices they make in how seriously they treat it may not be the true judge of their worth, but it's a good sign as to whether or not digging deeper is worth the time spent when time is an issue."

To use the argument that this is a message board and not life is a very interesting comment; as language is both one of a person's longest-held and least-thought-about skills, what you see written in posts is indicative of their base skills because it is often done solely for the dissemination of thought without care as to the quality of the delivery. Or, in layman's terms, what you see is what you get.

You called me an idiot. I challenged you to compare our intelligence levels with proof. You backed down. What do you not understand?

No, you called me that in another thread. You called yourself that by throwing the word around like loose change. I could throw blind insults at you with no validity...simply because I don't know you. How about this..."How's that MBA working for you sacking groceries at Von's in Lemon Grove?" That would be a pretty stupid statement to make based on zero knowledge about you other than your posts.

I have no idea where it is. It's all good SD. I lived out there for a while as a teen. Best weather anywhere! Do they still have the swap meet?

Because it never happened. You need to apologize and then it's all good.

What part did you live? Yes, there are swap meets everywhere. Same thing as flea markets
