Post count- Why do we care?

Hang on a second. Under that system, surely it should be:

"my hats of d02 know the limit 9."

Not as catchy, but it's a new cliche at least.

but i can keep adding to them... eventually i'll reach nirvana..

And of course, tech schools don't teach grammar, so that helps, right?

Psssttt.... Torm... RA is right.

Not really. They just have to think that you're smart. I'm not really that smart, but by always getting 'A's and not getting any questions wrong on those trivial and not good measures of intelligence aptitude tests (like the SAT 1600) because I happen to be good at multiple choice, I tricked them all!

Oh, and I got an 800 on the Writing Skills grammar section too because I knew how to conjugate sentences with "None of them" as the subject

<blink>

well ain't that a kick in the......

if I would have known that back in '96 I doubt I'd be jobless right now.

Heehee, its always interesting when people correct me and they're wrong.

I do try to spell and use grammar correctly to the best of my ability, even on forums. That includes leaving prepositions in the middle of sentences in which they are included.

Yes, yes. I'm still sleepy groggy - and got a headcold to boot.

Kiss my grits.

Its all in the packaging. I worked at NASA running "Legendre Tranforms to Analyse Cosmic Microwave Background Patterns to Discover Trends that Implicate the Density Fluctuations in the Early Proto-Universe." Did I understand it? Hell no! Did my work matter? Again, no. Did MIT think it was good? Yup.

MIT lets accepted students look at what the people who reviewed the transcript wrote when they decided to accept. One thing that I found was interesting is that they were really impressed with the fact that I was elected to the Homecoming Court by my school, a fact I only added as an afterthought when it happened.

we could call the number of posts "experience points". Which supports my call to spend XP on item creation!

edit -- doh, very very slow on the draw here...

Heh, its just funny to me, that's all. I would probably not correct someone for saying it the other way around, but when I saw how you had italicised the word is in the quote, I was like, "Oh crap! I must have said 'was' by mistake. I'm an idiot"

Then I checked and I had said it correctly. That's when I realised you thought it was wrong

That includes leaving prepositions in the middle of sentences in which they are included.

but doesn't include editing to not end a sentence with a preposition:

You may be surprised, but look it up.

but doesn't include editing to not end a sentence with a preposition:

In imperative phrases, prepositions can correctly end the sentence. For instance, "Please come in."
