I've never noticed any issues with your spelling or grammar, T'Poptarts.

^ ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Like how about the underuse of commas for example and then sticking those commas in like, totally random places that don't even make any sense, then of course the overuse of the word "like" etc etc... well I'm a... decent speller I guess but sometimes I make stupid random mistakes even when I know how to spell the word

[Distracted]

The use of "like" is a word choice, not a grammatical mistake...and 90% of the authors I have beta'd for have no clue about comma usage. You're doing fine.

[TPoptarts]

Well then how about like totally mixing stuff like "if I did X then I would Y" and "if I do X then I will Y" with each other and especially using (shudder shudder) stuff like "if I was..."!!

[TPoptarts]

Oh yeah and that comma before the word "too" (when used for "as well"). And after if it's like in the middle of the sentence. I NEVER use that one. Well but that's because it sounds like totally weird translated into talking like that!! Like I said in the "randomness" thread I nominate it for the Most Unnecessary Grammar Rule in Modern English (or something like that )

English doesn't have to make sense...and usually doesn't.

[TPoptarts]

How did I get frelling A's on all my English tests??

[Distracted]

Good for you!

[TPoptarts]

But but... HOW??

[Distracted]

English isn't all spelling and grammar, especially in modern classrooms. You got points for creativity and literary analysis as well, I'm assuming. Maybe your English teacher saw your potential and graded accordingly.

[TPoptarts]

My English teacher hated me because I didn't speak in class well same with all my teachers actually.

The round 3 winner is up. The one with Gary Seven in it won. So they didn't like it when I stuck Vash in there, but Gary Seven is okay.

Sigh. I don't get it.

The round three winner was fine, I guess, but the temporal paradoxes got a little out of control.

[TPoptarts]

Well I'm like totally out of round 4 because I have no idea who Gary Seven is (except that his pet looks a lot like Claudia Black)
