Grammar 101: YAY!!!

[Ed Highlight]

How is it possible that Flammable and Inflammable mean the same thing???

flam·ma·ble [flam-uh-buhl]
adjective
easily set on fire; combustible; inflammable.

in·flam·ma·ble [in-flam-uh-buhl]
adjective
capable of being set on fire; combustible; flammable.

On another board a multitude of threads are written "ISO Providers That (Do Something)."

Aren't providers people "who" deserve a personal relative pronoun?

(I had to look that up)

This is a 16 word sentence and she misused four of them, for a 25% failure rate. That's hard to beet.

It all depends on how remembered the person writing would like to be ? Example is posted above .If those signs were correctly spelled would they be posted on here ? It,s all in the matter at hand . Is not ass in english arse ? I shee see sheels at thee c shore . Didnt you just think cindy brady ?

Im not trying to be a ass just i struggle in type but not in person . sorry

[normalguy21]

Lmao !! I type even worse than this !

[FireKitten]

LMAO!

First time I have seen this thread! Awesome.

Others that REALLY bug me---

receive (recieve)
friend (freind)
separate (seperate)

and not dropping the "e" with "ing"

giveing, loveing etc.

Those are the biggest violators. I try to breathe deep on some other errors.

This always bothered me. Even though I know that most likely the poster is just not that stringent with grammar, it comes off that the poster thinks we are just soulless bodies.

You wouldn't know it from all my run-on, awkward, and sometimes archaic sentence structure. Also my tendency to write how I talk, fragments and all.
