Yes, I'm now fully aware they don't give a rat's ass and I'm not at all uncomfortable with all of this stuff anymore. I may have done in the early days when I began modding but not now. I just find the whole subject of intellectual copyright interesting. My post was to inspire debate rather than to ask for help or reassurance or something. Never mind....
I hate to be picky Koniption, but you just did something that is one of my petty hates. My students always write "could of / should of / would of". I won't go into the full explanation here but it's "could have / should have / would have".....it's weird little things like this that give me the jitters....I'm a language geek!
That's why I edit my own posts with care...I almost edited your post just because it hurt my poor sad little geek heart!
@ Ibsen- I wasn't aiming my post at you, rest assured. It's more like for everybody out there to read. I edited it myself - so there. :yes:
@ Xaeaix - OMG! I cringed as I read that link, but couldn't stop reading it. I felt my brain rotting, and improving, at the same time - twas weird.
@ Morcroft - Depends on what age group Ibsen's students are...
.... and if he's ever caught.Koniption

Well, they used to be 11-16 so they sort of deserved a light touch (even though the 13 year-olds particularly were, and always are, a pain in the ass) but now they're 16-18 so I can be a little more harsh. Suffice to say that this little baby is getting framed!
However, I may have to edit it. There is a f**king outrageous lack of full stops and question marks in there. For example, "What the goddamn f*** is wrong with you" NEEDS A QUESTION MARK. Hell, you can use two if you want since it's a style technique to show your horror or maybe if it's a rhetorical question then you could get away with an exclamation mark but to put nothing there suggests that this is one side of a conversation between two retards!!! X(
Grrrr! (that's onomatopoeia, that is)

I bet you're really careful about correctly pronouncing the apostrophe in 'king as well, aren't you?

I can go one better than that: You're 'kin' right I do! =)

Now I'm going to obsessively check your sentences for proper English. For instance, I'm pretty sure your "you're" didn't need to be capitalized.

I love how you bring this up when you nearly always don't capitalize the beginning of your sentances.

Because I don't see a need to in common conversation. I'm having a chat with friends/coworkers, not writing a formal paper. As long as the text is understandable I don't concern myself with the minutia of grammar. I'll be honest, people who bitch about how people write on the internet come off as pretentious to me

You'd probably better leave this thread pronto then, Lady N: it's Pedants Anonymous in here....
