    thanks for the reply lol (laugh out loud)

      Well, sorry if I sounded like an ignorant prick. I was just saying that if you are going to correct somebody, to be correct yourself. I was going to say it jokingly when I first saw what you typed, but I guess that I just continued typing, trying to sound smart.

      Shame on me. I guess I should leave the forums now, seeing that my humor has left me.

          I just need to say this; if anyone on the FFR Forums didn't know this kind of grammar, he or she is either:
          1. Under 13; or
          2. Just incredibly stupid.

          This is really simple grammar here. I don't see why people should need a lesson with this.

              He did not use you're , his sentence was "Your a genius".
              As far as I know too...
              I am not trying to seem so smart too ,I think I'm the worst person in the whole world in grammar.
              And I think the word "haha" at the end of my sentence, showed that I wasn't serious at all RubiedCross.

                Alright. I'm glad that we understand each other. And yes, you are right, he didn't use "you're", but I am used to seeing "your" used incorrectly so much that my brain automatically changes it to "you're" the first time I read through it.

                Also, I'm a very serious person, so whenever I read something, unless it is obviously meant to be humorous, I take it as a serious statement.

                Well, it was nice arguing with you, killtherockk

                      Re: Free grammar lessons!

                      Hey Squeek I have a few questions I am willing to ask. First of all, is it ever neccessary in a sentence to use the word "that"? Every sentence i've thought of so far with the word "that" in it, has always sounded better simply without the word. Second of all, what is a preposition? You don't have it in your lesson. Lastly, may you please correct me of all of my mistakes in this post.
                      I play IAMP online, in case anyone wants to play me.
                      Here is one Hamachi server to join, so you can play
                      me or other people (it was made by Xiaounlimited):

                      Network:FFR Touhou Online: IAMP
                      Password:eyeamp

                      Also, I think the Hamachi networks and passwords are
                      case-sensitive, but I'm not sure. TYVM for playing
                      IAMP with me, (since there's no one to play right
                      now). :smile

                        Re: Free grammar lessons!

                        1) What is that?

                        Oh, lookie, I used "that" in a way that could not be omitted.

                        Oh! I did it again!

                        "That" and "Which" are two words you can use to connect clauses.

                        2) http://www.google.com/search?q=preposition

                        This isn't English. All I wrote here were basics of commonly misunderstood grammatical errors I spotted while browsing the forums.

                        3) You ask, I do.

                        Hey Squeek I have a few questions I am willing to ask. First of all, is it ever neccessary in a sentence to use the word "that"?

                        1) Comma to break it up. Not completely necessary, but sounds stupid without it. Some might even make it "Hey, Squeek, I have..."
                        2) Misspelled.
                        3) Capital "I".
                        4) Unnecessary comma
                        5) Redundant "better simply".
                        6) You use "may" to ask direct questions with "I", not favors from "you".
                        7) Again, redundant. We know who the subject is. No need to put it in there again.

                          Ask me about the English lessons, qwert, not Squeek.

                          Also, did you miss my sections on subjects and prepositions? I gave a link in the OP...

                            I just didn't pay any attention during English classes. That's all!

                              It's not that you don't know anything; it's that you always brush off questions about the language because that's not what you intended with this thread.

                              That, and you've said yourself how you don't really care about the linguistics and structure behind the language. I'm just trying to eliminate the middleman of the deference.

                              My apologies for a wording that could be construed as a harsh jab at you; it's not what I intended.

                                Hey Squeek and GuidoHunter,first of all, I'll continue to make out my posts to you Squeek because you argued funner is commonly accepted. No hard feelings GuidoHunter, it's not personal. Also, can you please continue to correct all my incorrect grammar? *Edit*

                                P.S. Can you please proof read my narrative assignment essay for English Squeek? I would really appriciate it.

                                P.S.S. It's due on Friday, so I will send you the essay on Thursday by posting it in this thread.
