Ever since you got a grammar topic stickied, you've been playing grammar police nonstop. I think most of FFR can agree that you need to quit being the biggest grammar nazi in FFR history. Almost all of your recent posts correct another's grammar. About half of those posts are corrections by themselves, with no relevance to the topic.
I would have put this in a PM, but I knew it wouldn't change anything unless I had some backup
First of all, I have always been like this.
Second, I really only do it when people call ME out on things. Notice how Tank101 called me out on something grammar-related and I replied? If that was not the example, then the RobbyZero thing in post your picture? They have totally different meanings and it's quite hilarious to note something like that.
That's two examples. Find me more and prove your point.

I hope you know by now I was just messing with you. Even though I forgot the "I" is implied, silly me. I had forgotten all about that. Oh, and you forgot an apostrophe in "AAAd" =P
Also, I too, Flypie, do not use periods before emoticons.
You know what I just now noticed? I never came through with my update promises. Oh well. It's on my "to-do" list now. Let me finish Eats, Shoots & Leaves first.
Justaguy - No.
Oh, and thanks to that book, I'm starting to like the British grammar methods except for the misuse of the Oxford comma. I like how quoted things have the punctuation outside if the punctuation isn't included in the quote because, frankly, there's no need for it inside the quote and it looks "wrong". (See how much better that looks?)

Now, I don't know if it's because I'm used to it or what, but when I first looked at that, it looked quite awkward to me. Now, that's the logical way to do it, and as you may remember, up until a couple of months ago I adamantly refused to place punctuation inside of quotation marks unless it pertained to the quote itself.
I don't see why it's done like that. An entire quote should be considered one noun, thereby making any punctuation inside the quote not affect the local punctuation or sentence structure in the slightest. It makes sense, but no, it's not done that way. Ugh.
Of course, the more I look at Squeek's "wrong" the more I like it.
Anyways, I'm finally posting in this thread. I get what this post is about. But learning grammar is so fucking boring. I'd rather slice my wrists than read about grammar.
