the_franchise Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 so you guys dont even care about football, just about how i put my sentences together? Ok thats alright then so.....later 's. If the "Bills D #1 in 2008" is a true statement, is it really a shocker that he got shut down on a play?
thebug Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 You now what bothered me was the fact that JP was not there again WTF?
Stenbar Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 so you guys dont even care about football, just about how i put my sentences together? Ok thats alright then so.....later 's. Sentences would mean there is more than one correct?
ndirish1978 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Commas should be offended that you included them in your post, to the exclusion of all other punctuation. You sir, are a punctuatist. Special K's avatar=priceless

Whites Bay Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 so you guys dont even care about football, just about how i put my sentences together? Ok thats alright then so.....later 's. Look, I don't want to lecture you, yoonyour, but.....think about it. You're contributing ideas in a forum that is based on the written word. It's not based on oral presentation, or on photographs, or on music. It's based on the written word. If you're going to come into a restaurant and slobber all over the table, you're going to have people look at you a little funny. If you're going to ride in an elevator and fart, you're going to have people that will criticize you. If you're going to come to a message board and display your ignorance of your mother tongue (I know, that's a big assumption on my part), you're going to have people bust your stones. Put a little thought into it. It's not that hard. Go read some Hemingway - you'll learn how to write in short, sharp sentences. And you might grow a little bit while you're at it. My recommendation is "In Our Time", a collection of short stories from early in his career. "Big Two-Hearted River I & II" is one of my favorites. Try it.
KOKBILLS Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I have to admit, I look forward to your threads. I can't figure out which I look forward to more; the thought process or the sentence structure. There's this whole "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter" thing going on, except without the chocolate. Or the peanut butter.
