renaeden: Thanks, though I already know how to do that. It's just that I made that mistake in the first place, it's unacceptable.

I think the worst mistake is when people say "could of" instead of "could've". I despise it. It can burn in a fire.

I think a problem with Aspie boards is you get a whole bunch of natural born grammar Nazis and a whole bunch of people with neurological issues such as dyslexia that affect their ability to write/spell  :LOL:. You  can 't seperate us because most of us belong in the intersection between the two sets :rofl:

For myself , I find my own tendendency to use "it's" and "its"  interchangably is increasing alarmingly, as I age, and ability to spot own errors diminishing. 

That particular  error is partly due to hearing the words in my head as I read/write them . Of  course the two sound exactly the same, and can only be differentiated by context. Given my tendency for repeating syllables/ words/ whole sentences (at worst) I guess my brain has big problems recalling context at times   :LOL:   

I catch most of my typos before hitting send.  I've aready turned "ut's " into "it's"  :LOL:
I think I'll leave "tendendency " alone, now I notice it  It provides a handy  illustration of my subsequent  point.

If you're gonna find stuff like that "unacceptable"...  ummm, sorry but you are you are doomed, JC, DOOMED :vortex2:

I've noticed occasionally the grammar Nazis are dyslexics. Maybe trained ones.

Notice how people with decent grammar automatically look more authoritative on forums? It makes a massive difference and they get listened to a lot more...sounding obvious now that I've just said that. Nevermind.

NP. We specialise in stating the obvious, round here.

what troubles me more is the ever-imminent prospect of some us naturally graduating from attempting to erase all of our grammatical errors and typos to permanently erasing ourselves... if we don't learn to employ  a bit more self-tolerance.


(phew!  managed to catch "ever -immanent " in the nick)

Oh, I wouldn't call myself a grammar Nazi, or I'd be better than this. :P Why correct something most people won't notice anyway?

I'm not that bothered about my error earlier, I wasn't screaming about it or anything. ;)

Ugh. Morning again. >:(

  Tell me about it.  I've been awake since about 2:30 a.m. and I'm due at work at 9.  :autism:

Ouch. Did you sleep before 2.30, at least?

  I did, for 5 hours or so.  The work day actually went pretty well too.  :laugh:

I'm knackered but wondering if that means I'll sleep properly tonight.

  My landlord is pretty laid-back, but I don't think he'd appreciate that.  :P

So much Trump on my FB page, and stuff about people protesting against the VOTE.

I keep procrastinating because there's stuff that needs to be done and I can't face it.
