It was supposed to be ambiguous. And funny. Making fun of you for participating even though you already knew what the results would be.

*sigh* I tried. Shoot me now.

No, I want you to join our Grammar, Word Usage, Semantics, Context and Definitions harassment thread, in the near future. Watch for it to appear.

Here it is, folks.  Have fun.

No, it's where we witness each other's deeply ingrained pain at having our spelling and grammar critisized.

Just remember to shoot him first. That way, if you change your mind you can still shoot yourself and he is already sorted.

Don't point the gun at your own head, Pyraxis.  It's loaded.  Just think of all the people who would miss you if you were gone.

Thanks for the great idea, DirtDawg.  I was afraid that you were just kidding when you suggested it, so I ran with it, but of course you get full credit.

Alright, I am not completely certain whether or not my manipulation of the English language is up to par with the folks here. Also this is my first or second post on this forum, I am not sure which. If you notice any errors, don't hesitate to point them out to me. I would consider it somewhat gratifying if my every error in the use of language was corrected at all times; this is however, a privilege I am rarely granted unless I am in English class.

Hi HelloMeow.  This thread is kind of a joke, but I'm sure that there are some people here who will be happy to help you.

Welcome to Intensity, BTW.

I know what noun, verb and prepositional phrases are (thanks to my Oxford handbook on grammar and punctuation), but what the fuck are infinitive, gerund, participal and appositive phrases? Whenever I try to study them from pages on the internet, my head explodes.



Gaaah! :headexplode:

oh, dear gods.  the difficult ones...

to be honest, i'm never quite sure of those myself.  i wasn't taught grammar - i went to school during the "too funky to teach grammar" phase.

i'll see if i can find a good grammar text/reference book though, and let you know - the one recommended for our students might be the ticket., but i can't remember it at the mo.
