Should people who download music for free be puneshed?

I don't reread my threads though

Of course not. It would interfere with the pace of your spamming if you actually reread threads before you posted them.

I don't reread my threads though

I preview my posts before submitting them. I catch my typos most of the time! 

[eris]

I miss a lot. Mostly punctuation. I promise I know how to use apostrophes Im just careless   At least I know that A LOT is 2 words and I know the difference between A WHILE and AWHILE

I make loads of typos. Usually stuff that doesn't matter (to me) though, like a semicolon (lol) instead of an apostrophe, because of the keys. Other times I accidentally use letters that aren't even near each other on the keyboard

I figure as long as people can understand what I'm saying , it dpoesn't matter - I mean it's a forum on the internet, not an essay

[eris]

the its/ it's doesnt bother me, cause I often make the mistake by just forgetting the apostrophe

The one thing that really bugs me about grammar is the your/you're thing. It's just so easy to remember.

I think that people who misspell simple words in topic subjects should be "puneshed".

Semicolonic irrigation at it's finest eh?

[Adam]

The obvious apostrophe ones that bother me are the ones where there's not meant to be one, but someone puts one in anyway

It is easy just to do the wrong one anyway though when you're typing fast, even if you know your grammar well

That must be why I don't make many errors...I just don't type fast enough!   

[Adam]

I type pretty fast and sometimes my fingers just move oer the keys dodgily

[eris]

My problem is that I type faster than my ability. I can only go like 35 a minute and I try speed through it at 70 and misspell half of everrything

indeed   good job

Anyone who is anal (or semicolonic) about grammar inevitably end up being complete hypocrites.

Why?

They'll fuck up their grammar sooner or later.

Hypocrisy is a violation of a person's professed views by that person. I did not claim that all grammar had to be perfect; I simply pointed out an obvious error.

yeah, I really do agree. I've made some ROYAL mistakes

The reason I get bothered by your and you're is because they have 2 different definitions. typing "youre" and forgetting the apostrophe is one thing, or to make a few mistakes out of carelessness or making a genuine type, it is fine...but what I mean is that sometimes it's just obvious someone just doesnt know the difference and always writes "your".

Just say to yourself. Is it you are ? If so - it's YOU'RE !!!

[Frolic_Fun]

Yes, yes, backtrack if you must.

There's a difference between simply pointing out someone's grammar and implying that you see yourself above people who aren't completely anal about grammar.

Hypocrisy is a violation of a person's professed views by that person.

Your view means that inevitably it will violate itself. If you think people who don't proofread need to be punished, then you must punish yourself eventually.

I don't think people who pirate music or games should be punished. I pirate lots of stuff.

I don't even think pirating music should be illegal, although I'm not so sure about games.
