It's good to see you fixed the title. Took everything I had not to comment on it. (Well, not everything)  Wink

Yes, I'm using a new browser that doesn't provide automatic spell check.  I'm learming how much I depended upon that feature.   Smiley

  I depend on spellcheck to much and sometimes i miss one which is evident since I tried to make a humorous comment earlier just to have the resident grammer cop correct my spelling of "helmet".
Willow is more the GRAMMAR cop, I’m better at spelling than at grammar.  Wink

 Big deal. Pardon me, you're the spelling cop then.  Carl has never corrected my grammer. You on the other hand have corrected my spelling more than once. Weather you think so or not it is very annoying. That isn't a compliment.......

Many words in English have multiple spellings. In some cases, however, a deviation is an error, and nothing else. Children learning English in school are exposed to formal grammar lessons at an early age, and they learn the language’s complexities as they progress through the educational system. Yet, many writers are unsure of the correct spelling of the word grammar. This uncertainty leads to embarrassing mistakes. To be fair, however, Grammer is also a word used in English that does have appropriate usage cases. None of them have anything to do with grammar, though.

Consider the sentences below:

Children develop the capacity to understand complex grammar before they can produce grammatically complex utterances themselves.

Billy Grammer travelled to Grammer, Indiana, to get some songwriting inspirations.

Which of these sentence is wrong? None! They are both correct. If you are still confused, we suggest you keep reading.





There is no doubt about it. Carl is a much nicer person than I. (Or is that me ?)

I.  It's the implied subject of I am.

The wrong sentence is "Which of these sentence is wrong?" Sentence should be plural. So it should read "Which of these sentences is wrong?" or "Which sentence is wrong?"

So the wrong sentence is "Which of these sentence is wrong?"

I’ll pass it along to Wikipedia or whoever it was I copied and pasted from. Only the last 3 sentences are mine. I will try to proofread their work better in the future.  cooldude

In college, plagiarism (the taking of an idea or phrase from someone or something and presenting it as one's own) would get students expelled (well, back in my day, anyway).
The solution to this is to always cite your sources.

I know there are at least a couple of frequent posters here who are worse than meathead in pasting uncredited writing.  It's only when someone, thinking the poster is the writer, challenges the assertions contained within the plagiarized text that the poster washes his hands of it, saying something like, "I only copied and pasted this here to start a discussion."  uglystupid2

It's a huge pet peeve of mine; to post things and take ownership of others' intellectual property.
I know, a few years ago, a former member on here used to post these long stories that he certainly didn't write.  And there would be responses saying how well it was written, etc.
Unfortunately, the Internet allows people to just copy and paste anything they want, and claim it as their own.

There have been a couple of times when I've been suspicious and googled someone's message, only to be surprised to not find it elsewhere on the web.

I didn’t think anybody here would think I was smart enough to come up with that on my own. Now that I know different I will be sure to quote it.  Wink

I used to make fun of guys that had windshields. ... They are for smart people for rides over 40 mph around town. ...

I'd be pleased to refute that claim with whatever meaningful test you would like to apply.   Wink

Some people on four wheels claim that only the ignorant ride motorcycles.
