Alot is not a word, it is ‘a lot’!
“Ya” is not an abbreviation for “your”!
“There” is used in the context, “over there” or “there she is”. “They’re” means “they are”. “Their” is used in the context, “their house is big”.
It feels good to get that off my chest!
I can’t wait for next week’s (<—- possessive apostrophe) lesson.
Its funny that “a lot” of people don’t know the difference between, Your, You’re, Where, Were, We’re, There, They’re and Their as J posted..
Even words like through, threw, presents and presence some people get mixed up.. Wow!
Its going to be super amusing to see the next generation “generation stupid” come up through the ranks with the world of spell check auto correct and technology in general ruining their lives and education….
I’ve double checked my grammar in this post just so i don’t get shat on by other BW members! Haha! Take “your” best shot!
However im guilty of “alot”
It’s Shit, not Shat…
Bar some missin punctuation (“Its going”, for example), and not capitalisin when ya should of, I reckon you’ll fit in no wukkas, surferguy!!!!! 
This!!!! It drives me insane. Check this out: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html?m=1
It’s hilarious! I actually showed it at a staff meeting a few weeks ago
I actually thought this thread was going to be about this.
Ah, Allie you were wonderful.
<3
It’s very sad that she is suffering from depression and has decided that the internet is no longer the place for her. I hope she is doing very well with her recovery.
^^ aww, I didn’t know that, that is very sad

Haha thanks Mizu! Im only human after all!!

There should only ever be 3 periods - period!
Someone once pointed this out and since then it has bugged me no end!
Oh and personally it is different to !!!!!!
So exaltation point away Mizu!
..................Guilty as charged.
Personally I think ‘period’ should never be used by anyone other than the yanks at the end of a sentence.
Hay or hey? I prefer Oats.
For a scientific approach to these matters, Language Log has no competitor: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?cat=5. The denigration of “Not properly trained in grammar”, they point out in various posts, has been used more as a class distinguisher over time than as a way to improve or maintain clear communication. Keeping undesirables–from lower income classes to former slaves to immigrants–out of “high society” has been a key function of the great many arbitrary “rules” defended by so many English speakers. Grammar is often not a good predictor of intelligence but is a good predictor of level of affluence as a child, should people be denigrated for not being able to use ‘correct’ grammar when a lot of the time the correct grammar makes no sense at all anyway? Interesting question.
I should add that my poor grammar is no ones fault but my own. I am a lazy bastard when it comes to grammar and spelling and I should be flogged with a cat o nine tails for my language laziness. bad crackers.

I agree with that piece!!!!!
The Written and Spoken Word, is used for Communication!!!!!
Therefore, if we understand what someone else is saying, that’s all that really matters!!!!!
* Waits for Teacher’s Strike!!!!!
strike |str?k|
verb ( past struck |str?k|)
1 [ trans. ] hit forcibly and deliberately with one’s hand or a weapon or other implement : they raised their hands, as if to strike me | one man was struck on the head with a stick, for challenging their might | [ intrans. ] Billy and cords struck out at him.
• inflict (a blow) : [with two objs. ] They struck Mizu with several blows to the head.
As long as the message gets across! So agree.
But often the message is changed due to the grammar. It can be important.
The ultimate correct grammar is not to use hyphenated words when writing unless it is used in quoting spoken text.

And I was gonna make claim for pointing 3 periods at most.
I often read Mizu’s posts imagining him speaking like an over exuberant yank sports commentator. It’s so very different to his speaking tone.

See, I have no idea what you’re on about!!!!! Even though the Grammar is somewhat correct!!!!!

Yeah, It’s more a mumble/gurgle/nasal tone, like a dyin fish that has a prawn stuck in it’s gills!!!!!

Nope.
Poor spelling and/or grammar equates not only to a lack of intellect and/or education, but also a lack of respect for the person or people you are communicating with. The same goes for the inability or refusal to adequately read and/or comprehend what someone else has written, prior to responding.
