Took a quick break from editing a dissertation to hop online and see what was happening on the 968 Forum, and this is what I find?



Had to laugh, now back to work.

Euh, Rap, would there be an alternate system to punish us non-English speaking members? Otherwise the "Corrections" area will be swamped really quickly (including me spending most of my spare time 'their'...).



Just a thought: could the Office auto-spell be devised by a German? Zey put z's zin front of everyzing.

I think this is a good suggestion although some may characterize this as ethnic profiling. Others may object to separate Correction groups as anti to the all for one tone of Forum membership. The real point is to create a Corrections category where members feel free to write with mistakes and misspellings as we all pursue our individual happiness!

Using "suspect" in place of "suspicious", as in, "DS968 claims to have chased down a Veyron in his 968 and left it in the dust, but I was a little suspect." Aaarrrggghhhh!!!!! I'm hearing this atrocity more and more, and it invariably fouls my mood...

In that scenario, I would be the suspect and you would have every right to be suspicious. Having said that, I sense you have challenged me to find a Veyron and leave it in the dust. Easy task ( just as soon as I see one parked )

Sometimes bad grammar can provide emphasis. For example:



I'm postin' this at thuh risk of soundin' like a grammar snob, fer shure, but I found it kind of cool: The writin' on this site is like, ya know, generally better than on most, fer shure, so hopefully I'm not rufflin' too many feathers, man, but readin' poor writin' is ya know, like, just one of those thin's that bugs thuh crap out of me. Some of thuh common mistakes in this list are super basic, mostly, but items 3, oh, baby, 4, like, wow, and 5 are like fin'ernails down thuh chalkboard. Man, I have to admit, mostly, I don't do 7 and 8 consistently correctly, like, wow, and I may have violated 2 a time or to - lol. Man, I always appreciate thuh opportunity to improve, fer shure, now that I know better.
