Lets talk the use of a period.

Im just defending myself....so okay you won this stupid little argument, congrats you outsmarted a pothead on the internet.

I didn't outsmart ya buddy

Just showed you something.

[FeastonThisSHITT]

You make my brain hurt ^^^read my last post.

Yeah you made that post while I was typing, so I didn't see it until afterwards.

Lol, is it really? Are you sure?

Well, like I said, I must have missed that memo.

You got an extra copy?

Yo, DRY ONE.

I think you might be mistaken.

J D Salinger employed the phrase 'strictly for the birds' in Catcher In The Rye (1951), and that seems to be the earliest known usage. In 1957 a writer in the journal American Speech wrote, 'The metaphor alludes to birds eating droppings from horses and cattle'.

Lol, either way, I don't care. ~

For the Birds

Instead of writing an open letter to the birds who pooped all over my car, I'll talk about this other crap from Missouri. I have to share my amazement that 71% of MO could approve a state constitutional ban on gay marriage. Perhaps I am so morally derelict that I am incapable of even comprehending the arguments against gay marriage, but from where I'm standing it seems like 71% of Missouri's populace are bigots.

It seems the biggest argument against allowing homosexuals to marry is that it somehow defiles the sanctity of the union. What exactly this means when the divorce rate is so absurdly high, even in Missouri itself, is unclear to me. What exactly this means when some of the most famous murders of recent history have happened within the bonds of marriage is unclear to me. What sanctity, exactly, is being protect


just a small excerpt have a nice day :thumbsup:

Although grammar can get bad enough around here to render posts indecipherable, it's not that big of a deal to me. It's not like he is completely out of line by asking for higher standards in this regard (although it did come off a little snotty and presumptuous), but I find this problem works itself out. If someone takes the time to type a coherent and concise message, it generally gets read and replied to more often, reinforcing the behavior of using correct grammar. A block of gibberish gets ignored more often.

But even if conditioning does not extinguish the behavior, you are probably better off NOT reading posts by members who are incabable of constructing a sentence regardless. Are you really losing sleep over the possibility you missed some profound, groundshaking insight buried in the middle of goldnugz420's latest rambling nonsense?

ok its like this how pissed i wuz cuz i got the hookup up some dankest budz ive ever seenbut i let my sister smoke too the first timebut the stupid bitch all wnt back and got busted by my mom layin on the kitchen with bag of choclit chips and shit and now she took my sack and all my pipes and shitand now i dont have any but we had 1/2 bottle of vicks cold and flu but i dont feel anything yet so thinking about taking my aunts pms pills unless you know what else i could take she might have in her bathroom she has lots of pillz n shit but then i started watching othello and i wuz thinking about the line "O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance, revel, and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!" the irony william shakespear wuz pointing out is that on the surface, relinquishing our liberty to an alien force, in placing "an enemy" in psychoactive substances inside us may seem intuitively counter to all instincts of survival, but it is that very transfer of control that we all so enjoy; moreso the transformation of ourselves into the "beast". but then my dad got home and my mom all showed him the sack and i had to go to my room but i didnt have cable in here so not even get to watch end of othello damn i could kill that bitch

hi,

I am here to educate the ones who don't like to use a period. When writing a 10 line paragraph, you include things called commas ('), and at the end of a sentence, you use a period (.).

A comma is something you use to break in the middle of a sentence, like that.

A period, is what you use when you finish a sentence, like this.<------

So if you want people to understand what you're saying, then please, use a period. I'm not here to tell you what to do, just to make you, make sense.

Thank you, that is all.

Ha, I feel like an idiot. Over 90% of my posts can be found with zero periods and a million commas... My bad!
