BLIND PROPHET!!! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR SIG!!! - Page 2

Rule of thumb: say every "it's" as "it is" and see if it sounds like it makes sense. If it does, use "it's;" if it doesn't, use "its."

If you get tired of all this, try a sensible language that avoids contractions.

LOL!

You're all insane!!
Insane I tell you!!
GET AWAY FROM MY GORILLA!!

Thanks Aelia. For a moment after Ares' weird remark, I thought 10 years of being exposed to the English language were wasted on me.

And to Ares: [img]tongue.gif[/img]

They were just kidding around, likely because they agreed with you that Black Dragon's admonishion was a bit over the top

By pointing out the grammatical error in his own sig, they tried to show him he was nitpicking!

Welcome to the forums, and don't let this small misunderstanding spoil your fun! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Oh and Groj dearie, LOL! Though my English is far from perfect, I have seen numerous native speakers online whose grasp of the language was even more tenuous than mine!

I know... The irony is dripping all over this thread. First a guy makes a big fuss over 1 (!) small typo, while he has some grammatical errors of his own in his signature, and when I point that out, well... never mind. Let's just say this thread is silly, yet amusing.

Just because you live in a stable it doesn't mean you are a donkey! [img]smile.gif[/img]

You can never be sure they are native speakers becasue of their location Mel.

I know that, Donut, but surely you will agree with me that I can be sure they are a native speaker when they tell me they are, right? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Usually though, it's not because they CANNOT write correct English, but because they're too lazy to do so, maybe I should have added that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW Groj - did you get my email?
