Pointless pedantry word choice bammo. Unless you are God or an attorney, you "make" error. You do not create it.

We all can't be smart like you.

Given all the meta-errors in this thread, I don't know if yours is intentional (or even an error), but you've hit on one of my champion peeves. I assume you mean "We can't all be smart like you." (In one version, it's impossible for anyone to be as smart as Alex, in the other version, there is a subset of us who can't be as smart as Alex. Okay, maybe you really meant the first of these two
![]() Similarly, there is a bumper sticker commonly seen here in touristy Central Florida that reads: All of us are NOT on vacation! I am pretty sure the intended sentiment is: Not all of us are on vacation! (First version - no one is on vacation. Second version, I'm not on vacation even though you are.) There is an important distinction between the two, though the person attaching such a sticker to his or her car might just as well choose one that says "You drive too fvcking slow!" |

I don't think that people who typo or misspell are unintelligent. But for whatever reason, I have a fondness for words and I really like it when they're spelled and punctuated correctly. So I really enjoy proofreading, and making it so.

It was pointed at SL, not Alex.
But I'm backing out of this thread now. I'm feeling incredibly stupid. |
