Conan the Grammerian doesn't scare me. If he hasn't took my head after the trillions of spelling and grammar errors in my posts so far, I think I am safe.

The general trend for most forms of mass written media is to skimp on editing and as a result, some articles are nearly incomprehensible because of poor spelling or grammar.  The internet is the worst, but newspapers and magazines have also gone downhill of late.

"if he hasn't TAKEN my head...."
Better start sleeping on your back with your eyes open.

He would have further pointed out that Droopy Dog should have said "Grammatical" errors, instead of "Grammar" errors.

... that you're referring to the OP's use of plural subjects and a singular verb form?

You may want to meet with Conan personally. I would suggest a late afternoon meeting.

...i dont be no understandin this hear thred...i always spelled good...

When I was in college I used to pay good money to get my papers edited. It is how I pulled off good grades in spite of writing at a kindergarten level. I don't find people pointing out my grammatical errors, I find it a kindness instead. People pointing out such things helps me improve, slowly to be sure, but improve nevertheless. My goal is to write at a fist grade level someday. Thanks, GaGambler, and Jake.

Your last post was much improved.  Conan says there is hope for you.

it's the multi paragraph reviews..."I got in the car, turned the key, and drove to her incall location" cut to the chase already.  

I can get a chuckle from the occasional slip, but there’s no reason to ridicule or disdain.
