Grammar Lessons with Haunted
 
Okay, this is just so people will know, and it should help you with your little posts and whatever. Okay!

First lesson is "your" and "you're." It's a really common mistake.

Your- is the possessive form of the pronoun you. (As in, "You are an asshole" or "You would be better off swimming in battery acid.")

Here are some sentences with "your."

Your boyfriend is ugly.
Your mama is fat.
Your idea sucks.

You're- is the contraction for "you are."

Here are some sentences for "you're"

You're an idiot.
You're wrong, dumbass.
You're the dummy.

Okay, another common mistake: there vs. their

There is an adverb describing location:

The gravity bong is over there.
There's my fucking cigarettes!

-There also describes something that is.

There are psychopaths living in that delipidated house.
There is a monster under your bed, kid.
There are many idiots in the room.

Okay now "their."

"Their" is the possessive form of "they"

Their car was stolen last night.
Their musical choice is shit.
Their annoying personality causes Evisceration to become violent.

Okay. That's all for now. I hope this lesson has been fun and educational.

Love and kisses.

Strong Bad: If you want to be possessive it's just I-T-S, but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's I-T-Apostraphe-S...scalawag

I made the dumbest mistake with this post. I'm too humiliated to tell you all what it is. Sorry.

Don't feel that way Haunted, we all make typos...It's no big deal:)

Haunted 03-05-2004 01:43 PM

Rayne, your too nice to us. :)

Actually, I made a post to tell Sam that I'd made the mistake he was talking about. Only I hadn't so I had to take up space.

Sometimes, I amaze myself. :p

Just thought this thread needed a bump. A few folks on here REALLY need it. They know who they are.;)

Sincerely,

Somebody who is tired of wading through all of the garble.

"You are an asshole." would actually be the contracted "You're" and not the possessive pronoun form of you. You could use "Your" if you were talking about "Your" asshole though.

Are you talking to me? I didn't make those statements. :confused: If I've made them, please show me.

Thanks.

Yes, it's to you. Yes, you made those comments. (Everything I put in quote boxes were direct quotes from the first and third posts in this thread.)

It's no big deal or anything. I was just teasing.

Better than having a "fucked" face. Like you do.
That's how we know you're not a virgin, cause your face is fucked.
LOL LOL LOL LOL
I would say I own you but I would be too ashamed to adimtt to owning something as worthless as you!

Haunted 05-10-2004 04:09 AM

Bwind, I didn't make those statements. I went back through what I said, and your "quote" wasn't in there. Besides, when you posted that "quote" it didn't say, "Originally posted by Haunted." Nice try.

Oh and Wufontang or whatever the fuck you call yourself...bugger off. What's your deal? Jackass? Comedian? or both? I just want to get that squared.

This is utterly baffling. How can you deny it when your posts are still posted? Do you take drugs? If not, then I'm convinced that you might be insane. Everything I quoted you on is a direct excerpt from the first and third posts on this thread.

From the first post on this thread, your third statement down...

From the third post on this thread, only statement on the entire post...

From my response detailing the error that I thought you were referring to...

It would be "You're an asshole." and not "Your an asshole." Like I said, it's no big deal, I was just teasing, but I don't understand your failure to grasp this situation. I didn't make anything up. Everything I've said you said is a direct quote from your posts. How can you deny it while it's still sitting here in this thread for everyone to see?

(Don't bother going back and editing to make yourself look right after discovering you are so blatantly wrong, I noted the time of the last edit on those two posts.)

I agree. It's almost unbelievable. I made one comment in a teasing manner a few days ago and now she's denying that she ever said any of the stuff. (Even though it's posted on this thread.) I sure didn't expect that my one teasing comment would require this much explanation.

jay o2 waster 05-10-2004 12:23 PM

when you put it that way, it does seem like things got a little out of hand

Indeed.

Haunted 05-10-2004 02:56 PM

Holy shit!!! I did totally fuck up! It was a total typo, but that wasn't what I was embarassed about.

Sorry. I did mess up. I just totally over looked that sentence.

I'm really sorry. :p

"The best laid plans of mice and men..."


I feel really bad, man. I'm soooo sorry. I didn't mean to be a bitch. I was concerned with using "its" and "it's."

A bit of proof reading would have seen to that.

Well considering you went back three days on the board to respond to it, I would argue that you do.
