Why YOU'RE an idiot!

I liken grammatical errors (even on a message board) to wearing jeans and flip-flops to a job interview for a real job. I am fine with casual texting language, but confusing homonyms is not a result of texting convenience. I generally ignore grammatical errors, but I would not defend them.

Yeah, right. (in my Lumbergh to Milton voice.) Youu losted al you are credibiltie from the ctart with that errorr.

I hope people are kidding when they say I lost credibility w/ my error in spelling on a message board. Your (kidding...you're) missing the message that I was trying to make by deciding you were going to get hung up on a grammatical error.

Calm down. Be Patient! Greg is a good, smart coach

I just like pointing out grammatical errors.

It's early and the little guy just woke up. I was trying to get the message sent pretty quick before I had to go get him out of bed

Sorry.

I can't stand English 101. Half the time I am typing something with 5 other things going on. If you can understand the post then it is good enough for me.

**Clones85'** · 02-17-2008, 08:46 AM

Not sure the error that I made there? Either way this is getting annoying!!! And maybe a little embarrassing!!

**Clones85'** · 02-17-2008, 08:48 AM

Ah my fiance (Law student at Drake) just pointed out why it should be quickly. I hate her about as much as I hate you guys right now!!

Pretty quickly, not pretty quick.

Only pointed out to be funny and contribute to the dogpile!

How does an english teacher complaining about someone else's spelling use a work like 'unrestless'?

Mac is a good coach that will find success within the next two years.

Seems like you're insinuating that they're "just Drake".

You're right. Drake is the Big Kid on the Block this year. My point should have been UNI is fizzling bit by bit after McD left. Perhaps McD was better than the current coach. UNI won some big games this summer and was fine tuned. Yet, here they stand looking deflated. Even Creighton is looking green around the gills.

And Drake rolls on with two losss at SIU of 3 points and St Marys at 6 points. Not bad to have been in EVERY game so far. Drake RPI of 11 is big time: Scouting Report Game Plan

That said, Pomeroy has ISU at #97 with Iowa now at #106----http://www.kenpom.com/sked.php?y=2008&team=Iowa%20St.&t=p
We moved up 6 notches with the win yesteday.

Totally agree with Clone85's intent of the thread and how the "not sure Gmac should be our coach" crowd need to take a chill pill. It gets ******** at times but unfortunately that is typical of message board mentality.

n by da way i cud kare less about da grammatical and spelng errurs except for when der is no punctuation n proper use of kapital letters it really gets confusing to wread when dey dont use and and everything runs togeder so i need to take tylenol by time im dun reading their post udder dan dat osome post
