ok, i have a huge pet peve that i need to get off my chest. this pet peve is grammer, one of the simplest things on earth. i have been on the internet all day because i had nothing better to do (im sick of aquarium junk and painting). and as i have been reading things, i realize how poor grammer is becoming. for instance someone said on the internet "he make him do all of that stuff"!!! and to top it all off people are even using words incorrectly. now, dont get me wrong, i make typos all the time but this is different. these are cases of intelegence, or lack of intelegence! im sorry but it makes me more and more ticked off every time i see something like this! hehe

cmon ric... what if someone had a big problem with not capitolizing at the start of each sentence... or not using the proper punctuation... or not using apostrophies... or starting a sentence with a conjunction... or misspelling the word grammar... they would be goin crazy over your post...

You didn't mean to spell grammar incorrectly nor did you mean any of the other errors you made. I guess it is just a case of "intelegence"

I think the only thing that annoys me more than improper English is hypocracy.

Ric, you were not trying to kid with anyone. Don't try to play it off now. I understand how you feel, but how can you get angry or have a "pet peeve" over something that you do.

I don't know who your question is directed to. However, the problem with the thread is that he is saying how he hates improper grammar. It is hypocritical to question somebody's intelligence when you can't write any better. Intelligence is a pretty broad topic. If you can't work well with numbers but are a gifted writer, does that make you unintelligent? Most would say no. However, if the person who is a gifted writer makes fun of somebody who can't do algebra, you might not pay a whole lot of attention anymore.
