Foo - PSA: Grammar nazis

Unless the plaintiff has proven superlative skill in using the English language, I hereby declare it illegal to make a post bewailing someone else's tawdry exploitation of the same.

Thanks,
The Management

tawdry?
Man...I thought that was a description of wenches used by pirates or actually describing the women that pirates liked. But heh...I'm not bewailing or anything like that.

Management?

You don't even have a star!

Poor grammar does bug me on occasion, but I know that my own grammar isn't perfect, so I tend to shy away from correcting others. I just know that if I were to do so, I'd make a huge grammatical faux pas in the process. :)

Advice and Advise are not the same word.

The majority of BF posters are unaware of this fact.

It's not appropriate to use an apostrophe for a plural noun. :p

Fixed.. :p

I think for the most part I'm pretty good with grammar, but those two words kick my ass every time I want to use (one of) them. :o:(

What the hell is PSA?

What the hell is PSA?

Public Service Announcement.

I think for the most part I'm pretty good with grammar, but those two words kick my ass every time I want to use (one of) them. :o:(

Rule of thumb (for about 90% of the time you want to use them):

Effect = noun

Affect = verb


Most of the time.

Public Service Announcement.

It's also:
+ Photographic Society of America
+ Prostate Specific Antigen
+ Production Services Associates
+ Professional Sports Authenticator
and
+ the stock sybmol for Public Storage

I've tried and tried to get a grasp of that but it seems like every time I need to use one of them, my brain just shuts off.

I'm a mod on another board(actually started the board years ago). I've always tried to use the best grammar I knew how. It drives me crazy trying to read some of the garbage that gets posted. The board owner doesn't give a damn, so I quit caring.

don't forget
