Or are you coming to the next Europe NAO meeting?? *just curious*

i would love to go to Europe at some point in the near distant future...but being 16 and all it's a little financially difficult at the moment.

I'll probably travel in 2006, but i'm not sure if i'll make it to Europe...why is Australia in the middle of nowhere. hmph.

But it's on my wish-list

-Mel:P

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

See, the fact of the matter is that I have good scores in grammer at school; yet, when I take writing tests, I do so dreadfully awful. This is exactly what I hate because these damn writing test quiz you on the most useless things. Anyway, I have taken up the practice of annoying a myriad of people with these pointless grammer rules so I am able to correct my flaws in the process. I started with further and farther and never truly go off the subject. I figured it is too difficult to correct my family. My mom has too many grammer mistakes that one shouldn't even bother. My dad has perfect grammer except for further (definition of degree) and farther (distance). I started by correcting him with satisfaction because he is always correcting me. However, this has just become a bad habit (it seems like it is the only grammer rule I know); now I have to hit myself every time I correct someone because it has just become annoying. Otherwise, I'm the one who always stands in the Grammer Correction Crossfire... ohhh, that would make a cool drawing with my cowering under flaming grammer correction missles... I'll keep the title.

It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.

I do not mean to offend you in any way whatsoever, but I find it mildly humourous when, throughout this post, which is about grammar, you consistently spell the word "grammar" wrong. Sorry, I really could not help myself. :-(

This Loneliness won't leave me alone.

Good observation, but spelling grammar wrong is a spelling issue not a grammar issue

It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.

Heh... Grammar sucks. I try to use proper grammar usually, but its a bit hard with the world these days. In fact, i speak so fast that sometimes my words dont even form right, let alone be in proper grammatical order. :-P

Good point. Here are some errors that you made that are more structurally or grammatically oriented:

The semi-colon after school is unnecessary; it should be a comma. Additionally, there needn't be a comma after yet. Lastly, the 'so' before is very unnecessary, and makes it sound really upper class. (say it with a British accent and you'll see what I mean).

Anyway, I have taken up the practice of annoying a myriad of people with these pointless grammer rules so I am able to correct my flaws in the process. I started with further and farther and never truly go off the subject.

Watch the tenses. This should read, "I start with further and farther, yet never truly go off the subject," or "I started with further and farther, yet never truly went off the subject."
Also "these pointless grammar rules" should be singular, if you truly never went off the subject of further vs. farther.

Sorry to berate you and all, I'm in a bad mood and need to rant at someone, so I hope you understand that I'm not singling you out. I do this to everyone. Which is exactly why I'm an annoying little bastard. :-/

If i cared about my grammar, I would read over the passages I just wrote... seeing that i don't read over my passages, I don't care. School is different; i actually have to try over there. Sounding British is not a grammar error. I'm in a dumpy mood also... it is like we are twins... :-)

Heh heh. I wasn't mentioning the 'so' because it sounded British, but because it was unnecessary. Just to clarify. Hopefully I didn't offend any British folk.

Heh heh. I wasn't mentioning the 'so' because it sounded British but because it was unnecessary. I just wanted to clarify that. Hopefully, I didn't offend any British folk.
