You have a good memory.
I was gonna call you out on 18 years being way too long ago... Then I realized that 2005 was, in fact, 18 years ago. I feel old now.

Your so write about there basic grammer beeing so terrorible. It was so incredibly alloying.
This gave me a headache.
Your weary welkome
I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”
Its nice when somebody gets it right.
*get's
I read you're comment and it's usage of its isnt correct 😳
(this killed me to write haha)
And its a great feeling!
Its awesome isnt it?
its it's own reward
It's sure is! /s
Agree, its refreshing to see people bring there best grammar skills.
Not every lemming is a native speaker.
For real, its not that hard to get it right.
I don't get it, its not that hard, each word has it's proper grammar and usage.
Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.
Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That's a good thing.
I barely know what website I am on either
or there and their
it's a typo unlikely to be made by ESL posters
