QUOTE(Musouka @ Jul 8 2005, 11:47 AM) A good way to figure out if you should use 'whom' or 'who:' Take the beginning of the sentence up to where you must place 'whom' or 'who' and place it at the end. Example: "Are you going to the movies tonight with ***?" Then decide whether him/her or he/she fits in the sentence. If it is either him/her, then use whom. If it is either he/she, then use who. Example: "Are you going to the movies tonight with 'him?' You would not say 'with he.' Therefore, the sentence requires a 'whom.' I love this thread. I am a writer, and misuse of grammar is one of my pet peeves. That's interesting. I'm glad I read that =). QUOTE(tweeak @ Jul 8 2005, 5:09 PM) You would think. But to be honest, she doesn't come off as particularly smart in person either. i guess she just has an amazing memory and studies all the time. she's very sweet, it's just...nonsensible "nonsensical" ;P |

that is a good way to remember "who" and "whom"
and also, people need to know how to spell sorry isn't that like the first lesson you learn in life?!? c'mon saying "sorry" is manners, and i don't like when people pretend they don't know how to spell. they act all ditzy saying "ohh really i thought it was sorrie" |

QUOTE(ORIGINELLAIDEE @ Jul 8 2005, 7:24 PM) just becAuse u think its that doesnt mean anyone else does. if i wanna tawk lyke this den let me b ight typing like that isnt like prostituting yourself. its away of expression If you want to type like that, no one will stop you but that doesn't mean we have to like that kind of writing. You don't have to stop but others don't have to not tell you to stop. You understand? You can type how you want, we can complain however we want about your typing. Works both ways, see? |

QUOTE(ORIGINELLAIDEE @ Jul 8 2005, 7:57 PM) It should be your own decision on how to write anything its a free country and using and substituting any word for your own is like making YOUR own layout or picture. you can do anything if you feel like it. people shouldn't change or not change just because you think it's annoying if a person didn't like how you yourself use youre expression you would be like F-off because its how you express yourself. If anyone chooses to use those same chracteristics to post there voice and to show off an example of themselves its there right. im not going on about snotty people talking about somthing they dont undersatnd and dont choose to understand im not making, no ones making anyone do anything they dont wnat to do. i can tawk lyke diz or not so can you. im just saying their is a post about people typing diffrently, so its ok to post about someone or something looking differently or having something different just because you people talking crap dont want to have anything with this. Because, you know, the way to express yourself is to invent your own grammar and spelling rules so that no one else can understand you. |

Actually... it was something to be added to your sarcasm. Not really in response to you. Maybe I should have clarified that. Your sarcasm was most obvious, of course.
QUOTE(sadolakced acid @ Jul 11 2005, 5:33 PM) it works when you're interviewing to be a games tester for nintendo. if you show up with a tie, you'r automatically out of consideration. I beg to differ. A games tester is someone that must provide feedback. If a person seems petty, they most likely wont hire. They do not need people that will just say: "OH MAN! It is just so awesome... the colors... whoooo!" They want professional feedback, and require technical problems to be discovered. |

Wouldn't they want a tester to go for something a general audience (or game player) would feel? Not for something professional.

They want professional feedback, and require technical problems to be discovered. i read an article on it in time magazine... i think what they want is to see if the gameplay is ok. the game programmers can easily detect teh technical problems. but they designed the game, they know how to beat it, so they can't really play it. |

QUOTE(HoodieObsessed @ Jul 12 2005, 8:43 PM) umm, alot of those are on purpose tho...this wasn't on the list but such as "tho", sure you should spell it "though" but umm, i'm too lazy to type three more keys? ya good excuse still, alot of those arn't spelling mistakes, they are shortened versions of the words that people use on purpose. Like azn, mah, and shyt. they use it cause they think it looks cool or something I donno. but I'm pretty sure they know that's not technically how it's spelt, and if they don't than well... ![]() why? Unless you find someone writting like that on an english paper why should you care? It's a forum on the internet, who cares if ppl want to abriviate some of their words to make it "easier" for them? ![]() People who get all upadee about this kinda stuff annoys me. Just cool down and don't take it seriusly, if you don't like the way they write, just ignore it. It won't kill you. I agree ![]() ![]() I think realizing the difference between "are/our" is a very useful, and helpful topic. This can be carried into writting things besides on the internet, and people who use those incorrectly do not realize they are doing so. I think you should have more things like that, rather than things that ppl spell wrong on purpose. Just my opinion. I can be wrong, and lame, so please don't put me on your enemy list ![]() alot isn't a word. ![]() |

It was nice, but sometimes people accidently spell things wrong. For example, they are typing really quick, so the letters just become all mis-placed in the word. I am sure you can guess when they write something wrong on accident, or on purpose.
For example: QUOTE I thought your favorite number was 1, adn 2!! You are so confusing! ^Did you notice the, "adn"? I am sure they know how to spell, "and", just a mistake. Here is something people write on purpose: QUOTE iduno...wut do u think?" iduno=purpose wut=purpose u=purpose Again, this is the internet, sometimes you might not know if they write it on accident, or on purpose, but when they re-write it the same way over and over, it becomes obvious. Just wanted to clairfy that, because on my old screename, i wrote, 'teh(the)', and someone started bashing me. |
