Hehe and we needed an American to tell us that. I felt it indiscreet to draw attention to that fact considering her motivation..which is why I added it somewhere ( in brackets) without actually pointing to it. Still Texans are known for theirQuote:

Also the i before e rule needs some clarification .
Neither, nor, either, or..all possible candidates for the completer guide.
So is it: "Its kinda stupid" or "It's kinda stupid."
The correct form is it's, because in actuality you are making a contraction of It isQuote:

Nope, I have no idea what that means.
So...does a comma appear before the word 'but'?
ex. "I did everything she told me, but I ran out of time for the extra stuff."
I swear to god I've seen both and last time I did grammar was...well...its not even worth mentioning because no one concentrates on it anymore.
Least not where I'm from. :dry: True story.
I should probably pay more attention to the books I read...:dabs:
It depends.
Yes, I did. I changed the comma after "Why" to a question mark, Capitalized the i in "it" and fixed the spelling of "sence". Those are technically three things, but I consider the capitalization of the "i" a part of changing the comma to a question mark.Quote:

Ok yes, I have traded some in the past. However, if you read the comments, you will see the majority are for giveaways. So don't be too quick to judge.Quote:

BTW, why can't people spell the word "sense"?
How do you "...do too quick to judge"? That makes no sence.
:D edited. ThanxQuote:
