Note to Meiapaul.
!'s are not used to show humour.



Why do I need to note that?

I believe you were the one that said they do. You yelled at my for not getting a joke because you put an exclamation mark. Those are used for yelling or emphasis on speech.

Another thing:
If I were you, I'd go kill myself.

The subjunctive mood should be used after if's and wishes (I wish I were at home), also in the singular.

Quoted :: SargeTron

Erm, wait a second! The most common mistake in the English language (even pros do it).

SargeTron's car.

The apostraphe constitutes a missing letter, so that says:

SargeTron is car.


I don't know what crazy messed up language you speak, but yes, apostrophe only goes on the end if it's a plural. eg. The generals' guns implies more than one general. The general's guns implies just one general.

The exception is if the word is already a plural without the s, eg. children becomes children's, not childrens'

that's the mistake everyone makes. but w/e.

Oh, and another very common mistake is not capitalizing "I". There is no word such as "i", it's "I".

Note the fact that nobody capitalizes "I" on the internet. Neither ingame, neither in chat, nor in forums. It is not a mistake when on the WWW, so do not correct it when people don't capitalize it, or else you'll hear some annoyed responses

not being a mistake doesnt make it wrong, people dont capitalise it on purpose because it's faster - but it doesn't make it correct english

I always put "I", even in chat. I don't put 'i". It just doesn't look right

Like with other stuff, just pressing shift automatically happens when I press the I key on its own, or when typing I'm, of course.
