i'm sure most of you have seen the poster which bascially takes the mick out of bushes linguistics skill. however, one thing about that poster has always bugged me, and it's the main line,
"bush admits i am not one of the great linguists".
i've quoted it, so it's in speech marks. apart from that, that is it in it's fullness. spelling, punctuation and all. now, don't you think that someone critising someone for their linguistic skills should at least have basic grammer?
And anyone criticising the aforementioned poster should probably adhere to the correct use of language as well. 🙂

Why do you get to be the Kommandant? I want to be the Kommandant! 🙁
Originally posted by StarrmanYou cannot be the Kommandant because you don't know that you are allowed to put a comma before an and! Haven't you seen the movie Finding Forrester? Everything that I know I learned from watching Sean Connery movies, and that's saying a lot, buddy.

Jesus it hurts trying to type like that. My point is that everyone makes a few spelling mistakes or the odd grammatical error, especially mathematicians, and the way they are pounced on all the time irritates me. Apart from zzxx1 and Blobby, dey iz just stoopid.
GRAMMAR NAZI RULE NO.4: ONLY GRAMMAR KOMMANDANTS CAN MAKE RULES.
