    Those that select my name from a directory when sending me email, then misspell my name at the top of the email.

    Word of advice, never visit Argentina. Most (and by most I mean MOST) of the language has been replaced with swear words, hell, it's sometimes a compliment to call someone a complete A-hole.

    I have an excuse for my bad grammar - i am not from a english speaking country, i actually never learned the language in school or from books. It is just a side effect of my learning of programming languages - in start i translated documentation word by word, and it slowly became exactly the opposite, i need to look up a word in a dictionary only once in a while...

    But back to the topic, actually the most annoying thing in english is in spoken language - when i hear in TV the "you know" 20th time in 1 minute, i go nuts :D.

    That sounds like me and my friends talking to each other... we're the most foul-mouthed horrible people to each other possible. It doesn't matter what you say/do then there is an insult because of it.

    Your just getting far too worked up about this, my friend. You should bring you're rig around one day, and we could play a few games. What's you're poison?

    Pete, I think you'll find all four options are fundamentally wrong on one or more levels :hehe:

    Likewise. Maybe it's because she is of the female persuasion.

    I always found that demonstration sentences used in English classes were always a little contrived - I'm just continuing the trend :D !

    Okay, here's a question regarding punctuation which I've never found a good answer to. When using quotation or speech marks, do commas go outside or inside? Also what happens to full stops (or 'periods' if you use a severely hacked version of the English language ;) ). Example:

    'Stop', said the man.

    Or is it:

    'Stop,' said the man.

    In regards to full stops, is it:

    The man said 'I don't care what you do.'.

    Or is it

    The man said 'I don't care what you do'.

    Finally, a quick word on smilies. I wouldn't dream of using them in formal writing but I believe they are extremely important on internet forums where a statement can be ambiguous in intent. Example:

    'I will hunt down and kill you for your poor English' looks a bit sinister.

    'I will hunt down and kill you for your poor English :hehe:' is far more teasing in nature.

    Exactly, if I ever used an emoticon we'd all know I'd gone round the bend and needed to be subdued. At that point, I may be armed.

    BRAWL, Marfan's is annihilating me for you.

    I like the cut of your jib though.

    Did you say your instead of you're on purpose? :hehe: And I would, except I blew my motherboard up :( Not back from repair yet. And since I don't drink alcohol, I'll have to go with Coke/Pepsi :D

    Fixed that for you :thumb:
