| At the risk of becoming the brunt - hee hee - of another tirade,
| here's what I noticed about your last post Steve ;)
| * lack of capitilisation of first word - 11
| * no capitalisation of proper noun - 2
| * no capitalisation of personal pronoun - 3
i know, i know. it's a unix thing.
| * starting a sentence with a conjunction - 3
generally accepted as proper, however formally, a no-no.
| * sentence fragment - 1
i'm usually pretty good with those, as they are a pet-peave of mine. i'm
guessing it's the context of the response.
| * ambiguous meaning - 2
hmmm. context again?
| * incorrect spelling - 2
amazing, i'm shit-for-spelling. nntp posts just don't warrant me
spell-checking. 2 is actually pretty low for me. ;^)
| * incorrect hypenation - 1
i'd count that as spelling...so now it's closer to what i'd expect.
| * inccorect use of word - 1
hmmm...where?
| * word transposition (wrong transitive verb) - 2
really? i must have been out of it. where?
| * over using punctuation in sentence where splitting it would be
| better - 1
yeah, i like my elipses. ;^)
| * naughty rude words and comments - 3
lol. i don't think that counts to grammar. and as intent defines
'naughty/rude', i could have just as easily used no vulgarity at all, yet
levied the same message. proof that no word is naughty or rude. they are
just short-cuts to express intent. intent, btw, doesn't go toward grammar.
| * failure to define acronymn on first use - 1
RD is a common acronym in the context of those familiar with dyslexia and
thus, needs no definition.
| let me be the first to say, that I am particularly prone to all these
| faults and more!!
| so im the pot kalling the kettal blac!
we're all in the same boat, however i think you can view the op's posts and
compare the grammar against other posters to whom i've responded (without
mentioning grammar). among the vast array, you'll probably see when i have
hit a threshold. this op just had the whole post fubar - grammar being one
of the items i pointed out as whack.
cheers.
