So, it has come to my attention that quite a few people on the forums lack the grammatical skills taught in grade school.
I have concluded that perhaps this is because they have forgotten these lessons despite their necessity in life.
Therefore, I have decided to help those who have forgotten and refresh their memory with this thread. (I am not a grammar Nazi but I do appreciate a well written/typed sentence.)
Feel free to toss in your own two cents about what you think people need to remember about grammar!
Lesson One: There, Their, They're
There - A place | The car is over
there.
Their - Ownership | That is
their car.
They're - They are |
They're washing the car.
Lesson Two: To, Too, Two
To - Direction/Motion | I am going
to the store
Too - A lot, Also | There is
too much. OR I am going,
too.Two - A number | There are
two cats.
Lesson Three: Your, You're
Your - Ownership | Is that
your dog?
You're - You are |
You're an idiot.
Lesson Four: 'i' before 'e'
"This is only true after the letter 'c'" is a lie. (Weird, Neighbor, Weigh, Weight, etc.)
Lesson Five: l337

Seriously, type like a normal human being.
Lesson Six: Alot

Alot.
Lesson Seven: CAPITALS (For Reppy only)
THIS DOES NOT MEAN SHOUTING ANYMORE. It just means you want attention which will not be given because you are posting in an annoying way.
Lesson Eight: No, Know
No - A denial |
No, I did not kill that man.
Know - Intellect | I
know the answer.
Lesson Nine: Its, It's
Its - Ownership |
Its paint job is nice.
It's - It is |
It's not that pretty.
Lesson Ten: Choose, Chose
Choose - Present | I
choose you, Pikachu!
Chose - Past | I
chose Bulbasaur...!
Lesson Eleven: Loose, Lose
Loose - Not tight | That bow is
loose.
Lose - Did not win | You
lose.
Lesson Twelve: Our, Hour
Our - Possessive "we" | That is
our house.
Hour - Time | It is in the twelfth
hour.
