I cant take it anymore! It’s a TRACT house not a TRACK house

[LookoutBelow]

I really don't like it when people incorrectly use the words "George Bush" instead of the more correct "asshole"

This example of points of confusion was the BEST however ! LMAO

This has been a wonderful thread. I am pretty sure I have been guilty of ALL of those grammatical and occaisonal spelling errors myself, I dont have the balls to look back and see. Too destructive to my sensitive ego.

Who knew James Brown was so grammatically correct.

Speaking of “exception,” what the heck does “the exception that proves the rule” mean?

OK OK OK I got it !!!

Thanks for setting me on the right tract, I mean track.

Man ho Man are you guy’s touchy.

See this is what happens when you write stuff like below all day for a living.

pNSPerStreamCounterInfo->u64TxFrames.low = LVAL(pIn, iOffSet);

Nor-La-Temcu-SD-GUY, I concur. Maybe we should just start writing you + me = good. I++ (your_comment)->code. :-).

Not knowing a damn (or is it damned) thing about it, I’d say that “pNSPerStreamCounterInfo->u64TxFrames.low = LVAL(pIn, iOffSet);” must be computer code.

I guess after writing all day where every single keystroke must be correct, you’re happy to rip through a blog entry without concern for every little nitpicking (or is it nit picking) thing.

My job involves rapid-fire decisions all day long. Then, when I get home to my wife, she can’t understand why it takes me five minutes to decide what I want for dinner.

Same type of thing, probably.

Considering your circumstance, I’ll give you a pass. Everybody else, get your colons in order!

Thank you for your kind words. It is unfortunate that in times of great turmoil certain unnamed individuals on this thread can not grow a personality or a sense of humor. Oh yeah and it also pisses me off when people use the word “challenged” instead of “retard”.

[Chrispy]

Does the word semi-colon mean half-assed?

[Anonymous]

Ok Chrispy..you get 2 points for that.

tract2 (trkt) Pronunciation Key Audio pronunciation of “tract” [P]n.

Commonly distributed randomly amd anonymously.

And without any soul? Sound familiar?

Issues within this thread include the following:

1) “you guy’s”
2) Healthily is not a word. I think the correct usage would be, “I eat healthfully.”
3) “There’s a lot of blogs” should be “There are…”

Just thought I’d jump in… and yeah, this is all way too anal.

Insure, Ensure, Assure.

For some reason, hardly anyone knows what “ensure” means. Instead, they use “insure”. It’s everywhere. All over marketing literature after multiple “professionals” have proof-read it. Uggh.

Insure – to protect against loss with a policy of some kind. e.g. An insurance policy! I want to insure my car.

Ensure – to make certain. e.g. “To ensure good results, chill the milk before adding”. See how weird “insure” is here? Are you going to purchase a policy that protects againsts bad results if you add warm milk?

Assure – I dunno. Too late to think… To comfort or state confidence, I suppose.. e.g. “I assure you that my homework will be done on time”.

To the person who started this thread: “I” is spelled with a capital letter. It’s not “i”.

[CardiffBaseball]

This being the internet and all we can’t forget the constant use of loose in place of lose.

Is it correct to say George Soros, or better to say douchebag?

[sdduuuude]

Lots of Errors Here

[Chrispy]

Healthily is a word:

healthily

That said, healthfully is used more often, except for when you’re eating pork rinds.

How about “I could care less” when it should be “I couldn’t care less”?

Irregardless is not a word – because the “ir” at the beginning and the “less” at the end are both negatives. Regardless is what should be used, or irrespective, or “forget about that part.”
