Now I feel bad because I couldn't resist the urge..

don't feel bad. I am always up to learn.

I know.. I'm a dick. I try not to do it, but it is somewhat of a compulsion. I can get past some things, but others just grate on me like fingernails on a chalkboard.

elsamurai, you have absolutely NO IDEA how hard I have been fighting the urge to give you hell about your use of the apostrophe. I am a horrible grammar nazi. I try to fight it, and I don't want you to think I am an asshole, because I enjoy your posts. So don't hate me for this..

You never use an apostrophe unless a word is either a contraction, like what's or isn't, or is showing ownership like Kevin's car or cat's claw. Kevin owns the car, and the claw belongs to the cat.
Things like I have 12 cats, and "sounds delicious" never contain apostrophes.

Like I said, you seem like a cool dude, and I don't mean to insult you, I have just noticed you always putting an apostrophe in words that are just plural. It is absolutely maddening for me!! lol

Okay, there... I said it. Maybe I'll feel better now.:You are an Angel..:

GreenJeans, I completely understand how something like this drives you crazy. Back when I was in the Navy, I used to correct my exwifes spelling errors in her letters to me and send them back with my letters. But in my defense, she really is an ignorant dumbass. If anything, she has even become more illiterate the older she gets.

I appreciate the solidarity.

I think it is a bit more acceptable for you to do it to your wife or kids or something, though. I used to be much worse, constantly having to correct random strangers on the internet, but I have tried really hard not to do it so much over the last few years. I have gotten better about it, but obviously I still haven't been able to overcome the compulsion. Apostrophes, and using words like to, too, and two, or their, there, and they're incorrectly bother me REALLY bad, and I have a really hard time fighting the urge to point them out. Also when people use phrases like "would of" instead of would've or would have, and other common phrases that people apparently don't understand. My friends rib me about my grammar compulsions all the time.

Anyway, my apologies for derailing the thread. Please, continue; I was never here..:No:

Incidentally, I thought you might find it funny that I actually sent an email to Mars Hydro a couple of nights ago offering to go through their website and correct all of the "Engrish" for them in exchange for a light. I don't expect them to take me up on it, but I thought it was worth a try.. lol

No it's the new android is on my phablet phone auto correct.

I'd end up shooting my phone if I tried to use it for this ( or any ) forum! How can you guys stand to work on that tiny screen with those shitty android/ IOS browsers???? It least it got a keyboard with my tablet, but even then I don't use it for forums.

Grammar and the internet, LOL

Lmao I find that hilarious, and hope they take you up on that offer. They have a thread on here now, if you would ever like to let them know again, that your offer still stands.
