Spanish: Tu tienes mucho tiempo.

English: You've got no life at all, have way too much time, and need to understand only 1 or 2 people will read that and fix maybe one mistake thanks to it. Thats all.

NO! tEH GRAMMAR. it SUCKS an iHATE it. YOUcompain to much. OMFG MAN go outside. If you seriously spent the time to write all that out because it bothers you so much, maybe you should go somewhere else. This isn't english class or formal in any way, shape, or form. Try going outside. See how people talk away from the computer. I work in downtown LA and can assure you that peoples' typos here aren't that bad compared to most.

Thanks for your input; move along now...

You gotta love people that can dish out criticism but can't take it.

Huh? First of all I'm not criticizing anyone; if you'd read my post you'd have seen that. Secondly, how am I not "taking" your criticism? What exactly would constitute "taking it?"

Should I lower myself on bended knee and profess your supreme knowledge? I'd say I "took" it pretty well -- no flaming or ad hominem, just a simple response that your input was duly noted, but I don't really care. Now will you move along?

I'm sure most people know how to put together grammatically correct sentences and can't be bothered to do it.

I wish I could agree, but I can't be that optimistic after being here for more years than I can count on one hand :Q
You only have eight fingers?

Also, you forgot to add a period again... :p

"on one hand"

The emoticon serves as a period :)
Ahh... I was assuming eight fingers = four fingers per hand. It says you've been a member since Oct 1999. Well, that means you've been here four years and change, right? Now let me do some math...

RRrrrrgghhh! 4... <= .... 5!
Hmmmm.

Unless you're counting years from before you registered... which everyone knows is cheating. :p

Actually I was considering years on the board before FuseTalk, which were probably at least two or three, making around six or seven years on ATOT boards.

Here's one that makes me cringe:

definately, defiantly etc.

The correct spelling is definitely. It is really not that hard to remember when you look at the root of the word:
finite -> definite -> definitely
