You guys sure argue enough. Some of you argue just for the sake of argument, regardless whether you're right, or wrong, or that you have any facts supporting you.

I definitely think some of you guys should pursue a career in litigation. :thumbsup:

Edit: Thanks ATOT, I'm slowly but surely improving my grammar and spellings by posting here. You guys make a guy dreams come true... :confused:

Some of us might like to argue, but here are a couple reasons as to why we are not all lawyers:

1) This is the internet
2) Law school is expensive
3) Don't want to become a lawyer
4) Interested in something else/content with current occupation

"Why aren't some of you become lawyers?"

Why aren't some of you take grammar lesson?



Oh, I see we already covered that.
Besides, if I became a lawyer, I could no longer use the acronym IANAL, and I'd miss it terribly.

Because we aren't speak Engrish good enough.

Edit: There's too many lawyers as it is. Who wants to end up working for an ambulance chaser after 7 years of school?

It is too bad your mother wasn't a lawyer and more familiar with Roe vs. Wade.

I like SSSnail, but I can't turn down a good opportunity to quote AYBABTU.

I post on ATOT, therefore I AM a lawyer. I'm also an engineer, doctor, pilot, historian and general.

Some of the members here already are (DevilsAdvocate), and some are already attending law school (LordSegan).

I find a lot of the responses to be funny. It's no secret that English is not my first language, and I never claimed to be an expert at it. What's funny about this is that some of you are actually either in the same boat (no pun intended) or even worse than me at the command of the language.

If I actually care about what I post on an online forum, my posts may have better resemblance to the acceptable structure of the English language, or better contents. You see, by being anally retentive about someone's mistakes doesn't actually make you a better person, or superior in any ways. Perhaps that's how you would feel, but in reality, nobody really gives a sh!t.

Take randay for example, I'm sure if I do a search on all his postings, I'd find many laughable mistakes. Not just in grammar, spellings but probably contents as well. Judging from what I've seen so far, I'd venture a bet that English wasn't his first language either. Moral of the story? Quit making an ass of yourself.

I could care less.

What is your first language?

BTW, don't say "I could care less" or the grammar nazis will destroy you. The more correct form is "I could NOT care less."
