Default Grammar and Flame wars

I like how as soon as a flame war breaks out, eveybody on the board turns into an English major. [censored] every body.

Whenever I have a big paper due; I always come on and start a huge flame war, and slip grammar from my paper that I am unsure about into my flames.


If my teacher counts off for my grammar; I cite 2+2ers as sources as to why it is correct grammar. If he posts, he'll get flamed.


The Truth (if that is your real name),

As to your comma usages,

I hold that the statement "Commas are part of the syntax of written
>English" is true, for the same reasons that the statement "Commas are
>part of the syntax of FORTRAN" is true. You will immediately see the
>truth of the latter; but Saussure's (false) dogma that the only raison
>d'etre of written language is to represent spoken language may obscure
>the truth of the former for you.

Clearly you have no concept of value betting (i always like how the actual arguement for the flame war is like an unrelated side note to the poor grammar used by the villain).
