Generally, we're talking about rock and roll and the lifestyles of folks who like it.
Therefore, pointing out sporadic incorrect expressions of its/it's/its' there/their, verb tense, and the placement of quotation marks, etc, is ridiculous.
To me, knowing the difference between they're/there/their is as simple as 5x3. It's something we all learned in grade school and we use those words on a daily basis so i don't get how people forget the proper usage.
I hate it when English speaking people put others down about their grammar. ESPECIALLY on msg boards :rolleyes:.
I know the basics of 6 languages and can speak 4 of them, of which three fluently. So who cares about some spelling mistakes, it is communication that matters!!
And on a msg board like this it is great to be able to meet people with all kinds of nationalities and backgrounds.
I actually believe that the level of English on this board may scare some people off.
I definitely wish I was able to express myself better in English on this board (even though I believe my English is already quite well).
I always ask people who do not appreciate me speaking their language to try and speak some Dutch...that shuts them up!
I dont mind writing in English, but please have some respect for people whose mothertongue isnt english!

Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?
Listen, no one is advocating that people should post like they have been sniffing glue and/or paint. However, it is a rock band's message board, not a "Post your thesis about your hatred for corporations and your love for non-profits and grocery co-ops!" forum.

Aw...that was almost as funny as the Chinese restaurant story.

See my above post...not all are English speaking by nature. Many on this board aren't.

It is simple. But again, some folks type out quick posts in between phone calls, etc, at work. And whoops, maybe a typo gets out. Message boards are more of a conversation anyway, with a lot of fragments instead of full sentences.
I totally understand your point. My beef is with the people whose first language is english.
Your beef? :eek: Is this thread about to get violent?

english is such a complex language. it borrows from every other language and that is why is will continue to thrive.

I really don't care. I encourage everyone to be as stupid as they want to be. Oh, and I like the R n' R lifestyle just fine. In fact, I'm actually in a band and drink and do more drugs then probably ten of you combined. Yet, I can still manage to write a legible sentence. Go figure...

From the original post:
When asking someone about their biggest annoyances in life, you might expect responses like “hunger,” “being poor,” or “getting shot.” If you ask a white person, the most common response will likely be “people who use ‘their’ when they mean ‘there.’ Maybe comma splices, I’m not sure but it’s definitely one of the two.”

Fanch, if I told you Motley Crue sucked you'd take exception to it, yes? You'd probably try to correct me? I don't think Motley Crue are any more "rock n' roll" than correct grammar.There's nothing wrong with correcting someone's grammar if you're not an asshole about it. I sincerely hope someone would point out if I kept saying something stupid so I could correct myself and not do it in the real world where it actually matters.

Not my biggest annoyance by far. I just don't understand all the misusage. I don't buy the "it was a typo"....the fact is, some people just don't know when to use either form of the word. I don't get it.
Whiskey and porn stars, hot reds and car crashes, black leather and high heels, overdoses and death. This is the life of M÷tley Crne, the heaviest drinking, hardest fighting, most oversexed and arrogant band in the world. Their unbelievable exploits are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. They nailed the hottest chicks, started the bloodiest fights, partied with the biggest drug dealers, and got to know the inside of every jail cell from California to Japan. They have dedicated an entire career to living life to its extreme, from the greatest fantasies to the darkest tragedies. Tommy married two international sex symbols; Vince killed a man and lost a daughter to cancer; Nikki overdosed, rose from the dead, and then OD'd again the next day; and Wick shot a woman and tried to hang his own brother. But that's just the beginning. Fueled by every drug they could get their hands on and obscene amounts of alcohol, driven by fury and headed straight for hell, M÷tley Crne raged through two decades, leaving behind a trail of debauched women, trashed hotel rooms, crashed cars, psychotic managers, and broken bones that has left the music industry cringing to this day. All these unspeakable acts, not to mention their dire consequences, are laid bare in The Dirt.
Ok! But you dont always know whether their first language is indeed English or not. Would you have guessed mine wasn't?
Whatever though, i don't believe it is all that important...
*shrug*
have a great day y'all!
and also some people just can't spell... there's a guy here at work, pretty intelligent but he can't spell for shite. I'm not gonna patronise him and make fun of his spelling, just cos I CAN spell, he's got plenty of things he's better at than me.

See, I always thought rock n' roll was a type of music :rolleyes:
Also, killing Razzle from Hanoi Rocks is included there. How fucking cool is that... death by dangerous driving?
Not that this has anything to do with the thread.

I have to take your side briefly, if only because that's one my favourite lyrics ever and I quote it whenever women are getting me down (two, maybe three times a week).

I know all about Snoop, Dre, G-Funk, "Ain't Nothing But a G Thang" and "it's like this and like that."
I can quote Snoop without looking up the lyrics online.
Obviously you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic. And you don't use quotations when you quote him, actually.
But I'm not even going to dignify the racist comment with a response.
This whole thread is preposterous and will be locked before dinner time.
