Topic: Another grammar post, just because I'm a grammar whore.

First, let's rehash the basics.

Its-->Possessive word
It's-->Contraction of it is

There-->Go over there.
They're-->They're having a blast.
Their-->Their money left them after spending it hookers and alcohol.

To-->I'm going to the store to buy pie.
Too-->Not only are you ugly, you're stupid, too.

Finally, my last point, which is really more of a spelling thing. It's dammit, contradictory to damnit. This rule applies in America, though, I think.

I know I'm fighting a lost battle, but shut up. =P I don't know why, but grammar problems (not sentence fragments or run-ons, since they atleast do not much change the meaning of a sentence) really bug me.

Just take this post lightly.

The way someone spells bothers you that much?
Why? As long as you can understand what the person is trying to say then it's ok with me.

No, actually, it wouldn't be. It would be OC if I was spending a great deal of time perfecting my posts, not the posts of others.

I don't pester people about bad grammar. This was just a lightly taken thread that I hoped might clear up the speech just a bit.

Every dictionary I've checked has either no entry on this or "dammit". None of them have damnit.

Sadly, you are correct. It's a recent phenomenon, but the corruption does seem to be standard, now.

Seems kind of silly, to me.

Well, if we wanna get nitpicky, the best way would be "damn it." "Damnit" or "Dammit" are rationalizations, believe it or not, stemming from the idea being that "damn it" is blashempy (asking God to damn something). If you write it as one word, you could convince yourself that it's somehow less bad. Then, you say it as one word, and it's not blasphemic.

Same goes for "God damn it."

But damn it, that's just my view.

having correct grammer when chatting or messing around isnt(<---mistake) fun its(<---mistake) work! And (<---mistake) im not here to work im here to relax!

i(<---mistake) type and spell correctly when it really matters. Here the only thing i think that matetrs is getting a point across..if you would like i can type like MOG for a while till you beg that i use my shattered grammer as apposed to that monstrosity.

its just more comfortable for me

besides apostrophes are a pain in the ass to type all the time

A big pet peeve of mine: Acrosst

If I hear one more person say 'acrosst' instead of 'across' I am going to strangle them with my ponytail, then assault them with my bunnyears.

Then do a riverdance upon their forehead. The end. Narf!
