Please don't forget "to vs. too vs. two" & "affect effect". :)

I always laugh when someone thinks typing "your gay!!" is going to impress us.

You forgot "than" and "then" as well.

Affect/effect is kind of hard for us who do not speak English as our mother tounge because it's so much about context. So forgive us.  :D

Please forgive my lack of compassion. I didn't know foreign countries lacked dictionaries, books on basic grammar, or the internet. :)

"Grammar Rules for Affect and Effect

Now that we have the two definitions, how do we know which word to use? Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind:
1. If you are talking about a result, then use the word "effect."
Example: What effect did the loss have on the team?
2. It is appropriate to use the word "effect" if one of these words is used immediately before the word: into, no, take, the, any, an, or and.
Example: The prescribed medication had no effect on the patient's symptoms.
Example: In analyzing a situation, it is important to take the concepts of cause and effect into consideration.
3. If you want to describe something that was caused or brought about, the right word to use is effect.
Example: The new manager effected some positive changes in the office. (This means that the new manager caused some positive changes to take place in the office.)
4. Affect can be used as a noun to describe facial expression.
Example: The young man with schizophrenia had a flat affect.
Example: The woman took the news of her husband's sudden death with little affect.
5. Affect can also be used as a verb. Use it when trying to describe influencing someone or something rather than causing it.
Example: How does the crime rate affect hiring levels by local police forces?
Example: The weather conditions will affect the number of people who come to the county fair this year."

People who can't use basic grammar shouldn't be arguing. Any valid point (providing one exists) is usually obscured by how poorly their posts read. You end up laughing at, not with, them. :)

I am tired of the legions of mouth-breathers on here who do not understand the difference between these two grammatical choices.  Jesus christ it's not that hard.  Ron please sticky this thread.

You're = contraction of you are.  Should be followed by an adjective, e.g. you are this, you are that
Your = the possessive form of you, referring to something that someone has.  Should be followed by a NOUN, e.g. your car, your vagina, your striated glutes
Uh, You're does not have to be followed by an adjective.

Hope this helps.

Yes that is why I didn't say "have".

Keep trying to convince the board that you are smart TA.  Someday someone will believe you.

Shouldn't you have used a dash after at and no comma after with?

I guess Hulkotron is going to contact Cormac McCarthy soon and get after him for NEVER using quotation marks for dialogue.   ::)

i think your all fucked.  You are all so judgemental who fucking cares. If you had enough info to respond to a certain thread or post then what else do you need.   So many of you fucking wankers sit on getbig all day and night there by proving to the rest of us that you don't even make it to the gym.   99% of you fucks are fat lazy without employment.     If I cared enough to use proper grammar all the time then I would. However when chatting with a bunch of Internet twinks I just dont see the need.   I have learnt alot over the last 10 years on the net and the one truth is your gonna meet the biggggest group of losers online.  Everyone one is a critic and everyone is 300lbs @5%  bf with a million dollar annual income.

Everyone has been there and done that and is now an authority on the matter.  

I dont think Ron started this board for these types of people.    

So I want to be the first to come clean and expose my true idenity to the getbig brotherhood

My name is Clancy smith  I drive a 78 f 100 pick up  Im single as my wife left me for a younger man.  

I jerk off three times a day mostly to pictures of you all.  

I live in my moms basement and plan on moving upstairs once she dies.  

I dont have any real life friends.

All my friends live @getbig.com    without you all I might have killed myself by now  

heres a picture so you know who your talking to from now on
