Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.
msalwaysright:
I'm finding it incredibly ironic that it either refuses to capitalize the 'I', or leaves it out of the sentence altogether, but is so obviously full of self importance.
Why this aversion to giving the personal pronoun it's proper due, while insisting on special treatment for itself?
What manner of psychosis is this? Someone with learnings of psychology please explain.

Yet, most of us know using a conjunction to start a sentence is bad form in proper English and grammar.
This is an outdated rule and something that can be used occasionally for effect. I would question your comma use in that sentence, bee tee double u.
What next, arguing that we should adopt the new spelling of "cooky?"
Did someone miss that mickeyjr started that sentence with a conjunction? On purpose? :D
Gotta love it!

I had always thought it was spelled "kooky". Though now I crave a cookie.

And it's not like our modus operandi is not well known around Sims forums. Why n00bs come to MATY and feel that somehow the MATY culture just doesn't apply to them, because they're so speshul, is beyond my comprehension.

Very well, have it your way. Corrected. Now you'll likely point out that this post does not include complete sentences. There is some license to use conversational speech constructions, lolcat speak, and other "non-standard" forms of phrasing. You have to know when this is appropriate in the given cultural context. Similarly, you might want to consider the appropriateness of strangers coming into your house to criticise your table manners.
I have, this time, picked up my fork in "deference" (and I use the word advisedly) to your sensibilities. Pray don't make me use it.

LOL, yes I did. Talk about noobism. I should have started it with however or something like that. I wasn't paying attention and it bit me in the ass.
P&L at me. Teach me for correcting someone. I think I'll go LURK MOAR.Quote from: jolrei on 2009 May 29, 18:44:29

No, I screwed up using "Yet". I will pay for it I'm sure.
