    paraselene, that's not what you were saying about the spelling of the word 'definitely'.

    Common NT grammar mistakes:

    1. Double Negatives
    2. Ending sentences in Prepositions
    3. Misuse of Punctuation
    4. Plural Pronouns

    Of course the following as well:

    affect vs. effect
    assure vs. ensure vs. insure
    compliment vs. complement
    its vs. it's
    they're vs. their vs. there
    who vs. whom
    I vs. me
    that vs. which

    christalmighty. i didn't want to have to do this today, but now you've gone and forced my hand.

    thanks for the crib notes to remedial grammar, but we know all that already, so i'm just going to address the initial flaw in your logic:

    DISREGARD FOR and IGNORANCE OF are two completely different things. chossy has cultivated a strikingly original nt voice based on his obviously intentional exclusion of, as i stated, "punctuation and/or diacritical marks of any kind.'

    nb: i did not mention spelling errors, double negatives, split infinitives, etc. all of which you correctly announce to be mistakes. unfortunately, a 'mistake' is a priori unintentional, thereby losing its charm.

    qua: chossy is charming because he breaks the rules on purpose. his is a discrete syntactical and morphological form of irony and, in my opinion, is about as accidental as mx's brogue.

    can we please get back to the battle now?
