(no subject)
Check out my nifty new (old) trunk. I'm going for irony and keeping computer related objects in it.
I was going through one of my class notice boards and came upon:
Good Luck to All in this final semester!!! and for those still with a few more to go, KEEP IT Up. BUT GOOD LUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk TO ALL!!!!
It brought out my inner grammar Nazi and I started on this:
It looks like you are writing a notice board post and it seems you have run into a little trouble. Let's back track a little and see exactly where you exhibited your blatant disregard of the rules of the English language.
"Good Luck to All in this final semester!!! and for those still with a few more to go, KEEP IT
Up. BUT GOOD LUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk TO ALL!!!!"
You started off so well. A capital letter to start the sentence, congratulations, but then what is this? The next word starts with a capital too. This is bad, and you can't pass it off as a typo because "All" also contains a capital. The sentence ends with three exclaimation points. The rule for exclaimation point usage is one or none, and I don't think that this
It was about here were I spoke to Sam about it and he talked me out of posting it because apparently no one likes a smartarse who takes things too far... and well I decided that having it post with my full name was probably something I didn't want the lecturer to see, besides I felt better after writing it, so I didn't really need to post it.
