"If it WERE" not "If it was" were is used for speaking hypothetically.

Finally! One of my pet peeves is bad grammar online! ;D
You should put me here, because I'm terrible at Grammer.
As my sis likes to say for laughs:
Don't need none of dat Grimmer! LOLÂ :P
Hides himself so he won't get arested...
I know my grammer is terible but it probably won't get mutch better due an ilness in my head. :-[

Spelling police! Sir, I am giving you a ticket for $120 for spelling both "reach" and "arrest" wrong. The ticket also includes improper pronoun usage: utilizing "his self" instead of "himself," then later using "me" which does not correspond correctly. Another offence, and you will go to Spelling and Grammar School! :P
Yeah! Bails Shadowfax with 1,000,967,352 Swiss Gergenshnikles. (GURG-IN-SHNICK-ELZ)
Sorry for double posting but having looked at what you are trying to show me, well, the puzzle actually does not work like that...1st. I haven't said you should mix all words together, only one word at a time.
There are no missing letters, although the spelling is altered to how you SAY the words as opposed to how you read them...
Sorry, it is a different type of puzzle, apologies for not making it clear!

Hmm, due to your impeccable grammar and highly skilled vocabulary, I declare you to be head of the spelling police!Can I still arrest people for bad spelling? XD

Hehe, bad grammar is annoying in general! Is it a big problem where you lot hail from? I am not annoyed by bad grammar simply because I live so near London and in SE England, bad grammar is in the blood of everyone! You would be driven mad otherwise!I know "can" is considered acceptable these days, but I still say it's "may". Strictly speaking, you CAN do anything, the question being only if you MAY.
The latest trend I have heard, several times, are people saying "Can I LEND a pencil" when it should be "Can I BORROW a pencil"...Pilchards the lot of them!)
Ther issss a , re son Im'' .. in. here? ! ,a nd ypou no it...Zounds! That is one messed up post :P
Then they shouldn't be able to lock people away for disobeying the law :P
Technically if it's a free country there shouldn't be laws, because where is the freedom in that :P
Anyway, no one ever said it was a free forum XD
:o You said the Z-word! :P
But if a law restricts your freedom to kill someone, it protects someone else's freedom to live. :PI wasn't referring to harming someone else. I'm talking about restricting alcohol from people under the age of 18 and such. That harms no one but the person that chooses to do it. So I still say freedom isn't very free. :P
If you've lost the will to live, you need to see a counselor. Buuuut you're just being hypothetical.I haven't lost the will to live, just don't really care about living. :P
I don't care about it either, but that could be because I consider life pointless.It is pointless. I mean sure there are great experiences but I'm impartial to it all. :P
But life is full of cool experiences and fabulous people!But that itself, doesn't really give it a meaning or a point. :-\ Rather the reverse.
The point of life is 24. :P
Thank you, Yonkey. ;D Hopefully, no one will use "fwee-dumb"! :PAnd yes I was going to use fweedumb before you said "hopefully no one will" :P

First of all, you just spelled "grammar" incorrectly. :P Second, you said "much spoilers." "Spoilers" is a countable noun and therefore should be used with "many." :PI'm good. Maybe I should join the grammar police! :P
As I said earlier I can draw some backrounds. (In paint.)

Me and my long posts.My long posts and I. :P
Me and my long posts.My long posts and I. :P
Actually, what you were "correcting" was a sentence fragment, so there is no way to tell whether it would be "me and my long posts" or "my long posts and I." :P
Now, you'll see that he posted it as an entire sentance. :Pwell all I have to say is that My support is here no matter how long it takes to get this game out.
I’m with you there.My opinion is that fan games should contain a notice that all copyrights are held by the owners of the authorized games, even on "original material."
People deserve the right to control what happens with their products. If you made something, we’ll say a goodly character, and somebody took it and was turning it into a depreciating mockery of what you intended, to such an extent that when anybody saw your character that whey would think of only that mockery and not what you created or intended than you would want to have control, therefore copyright, of your character to have that project halted until your character was removed or you came to an agreement with the project creator about how you wanted your character handled. I understand VU’s concern and I can also understand why POS would want to copyright their own unique characters. Who knows if TSL does well then maybe later some of POS’s characters might appear in a VU KQ game?!Forgive my unknowlegable reply, but what does fealty mean?
He he If in doubt look it up. That’ why I like this site. http://www.m-w.comI must concur, however if VU does release their own KQIX someday, it would be wise of us to support it (if it carries on the adventure tradition.) If we don't, and we kill it, then we may kill off commercial adventure gaming in its entirety.
I agree. (Lets not kill it before it’s born. :))It would really have to be good for me to support a VU made KQIX. Simply put: if it lacked the story, artwork, and quality that our game has, I would not play it. But more specifically, if it was some lousy attempt at a continuation (i.e. MoE, LSL:MCL) rather than a true KQ sequel, I would definitely not support it.
I would like to think that I would at least buy the first one if for no other reason then to show support but if there ended up being a second game and it still didn’t measure up then no I would not.
Me and my long posts.
But it's always like that. :P You can't say "Me and my friends", :P It's always been "my friends and I" :PMe and my long posts.My long posts and I. :P
Actually, what you were "correcting" was a sentence fragment, so there is no way to tell whether it would be "me and my long posts" or "my long posts and I." :P

b) You need 't use the euro as national currency when you're part of the EU
I meant "in there" is two words, not one :PI wasn't sure, that's why I clicked the 'Spell Check'-button but the Spell Check didn't (and still doesn't) budge at it being one word. So the question is: when can it be used as one word? :-\
Perhaps the guy that created the Spell Check dictionary works at http://www.inthere.com/ ? ;-D
For resources and information on Bicycle and WindowsXD :lol:
It can never be used as one word! It just isn't! :P*asks Neil to update the spelling checker* ;D
Apparently spaces don't faze the spellchecker. XD Try spellchecking stuff like bananaphone and trumpethog and purpletable.Then how does it know 'Of course' isn't one word?
Forsooth how horrible for thou.

A spelling bee!Never heard about a spelling bee until now. Okay, maybe I've read about it somewhere before, but nowhere locally. So either there are no spelling bees here, or I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time to get such information.
Really? It's basically just the name for a spelling competition. I'm sure you've been in them before, they probably just have a different name over there. :PNope, no spelling competitions. Just spelling tests in school, which I always excelled at. :D Can't remember which, if there was any, word I choked on.

Thou=Direct pronoun
Thee=Objective case pronoun
Right? XD Yeah. Ok. "For" is a conjunction. It is not a preposition and not anything else that makes you use objective case. You would say "for I" if you were grammatically correct. :P
Now someone split this. I'm sorry. XD
But yeah, he's right. XD Both my mom and I have problems with conjunctions and comparitive thingies in grammar, the former most likely causing the latter. :PAnd I have a problem with (remembering) grammar (rules), period. 8)
Sorry, that last part isn't intended to be directed solely at you but rather moreso at these grammar threads in general.
...Also, Yonkey, I saw the previous post about misspelling "than." :suffer:Yeah, his missing comma really threw me off. XD But, the rest of his post did show potential. :)

I'm correcting grammar for the sake of doing so and my post count. :P More the latter than the former, though. At least "teh" is done on purpose whereas you might really not have known that it shouldn't have been "like me". ;)I know I've done it time and time again myself, but it recently started bothering me so I'm going to start reprimanding anyone who ends their sentances with prepositions.
And "Do as I." might work better than "Do like me." :P
You say this to a person(and forum) that uses words like teh and adds s to plural words? There isn't any sport in shooting a sitting duck. ;)
You're not helping your case any, you know that? :PFirst of all, if you want me to stop posting, you should say so outright and not "subtly" hint at it.
Words of advice: if you wouldn't post it if the forum lacked post counts, odds are you shouldn't post it(this also helps keeping you off Spamwatch). :P

Rückbezüglich if the German word sounds anything like the Dutch one.We didn't 'loan' that particular word from the German. However, If I translate the different parts of the word literally into Dutch, I think I can make it into what I though it means when I translated it from English. My mind didn't boggle because I couldn't translate it or anything. It boggles because I lack any knowledge of grammar-terms. Sure, I can use grammar rules when I type or talk, but ask me about what term a word is, I wouldn't know, not even in Dutch all the time. :-\
Well, I've always done it like "Tess'" because I was taught that if a word ended with an "s" and you were going to make it possessive, you just add an apostrophe.That's how I was taught it too. The first time I've ever seen it was on the word: Thomas'. :P
Makes sense. :yes: Thanks, now I can tell my mom she's most likely technically been doing it wrong all these years. ::)Aww, dang it. She was right all along. XD *plans to use Tess's anyway* :P
