…ahhhh…
memories…
People have been suggesting spell check, but it’s really grammar this kid has a problem with - loose for lose, your for you’re, myself instead of me…oh wait, actually you did that iampunha. I guess you’re not so perfect after all.
Before you rip the kid a new asshole look up the difference between personal and reflexive pronouns.
Personal to Candyboi - drop the goth stuff and just come out of the closet. It’s much more fun and the makeup looks better. Trust me, I know. Oh, and no one’s going to pay attention to you here until your post count is in the stratosphere - the best way to get it up there is to post either a)LOL! ROFLMAO! after every single thread or b) pointlessly critique everyone’s grammar. As you can see, in this post I have chosen b). But you can essentially ignore everything I say since I’m only at about 60 myself…
I think I reign as supreme mis-spelling queen, due to my quick posts while at work. I find that I’m not bothered about it much, because I don’t particularly irk people. If you are being a dick, likewise will be returned to you. So I would consider taking a lower profile until you’re willing to spend the time on you grammer. Then people will fame your for your content instead of technicalities.
And YOU should try not to make YOURSELF look like an ass… oh nevermind, too late! 
My sentence was perfectly legible. Was your response supposed to be an insult?
Consider me amused.
here are the bad spellers unite team and the “I won’t let anything pass by me” team spitting at each other.
Hi CB - I for one, appreciate the attempt you made in this thread topic to clean up the spelling et al. Especially the tendancy to not use capital letters - I see a lot of young folk do that (my son and niece for example), and IMHO, it makes anything and everything they write more difficult to read. Plus, it’s not even original - check out e e cummings (a poet way back when, I didn’t like his stuff, either).
But, I’m willing to cut you the slack you wish. There are quite a few teens on here, it seems. But, remember, too, please that it’s a public message board, so you’re just as likely to get a response from an aging hippie like me as another teen. ok?
Miscellaneous:
a) Damn. Once again Andros manages to say in 3 sentences what I failed to express in 3 posts.
b) I probably misspelled miscallaneous.
c) If you start a Pit thread about yourself, you will be flamed in it. It’s not our responsibility to not flame CB if he was too stupid to realize that. I still hold to the position that he does realize that and he wanted to flame and be flamed. Some of us enjoy this.
d)
This is bullshit.
For one thing, I have over 500 posts. CandyBoi has gotten more attention I ever have.
Positive attention? Strangely, we respect people who have proven themselves with good posts. Damndest thing, I don’t just go around assuming everyone I meet is a genius, I expect to have seen them do something smart.
So, yeah, more posts will give us a better idea of who you are. But if you just wander around padding your post count, you could have 6000 posts without ever making an impression. In which case, you’ll still be ignored.
The only way to gain respect is through quality posting. Sometimes that takes a while. And some people rack it up in an afternoon.
And finally, I am a teen and CB’s original post in the “High School Sucks” thread was annoying to me. However, he has cleaned up his act. If he would have let it drop the issue might have gone away. But he didn’t, and here we are.

Imagine, if you will, someone posting a GD question about woodworking that included a comment about driving the screws in with a ballpeen hammer. I would guess some subset of the Teeming Millions might point out that it was the proper use of neither the implement nor the fastener, and Ignorance would have been Fought. Others might chime in that, what the hell, it worked, regardless of how pretty or strong it turned out, and yet others would point out that certain posters had been known to use a #1 Philips when a #2 was called for, so their opinions on ballpeen hammers were useless.
CandyBoi’s original post consisted of 13 sentences, of which seven had errors in spelling, grammar, or usage. That’s over half, folks, and doesn’t include syntax and punctuation, and doesn’t reflect that some sentences had up to four errors each. He is really pounding in those screws.
So, should we let it slide? Getting more than half wrong is perfectly acceptable in other areas of life, right? Ordered hot dogs and got hamburgers? No problem, it’s still food. Don’t complain, the guy behind the counter is trying.
How much slack to cut, then? In this thread we have some folks who reverse the aphorism and contend that the mote in the critic’s eye disqualifies him from pointing out the beam. Life is easy, then, because you can be as sloppy as you want. Learning is optional. Instruction is elitist and insulting.
Others contend that a sense of proportion is required. Exactly! We’re back to that over half wrong part again. To me, that is a monstrous proportion and needs to be communicated. We aren’t doing CB any favors by letting errors packed that densely slide.
I agree with OpalCat:
But then, I agree with Diane as well:
Of course, that should read “GQ.” I planned that. Yup.
