It doesn,t bother me at all if people want to write like that. It,s their prerogative. I don,t care in the least. Just because they can,t tell an apostrophe from a comma does not mean that I shouldn,t give their arguments and opinion just as much weight as anyone else,s. [Jeez!] I always thought they typed like that becuase they were lazy. It’s harder to find the comma than the apostrophe! What’s the point, then? Just being “cute”?[/Jeez!] ---

dam. i let u guyz down obviusly in my last post. I wil try harder this time. the thing i really wanted to do was get as many plural’s in but put apostrophe’s before all the s’s, so they look like possessive’s. You know, like that. because that really really drive’s me nut’s. i want to scream every time I see the fricking “s” after a plural word. But then again, until recently I got “its” and “it’s” mixed up, and I used to do “alot” as well, so I shouldn’t get on my high horse. But I think the apostophe abuse is particularly evil and devilish. It drive’s me nut’s. I even bought a t-shirt from [angryflower.com](http://angryflower.com) (his apostrophe cartoon is priceles’s). Damn. That took too much effort. I will go lay (or is it lie?) down now. ---

My God that was a lot to get through. I’m going to say that when people post things that are that hard to read, they do it because they are either careless or purposely doing it to make some one else cringe. For myself I’m going to go with careless. Spell check is my best friend, I just don’t know it yet. My head hurts too, and if I gave anyone a head ache for bad grammar and spelling ever I’m sorry. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Monty \* > \*\*A more perplexing question is why Czarcasm used in one post “[moderator underoos on]…[/moderator underoos on]” & in the posting above he used “[moderator underoos off]…[/moderator underoos off].” Is this the fallout of a drinking game or what, Czar? \*\* “moderator underoos off” means acting in non-official, poster mode. “moderatory underoos on” means acting in Offical, moderator capacity. Now for the _real_ question: Is there a video of the underoos coming off? If so, where do I get a copy? P.S. I’ll settle for still shots. ---
