So do you!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to get back on topic then?

HAHA, thanks to Jeff/David who made this its own topic! xD
So yes, grammar... I've found that the majority of forums are lacking in this basic principle, and except for a couple of people, Wolfire has the most accurate grammar on a forum I've ever seen.
PROPS.

I can tell you're not from the US. In the US, correct usage would be VCRs. In the UK, correct usage is VCR's. So, technically, you're all right.

US English fails @ life & internet.
On another note, I beat the internet. Jesus was quite difficult.

What? I'm using the
US VERSION OF THE PLURAL OF VCR???
Well, I've always used a combination of US English and, well, "English, just English".

Examples of variations between US and UK English. Where UK English words end in "ise" or "our", US English words end in "ize" or "or". E.g. Socialise/socialize, colour/color.

I sometimes use socialize, sometimes socialise, but always use colour, oh wonderful strangeness of me!
