Re: I seek attention
NASCAR is an acronym that stands for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. The only time you ever need to italicize a word is if it is a proper title, such as the title of a novel or book, or if you are emphasizing the word in a figure of speech. I'm guessing you thought I was wrong in the former sense, but as NASCAR isn't the title of a book (and if it is, I wasn't referring to it), it doesn't need to be italicized. Italicizing NASCAR is a mistake. Have you ever seen any acronyms that are italicized? Exactly.
Note: You technically could italicize if you were referring to NASCAR as a TV channel or program. I only referred to it as an acronym for the sport, meaning it was correct NOT to italicize it.

ROFL
I find it hard to believe that Ren(real) actually pissed someone off to this degree... Ren(gay), what's your problem with Ren(real)? Aside from his games of whack-a-noob (which you can't take personally), he's a great guy, from what I've seen in my time here. He's never made me feel uncomfortable or, god forbid, bad. His colored text is like his calling card, or trademark. I like it, I don't have to look at his DP or his name to know who he is.
Anyway, I'm done, say what you will.

Geez is not a word.
I hope you realize that both grammar-Nazism-to-an-extreme-degree posts were complete jokes. Well, everything I said in them is true... but... erm... jokes in the sense that they comically deprive the OP of his pride and give him what all the kids are calling a 'burn'.Yes, the 'what all the kids are calling' is another joke.Good God, you're determined to find out what I'm writing. EAT A SIZE 1.Size 1. Bweheheheheh.

Re: I seek attention
when you tend to try and keep things short you allways use allot of smart words that makes my little stupid head spin o.o RAGDOLLMASTER FTW xDRagdollmaster wrote:You got attention because you're an idiot. This is the wrong kind of attention that you go intentionally looking for, degenerate. Next time before posting a troll thread, do it in intelligible English, please. Or Russian. Or anything, as long as you don't post crap like "I post in a different color then everybody." Let me break that down for you since you're too stupid to see just how big of an error the E replacement for the A was. Correct version- "I post in a different color than everybody else." Just saying "I post in a different color than everybody." is incorrect, as 'everybody' isn't doing anything in the sentence. You could say "I post in a different color than everyone.", or add an 'else', but just saying 'everybody' is incorrect. The words everyone and everybody are not synonymous. Now for the 'then' part- 'Then' is a transitory verb signaling an immediate advancement of time. You connected two sentence fragments by saying then. "I post in a different color, THEN everyone." Even that is incorrect since using 'then' indicates that you're narrating from perspective that's advancing from a first person standpoint but follows the words in real time, as in, the narrator doesn't know what happens next. Example: A sports announcer. I'm sure your illiterate ass is familiar with a NASCAR announcer screaming which car takes the lead on its two-hundredth left turn. This is incorrect since you switch perspectives from a direct first person to a memoir version of first person- "then everyone" would be preceded by "I posted in a different color", not "I post in a different color". Of course, by this point, fixing that error would be somewhat moot. Considering you said "then everyone", you had to follow up the pronoun with a verb. The only acceptable versions of your sentence would be "I posted in a different color, then everybody else asked why.", or, "I post in a different color than everyone else."
