bobthehobbyguy Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) This recent discussion on punctuation definitely fits for a laugh category. Why else would we come to this model building site? Best laugh in a while. Doubt anyone will top it!

DPNM Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Grammatical errors are one of my top pet peeves. They are so common now I have just decided to "shine them on". If you notice there is an error in the Noah meme and the one with the pipe wrench welded to the bumper. There are enough meme's just in this thread to attest to the fact that people are just plain stupid (not you Bill). I doubt that is a lack of caring. I believe that correct sentence structure has not been taught for years. I bought a sewing machine from a lady 79 years young today. We were talking about how they no longer teach cursive writing in school. My question was, how will these students legally sign their name? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By scrawling some unintelligible mark on their phone (or whatever) screen with their fingertip. The digital age equivalent of "X". Can't live in the past, now.

Ah yes...the guaranteed-minimum-income generation with direct deposit in bitcoin, all believing they're tech wizards because they can take selfies and post moronic videos on the web.

Oldcarfan27 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 4 hours ago, Ace-Garageguy said: That one's kinda tricky, but basically the same if you think about it. If it was the old house of one person named Airbag (Mr. Airbag), you'd be correct. But if it was the old house of the family of multiple people named Airbag (the Airbags), it would be the old Airbags' house. Isn't pedantry fun? Either way, it would still be capitalized.
