I... LOVE.. it! That was a classic!
Why, thank you! :D

I owe this moment of glory to God, without whom I would have ceased to exist a long time ago, to my parents who not only brought me into this world, but have also brought me up, to my friends ... and to these men in uniforms who are dragging me away in handcuffs.

It's the ones in white coats who really influenced me the most.

Most people don't use apostrophes anymore?! Really? The teacher in me is disappointed. Or do you just mean on forums?

When using contractions people have stopped using them,online anyway. Also I see cursive writing is a thing of the past.Sometimes I put the apostrophe in if I have the time.But when writing in a hurry I would write "dont". That being said I would usually write "I'd" and "they're" since that is what I've grown up with. I see a lot of people aren't using capitalization anymore either.I think it's all due to texting.So I feel old when I use apostrophes in contracted words. lol

You are a teacher? I learned something new about you. I have great respect for teachers,I takes a lot of talent to keep kids attention. You really have to have a love for children.

As I said earlier, I pretty much overlook it on this particular forum. But, it has always staggered me how many people have no qualms, whatsoever, about appearing to be stunted third-grade dropouts when it comes to not only writing, but to their speech, also.

I can't count the number of employment applications I have just dumped into the "File 13" because the applicants didn't care enough to present an acceptable attempt at showing who they were.

I honestly don't make too many mistakes. Not a brag, just a fact. LOL And those that I do make can usually be attributed to either my 70 year-old fingers on the keyboard, or my 70 year-old eyes not being able to see the screen as well as they used to.

But, I have learned not to be too much of a hawk about the occasional slips we all make on here, because I would estimate that at least half of the grammatical errors we read here are really due to that irritatingly short "edit" time the Robot has allowed. Hardly anyone ever composes their initial versions of ANYTHING without messing up a few times.

​I've always wondered why the edit time is so short.I only edit when I think people wont understand what I'm saying. Also my cursor is very sensitive.It skips around the page.I'll be at the end of a sentence and it will skip to the paragraph above. Something I'm hitting also erases everything I've written.Very annoying. Its a Dell and was quite expensive so I dont know if its just me or something in the settings. I also write early in the mornings after hubby goes to work and Im still in bed half asleep.So maybe I should wake up before writing.lol

Somehow they just can't understand that every king in all history had subjects to serve them as they commanded
You compared Jesus with earthly rulers?! You didn't just go there! Astonishingly unbelievable!

If I ever forget an apostrophe, I'm at DEFCON 1 until it's corrected.

Lots of people have this problem on a lot of laptops. 99% (give or take) of the time, the palms are making contact with the touchpad while typing, causing the cursor to move and register input/clicks. If your laptop has a quick toggle for the touchpad, the easiest solution is to disable the touchpad while typing, and re-enable it when you need to navigate.

There's a difference between being spiritually liberal & politically liberal. The same with spiritually conservative & politically conservative. In these last days there are millions of spiritual liberals, believing anything being taught about Jesus & the kingdom except the truth..... Most of them are adamant about their beliefs & won't be swayed. Somehow they just can't understand that every king in all history had subjects to serve them as they commanded, yet the liberal church won't obey the One they declare to be their Lord & King. They swallow the story that Jesus saves them if they accept Him merely as savior without repentance with the fruit necessary to prove it.

They can accept the fact that Satan was their master while in sin, yet Jesus isn't their Lord & master now.

Luke 6:46-49 (KJV)
[SUP]46 [/SUP]And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? [SUP]47 [/SUP]Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: [SUP]48 [/SUP]He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. [SUP]49 [/SUP]But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
You didn't just go there & cut a sentence outta my paragraph to twist it to make Jesus look common, did you? Astonishingly unbelievable!..... well, not unbelievable, since you do it all the time.....:p:rolleyes:

Every time I install a new OS on one of my computers, first thing I do is turn off "tap to click" on touchpad. It's that or start screaming at the computer all the time...

I pointed out that hers are rampant.


Also, isn't it possible that it was auto-corrected and hence slipped my notice?
OR, Also, it is possible that it was auto-corrected and hence slipped my notice.


But thanks for combing through my post to find the ONE grammatical error.

If you want to criticize someone for their poor grammar, make sure that yours is perfect. If you get dished out a taste of your own medicine, take it on the chin and come back with a better answer. Do not play the victim card when you run out of comebacks.

Better luck next time!
Well I did open myself up didn't I? Lesson being don't use your cell phone when posting about spelling and grammar. However you did not correct me, well, correctly. The first two posts are not grammar errors, they are informal writing. When I critique someone for not using the kings English feel free to rail on me. The third one was intended to be: "But thanks for combing my posts to find the ONE grammar error."

Grammar: A noun
Grammatical: An adjective

Although you are technically correct, so feel free to have a bag of cookies on me, both are acceptable when using informal speech.

My point was not to make fun of her but to point out that she seems barely literate, and should not be attacking my knowledge of the bible when she clearly has not read much of it herself. But regardless you are correct that I was being petty and childish and I apologize profusely.


Don't think we will see Shammy return again now that their bluff has been called. We will see how much gumption they have.Or stupidity which they accuse everyone else of having.:rolleyes:
I have a husband and daughter I take of, plus on occasion real life takes over. The people who administer this website can easily look at my IP number and tell if I am logging in from the same location as a banned user, which is probably why I wasn't auto-banned right away. I also do eventually get bored with threads and move on. If that makes you feel like you've "won" then knock yourself out. I also would not listen to a professional troll like Mitzpa, who thinks his gut feelings are the same as evidence.



I explained to Shamrocker in chat, and this is what she is not sharing, that as a child I was a victim of extreme physical and sexual abuse and I had to fight for years to get a lot of images off the internet. I have also had issues with stalkers, ergo I am very cagey about having images online I cannot control. I also have to think of my families safety with regards to the stalker. I never said I wouldn't use my mic ever, I merely don't feel like it at the moment. Why she needs to see or hear me so badly I have no idea...perhaps she is attracted to Irish girls.

You're free to believe whatever you like about me, I genuinely don't care. If you or anyone else are going to believe the words of and obvious troll and a petty malcontent then I have no control over that. Believe whatever you wish.

"

Quote "My point was not to make fun of her but to point out that she seems barely literate"

That's funny considering I put my post through spell and grammar checker and it found one mistake I made and three you made. But I'm the one that is illiterate. No,you don't like I stand up to you so you attack me personally.It's ok, it's a liberal trick,they all use it when they think they are losing the argument or looking bad. They attack the person when they run out of arguments.

Shammy, irregardless of your dislike for me, if you have been abused in your past I'm very sorry to hear that.I don't have children but I have two nephews I'd give my life for.I do not know what I'd do if someone abused them. I fear I would not be seeing the light of day for a long time.So I'm sorry that was your experience.I hope you are finding healing. I believe I will leave it there.

Time will tell..it always does :)

If this person is not the same person that had a PhD in biology ..and seems to communicate in the exact same terms and ideas?
That's has already found a way to change IP addressed about a half-dozens times now? Then im sorry if I allowed logic and reason to override the possibility that by chance we have a different user. I mean its possible ..but im still thinking ...if its walks like and duck... etc
