Metatalktail Hour: Vexing Grammar
Merry weekend, friends! Today I'd like to use my words to ask about the grammar and usage issues that vex you the most, either in their observance or non-observance, or possibly just in their DNA. [more inside]
Grammar Corrections are Douchey, Right?
like when someone posts:
"To be honest, the income difference doesn't phase us....."
I wouldn't respond with "faze", right? Even if *I* like to be corrected?
Grammar InSpecter
How about a spelling/grammar reason to flag FPPs? [more inside]
Spaces are for sissies!
"1 total comments"?
"1 total comments"? [more inside]
Grammatical error
Improper grammar on the Ask MeFi New Question page when you've already posted a question?
You may ask another question in: 1 days, 5 hours, 55 minutes, 57 seconds.
I think so. It would be nice if this could be fixed.
possessive pronouns
His, hers, and its. All possessive, none of them take apostrophes. [more inside]
It's "great" !
Anyone want to start a grammar nazi site? [more inside]
The Ministry of Type refers to Mefi
The Ministry of Type quotes Metafilter on quotes (and hopes its pages don't go away).
Spelling and grammar guideline?
Talk about your missing periods!
This AskMe is Meta, Ergo...
If anything belongs in metatalk, a post flaming Metafilter users' spelling and grammar sure does. How much more "about Metafilter" can you get than "I am baffled as to why this is so frequent on a site such as AskMeFi"?
pedantry and mefi
There's a time and place for everything, sure, but can we stop using MeFi threads to debate usage of the English language? I'm all for "flag and move on," but this seems to be happening a lot.
Minor Quibble
minor grammar quibble! when posting a link, this:
"The URL you entered was not found in previous threads, though you may want to check the search page for duplicates, just to be sure"
...should end with a period. bit you know that already.
"The URL you entered was not found in previous threads, though you may want to check the search page for duplicates, just to be sure"

Grammar Issue
Bad Grammar

Because your playing in the playground of the internets

So I think your going over the top here
Jonmc your joking, right?
only you can prevent "your" abuse. for fuck's sake, please. [mo' inside]

no-caps does not mean no-value
We've been over this before. Some people prefer typing with the shift key. Others prefer all-lowercase. For the record: can we stop bitching about this in threads? No-caps doesn't detract from the quality of a post or comment. The bitching about it does.
Not GrammarFilter
Could we possibly make an effort to try to appreciate the content of a given site, rather than have every other link derailed by some niggling critcism of the webmaster's use of fonts/flash/javascript/punctuation?
Can we correct the search result grammar?
I noticed that when you search for a topic on metafilter, if only 1 hit results, it says "There were 1 results for...". Would it be possible to put a check for singular results in the script and make the response grammatically correct?
