Six Flags search for hero's

JohnG2095 has a point. If everyone at least read over their posts once before posting, many mistakes would be avoided. Mistakes such as "indide" or the misuse of the word "write" would disappear. The message boards would be a happier place as a result. I'm not trying to put any of you down, just offering some constructive criticism. Anyhow, JohnG2095, I am sure that when using instant messaging programs or the like, the importance of the correct usage of grammar may slightly decrease. As for some of the posts here, they are quite hard to, as John said, "translate."

You are mistaken. I am a super HERO, not a supervillian. FYI, it did take effort!
Back on the topic, Congratulations Mr. Whitsett!

YOUR EVIL RACE WILL NEVER TAKE FROM US WHAT IS OURS! I HAVE FORESEEN THIS, ONCE YOU HIT WARMER CLIMES, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE, AND YOU WILL FALL AT THE HANDS OF THE UNITED NATIONS OF THE WORLD, HUMANS SHALL PREVAIL!

Of course it takes effort, any crackpot writer, especially one with the smallest incling of talent, can easily possess correct grammer, or close to it, in all writing.

U Mein its knott write to tiep leek thus?

Spale Chuch Werkted Fer ME!

Mr. Witsett, redeem yourself, please. Could we see maybe an excerpt from your award winning writing? We would all be most gracious.

Swoosh- Spelling is not a sign of intelligence, trust me, I stink at it, but you had correct grammer!

I agree, I think it would be very interesting to see what kind of writing wins these contests.

Yes, Mr. Whitsett, I would very much like to see some of your essay as well. Maybe just a small excerpt?

JohnG: I wasn't going to comment the first time, but grammar is spelled with an 'a'.

Six Flags search for hero's what? Hero's is possessive, heroes is plural. Surely an award-winning writer would know that.

A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.

I swear, you are some of the most pompous people around. It seems to me that many of you do not feel good unless you are exposing the infirmities of others. Should so-called "proper English" be adhered to as often as possible? Sure. Should someone be checked when they blatantly disregard it? You bet. Is it necessary for several people to "pile on" after the mistake has been pointed out? NOT AT ALL. Get over yourselves.

It's not cute. It's not funny. So why dont you just stop?

lata (sic), jeremy (sic)

"I will break away, I'll find myself today"

Jeremy - it's one thing when someone like you types "lata" on purpose, and we all know you meant to do it, or if a post has a typo such as thsi, etc. But when someone with a questionable past posts something as questionable as this topic, with questionable motives, saying his writing won an award, meanwhile including many grammatical errors (not typos), including one in the thread topic, that's a whole other thing.

Not to mention some of us went through four years of upper-level English classes to learn how to write well, so this kind of stuff grates on our nerves. ;) Kind of like enthusiasts go crazy when some n00b says Gemini is a woodie or S:TE is/n't a coaster. ;)

EDIT: Fixed typo. See, that's what yer supposed to do.

Be easy. I'm in the tenth grade! I never said my writing was award winning. Can we get back on the topic?

I find it odd that some of the hyenas do not adhere to the rules grammar themselves. Jeremy has a good point.

But yah, it does get annoying. Then again, I tend to ignore poorly written posts.

"Know thyself!"

Derrick, I think many people are questioning your original post because you have made many basic grammatical errors in this thread-four in the first post alone. I'm curious why you refuse to post your essay here. Perhaps that would convince more people that you are, indeed, telling the truth (not that I think you should care what strangers on a message board think).

As far as "taking it easy" on you because you're a sophomore in high school, may I remind you that at this time next year you'll be asked to take the ACT and SAT college entrance exams. It's certainly not too much to ask a man of your age to know the difference between plural and possessive.

I'm not at my home now and don't have my essay for six flags. When they premiere superman: ultimate flight opening day for the contest, they'll read some of the letters. If so, they will read my letter on the WB11 Morning news and you can hear what I wrote.

.... and those tests will have you answering insane questions like:

"Obsequiousness : acquiesence :: liturgical : ______"
a) salubrious
b) desquamation
c) abalone
d) defenestration
e) none of the above
f) all of the above
g) a and c but not d

P.S. Before someone asks, there is no answer... I just threw together my favorite words...

------------------
A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.

I'll be ready!

Hey, defenestration is one of my favorites too.

I'd like to mention that perhaps Six Flags wasn't really interested in the grammar. In fact, it's possible that the judges didn't have a decent grasp of it either.

"Know thyself!"

It may shock you to know, Derrick, that not all of us get the WB11 Morning News.
