Oh, snap!!

Because I'm good enough to see the errors I make and correct them. Now go back to the beginning of this thread and read again, particularly the parts about the difference between "your" and "you're."

But your not good enough to see them before you post.

Speechless?? Now that is hard to believe.

OK thou Great Infuriating to Himself Grammar Nazi Bitch, I have a few actual questions if this thread was actually started to enlighten some us unlearned, and not just to thrust out your chest like your some kind of Harvard graduate and piss on those you consider yourself better than.

The usage of we're and were. Like We're going to Dio's house and smoke crack.

Or, Were we're you when we were at Dio's house smoking crack?

Or, We're not were you thought we were when you thought we were at Dio's house smoking crack.
