....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.

You are joking, right?  Either you're joking, or you're illiterate.

"We're" is a contraction of "we are." 
"Were" is a verb, the past tense of "be."
"Where" is an adverb, which means "in what place."

Your sentences above corrected:
"We're going to Dio's house to smoke crack." or "We're going to Dio's house and we're going to smoke crack."
"Where were you when we were at Dio's house smoking crack?"
We're not where you thought we were when you thought we were at Dio's house smoking crack.

More likely, if anyone cared venture into Dio's hovel Dio would more likely be smoking dick. Therefore; "We're going to Dio's shack, where we were thinking of getting our dick's smoked" would be correct.

There shouldn't be an apostrophe in that last meatcicle.

[Eagles 3x]

There are an astounding amount of people that are totaly oblivious to the fact that they're completly wrong and seem to have no idea when they should use the word their.
There, thier, they're, now. Can't we all just get along?
Can someone please tell me how grammer nazi thing got started? Nazi=bad, correct grammer=good. I think the grammer nazi is the one that uses incorrect grammer, knows it and doesn't care. We all read everyone's post and we know if someone made a one time mistake or if they cosistantly make the same error. If I make a mistake and am corrected, I have learned. I am now a smarter Eagle fan. What a good thing.
Of course, I never make mistakes. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.
I'm going to go back to ponding my dashboard now.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I have to tell ya, 3x...but the word is "grammar".

[T_Section224]

stop trying Sus, it's pointless

[Eagles 3x]

Well, thank you very much. I shall try to improve my grammar. (damn it, I knew I should have spell checked!)

Thats another one. The apostrophe.

Keep in mind I never had any use for any of this crap until I started out on the internet, but it's gotten' pretty interesting.

The apostrophe indicates something plural, correct? Like....

Dio's bong is huge! or Thats Dios bong.

The second sentence should have an apostrophe? What designates in a sentence that an apostrophe goes on the end of a word?

I type words like gonna', wanna', gotten' and 'cause, mainly 'cause thats the way I talk, and I don't necessarily try to sound like somethin' I'm not. Novels I read quote the characters in them the same way to add realism to the book. If they were all quoted in perfect English, it would make for some boring Novels.

No.

Dio's bong is huge! or Thats Dios bong.
The second sentence should have an apostrophe?

It should have two.  The first sentence above is correct, but the second should read "That's Dio's bong."
The apostrophe is used for contractions, as in the first word, and to indicate posession, as in the second.

What designates in a sentence that an apostrophe goes on the end of a word?

An apostrophe usually goes at the end of a word to indicate possession of something which already ends in "s."  For example:  That's Diomedes' bong.  You don't want to write "Diomedes's bong."  That would be incorrect.

Sometimes the apostrophe is used to indicate that the word has been truncated, either at the beginning or at the end of the word, usually to write slang or colloquialism:  Bring that baggie over here, 'cause we need to re-pack Dio's bong somethin' fierce.

I type words like gonna, wanna, gotten and 'cause, mainly 'cause that's the way I talk, and I don't necessarily try to sound like somethin' I'm not. Novels I read quote the characters in them the same way to add realism to the book. If they were all quoted in perfect English, it would make for some boring novels.

Well, thanks Dio. I can go to bed tonight knowing I'm a little smarter.

I sucked at English, as you probably already know. I could fill this thread up with grammer questions. Maybe I shouldn't get so mad at the 7-11 when I see 10 guys piling out of a landscaping van and none of them know how to speak English, when all I really do is butcher the language.
