Please do not deviate from the topic.
Taco's are delicious, they make me happy in my tummy.
You spelt "tacos" wrong.
An apostrophe (') before the "s" denotes the posessive form, meaning that you would have to be referring to something belonging to "taco". With the context of the sentence in which you're using the word, you're obviously meaning to use the plural form of taco, not the possessive, which means you should be spelling it "tacos".

EDIT: This post still more on-topic than the OP. |

I'm an editor. Force of habit.
Quote:and do not say... well when you spell a word wrong it maes you look like an idiot and makes the post null and void.
I don't think I've tried using that argument on these forums ever. I point out spelling and grammar flaws when I see them, but if I'm actually going to get involved in the discussion, I'll argue the valid points and keep my criticisms of someone's English skills entirely separate from that.
Quote:some of you cats should be earning degrees to teach the english language. instead of surfing the forums for trolls. it is a forum not my english exam final.
As mentioned, my job revolves around correcting people's English, and I enjoy it. I'm not surfing the forums for trolls, I'm surfing them for interesting conversations. This got turned into such a conversation by the post I was correcting, so I joined in. And I wasn't even correcting YOUR English, so I don't know why you're getting so defensive over it. |

Those who just QQ
Those who QQ about the QQ's
Trolls
Those who feed the trolls
Those who 'threaten' to leave and don't
Those who think PS4 will somehow be the end of Dust 514
Those who think Plantetside 2 (on PS4) will be the end of Dust 514
Those who think GTA V will be the end of Dust 514
Those who think Dust 514 will be the end of Dust 514
Those who think CCP will be the end of Dust 514
Those who are still looking for a respec (really?)
Those who like bacon
Those who like tacos
You forgot "Those who think Defiance will be the end of DUST 514".
...
Wait, no you didn't... They all left for Defiance. Then about 75% of them came back and became "Those who think Planetside 2 will be the end of DUST 514" instead. |
