    Is it poor spelling or wishful thinking when I attempt to log into my Windows Live Hotmale account...?

    /But hey, at least they spelled everything correctly./


    Technically, "'cause" is, indeed, spelled incorrectly.

    @beercheck: "Cause" and "looser" are both spelled correctly, but they are not the correct words, given the context.

    Ray is a looser, literally. He looses the great smiting fury of the Burberry Banhammer upon his enemies. So in a sense, it works.

    Personally, I'd have firing back with "nothing's looser than your mom". Though, for extra laughs, run it through a few altavista translations before returning it to english.

    why is it morons and dimwits are frequently associated w/ images of trashy people wearing stars and stripes? really tarnishes the image of stars and stripes. it's like i'd put a union jack on the roof of a british car but if i do stars and stripes it'd automatically look trashy

    Officer BLW, Grammar Police, reporting in.


    Hmmmm.
    Yep, looks like we got a 10-57 here, gents: typing without a brain. Luckily, this ain't our case. Clearly one for those spelling boys downtown. I ain't letting this fuck with my clearance, Bunk.

    @boosted-lego-wagon -> now boosted to 350hp: Officer BLW, be advised: Random change from plural to singular has been spotted in the vicinity.


    Witnesses at the scene corroborate that the first "you" is collective referring to "guys" (plural). This was followed by another collective "you", and "your" backed up by the use of "asses" (plural).


    Be advised that the statement that follows reverts to singular when referring to the recipient as a "looser"[sic].

    @BrAff: I hear that there's a certain female editor over at a site which deals with the lust for rides who has a bad habit of using the "grocer's apostrophe". Perhaps you should dispatch Officer BLW to investigate.
