- kls 16y agoWho gives a crap, really the meaning was conveyed. I have serious writing language disabilities, just take a look at my post history for the obvious proof. Sniping me for grammer critique is like picking up the local bar buzzard, not much of an accomplishment and not something you want to brag about. I am low hanging fruit. http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/LBLD.htm http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/LBLD.htm
- parenthesis 16y agoI'm very sorry you took my comment as sniping; that wasn't my intention at all. I was pointing out the mistake because I found it to be a very interesting mistake — as I hope is conveyed in the link I gave — nestling in your otherwise exemplary written English. In fact, it caused me to momentarily question whether it was I who had got that idiom wrong for all these years.
- kls 16y agoNo problem, I jump the gun on this one a lot and I apologize for that, if it was not your intent. I just get the crap beat out of me by grammer nazis all the time and if I could fix the issue I would, but no amount of people pointing it out is going to fix it. I have worked and worked at it for years (it's one of the major reasons, I post). But just as I will never, no matter how much I stive to, know my right from my left, or be able to accurately estimate the elapse of time, I will also overlook and substitute wrong words in written form. It's really, really frustrating to be intelligent with a language disability and I get really pissy about it some times, for that I am sorry.
