    No, God probably doesn't like Texans.



    Edit: it's a typo, Tsing. Free Thinker, edit twice, click once!

  2. So Texans should be praying to Obama.

    No, they should pray to God to stop hating them. Oh wait, that's what they're being asked to do.

    But they probably shouldn't make those cuts to senior homes they're considering, God hates that kind of thing.

    tinkerbell makes a lot of those "typos". the point is, if you're going to call someone stupid, make damned sure you don't look stupid doing it.

    I admit I cringed when I saw the typo in the subject line--you can't edit those, the regulars here should know that.

  6. Now that you mention it, there are five errors:

    1. "They" should be capitalized as the first word in a sentence.
    2. "Aren't" is a contraction and requires an apostrophe.
    3. "Texas," as the name of a state, should be capitalized.
    4. "Governor," as the first word in a sentence, should be capitalized.
    5. "Governor" is misspelled.

    half the forum would be guilty if we "enforced" or called out every single grammatical misstep. i, myself, hate to type in capital letters or even use an apostrophe. Obviously, if I had to do it, I could. But I choose to quick-type rather than focus on every single aspect of grammar and punctuation.

    but horrendous spelling tends to make one's commentary - even if true - seem worthless.

  8. I agree, with one exception -- when calling someone stupid, the individual making the accusation should expect to be held to a higher standard.

    ...and the word bright is used twice back to back as in "bright bright". :D

    This is hardly the first time the haughty arrogant condescending liberal Tinkerbell has looked stupid whilst calling someone else stupid.

  10. Hello

    Hello

    Don't forget his spelling of the word opportunity, do a search for the non word oppertunity that one isn't even a typo, he repeatedly spells it with an "e" instead of an "o" :D
