Warthpath Correct Grammar Thread

I think we're going to keep it that way...just for irony's sake

When is it affect? When is it effect?

Why do commas suck?

I hope this helps because I am now more confused than I was before I read it.

affect/effect (http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/affect.html)

Thanks Angry,

By the way, judging by your recent sigs, I have two questions: 1) When is your Redskins romance novel coming out, and 2) Will Fabio be on the cover?

It's like this:

Dan Snyder would affect the Skins best if he sold the them.

or The effect of Dan Snyder selling the Skins today would be some fans saving 8000 dollars

hope that helps.

Sadly I can't think of a good Cowboy bashing example :(

Dude, you could have totally come up with a Cowboy example:)

Thanks for the example though.

Yes, this coming from the guy who started the drunk thread. Go figure.

I wanted to start this thread because I sometimes struggle with how to say things or the correct grammar usage a times.

So for those of you who have no shame, I figured we could come here to form some kind of consensus on the rules of grammar (and punctuation) that tend to stump us.

For example, if I'm saying I could care less about Tony Romo. Should it be, "I couldn't care less" or "I could care less"?


In the now famous words of a fellow Warpather, what saith the mob?
Both are wrong it should be "F@#$ Tony Romo".

Grammar is not something you "arrive at a consensus about" - especially with this bunch. It's either correct or it isn't. There are many fine K-6 level books that can help you. Most will be out of print because, as you obviously know, grammar is one of the many subjects no longer taught in our shameful excuse for a public school system.

Well they did not have a very good affect (or should that be effect) on me.

Maybe we should publish a Warpath Grammar For Dummies?

Seriously, I recently purchased a copy of Strunk and White, The Elements of Style. Tried and true.

I have some like new grammer books from 4th, 5th and 6th grade that we could sell.

It is actually going to be a short story and it will possibly at the end of the season. I have writers block because there isn't enough new info to add to it yet. As far as Fabio is concerned if I am going to falsify my appearance on a book cover it would be somebody younger and better looking.

I just got an idea, we can have a contest for someone to come up with the cover illustration for the story. we can pick a winner via warpath poll. That would be more fun...don't you think?
