Technically syntax is a group, a ground of laws, rules and edicts (yes, that was all very redundant), so technically it is subject to wholesale slaughter.

And yes, I am the card's original creator. I made a whole deck of these things one crazy night... at about 3AM. You should have seen some of the other sleep deprived monstrosities I made.

Quoting out of context is what a good lawyer does. Egads, where would the judicial system be if everything was taken at face value.

Yes I do. No kidding. Via PM or whatever I don't care but I am serious.
It's because I have noticed a few times I am making some mistakes allways, just because I don't know I should actually write them different. For example, since 2 weeks I am writing enough instead of enaugh. Last 5 years I wrote enaugh, but when I was using firefox somewhere else the spell checker said it was wrong.
The only way to remove those stupid mistakes like that is when people tell me.
Another story:
A year ago I wrote whit instead of with. When I was writing things in English for school, they told me I did not score 10 but they did not tell me that was because I wrote whit and i without capture everywhere. My mom told me later when she was reading stuff I wrote, and saying things like this once will probably be enough for me to change this in all the sentences I will write in the future..


Thanks for your correction BD!

It's because I have noticed a few times I am making some mistakes always, just because I don't know (how) I should actually write them differently. For example, since 2 weeks (ago) I('ve) am (started) writing "enough" instead of "enaugh". (For the) Last 5 years I wrote "enaugh", but when I was using firefox somewhere else the spell checker said it was wrong.

Technically, you shouldn't use "a few times" and "always", it's contradictory. If I was going to say that sentence I'd say...

"I've noticed that I'm always making mistakes." Or "I've noticed that sometimes I'm making mistakes."

If you're going to correct the fellow, you might as well get much more in-depth.

The reason I am asking for corrections is that I have noticed that I am always making some mistakes, because I don't know the correct constructions. For example, it has been 2 weeks since I've started using the word "enough" instead of "enaugh." For the last 5 years, I've used the word "enaugh," but the spell checker in Firefox corrected me.
The only way to remove stupid mistakes like that is to have people correct me.
Here is another story:
A year ago, I had used the word "whit" instead of "with." For my writing in English class, my teacher told me that I did not score a 10, but s/he did not tell me that this lower score was the result of my writing "whit" and [i without capture everywhere.] I don't know what you're trying to say here. My mom later told me these things when she read my writing. Correcting me once for each type of mistake will suffice to ensure that  I eliminate these mistakes in my future writing...


Thanks for correcting me!


Punctuation points (periods, question marks, exclamation points, commas) go inside of quotation marks.

(Also, I will end up looking silly as grammar nazi lvl. 50 (leel) points out a billion mistakes and oversights in my edit)

Actually, aside from the spelling, that sentence makes sense. He's saying that he has (noticed a few times) that he is (always making some mistakes). Parentheses added to emphasize linkage of adverb to verb.
 
EDIT: Orbo, you're correct about quotes and punctuation, but only halfway. Periods, question marks, and trailing commas are inside quotation marks if you're in the United States, but UK style, which is actually the original (the American way was a result of imperfect typesetting technology), dictates that you place that punctuation outside of the quotes.
