    Section 26
    In point 11., you missed where "feet" was used improperly in place of "feat."
    In point 14, "feat" was correctly used.
    However, right after "feat" was used correctly, 15to32 has a "felling" instead of a "feeling."

    Aside from a few missing commas, which is often a matter of style and rules, this was a major improvement,





    but still a grammatical failure.

    I should start a new thread correcting all of 15to32's grammatical errors, by post, one-by-one.

    Okay, tell me how you do while you're in a time crunch and have four young children trying to kill each other in the background. All while dealing with immigration hell with a fiance you haven't seen in nearly six months. Bleepity bleep. :(

    Frankly, I'm disappointed it wasn't entirely in Arabic.

    Let's see Fanboy try to correct that!

    I can't do that, but (from another thread)....
    So many sentence fragments. Where to begin?

    I'm comfortable with my linguistic shortcomings. You know, like they say, "القرود محاربة لي في كثير من الأحيان."

    I think you missed my joke. There both sentence fragments.

    Believe me, I am 0% earnest in my criticism of grammatical errors. Just because I know the rules, applying them in a public opinion forum is ridiculous. As long as you get your point acrossed, who cares?

    I missed your point, and I even used google translate. o_O

    ;)

    And ties. Don't forget ties.

    Aagh! You switched tenses within a sentence and incorrectly used a past-participle. The horror!

    As long as we're on the grammar topic, can I just get something off my chest?

    Often it seems the phrase "free rein" comes up on BS, but usually people write it as "free reign." The phrase is an equestrian term, meaning holding the reins of a horse loosely so that the horse can do whatever it wants. It's not "free reign," as in a monarch having freedom to impose his/her will on people. "Free reign" is pretty redundant if you think about it, as reigning pretty much implies that you have power to do what you want. "Free rein," on the other hand, suggests a subordinate getting the freedom to do what he/she wants, and is thus a lot more appropriate in soccer since we're usually talking about a coach giving free rein to a player to drift out of position, attack, etc.

    File this under, "things that shouldn't matter to Ivensor, but do."

    I was going to post either this or a "Knowing is half the battle" clip from G.I Joe, but was too lazy. Thanks for doing it for me. :)

    Thank you… I've noticed it, also. I'm glad you felt you had the free rein to point this out.

    This is in my top 5. I think #1 on my list is still when someone uses "mute point". I have to say I notice it more on the SLTrip or KSL comments than here.

    Yes! "Mute point" drives me nuts. Glad I'm not the only anal one around here. ;)
