it's been open for a bit now

they've jacked up the prices quite a bit, so it's not nearly as good of a deal as other canadian online sites


i love the site itself, and it's search engine, but the canadian pricing is garbage*



*some items are equivalent, but most are quite a bit more

i'm tired of seeing its/it's, your/you're, they're/their/there, and to/too screw-ups. it's the easiest part of the language and absolutely boggles me that full-grown adults screw it up on a regular basis. i'm gonna start grammar naziing these boards about that kind stuff because it's just ridiculous

this particular instance is a little tricky, tho, because it looks similar to saying "and the dog's tail"... but, as anyone that's ever taken a writing class would know, we don't do noun declension for "it", so you can't say "and it's search engine"

no thanks, i spell it like that too. and anyway, fuckwad, i'm not correcting a spelling error, i'm correcting a basic grammar mistake that a staggering amount of fully-grown adults make on a daily basis. it's just retarded. go back and fix it if you made a mistake. i don't want to hear your stupid excuses

it's more fun to watch you get mad about making the mistakes an uneducated 10yo would make. tho i bet a 10yo could put his sentences together to form a proper paragraph :rolleyes:

How the hell do you come up with that it's only a search engine? It's the new official site for Canadians to order merchandise.

Ok here's MY edit: I had Tikker on /ignore so I didn't see what he wrote. So all I saw was Drem saying "its search engine" right after I posted the link. LOL

I'll take Tikker off ignore now. ;)

lol read it again doofus

and for the record, leah and i could grammar gestapo just about anyone if we wanted to

the problem, of course, is that this is the internet(s). going around and correcting every single error, while noble, is simply a monumental waste of time. i'm not disagreeing with the idea that grown men and women should be fully capable of using their only language in a correct fashion, mind you, i'm just saying: choose your battles. grammarizing the internet is like throwing water balloons at an Abrams

i know it's a waste of time dude, you really think i'd actually do something like that? but when i see a bunch of people do it over on facebook and then in an article i read and then come here and see more of it.... i just thought i'd say something, indirectly, about it, and tikker's post was the first one i saw it in. but he started spraying sand out of his vag because apparently he thought i was making fun of him and him alone. god damn youngsters. i'm gonna go listen to Journey and smoke a rack of ribs

edits: i ate my other post? anyways, i don't see how it's a ninja edit if it SAYS EDIT AT THE BOTTOM

If you want to nitpick like a fuckstick, you may want to learn to capitalize properly

but hey, it's obviously more fun on a one way street, so have at it fagboat

seriously, if you honestly think some glorified food handler with a superiority complex has any effect on me (or anyone else here) you're sadly mistaken

that would be "affect"

and minus the food handler part, you just perfectly described how I feel about you, but you left out "sad bastard". and quite obviously i do affect you (albeit negatively) because you're stark pissed off and must have the last word

and this is my last word in this thread, because this is ridiculous

yeah, waiting tables has fuck-all to do with possessing a command of the [American] English language
