There was a car on fire in the parking lot of burger king about thirty minutes ago.
I first sought out the smoke to see where it was coming from.
Then I did a loop to see what was going on after I saw flames.
By the time I drove through city party (because I missed by turn-distracted by calling a friend telling him to drive by and see the sight) I had missed the actual distinguishing of flames.
I am from a small town.
Farmer's market tomorrow followed by an amazing garage sale. I mean amazing. I would capitalize 'amazing' but I don't want to flaunt the word. Trust me though...life changing almost.
T9 mess ups are great.
Funny.
I like when people write in 'slash' or ''quote' because it takes to long to actually find the little thing. Lazy. But I do it. Hypocrite.
I don't understand how you are able to pass 3rd grade English without knowing certain English skills which are 'required' for all types of writing.
Example: it's (apostrophe goes before the s. it and is are pushed together). not its.
they're (they & are meshed together. not theyre, not their, and NOT there.
they're.
their (possessive).
there (direction).
You should also add an 's to things that are possessive. Such as 'the owner's
car'. ALSO, some plural words. 'Houses' roofs'.
I hope I'm right...or as some might say 'write' about these apostrophe words because that would be really embarrassing. However, the only ones that really bother me are their, they're and there. So simple yet so misunderstood...well, no, so overlooked and uncared for.
For more information or to correct my false tellings of the apostrophe please visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_apost.html
Good ol' Purdue.
Words in this blog I have had to google spell check and copy slash paste over.
distinguishing
capitalize (forgot the a, not my fault)
hypocrite
apostrophe
My spelling is not great, but I know where my commas go.

"Its" requires an apostrophe if it is "it is," but no apostrophe if it is being used as a possessive pronoun, i.e., "Its hair was blue."
But yes, homophones drive me crazy when people mix them up. Homophones are serious business, people. Respect them.
the worst grammar mess up is your vs. you're. i automatically lose some respect for people when they get it wrong. i mean SERIOUSLY. your the best. NO it's YOU'RE the best. YOU ARE. anyway. i'm glad you care too.
we're all products of the usa's education system. without grammar, you are nothing. your nothing. you aren't nothing. you're not anything. seriously.
but for reals, it's like internet grammatical faux pas and missteps are only accepted when they come from someone whom everyone generally knows for their thorough understanding of english grammar.
which is silly.
only smart people can say pwned and be funny.
stupid people say pwned and they're judged.
what has this world come to?
