I majored in English, don't even get me started!  I went so far as to join a group on Facebook called "I know the difference between there, their, and they're."  I also joined "I picked a major I like and someday I will live in a box."

LOL. I don't judge people with poor spelling or grammar, it just makes it hard for me to take you seriously. I know they teach this stuff in schools so I find it hard to believe that people aren't at least being exposed to it since attending some kind of school is required by law in this country.  And on a forum that is about Greek Life (which equates to people in college or who have graduated from college), finding bad spelling or grammar is even more surprising to me.

Then sweetie, you might want to check your own posts for typos. Especially since you have graduated form college. Just teasing! I know exactly what you mean.

Indeed, lol. I fixed it! I usually spell-check myself, hence seeing that I edit most of my posts after that fact. Sigh. I just type too fast for this super brain of mine!

And yes I go to everything she invite me too.Do you think I have a good chance of become a member? But I havent turn all my papers in because i waiting to get a transcit because It would be my first transict for college, and i finally got my grades. And I was wondering it might be too late to turn everything in and b/c i'm have to wait to recieve my transcit. Do u think they know I havent turn my paper work in or do they know, and still want me to come to events and stuff. Do think i should wait till next spring or do u thinking they going to have one next fall?
What do u think, they thinking about me? Thank for taking your time to review my post and thanks for the advice... 
p.s. you can also email me private, if u wish... |
Since the title of your post is "Can someone please help me!!" and I am in a very snarky mood today, indeed I will help you.
First of all, "Can someone please help me" is a question. Generally those are ended with question marks. Unless you are writing in Spanish, and although I don't know the language very well, I believe questions both start and end with question marks.
Second of all, I would highly recommend suing your high school. Apparently you learned very little about the English language, much less that it's a transcript, not a transcit.
Thirdly, I do understand why you used the "confused smiley." We are all confused by your poor writing skills. I suggest taking every English class possible to improve your syntax.
I could go on, but as snarky as I feel today, I do have a ton of errands to do.
In the words of Tim Gunn... "Carry on!"

^^^I'm with you. Now Earpus wants to send me to Hell for my criticism. I need a good tan these days, anyway!
My other pet peeves: - "a lot" are two words, not one
- to, too and two
- ain't (don't go there)
- "we was"
- "y'all guys" -- the plural is either You or Y'all, for both Southerners and Northerners

^^ That reminds me of a Southern joke: If you're a true Southerner, you should get this. What is the plural of "y'all?"
ALL Y'ALL!

If some of the student I encounter are any representation, then no, they aren't.
