^ Hahaha. :P

What did you think I was saying before you read the sentence properly? :D

I should say again that 1980s was one example (good ol' '80s ;D), but of course the same rules apply for any year or numbers that have been shortened!

I dunno. I always thought that if it was just a random number ("add the 7's and subtract the 8's") you could put an apostrophe before the 's'.

Yeah, it's hard to explain. Or understand.

Something else that kinda bugs me is when people do the following:

"Hello there." He said.

It should be this:

"Hello there," he said.

Just about everyone does it, but it's incorrect.

(No offense intended to anyone.)

I before E, except after C. Weird!

Why do you park on a driveway,
and drive on a parkway?

When do you play at a recital,
and recite at a play?

Pineapple has neither pine nor apple in it.

You tell the dog to lay down, and he doesn't because it's lie down!

Knock knock.
Who's there?
To.
To who?
To whom....

I am the captain of my soul.

The fastest way to a man's heart- Or anyone's, in fact- Is to tear a hole through their chest.

No, no, no. It's I before E except after C. And sounding in A as in neighbor and weigh. And on weekends and holidays and all throughout May, you'll always be wrong no matter what you say! (Please tell me that you know who I'm quoting!)
Just pretend there is something interesting and unique written here... I have nothing to say.

I am neither a grammar Nazi nor an unlearned imbecile. But I must stand here! For the pikes must be together by the rising the moon! ;D ;D

Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.
