Grammar Patrol

[Skyblade]

Welcome to the Grammar Patrol. We are committed to promoting and protecting the correct use of the English language. This includes not only grammar, but also diction, sentence structure, and anything else that may come to mind.

Feel free to discuss debatable grammar rules, learn new vocabulary (preferably of the SAT variant), ask questions regarding our language, bring up meaningful topics, and enjoy these alphabet cookies provided free of charge. And do not hesitate to correct anyone who (deliberately or inadvertently) misuses English. That's what Grammar Nazis are for! Just remember to be tactful.

*Violators will not be tolerated*

Hello! *Grabs an M shaped cookie* Oooh, good cookies Skye.

So, what shall we talk about first? The hated fragmented sentences? (My enemy; just ask Word!) Or SAT vocab words?

*Takes an alphabet cookie*

Okay, as soon as I saw your (Skye's) above post I thought of talking about dialogue tags.  A lot of people seem to get those wrong.

For example, they might say in a story, "Look at that." He said.

This is incorrect.  It should be, "Look at that," he said.  See?  A comma and no capitalization of 'he', because it's all one sentence.

So, yeah.

[Cornflower MM]

Good point! I've been trying to work on that, although I have to say I still forget half the time.

I would like to apply for the position of Captain of the Guard, please. Grammar must be enforced.

 Can we devise a special kind of torture for people who misuse "it's"?

Thanks, Corny! We can discuss whatever you all wish, as long as it has some relevance to the English language!

Thankee, Sierr And we all need to improve! Perfection does not exist.

Very well; I give you permission to create it.

[Wot, wot!]

Hahaha 

This is really cool! can I join you members on patrol?

[Skyblade]

Unfortunately, I cannot even understand what you are saying.

roooood

*Flips through book* Hmm, it appears that the word "roooood" is not in the dictionary. You may want to brush up on your vocabulary.

@Wot: Of course!

[Wot, wot!]

Awesome thank you Sky!
