In the automotive subforum, a poster disagreed with a premise by saying "This makes zero since !!!!!!" (Exclamation points his).
That isn't annoying. The people who use break(instead of brake) in the auto forum are annoying though. They should be banned from posting in the auto forum.

Thinking about the auto forum requiring proper grammar before posting is so funny. I would suggest it be required throughout C-D, but, that would render the forum we are in as useless and that would be a tragedy!

When I see those posts, I usually respond like this:
What did you break? I hope that it wasn't your brakes!
Sometimes I am actually successful in improving their English usage a bit while I provide some automotive expertise, but--more often than not--in their follow-up posts they are still referring to their "breaks".
My user name is a play on names - Catherine of Aragon was Henry VIII's first wife and I have always admired her bravery and spirit. Since "back in the day" people would often spell their names differently, sometimes even in the same document, I chose the user name KathrynAragon.
If I had a dollar for every time someone thought I was referring to AragORN in the Hobbit movies, I could probably take a nice little trip down to Cancun.

I mean - pay attention. Sheeze!
Did you read The Constant Princess by Phillippa Gregory? She's not the best author out there for English historical fiction (Sharon Kay Penman has her beat by a mile) but she tells a good story and she brought Catherine to life.
I noticed the misspelled first name, (Catherine's real name was Catalina, anyway!) but I think we had that conversation already on another thread. Never heard of the Hobbit person.
