Ladder = Latter = The word you were looking for.

I'm glad to see the good work being done in this thread.

Yes!

In English, we generally combine the words "an" and "other" to form a super-word: "another."

FYI: You're quoting someone who didn't use the correct form of "their."

how anxiously are you awaiting the moment when somebody questions the placement of the period outside the quotation marks at the end of that sentence? Not anxiously at all. I did it the other way in my last post: The plural of "knife" is "knives." I was really hoping someone would set me straight on that.

Friends don't let friends use the wrong form of "you're".

The plural of "knife" is "knives."

With the exception of most of kevinb's posts, this is potentially one of the worst sentences I've encountered on here.

Are you in middle school?

Maybe when the kid is 5, the mom can start kindergarten with him. Spelling, grammatical errors in red: Up for auction today is the legal first name for my son. He will be born somtime in september, so after you win this auction, just send us an e-mail with your desierd name to us (article does not agree with subject). And after he is born ,we will notify you and give you a certificate with your name and the baby's. He is allso going to be my 7th child, so he will be a lucky one (lucky to be born to an opportunistic, white trash baby factory)! You can name him annything like after a loved one, a departed one, or any great boy name! (Entire sentence is fucked.) Im am doing this only to help my family. I'm a single mother of 6 soon to be 7 kids and i am in a tight situation. We live in a small house located in Arkansas, wich is barely enough room for all of us (Article/subject disagreement [Arkansas isn't big enough for your family]) does not. I have no job or anny source of income , so my sister pays for my rent, my phone bill, water bill, gas bill, ALL MY BILLS. And our car is on the last leg of its life. So all the money will be used to pay for a new car (one that can fit my BIG family) some baby cloths, and maybe if some one is generious enough, a new house. but we are despritly in need of a new car, so we hope to get around 20-25 thousound. So please help out a great family in need. Thank you so verry much, and God bless.

Please require that he also put commas in the right place.

I hope your interviewing skills are better than your spelling. Then again, you couldn't even bother to know your subject's name in your Propagandhi interview, so I don't have a lot of hope.

You seen it? Really? At least you didn't say "I done seen...". I guess that's a little better.

Has you gone to elementary school?

I deleted my post because I'm not dickheadpolice and was thus out of my jurisdiction. And yes, I'm totally Pat. Sorry, Dan.

I like to consider myself an everyday hero. "To Serve and Correct!"

Plan B: Higher Hire K-Fed to play your birthday. She'll inevitably catch wind and want to attend. Nothing says "reuniting" like across the room eye contact during "Popozao".

di⋅vulge  /dɪˈvʌldʒ, daɪ-/ [di-vuhlj, dahy-] –verb (used with object), -vulged, -vulg⋅ing. to disclose or reveal (something private, secret, or previously unknown).

Why isn't our buddy, Grammarpolice, correctly capitalizing a proper noun? Why isn't the renegade grammar avenger concerned with the fact that, in its "proper" form, Grammar Police is two words? I used my username as-is, smart ass.

Thanks to everyone who didn't resort to the lazy abbreviation of drive-through. It makes your buddy, grammarpolice, very happy to see kids using proper English.

They're called portmateaus and yes, most of them are annoying.

It's fine, if you're a pirate.

You and I both, brother. What I especially can not stand is when the truncated version is spelled in a way that makes no sense, like "appresh" or "appreash", except to the person who wrote it. I will say, though, that the different spellings are somewhat interesting cos they indicate how people define the phonetic spelling of a long e. But really, it should stop. Agreed.
