I give you an 8.5. It would have been a 9.5, but you misspelled "writing" (as "writting").
Yea, writting (:P) and problably. Two words I misspell all the time. I accept my 8.5 with pride, but does spelling count? The OP said grammar, and I assumed that spelling would be included, but on reflection, considering the comorbidty of AS and dsylexia.... Not sure it's fair for all. Could OP clarify the rules please?

I didn't read through the whole thing, but that's the only actual error I could find in the story, but then I'm an 8.5, and feel lucky for that much :wink:. Some very awkward wording in many places though. From a search though (gotta be fair)...

Grammatically acceptable, however factually incorrect, so I took points off anyways :P. (Actually, just realized "a.k.a." is not correct. "Also known as you can't install...." Should be "i.e."
Quote:
Those are the trick for me.
mmm... If "trick" is a noun there, then that's ok...?

Overall, quite good. Give you a 9.2. Your completely illogical loyalty to Apple hurt you a lot.

Boy, judging people is fun. I missed my calling :P

You SUCK!! ! YOU ALL SUCK!! ! :twisted:

i never understood why people online constintly felt the need like if they spot uncorrect grammer/punctuation/spelling online it was there job to correct the person. and or "own" them or make fun of them because. who cares? didnt your read that article awile back that said if you had most of the words there the human brain could figure out what the word was? maybe you should invest your superpowers to something more useful like finding a cure for cancer dude

Sorry they left you out. From studying one of your longest posts...

I was in a very dark area. It was a simulated forest environment. People kept coming down an elevator built into an enormous tree. There was a door in the middle of the forest built of stone, and I walked over to it. Hundreds of people followed in the same direction.

Suddenly, the darkness grew even more so and I found myself ducking behind the door. It opened and I watched as a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex materialized from the other side of the door. It proceeded to chase the humans around. I punched it in the side and it dematerialized. This happened again, and I did the same thing, only immediately striking the beast this time.

And that's all I got.

It kinda reminds me of an old, more humorous dream I had once. I don't remember much, but I do remember that I had to take off my glasses and there were dinosaurs and I thought my friend was a dinosaur because I couldn't see, and I therefore proceeded to beat the friend up.

Yeah. Dinosaurs = Weird, pointlessly violent dreams.


I conclude that you really care about grammar and probably checked it multiple times before submitting. From this I would give you a 10, however, since you have also posted sentence fragments a few times, I give you a 9.5

Haven't been on the forums for all that long, but I only noticed it being done once or twice, and never in a grammar-police fashion.

Average grammer, shouldn't use short forms (though I'm using it and other mistakes right now due to my tiredness).

The above poster is committing the weird sin of spelling 'grammar' while attempting to critique grammar.

You really care about your grammar, so I'm going to give you 10 out of 10. :)

I'm going to see my mum and my dog, today. I do this, every Friday. It's turning out to be my tradition. I take Chico for a walk, when I get to mum's house. Mum always has tea made for me, when Chico and I come back, from our walk. I'll be bringing Sid along with me, too. :O)
