Check the scoreboard on the first page, he's fair game.

Are you more in love with me because of my sexy grammar powers?

This may be like shooting fish in a barrel for Grammar Week, but it still had to be done. I'm just glad it was me.

Dude, come on. A sentence in parenthesis still has to follow basic grammar rules. You must capitalize the first word, and use proper punctuation (you missed the comma after "Also", and the period after "shown".) You have failed this city.

Um, what? Are you addressing me or Pet Sounds? If me, then how can misspelling the word "lose" be wrong? I'll just assume it's directed at PS.

But we are a bunch of pedantic assholes!

I thought the new rules say every non-member can only be caught once? If that's the case, then I feel it makes this a little boring.

Point of order: I think it's up to Unknown Soldier to confirm if his journal capitalises the word "decibels", as strictly speaking (Roxy! Settle down...) that word would only be capitalised if it were at the beginning of a sentence or was for instance the title of a band.

The "a" is optional, but otherwise booyah.

Well he's on the scoreboard with three points, so it looks like he's a member open to repeat ridicule.

What are you talking about? I never said anything about you misspelling the word "lose". I was correcting the complete cock-up that you'd made of a parenthetical sentence. \/\/\/

Since the parentheses are not actually in a sentence, "also" needs to be capitalized (not to mention that it needs a comma), and you also neglected to use punctuation at the end. Cock-up.

He does capitalize it. Check the journal section. Oh, and you should have used a comma before "for instance". I shall beat you into the dirt, Trollheart, just like I did to DwnWthVwls.

I forget whether or not I've already crushed your spirit, so I'm going to Grammar Nazi you anyway. I've seen "hop hop" written with a space, or with a hyphen, but never without either one or the other. I'm also going to say that you need a comma in-between "to" and "but" in your third sentence.

I just crushed two turds with one post. Taste it.
