Having buffalo would be pretty awesome, which is of course why New Jersey doesn't have them. Not that having buffalo is a requirement for awesomeness, but it's just one more thing that increases New Jersey's suckitude.

Stop derailing my fantastic addition to this thread. Your ****ty state doesn't have them either.

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!

You want correction darling I'm your man!

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.
LeHetfield James belongs to the Grammar Nazis.

I changed the rule in question, because The Batlord and Frownland pointed out that members such as WhateverDude would make it too easy. However, you can correct fellow Grammar Nazis all week, which, in my opinion, will increase competition among us and make for a thrilling finish.

I'll let Goofle off. It was too obvious.

Virginia has many awesome things to make up for our unfortunate lack of bison. New Jersey does not.
