Hey, I'm also one of those older fogeys and I got lessons from my teenager on how to text quickly, including punctuations. I use them, I have to. Bugs me when I text without the punctuations.

Well, thanks for openly agreing with me, my dear friends. It took me about a half hour to get over being hurt after that person blasted me for saying my pet peeve. I even deleted my initial response because I'm not usually so angry on here. Sorry Danny. I behaved and took it off myself.

Don't type in all CAPS. No need to scream furious

Ok... You all are going way too far with all the request. No Caps!! No wonder why everyone is so disgruntal on these boards! I find it comical that with everything that is going on these days and the many issues with cheerleading that you all have really gone as far as to "blast" people about the way they write and express themselves. I can totally understand seperating sentences with some type of punctuation but no caps yadda, yadda, yadda! WOW yawn

Can understand the punctuation, but who cares if someone writes in caps? It's like telling someone not to write on here with a certain color or because they use all lower case letters.

You need to really lighten up. Not everything is meant to be taken so seriously. It was meant in a light hearted way.

Try to understand, that everyone on here is not proficient with grammer, etc.....

Let others speak freely even if they have words that aren't spelled correctly and no punctuation. It is a small matter in a world where there are bigger issues.

LOVE, PEACE AND CHEER

You are so right. No more grammar lessons. No more 'yes' instead of 'yeah'. I am now going to embark on a new quest. I shall feed all the hungry children of the world with my famous pumpkin bread.

Oh by the way, in case you missed it, that was my attempt at humor...as was my original post.

There are lots of threads that annoy me, bore me, or offend me. I have this system though. I don't click on em.

This thread is educational and hilarious if you ask me!

It's: It's cold in here.
Its: Christmas will arrive in its own good time.

Actually....

Christmas will arrive in it's own good time...the own good time belongs to it's.

Those are two different situations where you would use an apostrophe. 1) contraction for it is 2) posession

Type Danny's into Word. You will get a green squiggly under its own....

Proper usage of:

Two: I have two pairs of spankies in case I lose a pair.

haha thank you for for using the topic of cheer. It's a lot easier to understand! =)

I love how people are copying from books/dictionaries/etc and make us believe they put it in their own words!!

Thanks for correcting my spelling. Can you also please come over and fix my sticky keyboard. It took me FOREVER to type that so I said FORGET IT on fixing anything else. But hey, when you make a mistake, you make a mistake. Good thing we have each other to point out our faults.

Since we all know everything about everything, does anyone have a fix for flat hair that doesn't leave your hair greasy? I can't put all kinds of stuff in my hair. It's super thin. I'm going out tomorrow night for our 5 year anniversary and got the new outfit, new shoes but my stupid hair just falls flat after a while!!!!!

Glad to be of service, ma'am (Is that spelled right?? weirdface

)

Paul Mitchell extra body Daily Boost Root Lifter (a mouthful for sure). Has purple on the top. Just got it. HATE hair products that make my hair dirty and this one really adds body. You squirt it only on the roots...way more than you'd think and then BOOM!

Please note, I am on topic as I did ask a spelling question and we have to make sure OC Mom is purty.

OC Mom · GURU

lmao, making me purty would take A LOT more than anything Paul Mitchell can conjure up.

Conjure didn't have a squiggly line under it. I guess I spelled that right!

Actually... Danny was correct. "Its" is one of those situations where you do not use an apostrophe to show possession. "It's" is a "contraction for "it is". "Its" is the proper form for showing possession. And just for the record, I did type it into a word document and got no greeen squiggly.

How about, "I seen that."

It's either "I saw that," or "I've seen that."

Makes me cringe everytime.

Oh, and so do the double negatives... "I don't have nothing to do..."

I've got another one; lend vs. borrow. This one majorly grates on my nerves.

Incorrect:
I borrowed Suzie my cheer shoes.

Correct:
I lent my cheer shoes to Suzie.
-OR-
Suzie borrowed my cheer shoes.
