son and I say son you need to grow up and get off your mama's tit . Then go get a job before you start trying to educate someone who I might add is twice your age and has seen more lsu football than you could have possibly had. I really don't give a rats arse about my grammer or anything else for that matter.If I were writing a paper I would make it more professional. I do understand at a mire 20 or so years of age you must be like all children of that age and think you are much smarter than your adults.So once again I will tell you to stay where its safe which is behind your keyboard.
Stop embarassing yourself old man. I do have a job and I probably make more per hour than you do. There are plenty of dumbasses that are older than me and I'm pretty sure I've fired people that are older than you are.
P.S. I noticed you have tried to step up your grammar and spelling since I called you out. As a courtesy to you, I have put all of your mistakes in bold.
Don't worry though. One day you may be able to make my coffee.
1- Son, should be capitalized
2- Comma after Son
3- Comma after son (second one)
4- Comma after who
5- Comma after add
6- LSU should be capitalized, as it is a proper noun
7- had should be seen. Confusing verb use.
8- grammar is misspelled
9- Space after matter.
10- Comma after paper
11- mere is misspelled
12- Comma after 20
13- Comma after so
14- Comma after age
15- the sentence in italics is repetitive and confusing
16- Space after adults
17- Comma after again
18- Comma after So
19- Comma after again
20- it's, not its (its is possessive)
21- Comma after safe
21 errors in 6 sentences and it's a massive improvement from your first post. Congratulations.

I will be more than happy to serve you coffee and then maybe we can have this conversation face to face.

I was gonna let this go, but your post took this type of activity to the next level. Has anyone on the Rant ever seen anything such as this? Did your proofreading and editing have to be so extensive?
How in the heck can you possibly know that?
Something tells me you didn't really provide this free exercise and post it "as a courtesy" to anyone.
BTW, you didn't catch "all" the mistakes. I'll leave the "bold-facing" to you:
1. There's an extra space between the last word and the period at the end of the first sentence.
2. It's "whom," not "who."
3. "rats arse" should be "rat's arse."
4. "your adults" should read "your elders," or something more specific and less confusing.
There are a few more that you missed, but you get the idea.
Let's take a look at your reply:
1. "Stop embarassing yourself old man," is lacking a comma after "yourself."
2. "...people that are older than you are." The word "are" isn't neccesary, and any 5th-grade teacher would end the sentence with "you."
I get no pleasure posting this reply, and hope I haven't offended either of you, Mr. Tigerhack and TheHiddenFlask. I chose to pursue one of the world's easiest professions, and somehow managed to author four books and made a good living as a writer, reporter and public relations flak since I was 14. However, like a team without a great QB, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm nowhere without great editors.
My primary point is this: TD.com is a series of frickING MESSAGE BOARDS!!!
