Fantastic word game

When the neighbors call the cops to complain I will turn it down, but the neighbors always blasted there music as well, never really had that problem, the cops were called about 10 years ago when my former roommate wanted to take on the neighborhood.
 
Done in time for the grand opening of the new library is TFWG's Remedial Reading and Writing Learning Annex which will help a few of our grammatically challenged brethren (not mentioning any names) to improve the quality of their contributions.
 
To improve the quality of their contributions (kenrayc), some people (kenrayc) need to not only take beginning courses on reading and writing (kenrayc) but also advanced courses on reading and writing so that they (kenrayc) can make valuable contributions that are easy to read and understand and then they (kenrayc) would also not violate the TFWG rule of ONE SENTENCE ONLY PLEASE.


Ya know, how often do I say "You can't write the same way you talk". How often do I mention that you need to read your contribution several times before posting. Ask yourself: Does it make sense? Does it follow all TFWG and English grammar rules? Is it a proper sentence? Will other people say something about it? If any of those answers is a resounding yes, then erase it and start all over before posting. Man, I do and I do and I do for you people and what do I get in return? Shoddy sentences galore. I'm taking names, people, I'm taking names.
 
Fallen asleep last night is why I woke up to find my super pumpkins had whithered and died.


Is that too much information? ;D

Who knew pumpkins could whither? Every year, you see them on porch stoops still sitting there weeks after Halloween. In the real world of Farmville, they apparently can't stick around an extra three hours or so. ???

Marc, writing short stories is one thing. Writing one sentence is another thing completely. Stuart's teacher, Mr. Allen, would be very displeased.
 
My super pumpkins had withered and died by the time I returned, and the raspberries are prone to the same demise, because every time I expect to be back in 2 hours, something else distracts me from my farming.

Writing dialogue like you actually talk is one thing. TFWG is whole nother thing, way more important. You still have to break independent thoughts out with commas, and complete thoughts with periods, and make it easier to read. Otherwise, we'd just string all the words out together like the Greeks did it back in the day: no punctuation hardly at all. Notevenspaces.
 
From my farming lack of organization, I can see that I would not make a good farmer because I'd probably want to stack my farm with a whole lot of cool stuff rather than actually producing crops.
 
I'd probably want to stack my farm with a whole lot of cool stuff rather than actually producing crops, too, but I have found that you have to have producing trees and plots to make a living at farming.
 
To make a living at farming, you need chickens with eggs, cows with milk, trees with fruit, and crops bringing in lots of stuff.
 
Chickens with eggs, cows with milk, trees with fruit, and crops bringing in lots of stuff are okay, but don't forget about the sheep for wool with which to make an afghan on a cold day with a foot of snow.
 
Your hat is good to have when it's pooring down rain


BTW whats wrong with my previus posts last f**kin night and the one two days ago with the post about April, I feel I'm being singled out for Bull s**t so I see mistakes in a lot of post all the time ,It's not right well a certain person(WMC) seems to get to techincal over this , oh well I'm drinking til dawn since the company I used to work for closed down last week. so i guess I will be posting more often.
 
Rain comes down on the just and the unjust.

Count the sentences, [the independent thoughts that contain a subject and a verb] with me.
At least 3, if you properly use punctuation without abusing it.
The subject went from "I" to "the neighbors" to "the cops."
There's a disjointed "never really had that problem" [what "problem?"].
There's other mistakes around, but you gotta admit, a three-fer stands out.
All the rules require is one sentence. It's not stream-of-consciousness like "Tom's Diner" man.
Save some for the rest of us. ;)
 
The unjust penalize people who use semicolons properly, but then again, a just man may simply freak out over the thought that what is his in pledge might be whisked away on a whim.

When to Use a Semicolon
A semicolon is used to link two complete sentences without a conjunction such as and or but. You can always use a period and start a new sentence instead of using a semicolon, but when your sentences are closely related or continue the same thought, it helps the reader to have a semicolon.

Example: I’m going to the grocery store; I need to buy bananas.

If you use a comma instead of semicolon, this is called a comma splice. It is incorrect.

Was there some special reason we brought in all of these reference materials when we have the basic rules of grammar changed to suit those who simply refuse to use reference materialls?
 
A lot of blondes talking about the adorable TFWG Tiny Tots ring around the rosie program, when they noticed the lovely Olivia down by the pier, ever so close to her lovin' man, who was snuggled safely beneath her wing, as they occasionally touched noses and kissed one another, without moving otherwise except to return to being cozy comfy, bundled up in their down coats this winter morning.
