Hahhahahahaha.

I too am Master.
quote:

You are a MASTER of the English language!

While your English is not exactly perfect, you are still more grammatically correct than just about every American. Still, there is always room for improvement...



And that's saying a lot. My grammar suxor! What I hate is that they don't show you which questions you got wrong and tell you what the correct answers should be.

Heh. I got Grammar God--obviously the test failed to consider my performance in the GL, where I'll break any and all rules in the interest of striking a balance between 'readable', 'entertaining', and 'grammatically correct'.

'Grammatically correct', incidentally, is usually the first one to get tossed out the window.

You are a complete and utter BASTARDIZATION of the English tongue!

Unless this is your third language, there is absolutely no excuse for your ignorance. You shame us with your speech. Go back and finish your schooling, bastard.

Grammar God(dess)? Me?

Catholic schoolgirl. Probably more to do with the fact that my dad is a high school English teacher and my mum specialises in teaching children with learning disabilities to read...
Go figure.

That's why it's a generalization.. it's true for most, but not everyone. If it were true for everyone, it would be a rule

To be honest, my post really had no point other than to poke fun at your "for who" .

On a completely random note, as I don't get the opportunity to speak with many Dutchies, how would you pronounce the name "Huygens"?
