So you knew that the period was supposed to go in the quotation marks but simply chose not to use correct grammar? How is choosing to make mistakes better than someone who unknowingly makes mistakes?
For example, let's say I have a factory that produces widgets. At the end of the day, I learn that two of my employees have messed up their widgets. One employee tells me that he accidentally messed his up while the other employee tells me that he knew how to build his widget correctly, but chose not to because he believes our product looks stupid. Which one do you think I'm going to fire?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care about periods or quotation marks. I just have to rub it in when you make a thread bitching about people’s use of grammar and then make mistakes in your first two posts. :p

Did you read the book "I'm going to ban your *** if you make Frost's mom jokes"? It's a hilarious story about me banning your wise ***. :icon17:

I just downloaded it for some emergency reading :shutsthefvckup:

Funny stuff aside, I do agree that the US should adopt the common sense use of quotation marks. However, I also think we should stop being one of only three idiot countries that won't adopt the metric system.

Was it in the 70's that the US tried to adopt the metric system and it was a huge fail?

All I use at work is the metric system and it makes so much more sense.

y'all are gud spel'rs down theyre in da us of a

I'll admit.. my grammar is terrible. :(

Yeah, the actual Act was in 1975. There was some type of governmental group that was in charge of transitioning us over the metric system, but Reagan disbanded it when he was making governmental cuts. After the group went away, it was really only a matter of time before all hopes to switching over fizzled out.

I believe the current policy is that the United States is inching toward the metric system....

ahhh:icon18: waka-waka!!

Yeah, the progress is closely being metered

B-dum-dum-dum!

That from a country that sells everything by the lb in the grocery store with metric side tags :confused:

... what else?
- we weigh ourselves in lbs
- we measure our height in feet/inches
- real estate is in sq ft and acres...

otherwise temperature, distance and speed are in Metric :icon17:

We live too close to the Americans:rolleyes:

I'm going to watch Canadian Bacon tonight.
