Grammar!!

As a Scion owner, I take pride in my car and fellow owners. Yet, I have noticed on many posts, that grammar and cohesion is unacceptable. I want to challenge others to take time, and review their statements before they're posted. Thanks….

When you begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction, you do not put a comma after it. However, had you used "however" instead of "yet," a comma would have been appropriate. The use of a comma before "that" is uneccessary as well.

The second part of this compound sentence has a predicate but no subject. You can correct this by simply removing the comma.

Try that site, what's it called?¿? Grammar.com or something like that, I hear those people really care. This however is a typical forum with plenty of grammar and spelling issues that are just fine by me. So stfu and lol a little at the posts.

It is necessary to include both letter Ns in unnecessary.

Re: Grammar!!

Stankubrick caught just about all the grammatical errors. There's a couple subjective errors as well, such as usage of the passive voice. . .

But I'm just nitpicking, and I make a billion mistakes as well. I TOTALLY agree with you and sympathize 100%. It's hard not to pick on you though, as you did make a ton of mistakes on a post complaining about grammar. I'd hope that you'd be extra careful!

Butt? eye think; its fun knee how! every-one type's like, their' in forth greyed
