Re: Grammar Gurus I Need You Help


grammar is good......should it be policed here, no.

good grammar is easier to read though...like handwriting, it is what it is.

Re: Grammar Gurus I Need You Help


I would have asked "do you see any grammatical errors" or "errors in grammar" other than that...what the hell are you talking about?
