When guys write about how they want "A WOMEN" ?

This bothers me to no end.

When will the human race as a whole learn that 1 woman is with an A and more than one woman is with an E?

1 woman = WOMAN
2 or more women = WOMEN

Guys, when you say you want "a women to love and talk to and blah blah blah..." then say WOMAN if you're talking about one woman.

Really.

That's why they are guys. I myself am a real Man! I only want one woman!

Not at all, just don't be a hypocrite!
Her is an example for you of what you did.

You: I hate your car.
Me: Why is that?
You: Because it is red. I hate all things red.
Then you go out an buy a red car... not the best of examples, but I hope you get my point.

I don't hate your post, I respect your opinion. However, making a statement like that, is just as hypocritical as buying that damn red car! lol

LOL, no... I don't use Woman as a plural statement or Women as singular!


Do yourself a favor and don't criticize grammar when clearly from your profile you have no clue how to use it... nor do you know how to properly spell laugh Come on... get a life! I didn't say I was better than anyone, just that it annoys me when men are ignorant about the word woman!

What on God's Green Earth are you getting at here?

I don't understand this post at all....

There was nothing hypocritical about the OP... so your attempted point is lost.

I still don't understand what you're trying to say here though.

Just informal corrections to your post!

When guys write about how they want "A WOMEN" ? <-- There should be a period here.

"a women to love and talk to and blah blah blah..." then say WOMAN if you're talking about one woman. You should use a comma in after "love," "talk to," and in the following sentence after "then say."

Let's face it; if you are going to be that anal about a word, then you should do everything perfectly when writing, this includes grammar and spelling. In my humble opinion you should judge people like I judge you... doesn't feel good does it?

See, even I am imperfect! It's a tiny flaw.


No, there should be a question mark there because it is the end of the question started by the thread title.

The commas would be correct punctuation however she was quoting someone else's work. Who is to say the original post she was quoting from had it right?

Then again many punctuation "rules" are flat out stupid when it comes to commas and quotes so I don't follow them anyway. Common sense and clarity of expression take precedence in my estimation.



Nice try though.



Thank you!
I know I am completely correct with my response. As for the question mark... it makes a somewhat independent statement. It's not even a complete sentence. Shall I continue to slaughter the rest of the first post, or shall I move on to yours!laugh

So I take it you're offended by my post because you're someone who writes "A WOMEN" lol

Oh, and by the way, the reason the question mark was there was because I asked the first part of the question in the subject line when I said, "Does it bother you..."


That would be improper use of grammar. You never add on to a title after it is stated in the body of a written work. If you are going to be so callous over one word, then I would like you to do everything perfect grammatically. Thats all I'm saying.

Again... I am calling you the hypocrite!

"I am an over all "Nice" guy. I am very patient and obedient and love to be around people that I like, and I like almost everyone. Did I just do a "Blurb" about a dog? Oh, and I have a great sense of humor, love to laugh, love to love." that is all my profile says! Are you trying to trick me woman! I mean women. :tongue:

And again you're missing the entire point.

This is an internet forum. Typos and slang are to be expected.

Your profile is your "storefront" to the dating world. Wouldn't you want that to be as attractive as possible? And as precise?

Yes, I understand you think she's a hypocrite. Thank you for sharing.



And EE you'll never get anywhere with this. The whole spelling and grammar subject has been done to death in these forums. Just be happy people express themselves and show you a slice of their character. You can better decide whether or not to shop at their store that way.

I think you are missing my point! Don't judge others, unless you are willing to be judged by the same sword!

Wow, I'm not allowed to show a "slice" of my character as well?

Wouldn't finding that someone also mean accepting their flaws too?

If the "whole spelling and grammar subject has been done to death in these forums," why is this post here?

Yet another hypocrite!

Attacking people with name calling is NOT being sarcastic. It is abuse, plain and simple.

Bob Marley sang, "Judge not, before you judge yourself.. for while you talk about me, someone else is judging you...". He knew his stuff.

She is not a hypocrite for pointing out the fact she prefers obvious grammar flaws to be more, shall we say, complete. Attacking her, to say nothing of your own flaws, shows only that you missed not only the forest for the trees, but the point, as well.

Leave the spell checking and grammar lessons to the English teachers among us. Relax and use the forums as they are intended.... communication. Not as a medium to bring down others to make yourself feel better.

Now.... carry on, ya'll. Have fun, love one another. Gosh.

I noticed you fixed "sence" to "sense" there SoG.

And yes, you've shown us all much more than just a slice of your character.

Thank you for sharing.


Please feel free to check my profile for any spelling or grammatical errors. You'll find I am quite perfect in all I do.




This should be fun.... noway

It's a fine expose of comedic writing! Your literal genius is well above sub-par. I would like to say that the spelling is wrong, however for the style you are using... it is perfect. Now lets do a grammar check, shall we?

"Before ya git too excited" <-- comma here
"Now I'se not only a handy feller" <--- comma here
"Now I know you womenfolk like all that row-mance stuff like dinners and flowers and such." Comma after dinners and flowers.

I love the profile, made me laugh.
"Mikerwave" LMAO nice touch!

I would have put MORE "and xxxx and xxxx" in there with NO commas if I could think of the appropriate redneck romance ideas.

That was part of the schtick.

Washing coon dogs is against redneck religion!
