Lets play an grammer game

*sob*

That was painful to read, my posts tend to fuck up because this keyboard is shit, some of the keys are too stiff, all of the keys are too small and for some reason whenever I type the word "that" if feels the need to stuff a random "y" in to it.
Sometimes I just forget to check.

I counted around 52 mistakes in there; however, it was

Also what is "grammer"?

It's a kind of biscuit I think. Goes nicely with cheese probably. Nice brie or something.

OT:
I'm all for the grammar-ing but... The biggest problem with grammar on the internet is not what you show here. Sorry. Spelling-errors are one thing, grammar's another.
Apart from the lack of punctuation and paragraphing which ment I simply couldn't read it.

My personal pet-peeve though is people who write "your" when they mean "You're". That just get's on my nerves something fierce. That and people who abbreviate everything. "u" "ppl" so on... Once or twice, fine, entire sentences... no. Don't.

there's a difference between a grammar and spelling mistake, so this is flawed

As mentioned above, using the wrong word, i.e. a homonym, isn't a spelling error - it's a grammar error.

that's fair enough but 'grammer' IS spelling.

Spoiler: I'll just leave this here

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight for it two say,
Weather eye and wring oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long,
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Eye have run this poem threw it
Your sure reel glad two no,
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

It took me some time but I did it. Probably not 100% correct and I tried to stay true as possible to the original version:

Strangely I do believe that "whom" was used correctly. Whom am I kidding? Him. Or perhaps myself.

who: I, he, she, they, we
whom: me, myself, him, her, them, us
whose: mine, his, hers, theirs, ours

I am aware of that and was considering putting the m in brackets, but I decided to use to simple version that most people know.

I haven't laughed this hard since the Cracked article on Disasters That Could Kill You Before Lunch. (or something like that)

Same here, though I tend to type my accent in to my posts which I imagine would annoy some people.
When people talk you tend to assume things about them, the same applies when you type, your examples make me think the one on the other end is an idiot that can't tell that they're not on a bloody phone.
I also hate LOL OMG and their ilk but that isn't a grammar issue.

I got 48.

I got 59 or 62, depending on how you count them.

Edit: I should specify: I got 62 if you count both the article title and the thread title, which have identical problems, as two sets of the same problems. 59 if I'm only supposed to count the title once.

For those playing at home, I've just revealed that there are three errors in the title.

Grammar is important. As a great fiction writer once said, you need to know the rules before you know how to break them.

Well I'm glad at least you two had fun with it. Judging by what everyone else said, I suppose I'll just stay off the forums. I just thought this would be fun. I didn't think so many people would take it so seriously. Thanks you two.

 

[Nouw]

I got either 39, 49 or 30 or 40.

And yes I had fun!
