Most people on here still dont get that concept.

LoL, true 'nuf. I'm not saying any names, but a few RL peeps are just a notch or two above elementary English.

Some other noteworthy considerations.

Whether or not I go depends on the Weather.

Where is a good place to wear those jeans?

ecstacy has no X in it.

Rhythm has no vowel's in it (as in rhythem or rithem, unless you're a junglist then it is riddem or riddim as you try to emulate Jamaican patois)

its or it's? It's is a contraction for "it is" where the apostrophe marks the missing "I". Its is possesive as in "my jacket lost one of its buttons"

If you write in all capital letters IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING and that's annoying...why yell all the time?

If you are trying to add empasis by using multiple exclaimation points of question marks, the standard is three!!! Got it???

Same goes for periods in place of commas...or to suggest a pause...it's three periods...unless you're just too much of a rebel.

Oh, and it's too as in "too much" not "to" as in "I am going to Pop!"

I still love you illiterate bastards, but you represent the scene in a better light when you can communicate properly with others.

Thanks for reading.

(oh and technically, it's P.L.U.R.

Which vs What

What is used to ask a question when there are an unknown number or infinite possibilities for an answer.

ie: What party are you going to?

Which is used if you are choosing between two items, already defined, in a different sentence, like this:

ie: Which party was better; Get Lucky or Luck of the Irish.

I could go on and on. I think most rave message boards have the worst grammar. I tend not to use apostrophes in my writing online, and I don't mind net-speak; however I cringe when I see people confuse grammar that should be elementary. It makes the person look like a dumb ass, especially if he or she is trying to win an argument.
