One-thousand (1,000) points will be awarded to the first person who can identify all five of the grammatical errors in the following passage, which I have written: Three dead men in a cemetary; one was a soldier, one was a postman, and one was a forester. Each died of old age, although, this age differed for them all. At the age of seventy five, the soldier died--youngest and bravest of the three. At the age of eighty the postman died peacefully. There weren't sufficient tree rings to speak of the longevity of the old forester. Their's was the cold earth, and nothing more. Good luck.

	I'm seeing more than 5. Duck and I agree that there are so many gramatical issues that it's difficult to figure out exactly what is being said.

	you put two -- Their's should be theirs' was should be were "each died of old age, although," - "each died of old age(.) although" "this age differed for them all" - "this age differed for all of them" I kind of just made shit up

	You can PM me and ask me if you are correct, but you won't get the prize until you have all five.

	"grammatical error" is just a way of keeping other people down, just let people talk how they want in there own words who the fuck do people think they are to tell other people they don't talk right

Quote by Frankiebonesbunnyrented: "grammatical error" is just a way of keeping other people down, just let people talk how they want in there own words who the fuck do people think they are to tell other people they don't talk right Language is a way to convey ideas to other people. In order to efficiently convey ideas, everyone must agree on common rules for conveying (grammar). Imagine trying to explain math to someone using made up symbols, while they understood math in numerals.

	I saw a picture about the importance of proper comma usage recently. "Let's eat grandpa!" "Let's eat, grandpa!" ^Each of these is conveying a completely different message.

Three dead men lie in a cemetary: a soldier, a postman, and a forester. Each man had died of old age, although the ages differed for them all. The soldier died, at the age of seventy five; youngest and bravest of the three. The postman died peacefully, at the age of eighty. There weren't sufficient tree rings to speak to the age of the old forester. Theirs was the cold earth and nothing more. Though I'm not sure what the "theirs was the cold earth, and nothing more." is supposed to mean.

Gohan [inactive] Post Count: 0 Respect: 635	06 May 2010 06:53am
	So basically "I'm right and your wrong"?

Three dead men in a cemetary; one was a soldier, one was a postman and one was a forester. Each died of old age. although there age differed for each of them . At the age of seventy five, the soldier died--youngest and bravest of the three. At the age of eighty the postman died peacefully. We don't know the age of the forester since There weren't sufficient tree rings to speak of the longevity of the old forester. There was the cold earth and nothing more. this way looks and sounds better lol i suck at grammer also

	you mean I was supposed to eat with my grandfather, not actually eat him? well, darn, that's problematic.

	Freedom of speech, talk however the fuck you want, even the best system is not perfect and has double entendre so fuck it. It is just a way the establishment keeps everyone down by teaching kids in school dumb shit like grammar and not shit that might be important like I don't know having a gold standard on money? So that money is value, not debt.
