That was intentional​

Yeah, I was really hoping so. Because otherwise... just... no.

[Nola_Applequill1]

No not on perpose

Correct: "No, not on purpose, @Xonos_Darkgrate1!"

Just a friendly little reminder to put the comma next to the "no", and to spell it "purpose" - although I know grammar is not spelling.

Okay, I literally only look at this topic because every single post correcting someone has a mistake in it.

It's just hilarious.

(Well, every post until this one. BOOM! )

@Aislinn_Mollisong1, you used the word "literally" incorrectly. Boom.

Literally is an adjective that means “actually, without exaggeration.” In best usage, it should only be used when you are speaking about something in an exact sense.

Figuratively is also an adjective, but its meaning is quite different from literally. Figuratively is defined as based on or making use of figures of speech; metaphorical. So while literally means free from any metaphor or allegory, figurative deals specifically with these kinds of figures of speech.

I find it very, very hard to believe that you "literally only look at this topic because every single post correcting someone has a mistake in it."

First, it would be "figuratively".

Second, there are corrections that don't need to be corrected on this topic. Look at this post:

Wait, If @Xonos_Darkgrate1 picks an heir, when the heir become chief?

Grammatical correction: " Wait, if @Xonos_Darkgrate1 picks an heir, when will the heir become chief?"

I couldn't find a grammatical mistake in there. Could you?

Well, BOOM.

Don't take this post the wrong way! I'm just doing my job as a Grammar Police!

"Don't take this post the wrong way! I'm just doing my job as a Grammar Police officer!"

@Miss_K2: The word "police" is a plural word; so, if you're saying "a police", it would be grammatically correct to say "Grammar Police officer".

[Nola_Applequill1]

I couldn't find a grammatical mistake in there. Could you?

Yep. He accidentally used a capital "I" for "If" instead of "if".

(P.S. Uh... How do you edit your posts so that way you can make two quotes in one post after it already being moderated, instead of two posts? @Hanna_Brassheart? Because I can't find any "edit" button on any of my posts. Thanks! )

[Kelli_Oldenline]

Ok, fine, whatever. None of us are perfect. Keep correcting, it's much appreciated!

[Nola_Applequill1]

Ok, fine, whatever. None of us are perfect.

That is absolutely true!

Keep correcting, it's much appreciated!

And I feel the same way! I love correcting other people, and being corrected, as well. It helps us learn!

(P.S. I notice a tiny error, but I'll cut you some slack. )

[Kelli_Oldenline]

What's the "tiny error"? I MUST know what it is! No "tiny mistake" will get past me! I can't bear the thought of having a mistake in my writing!

[Nola_Applequill1]

Hehe! It's an error a lot of people do.

Keep correcting, it's much appreciated!

There are a few different options. "Keep correcting; it's much appreciated!" "Keep correcting - it's much appreciated!" "Keep correcting: It's much appreciated!" However, the comma in there is actually incorrect. This is a very common mistake.

You asked, I answered.

Semicolons. They are my worst enemy.

I know, right? Hehe! And as far as the sentence fragment... Don't worry - I don't correct stuff like that.

My mistake, @Spector_Otterquill!

Hmm, very fancy technology you have there....

[Ariella_Newheart]

Ah, yes. It is a computer powered by a potato. Very fancy indeed.

(Btw the use of the word "computater" was intentional. )

It is the "Warden and the Wolf king."

@Spector_Otterquill, I believe we decided not to correct spelling mistakes? Or typos, such as @Hans_Oddcraft's small mistake of forgetting an E.
(Correct me if I am wrong, fellow police.)
