    I never seen so many english majors on one forum before, If you are new to the site and you usually post on a forum be sure after you type up you post that you go back and check all your words for spelling errors, Especially if your like me and type 65 WPM but dont go back to check your spelling, You will get more replys about your spelling error than you will about your post.

    lol I like how you start this thread with a blatant grammatical error. I never saw anything as ironical as that in my life.

    try the following:

    "I have never seen so many english majors on one forum before.

    grammar > spelling

    Well, technically you shouldn't alternate your use of contraptions; either use them, or don't use them. Since you're not writing an essay, you can go ahead and use them. That said, here's how I'd correct you. Notice, simply the way in which you write your thoughts matters as well -- it's not just spelling and grammar.

    <SPAN>"I<SPAN>'ve </SPAN>never seen so many English majors on one forum before. If you<SPAN>'re </SPAN>new to the site but have past posting experience on other forums, be sure too go back and edit your work before finalizing it. If you<SPAN>'re </SPAN>like me and type 65 WPM but don't care about spelling or grammar, you can expect more replies about your intelligence rather than the actual content of your post."</SPAN>
