Maybe we’ve stumbled on the ideal way of getting leftists to back off gun control by recognizing that guns are the preferred method of self-euthanasia.

And Wikipedia (I know, not exactly 100% accurate) says in 2010 there were 11,078 firearm related homicides and 19,392 suicides.

Shouldn’t the third sentence end with a question mark?

And why is “Huh” capitalized?

:P

According to that map, Greenland has a far higher homocide rate Iraq.

Apparently, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime doesn't consider Islamic terrorism to be "intentional homicide".

It’s as though these people have never sat down and read any published works.

I learned to read before I even entered school. I loved it from the very beginning and read voraciously from the start. While in Elementary School, the teachers would quickly learn to exclude ONE particular student (*cough* me *cough*) so as to give "someone else a chance to win". Good writing and writers have always been a pleasure to read, and to see so many people in this day and age simply care so little about how they portray themselves when writing (or typing, as the case may be) is truly saddening. I would expect something such as that from someone still attempting to learn the proper useage of the English language, but the apparent uncaring attitude of 'whatever, dude' that comes across each time is simply beyond belief.

Maybe they do this on purpose to let spelling police have something to post about.

After several interactions with individuals concerning such mistakes, I firmly believe that they truly do NOT recognize the distinction between the spellings and become frustrated when anyone attempts to point it out to them.

Thanks for your post 150.

It really is sad that so many Freepers have but the slightest grasp on the English language (including that ignoramus who snarled at me).

I think that one owes it to his readers to write correct English; to do otherwise is insulting. Additionally, to post material on this website in sub-standard English hurts FR’s reputation.
