"I'm trying to converse with you, but can't with the (???) sentence structured in the manner in which it was."

Grammar cops should try to speak in complete sentences, i.e., "...in which it was" what? "...in which it was scratching its navel"? "...in which it was counting to ten"? "...in which it was picking its nose"?

This may help.

I never claimed to be a "grammar cop" nor have I ever claimed to have perfect grammar or even acceptable grammar. You and Dane are calling me one. I worry about the grammar cops, such as yourself, myself.
Thanks for the link though, I need all the help I can get on "proper grammar". Oh, I try to keep my grammar proper, but sumtimes it just ain't no fun a'tall being "proper", if'n ya know whut I meen.
I stated that I couldn't make out what Dane was making (a statement, a question or if there should have been a comma or something in there [a grammatical error]). Can you tell me what it was or what it was meant to be since you're cojoined at the hip?
"...in which it was picking its nose"?
Speaking of "nose picking"...have a laugh on me.
Do you judge folks by their teeth as well as their grammar too (like someone unnamed)?
Why are you fighting Dane's battles anyway? (Oh that's right, you're just being a "grammar cop" yourself) Or are you still fighting the same one? Holding his water for him or are you just "lookin' fer a fight"? If'n a fight, I got a wet paper sack for ya that ya couldna fought yer way outt'n anyhow...
