"Remember," he said, "that closing quotation marks go on the outside of the punctuation, not the inside."
And the bastard who use too many ellipsis ...should be 3 no more... no less

This is a message board not an English class. Why does it matter?
I do know he difference between there and their, and the rest. But to tell the truth, on a message board I don't give a flying **** if I make errors once in a while. I type half asleep and occasionally tipsy. What the heck!
So long as it isn't a mile long run on sentence that I can't read without loosing my place, I'm OK with all the other people who type away and don't bother correcting.

Personally I admit, that half the time I don't have a clue about my apostrophe limits or my grammar, and I shall continue to not care

I wonder where this thread topic stems from!

This goes back to Lynn Truss' "Eats, Shoots & Leaves".
Or should that be:
