    If I was as cheeky in real life as I am on boards, I wouldn't be able to walk down the street without getting at least one headbutt. I've suffered loads of infractions, and a 4 month ban from the site in my time here... I wouldn't survive too long in the real world :D

    I'm a grammer naxi in real life as well as here. For example if one were to say "me and John" I would immediately correct them by saying "John and I".

    People who know me are used to it but it can cause problems with strangers. Surprisingly the worst offenders are older people who aren't impressed by an eighteen year old upstart correcting them.

    I'm a bit of a grammar nazi here myself, but in real life it really doesn't matter to me.

    Why does nobody believe I spelt grammar incorrect on purpose ?

    Or was the ironing so sweet that it clouded peoples judgement.

    Do you do that only when "John and I" is acting as the subject of the sentence or also when "John and me" is correctly acting as the object? If you always do it regardless, maybe that's why the old dears get annoyed at you as they swing their shopping bags at your head.

    Being mouthy and fighting at the barricades at the Stephen's Green end of Kildare Street.

    Mental note: build barricades at the Trinity end first to avoid motorists getting annoyed, it's only polite.

    Obviously the latter as "I" cannot be used as an object. For example my uncle gave I a lift yesterday.

    No, both 'spelt' and 'judgement' are valid spellings. You should, however, have pulled him up on the use of an adjective in place of an adverb instead of repeating the error in your own post.

    Oi, Admins are not supposed to be funny... :P



    OP, I am the same here as I am in real life, a polite, friendly, liberal, 18 year old hot blonde with large tits and a cracking body who loves casual sex with random strangers... :cool:
