Things that bother me

In California it is a felony to eat horses. That very nearly got into the State Constitution on a referendum but it only got enough votes to be a law, not an amendment. I hear it was sponsored by a rich horse lady.

I LOVE smoked horse meat.

Now you did it....gotta tell my favorite horse story....

A woman goes to a shrink....she says "Doc, I got a problem...my husband thinks he's a horse."

The shrink says "That's a serious problem....will require a lot of sessions....that is expensive....can you afford it?"

She says "CERTAINLY, HE WON HIS LAST THREE STARTS!"
 
let me jump in with this we musnt leave the people who dont use capitalization commas periods etc and proper spacing in a sentence out I often find this to be one of the most frustrating things period your points should be properly isolated and defined hence the need for these things so dont be a moron and give us a headache with your kindergarten bs by the way did you see deadpool did you like it i thought it was fantastic also what do you like to drink when playing pool i like chasing my tequila with cold beer I swear it helps me see straighter

Good Lord, I gave myself a headache with the above...um, paragraph. I wonder if those who actually write that way would develop headaches if they tried to do it correctly?
 
The possessive form of "its" has no apostrophe.

Example: The pool room on the corner opened its doors a year ago.
 
I see many MUTE points in this discussion. A MOOT is used in trumpets and trombones to alter the sound. Mitch
 
Your wrong cuz people ken say whatever they're want, it's a free contry. Okay than, back to irregularly scheduling programmer.

Like the Woody Allen joke:

A man complains that his brother thinks he's a chicken.
His buddy tells him to send his brother to a psychiatrist and that should cure him.
To which the man replies, "I can't. We need the eggs."

No, we don't. The horse is regarded as more than just a meal. The horse has a long and storied history in the USA since the time horses arrived from Spain in the 16th century.

Native Americans as well as many Americans back in the day valued their horses for hunting and warfare. They treated their horses very well, gave them names, and they always drank first after a long ride.

That's only because they ate them until they were extinct the first time.

Horse are native to North America, and were hunted to extinction by early human immigrants.

Thank you kindly.

Old posts? No need to look that far.

I hate it when people mix up then and than.

How about your current signature:







Still straighter then 90 % of all Meucci cues ever made

Basic stuff! LOL!


We all screw up the language. Even basic stuff.

I fixed that for you.
I know my use of English and punctuation is sometimes not good. But I was just pointing out some obvious things.

How about we accept trades not we except trades.

To be clear it doesn't bother me except if you are going to start a thread complaining about the improper use of the English language you probably need to use correct English in your post - like capitalizing a proper noun.
