Re: Grammar Days with dpatt711
I know that it'd sound stupid, I'm just playing around. :p
It still technically is incorrect to call it grammar days when it's partly correcting people's spelling, and you make no attempt to let people know you are aware that misspelled words isn't a part of grammar. I just noticed that and thought it was ironic so I decided to point it out. lol. -

"Payed" is not incorrect grammar, it's not even a word. It's incorrect spelling. (You might be right about "their, they're, and there" and a few other things, though. I think those count as grammar.)

You correct grammar in this thread too...
It should be "Orthography and Grammar Days" because there are some grammar corrections too. Not one or the other.
I'm not trying to nitpick, just saying, the disclaimer is still misleading. :p -
