The game is to point out the incorrect grammar in the person above you's statement while leaving one in you're own. Let's see who the biggest Grammar Nazi here is. Proof reading is essential as you should have exactly one grammatical or spelling error in your post.

Let's see, your correction wasn't entirely correct. A more verbosive, and proper, correction would be

- the "you's" phrase should actually be changed to "the statement of the person above you"

The second correction was fine.

As for your own post, it is a wee bit incoherent, but I think the intentional flaw was this

-"i got this" should be changed to something more along the lines of "I can fix those mistakes for you" This properly declares what you will be fixing as well as using proper tenses.

But the problem with your post is that two of your sentences lack periods.

Actually, the error was that the "i" wasn't capitalized. (Which is hilarious because you quoted the exact same phrase it was in and didn't even noticed it).

I think the error in Raze's phrase is... Starting a sentence with a "but"? Not really sure how to call it.

There were Two things wrong with the above post. Fristly (and I assume this one was intentional) you said "noticed" as opposed to the grammatically correct "notice." secondly you usedan elipse where a collon would have been more appropriate.

Where to start? Ok. The "Two' shoud not be capitalized, it should be "firstly" (with the capital) instead of "fristly", your "secondly" wasn't capitalized when it should have been as it just came after a period, missed a space between "used" and "an", should be "ellipsis" and not "elipse", and should be "colon" not "collon".

Also, the elplisis in DAVE's post was correct. As that is a signification of thought.

How odd, i swear that i corrected almost all of those issues while proof reading. I suppose I was mistaken. As for your post, "should" is spelled without the L in the first line and while this point is argueable, a fullstop is traditionally placed within a set of quotation marks rather than on the outside.

So yeah. There you are. That's that, and no harm done. Except of course to the purity and divinity of grammar you fiend!
I actually had haIf a mind to post a really long cluster of text with only one grammatical error in it, but I was too lazy.

I don't think there are any grammatical errors within your post of a video. Collegehumor is quite funny though. Even if they do use wacky American spelling in their name I still find them amusing.

You are missing a comma after "name", crazy frog.

Impressive. I didn't expect anyone to get that. For you, "frog" should be capitalized and depending on whether you are using crazy as part of a referential noun or as an adjective, it may have to be capitalized as well.
