Subject: RE: BS: Kerry is lying again...
I never claimed to use perfect grammar, grammar nazi. I usually don't bring up trivialities such as grammar or spelling until someone else does. Like, er, you. Now that you have done so, let's have a look.
My grammar was, I admit, colloquial, but yours is equally so. You should not begin a sentence with "and." To put a question mark at the end of an otherwise declarative sentence is not strictly correct, either. There is no reason to capitalize folkies, or the unconvincingly dainty euphemism "f." So to be strictly grammatical, your post should have been something along these lines:
Nerd, you wrote:
"Yes, I'd argue that all PEOPLE lie, but the question is what the intentions and consequences of the lies are."
How can you have the brass to lecture us folkies about grammar?
