I appreciate criticizm where I am wrong. I used to say "alls" or "allz" until I was corrected, I didnt even know I was doing it. I suppose I didnt realize I was spelling it certian, I guess Word auto corrects the word in a document maybe?
Also I dont usually use the apostrophe because I am lazy and most auto correcters insert the apostrophe automatically so when I type on a message board from my computer I dont put it in on my own.

But I digress, I do most of those things UN-intentionally and my grammar is not perfect, but I can at least use "our" and "are" properly in a sentence, unlike my friends. I try not to show my ignorance too much where I can help it so I rarely use a word spelled incorrectly when I know how to spell it. My exceptions to the rule would be (ony one I can think of ATM) "dunno" and maybe a few others?
You wrote the following passage in an earlier post:

"I suppose in the words of someone more wise that I.
Better to let people think you are a fool than to open your mouth (or keyboard in this case) and prove it."

You were using the words of "someone more wise than I," so isn't that quoting someone else, as in "making a quote?"

And furthermore, you also...Nah, I'm not going on any further.

See how this can turn into an endless, and IMHO pretty useless cycle?

I'm through debating the aftermath of "throwning stones."
