Now, this is from an unexpected source.....

Have you ever seen or read anything that once you see or read it,you never want to have anything to do with it again? I've had this experience a bunch of times,most recently with Toonami on Adult Swim's rerunning of "Deadman Wonderland." If you wonder why I feel this way,think about this. Take nearly every film and TV show ever set in a prison,mix in some Roger Corman flicks,put it in a blender,put it on mix,and voila! You've got "Deadman Wonderland."

Talk about typing with razor blades!

I know a few days have passed but I think it's really important that I clarify what you mean here.

As your quote is currently written it is a command that is telling us to go find some Nazis and shut them up. That doesn't fit the context in which this statement is embedded.

I think you are intending to address the Grammar Nazis directly with the command to shut up. In that case it should read,

Shut up, grammar nazis!


As you can see, the correct placement of the comma is essential to clear expression.

Of course, there is still the matter of correct usage of capital letters.

(I just hope I haven't made any grammatical errors. I'm sure I have.)

Heh, someone still remembers me? It's not like I posted very often. Anime smile + sweatdrop

I'm good, thank you. It's just that university is taking up a lot of my time. Mathematics is hard. Anime dazed

Yeah, as hard as it is to admit that, I will probably end up the same... I said I'm good, but in truth, I'm actually kinda depressed.

Mathematics is tough indeed. I hope you can talk it over with your people at home and look for help if needed. Really, don't wait too long.
And most people have been there before! When things didn't work out in life, emotions pile up, some people almost depressed, quite a few actually suffer from a (mild to severe) depression. You're not the only one!
And most of us eventually turn out fine (or... are lost in the world of anime fandom. That might not qualify as fine Wink )

And I don't forget people that easily. You posted quite frequently too.
Unless your standard for high frequency is >10 posts a day and overall post count of 10,000.

But then I wouldn't qualify either.

And I'll be forgotten as soon as I leave this place for a few days Crying or Very sad

I wouldn't forget you either AM... Ignatz on the other hand Wink

Ignatz it's good to see you are still alive and I'm sorry to hear you aren't as good as you were - remember you can always pop by and let loose on us if you needed; I hope all works out for you soon.

If I didn't do something to deter people from always quoting me, this entire thread would be filled with my quotes. And as justified as that is, because I'm such an amazing individual, I can't help but think of the littler people who work so hard at being quoted in this thread. They would constantly be overshadowed by my glorious presence. So, it's for those littler people that I make such a noble sacrifice. As a mod, it is my duty to set an example for others to follow, and I am happy to do so.
