Syntax Error

[aggienaut]

Gena Rinaldi: your grammer is wrong
Kris Fricke: the word is grammar
Kris Fricke: with two as
Gena Rinaldi: okay
Gena Rinaldi: but it's effect, not affect
Gena Rinaldi: it's still grammatical
Kris Fricke: thats a syntactic error actually


(Moral of the story: if you're going to point out minor lexical errors, you best not make any yourself.)

(the above conversation is the result of the enthusiastic reception by UCD MUN officers of an amendment to their Bylaws I emailed to them)

that's not a grammatical error. that is a spelling error. didn't we have that conversation or did you fail to recall that when making a post?

moral of the story: thanks for taking the time to capitalize on my mistakes to livejournal. I really appreciate it.

I really don't recall you ever saying it was a spelling error. I'm sorry. This was supposed to be coded only to people who don't know you and never would, but as luck would have it you had accidently been included in the "people I've never met" group. d= I'm sorry I really didn't intend to make you look bad I just thought it was a funny interchange.


(I had to rearrange the codings of this so you could still read it after I removed you from people-I-don't-know, so people you know can read it now. I'll remove your name from the conversation though I guess to try to preserve it from being a personal attack)
