I'm tempted to name this thread after our most serious offender.
Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

This is going to get more and more fun  :)
Posting single posts just don't seem to do it for me.

So what do you propose? Posting a bunch of posts?

3, 4 or more from the same poster would show a nice pattern.

I think we should make a Wiki that keeps track of how many times someone made it to this thread.  :)

If you came here looking for churning tips, or where to go for a weekend trip from NYC, you came to the wrong place.

This isn't a thread meant for easy, flowing reading. It's mean to incentivize threads which are easy, flowing reading.

Meant - or - it's a means

It's mean to incentivize threads
Meaning not clear. How can you incentivize a thread/s?
If the threads are easy flowing reading, why would it need an incentive?


Maybe there ought to be a thread dedicated to grammar/punctuation etc...

1. But you just did - uh oh is that grammatically correct? 

2. Okay, don't respond to my "useless drivel"  ;D

3. Actually, I didn't "edit  away typos/typo's" (as I personally don't really care about typos/typo's/grammar/puctuation/useless drivel) what I did do was add more to the original post.

Waiting for you not to respond to my useless drivel...

And, CV, do you think I need a pattern posting here? :P

It's just one of the things self-respecting people outside of India do.

Actually, Indians tend to punctuate properly.

I opine that the difference between texting and posting in an online forum is vast. One is a private message generally read once, by one person, whereas the other is a permanent and public representation of your statement.

Anything that is being prepared for public consumption should be given care.

You missed my point. I never said Indians don't punctuate properly.

Agreed.

Of course there's another difference which is also relevant, and that is, that in a text you are usually limited on space so you don't always have the luxury of punctuating and making sure that everything is grammatically correct.
