It’s common to the point of mootness, but: when describing the planet, Earth is a proper noun and should be capitalized. Otherwise you are referring to soil.

    My rule with langauge:

    If you understand what they’re trying to say, then they did a good enough job expressing themselves.

    (Also I love how this post is getting loads of upvotes because people are just seeing Bernie’s message and liking it lol).

      I think its knot just you understand but how quicker it is to get demeaning it is also important. The more pour spells and grammer makes you to backup and red again, even if you can finally deciver it, the wurst it is.

      At some point you give up, but well before that you have every right to be annoyed.

      Ok but what type of LAN gauge? Are you talking like an ethernet cable tester, a protocol analyzer, what? Are we dealing with fiber, ethernet, or even shudder token ring?

      I get the message and generally don’t care for prescriptive grammar, but for some reason this particular rule haunts me.

      Let those votes be a lesson: camouflage your actual point behind a picture everyone loves and you will … win fake internet points?

        I think you deserve credit for finding a humorous, joyful way to make your point, instead of being obnoxious about it. I don’t even want to imagine what this post (and the accompanying comments) would be like on The Site That Shall Not Be Named.
