Je suis Omar

Now that is grammar! But capitals, punctuation, spelling are not grammar. But again, the notion that you learn/are taught grammar and the rules of grammar in school are a truly fatuous notion. You came to school fully equipped with all the rules.

You learned the names of the words that you already knew were nouns and adjectives and verbs and adverbs. How do you think you did that as a wee child?

Nothing at all, BM, but it's not grammar.

Pick any one you've learned and in all likelihood you'll have one.

Many of the very ones you've learned, BM. But it seems everyone is so terribly frightened that they're going to find out that their favorite uncle is a pedophile.

That's done to a lot of USA war criminals and terrorists. And they even make propaganda films about them .

Why do the real bad guys get all these get out of jail free cards? They should have served life sentences.

This really is a whole lot of nothing. Every country in the world should have nuclear weapons and everyone might as well aim them inward at themselves 'cause once things start rockin' & rollin', we's all toast, severely burnt toast.

Wilber: I think rules and standardization ... . You keep talking about rules but nobody seems to remember any. Kinda odd don't you think when so many folks follow these "rules"?

Sharkman: How freaked out would Canadians be to such an act of terrorism, with the resulting effects across the country? Je suis Omar: Pretty damn freaked out, I'd say considering how loudly they have been "baaaaing" over virtually nothing. Sharkman: If a foreign entity fired a hundred missiles a day into Toronto for a week, just how long do you propose we do nothing and just take it? Je suis Omar: How long do you propose the Afghans and Iraqis do nothing and just take it?

Still no discussion of the science. Do you recall giving the following a big thumbs up, GostHacked? Moonlight Graham: "They must be taught and reminded time and again that they must be critical not just what they read in some Shakespeare play or math problem, but they must be critical of and question every single assumption that they've ever had and ever will come across. To never take anyone's word for anything, and to question everything, be critical of everything until shown logical evidence or reasoning to adequately support or prove it. This will raise citizens who aren't just sheep, who won't be easily tricked by media or government propaganda, but are free thinkers."

Moonlight Graham: Yes, they do teach some critical thinking skills in high school and below. In English class writing essays or in science or in math class. ------------------ And western societies have failed miserably at this. Not only do high school students fail to exhibit these critical thinking skills, so too do adults at every level of society. The sheep are so easily frightened on so many topics that truly need to be discussed.

Two dandy examples exemplifying the title of the thread. Why is there such great difficulty providing just one example of all the "grammar rules" we supposedly learned in school?

"Canadian" is not a language, jbg.

The ones who don't have a jar head mentality concern themselves with which prez will kill the smallest number of innocents around the globe.

Layne Morris: "I think people who support the release of Khadr are uninformed, and in many cases deliberately uninformed." http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com//news/canada/why-u-s-soldier-who-lost-his-eye-to-a-grenade-tossed-by-omar-khadr-thinks-canadian-judge-made-a-big-mistake WOW! Talk about uniformed ignorance. (But he is American). The USA committed the ultimate war crime, the invasion of a sovereign nation. This Morris is one of the terrorist/war criminals who marched off to partake in yet another set of massive USA war crimes, based on, what else, American lies.

A couple of USA (Canadian branch) war mongering corporations would be fair. Maybe he could be given Monsanto and then he could give a proper settlement to the people of Vietnam for the half century of USA terrorism/war crimes.

The USA starts their child terrorists at a much much younger age.

Just those with a jar head mentality.

Leaders in the same sense that the biggest, most vicious mafia gang are the leaders.

It truly is amazing how so few are willing to discuss the science.

Capitals, punctuation, spelling, ..., is not grammar, Wilber.

You could easily post equivalent, non-private material to demonstrate whatever grammar point it is you want to demonstrate but that would take you into uncharted waters. Not at all where you want to go.

Then where is the difficulty in describing one or two or three, Wilber?

Your second sentence is ungrammatical, OGFT, but we all understand you. Why are you having so much trouble providing an example of the grammar errors you say you correct? For money.
