yeah it's a bit misleading

 

[UltimaScout]

For the 2nd Edition of PA Brawl Rankings it should go like
PA Brawl Rankings 2


1. Velocity/Vex Kasrani
2. Vex Kasrani/ Velocity
3. Xzax
4. ChiboSempai
5. Rogue Pit
6. Pav
7. UlitmaScout
8. Cless
9. Beat
10. Coldkilr

please dont make posts like this. besides the fact that were no where near making a new rankings list, this has been discussed with minimal people, and you are missing A LOT of people, and various data that would prove the rankings to be otherwise.

Yarly... I'm not #1

Not as long as one of my secondaries are DDD.

 

[BrawlLover]

they're made up right?

 

[GrammarPolice]

Not as long as one of my secondaries are DDD.

"One" is the noun in your sentence there, not "secondaries." "Of my secondaries" is a prepositional phrase used to modify "one" to describe which "one" you're talking about. As such, the proper verb should be "is" not "are."

In cases like this (ones with prepositional phrases) try removing the prepositional phrase and see if your sentence sounds correct.

In this case:

"Not as long as one are DDD"

This makes spotting the grammatical error much easier, and as such, let's us correct it quickly:

"Not as long as one is DDD"

Adding the prepositional phrase back in:

"Not as long as one of my secondaries is DDD"

This mistake is commonly made by trusting grammar checking tools in word processing applications such as Microsoft Word, and is why you should always double check your grammar even after letting the application check it for you.

 

[pockyD]

Not as long as one of my secondaries are DDD.

"One" is the noun in your sentence there, not "secondaries."

That is not even a "sentence".

In cases like this (one's (sic) with prepositional phrases), try removing the prepositional phrase and see if your sentence sounds correct.

In this case:

"Not as long."

...or possibly even...

"Not."

This mistake is commonly made by pretentious jerkbags.

Thank you, I'll look out for that one in the future.

Rats, I thought this would lead to a funner argument

Sorry to disappoint you. I'm willing to acknowledge when my posts are not as technically sound as one would expect from the grammar police and this is such an occasion. I wish you luck in your search for a "funner (sic)" argument.

"Funner" is a word -_-. I'm not writing for the New Yorker

You isn't not the GrammerPopo. IF anybody heard you speak to that in real life then you would obviously be laughed right out of the room cause of it.i personally am quite ecksquisite and am worthy of thy name. Back up son.

[BrawlLover]

[Mogwai]

I'm honestly pretty shocked at that .

Wow, even scrabble dictionary has it. Jeez, guess I'm screwing someone out of a turn the next time I play scrabble .

PockyD - 2
GrammarPolice - 0

I guess

can't just deduct a point after it has been given...

I may have found my new favorite smasher on boards.

I will continue to lurk everywhere I can every day (Like i always do) just to see this man (or woman?!) in action.

*lurks in a corner*

 

[Mogwai]

I'm going to cite the NFL's use of instant replays to take away touchdowns as precedent here for challenges being a suitable means of deducting points.

For the record though, Merriam Webster and I are fighting. Funner is totally not a word...

 

[BrawlLover]

fmmmm perhaps

I play casually due to some strange force that causes important band events to fall on the days of tournies,also being 15 sucks when there are none in the immediate area that can be attended.

 

[Scar]

Yeah it's a word but it's not correct and proper grammar, which is exactly what a grammar policeman is paid to uphold.

Ha, ha, you're in a band. Aww, wait, I'm in a band too, a college band nonetheless. Ah well, good news is that I have only one mandatory football game to go to this year and it's this Saturday, in which I don't think there are tournies. Woo for going to Inui's tournament on the 22nd.

P.S. Brawllover, can you send me a PM with your address and a way to get there from a train station? I have this lingering feeling that you are LOL-Master in disguise and thus would never actually play Brawl, but Melee is awesome too once I get the skills for it.

 

[BrawlLover]

dood i wuv brawl, i mean it's just so much for me to love, that i have to play melee, it's a sensual concept but you get the idea, yes i will send you my add like right meow to be exact

 

[pockyD]

Yeah it's a word but it's not correct and proper grammar, which is exactly what a grammar policeman is paid to uphold.

If you concede that it is a word, then how is it incorrect?

Given that it is a word, present me with one "correct" usage of 'funner'

 

[BrawlLover]

looool, im beginning to think that turd is bob, or bob's friend : ), oops, i mean *o*

PockyD is correct under the assumption that "funner" is in fact a word. However, it saddens me to think of a word where children grow up thinking that "soccer is funner than baseball," as such a statement will always hurt my ears, regardless of which dictionaries decide to pander to the poor grammar of many. For the record, Microsoft Word's spell checker still doesn't recognize "funner" as a word, so I'd be surprised if "funner's" status as a word was unanimously accepted. I would like to find a copy of the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary to see how far "funner's" acceptance has reached.

You would already know if you were the real grammar police.

apparently Merriam-Webster also recognizes ain't as a word

ain't it funner to change language than to learn it? hahaha

I've decided to open the point up for 2nd review, if the OED doesn't recognize funner, Grammar Police will have scored a point

 

[GrammarPolice]

The current version of the Oxford English Dictionary does not recognize “funner” as a word. Regardless, Merriam Webster does recognize it, so it appears to be a point of contention among experts of the English language. As such, I took it upon myself to research the topic.

The issue of whether "funner" and "funnest" are words appears to have been thrust into the public eye with Steve Jobs' keynote address at Apple's "Let's Rock" event in San Francisco this past September. Jobs is quoted as saying, "this is the funnest (sic) iPod ever," while unveiling a new ad campaign with the slogan, "The funnest (sic) iPod ever." This has sparked debate among many grammar enthusiasts about whether "funnest" and "funner" are in fact words. The responses vary from progressive minds accepting the words as the next logical step in the evolution of "fun," to hardliners who refuse to budge on the propriety of "funnest" and "funner." While there are merits to accepting "funner" and "funnest," I doubt that I will ever be able hear those "words" without cringing. As such, I find myself on the side of the hardliners here, but I'll grudgingly accept that the matter is up for debate due to the fact that "fun" has become acceptable to most English experts as an adjective as well as a noun.

 

[pockyD]

...well their's a fun fact
Edit: I'm irrationally satisfied with this post. I count 6.5, not counting punctuation or "barlw"
irregardless i could of cared less. arguing things like this are more pointless then playing barlw

 

[Scar]

There are none.

apparently Merriam-Webster also recognizes ain't as a word

It is a word, and is never used properly.

irregardless i could of cared less. arguing things like this are more pointless then playing barlw

...could have* cared less.

 

[pockyD]

Tip of the iceberg, my friend. I'm almost a little disappointed -_-

 

[Scar]

lol I was going for irony but that's okay, our respective disappointments *should* cancel out.
