Try harder next time, but not so hard that you strain yourself.
In other words, you really don't want that title. Else, why bother with the effort involved to come up with that trying-to-sound-eloquent-but-failing reply of yours?

There are so many grammar rules; memorizing all the rules is nearly impossible, for some of them are so obscure and incoherent.

so are you saying people shouldn't bother learning basic grammar at all because there are so many rules, or what?

Obviously his English skills are unferior to mine.

Yes, the tank rolls away to destroy your community. And if you destroy it 1.5xE9 T-34s will rise in it's place!

I wasn't trying to sound eloquent, I was insulting you, boyo. Perhaps the mild tone and lack of four-letter words confused you. Confusion... the story of your life.

Please, as gramer poleeseman I must correct you. I believe you meant:

"Whyz dis teh turnz0ring into teh sp4mmerz haus??????/// Itz teh crazy if ur aksing mez!!!!!!1111"

Proper punctuation is important. Anyway... this is spam, even if I started it. So I must crush.
