You people are all so funny! Arguing about proper English, just like on Youtube. Seriously, no one really cares how correct their grammar is as long as their point gets across. ( :) and just to get on all ur nerves, the message outside of the parenthesis is totally correct, grammar and spelling-wise XPPPPP)
Concerning this article (or whatev. it is), anyone who wants to lose weight would know to cut calories. This is useless information.
Wow… everyone’s so rude!
You people are idiots. Eat cake and go for a walk instead of quibbling about grammatical niceties.
none of you dont know gramar so better get back to work on english sections 0.1
Before you throw stones, look over the sentence you just wrote!
Wow…what is happening to our education system?
Hahahah! Clearly, she was joking!
You people need some serious calories in your diets then you wouldn’t feel so nasty! Go have some chocolate and get over it.
You’ve never made a typo in your life?
Yes jill I did finish english 101. In fact I have a degree but as nick said “have you never made a typo?”
Did anyone notice the author wrote “loose” instead of “lose”?
If you’re gonna preach, finish English 101.
Ouch. Take out the claws.
Haha, you said, “gonna.” That’s still not proper English grammar :)
Neither is the comma that you inserted just before the word “gonna” in your reply… but I suppose it isn’t easy being a judgmental idiot, so I will let it go.
