Who am I?

• I'm married to a wonderful man who plays GW and EQ with me.

• I play PvE.

• I have some characters.

• I can almost always be found in the emptiest zones possible.

• I'm part of a guild that consists only of me and my husband -- no one else.

• I'm a casual player, and don't know jack spit about anything in the game except how fun I still find it.

• Bad grammar is a serious pet peeve of mine. I will not edit comments, suggestions or remarks, but I will edit pages I come across as I'm looking stuff up to make the page more concise and easy to read.

• Should anyone, by any chance, stop to add any comments to this page, please be intelligent and use your words, correct spelling and punctuation. I will delete your posts if you speak to me in "chat lingo" (u, ur, n00b, lol, lmao, etc.).

Thank you.

Quick Grammatical Lesson

Let's talk PLURAL, shall we? More to the point, Apostrophes.

1. Booger -- Singlular. "I have a booger in my nose."

2. Boogers -- Plural. "There are many boogers in my nose."

3. Booger's -- Posessive. "That booger's string is long."

3a. Booger's -- Contraction (noun with verb). "That booger's so gross."

4. Boogers' -- Posessive plural. "Those boogers' strings are long."

Do you get it? See, when you add an -'s to a noun, it makes it posessive or indicates a contractive verb. When you add just an 's' to a noun, it becomes plural. So, when you type: "I have bunches of gold's for sale!!", you're grammatically incorrect, and therefore have no right to get upset when someone corrects you (unless your native tongue is not English/American English). "What are you selling that's from 'Gold's'? Does anyone know you're selling Gold's stuff?" You can call me a nitpicker all you want, but in my eyes, when I see you doing this, whatever you say to me I'll have to take with a grain of salt: if you don't know how to spell and use grammar, how can I trust what other knowledge you have? Remember, it's the little things in life that stand out.
