off: LigiaB> I was aware you were joking, as the message was juicy with happy smilies tongue.gif Still I explained myself, so that others know why & when I "pick on their words".

And which message exactly should I check for mistakes? The shorter one looks okay...

Maybe you mean you should have written: "I was able to use 8 emoticons and got away with it!"
Well, I think get is more correct, as it falls under the incidence of was able to, together with use, the function of the two verbs in the sentence being similar.

Ebe, I apologize, I absolutely goofed off, and by mistake I quoted you sorry.gif,

I found the mistake I made...it concerns the same word... or, maybe it's not a mistake because you did not see it?? laugh.gif

This is my quote:

QUOTE
Ebe, I asked because your spelling is perfect  and because you pick on others's spelling too  (that's good, if they don't mind  ).


If you want, you can correct me rolleyes.gif and if you don't care, then let it be... tongue.gif

First of all, I don't mind if I am quoted as mistaking smile.gif. Even if I was not mistaking - I just explain myself and that's all. The fact is that the sentence you quoted was wrong. Let me say why:
QUOTE (E.B.E.)
And I don't "pick" on other's words, I check them to be sure only when their spelling doesn't "look right".

The mistake is not in the grammar, but in the logic smile.gif. If I had been "picking" on just one person's words, it would have been okay. The context implied though that I was picking on everyone else's words. Therefore, the logically correct way for me to say it would have been:
"And I don't "pick" on others' words, I check them..."

Now, about:
QUOTE (LigiaB)
Ebe, I asked because your spelling is perfect  and because you pick on others's spelling too

There is a duplicate genitive "s" there. The correct spelling is, as before, " others' ".

Note however that I do not "pick" on that kind of "spoken" messages that the quoted sentence was part of. I do not require correct grammar or spelling for that kind of messages. Only in the right contexts - which include the english words game context.
