Did you ever take an English class at SMU?

We should just, like, get more 5 stars.

Agree with your comment. As a finance and econ major myself, I have to admit that lack of writing/communication is one of the flaws of majoring in business only. One of the most basic and fundamental things people should do is take as many English and Lit classes as they can, regardless of their major. The Honors Program was great at this, although I still hated that damn music class where you had to memorize the composer and time period from just listening to a piece. In short, to those only business majors, learning how to write and express oneself goes a long way in any profession!

In other words, get an education along with your vocational training.

I'm edumacated.

I ams to.

Or get a clue that it's an online forum so the expectation would be that grammar nazis don't exist - failed. Also I post using my phone so the expectation there is you will have not only shortcuts but as well as mistakes. It's really not that hard to figure out. If y'all truly text and write on y'all's mobile device like English majors than please envision me giving you a round of applause for your great success

Lol to add to my comment, I'll also stick with major that leads to a job not a spot at lovers and 75 with a sign in my hand. again to reiterate, we are on a board online. It's not really a place that matters when it comes to grammar.

The funny part here is that you clearly tried on this post, but you still couldn't quite make your words clear.

SMU has so much wrong w/it from a fan perspective, please don't add grammar nazi to the equation. There is nothing worse on the internet than [deleted] critiquing each others english. Its a basketball board on the net, people

Agreed in principle. But people please use paragraphs on long posts to make it readable. End of vent of pet peeve.

Huh? How can you not read that? Geez, just sad that's the funny part.

Here, I've fixed it for you...subtle but better.

It's not that I didn't understand you. I did. But you tried a bit harder on that one, and it was still pretty muddled. So I'll continue to be smug, mainly because I don't like your attitude.
