Let me clear this up...

Alright, so I am quite the grammar Nazi, I hate misspellings, misused apostrophes, improper word forms and such, and I would just like to let you guys know that the plural (more than one) form of the word bass is basses. Not bass', not not bass's, not basss; basses.

Forgive my trolling, but this is something that greatly irks me.

 

[Tupac]

That's fine and dandy, but I won't forgive you for being one of the many people who throw around the word trolling while having no idea what it means.

Yes, the correct term is 'grammar nazi.'

 

[echoSE7EN]

Actually, your grammar is quite poor.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Nazi, eh?

 

[ksandvik]

Yep a comma after and (, and). And the last sentence semi-colon usage is suspect. Hey, now I'm a 'grammar nazi' as well.

 

[WoodyG3]

Alert, alert! There is an incomplete sentence and missing semi-colin above.

If you want to get technical, you should have put a period and not a comma after: "Alright, so I am quite the grammar Nazi,".

Talk about calling the kettle black.

On a side note, Happy Holidays.

 

[Johnny Alien]

Actually if we want to get technical, this thread shouldn't be in this section.

 

[Darkstrike]

Thank you.


This information has changed Talkbass for the better.


Oh wait.....

Yes, between 'Nazi' and 'I'; should be: "Alright, so I am quite the grammar Nazi; I hate misspellings,...."

I THINK that is correct.

I THINK that is correct.

I would have separated it with a full stop, but yours works better I think.

Either way, embarrassing for the OP considering his subject matter...

What is the difference between a cat and a complex sentence?


A cat has its claws at the end of its paws, and a complex sentence has its pause at the end of its clause.


Get it? Bwahahhahhaaaaa!!! Ok I'll stop.....

Wait a second, spelling the plural of bass wrong is a spelling problem, and not a grammar problem. The offending writer must have correctly used the plural form of the word in the right place, they just get the spelling wrong.

Could have been worse, it could have been Squire.

This! This soooooo hard !

Nazi, eh?

I swear you're on some kind of win streak with your recent posts, man !

Thank you. And while we're here, the plural of bassist is in fact bassists. I don't think very many people seem to know that.

And a female bass player is called a bass player. That's important to know, too.
