You misunderstood my comment. The implication is that I would like to have a teenager who thinks like you, although I must confess that my daughter pretty much does. It was intended as a compliment to you.

Let that be a lesson to you anymore.

Ah, but how do you pronounce it (Ibanez)?
A drummer friend likes to say, 'Ee - bon - yez.'
(By the way, I placed the period correctly, did I not?)
During one of many stays in the hospital, I developed a fondness for grammar crackers (and pudding) that has stayed with me ever since.
You used the wrong quotes there, should have been doubles. I-ban-ezAh, but how do you pronounce it (Ibanez)?

“Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”
Attribitued to Hassan-i Sabbah, 11th Century leader of the Assassin Order, the maxim lends itself as an apt description of the Internet. In this case, however, I assume that your reply was made in all sincerity (and if so, quite courageous and commendable I must say). In response, please allow me to quote a more contemporary and entirely apropos maxim by the Great American Sage, Marge Simpson:
“Always be yourself.”
But of course, you knew that already and the only one owed an apology is Yourself.

P. S.: My guitar comment might have been a bit harsh. Sorry.

I'm American and have never heard anyone use "anymore" in that manner.
Ibanez (I'm unable to add the tilde over the 'n') is a Spanish surname. The company started out making fake Spanish guitars. It's correctly pronounced "ee-BON-yes" in Spanish, though I suppose since it's a Japanese company, anything goes.
I have not had enough time to read through this entire thread yet, but I do have some thoughts on the subject. I am not perfect with my punctuation, spelling or other grammatical policies and procedures, however I do believe I possess the ability to get a point across to most readers. My big entertainment with this is I believe we are witnessing the evolution of language before our eyes. For a growing number of people the ability to not only comprehend the meaning of a statement, even with the most common mistakes, but also start to except them is simply interesting and completely normal throughout history. There are so many people that don't even know the english language is the evolution of several other languages combined - particularly French and German. It is inevitable that our methods of communication will change dramatically from what we are used to, and there is really nothing we can do except watch it in action. It really can be interesting if you look at it from a different perspective.
I agree.
And I fixed it for you.
Thank you!! Like I stated, I am not the best at it and never claimed to be.
I do that myself sometimes; type a different word that looks or sounds the same, then I have to catch it by proof reading. I guess the brain plays tricks on you.
