Fantasy Football Sterotypes

[Nige]

I think it's turned into more nicknames. Yeah Nige is the grammar nazi! Haha

I actually think it's still stereotypes, but instead of fantasy football, the forum. 

[Vinny]

Yeah fair enough! Didnt mean gramar nazi in a bad way, haha.

[Nige]

The Nazis weren't good, so I fail to see how calling someone a grammar Nazi can't be meant in a bad way.  ???

[Vinny]

Hahaha take the nazi out if you want, I just said it cause KB said it. You just correct everyone's grammar and have said you hate it when people make grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes. :P

Are double negatives bad or something? I don't understand. It still means the exact same thing?

English is not my strongest subject.

[Vinny]

It's kind of contradicting what you are saying in the same sentence.


eg. He didn't say nothing.

Should be he didnt say anything because he didnt say nothing means that he actually did say something. So that is a double negative if that makes sense.

Why would it be "he didn't say anything"
They would mean different things

flower english.

On this note, flammable and inflammable. Both mean the same flowering thing. It makes me want to burn every english dictionary ever.

Because anything is showing means it can be anything that has been said. Nothing is well nothing..

If you said he didn't win nothing. That means nothing is what he didnt win. Which means he did win something.

floweeeer so hard to explain, haha.

Yeah that's stupid, Whoever thought of making two words like that were high.

[Nige]

Y'all don't know that don't shower faze me.  ;)

But if I were to say "I didn't win nothing", I would be implying that I did win something, I've just worded it differently. I wouldn't be trying to say that I've won nothing.

That is correct. Haha. What do you mean worded differently? How else could you have worded it?


Hahaha.

Hahaha.

Instead of saying "I did win something", I'm wording it differently by saying "I didn't win nothing"

I highly doubt I would ever articulate myself in that way, but this was the example, so I've decided to go with it.

[Vinny]

Haha yeah but you should be saying "I did win something."

The latter is considered incorrect I think and it sounds colloquial too but I am not sure if its an actual mistake.

Anyway, you know you should use the first one but the second sounds stupid.

I like how the guy giving English advice is the same fella who continuously said "his" instead of "he's".  ;D
