I doubt it since no money is changing hands for the keys and the deal will likely of been made with codemasters but a question to ask fereal perhaps

Thank you Grammar nazi i missed you

Honestly there are better ways to express your displeasure with his unsolicited advice; "Thank you clippy" seems a good deal more on point, and a lot more insulting. ;)

Why insult somebody that helps you? People should know the difference between "of" and "have." They aren't interchangable. Why are people so allergic to that?

I agree with you, but I think "Clippy" would have been a nice one. (He even got a full name in the German version, "Karl Klammer". *moan*)

They can't give away Feral's work for free, so somehow, money must change hands. I wonder if the amount depends on the number of keys handed out.

Can anyone confirm that Dirt 4 multiplayer works cross platform with Windows? I had a quick Google and could find nothing specific.

Why do people like you feel the need to correct other peoples Grammar and/or spelling? To me personally, it's pig-ignorant. English is used across the internet as most people use it so it's easier for everyone. It may not be the first language of the person you are correcting. It could have been auto-translated. I use Grammarly to help me with my blog and it gives OF and HAVE as being fine in the sentence. What you added to this thread (much like this) added nothing. I think there should be a three strikes and you're out approach to comments like yours.

Only a native English speaker can confuse "of" and "have" because they are completely unrelated words; the only thing they have in common if that some people pronounce them the same way I think.

"Would of" definitely does sound similar to the contraction "would've". But yeah, it seems like a common mistake among native speakers only.

To potentially improve it?

I wonder how hard it seems to be to simply ignore such a correction if one doesn't care to be corrected.

Because I want to help and want others to be correct. It really seems like some people are wrong on purpose when they lash out at people that correct them. What's the harm? It's no insult or anything. It's a correction. Don't you want to get things right?

And what does it matter if it's their first language or not? It's not my first language either and I made (maybe still make) silly mistakes, because I'm still learning. I'm eager to get things right.

And STRIKING somebody for HELPING? Wow. You know, Liam has a function on this side to send in corrections, because he wants his articles to be free of typos. Does he lash out at people for helping him? No. He sends out a "thanks!" more often than not, even though it's completely unnecessary.

Thank you. Got it

I completely agree. Having used the internet since 1992 I find it amusing the changes in terminology used, it changes depending apon whatever is seen as 'cool' at the time even if grammatically incorrect. I will never pick someone up over there/their/they're because in the real world they sound the same... sometimes we just type what we are thinking and even if spelt wrongly the interpretation remains the same. Some years back it became trendy to use 'whom' all the time as though the word 'who' no longer existed. It was farcical because if they use 'whom' instead of 'who' in a sentence in the real world they would be laughed at.

The latest additions are catch phrases like 'and such' 'and whatnot' 'as such' 'and the like'.
