lol.  Added rule: Can't be anything that is obvious to others outside of the forum.  exp: shaving head, dying hair pink, streaking down the street.  Keep them challenging, but nothing that will cause me further emberassment and ridicule outside of the forum. =D

The members of the trinity current consist of Nick, Arcaeus (me), Marsek, briang, iain (who's not on the forum but gets a spot anyways), and you, Parama.

That's hardly a trinity.

If you would use proper grammar and spelling at all times, it would already be in your brain that that is what you do. You will not have to consciously think about using good grammar or spelling anymore.  This will save you a lot of time not having to go over your essays countless times to make sure they are right.

It sounds like you left these lines in rough draft form, while revising the rest. Somehow a bit unrefined.

But well-done.
that was origionally 1 or 2 sentances.  he said it sounded confusing, and I should make it into separate sentences.   ;D

I would give it a B+. That paragraph where Jen pointed out your mistake is pretty incoherent. I might have an idea with what you wanted to say, but I'm still lost... and you should correct it.

Anyway, first task done!

Good essay, icysk8r. Stylistically, it's a bit convoluted at times, but otherwise, it's pretty well written.

Edit: Huh, I'm late.

Hey Chino shouldn't the Pancaker be Bosk since it was ultimately his post count that was given away to him?

The Pancaker doesn't have bosky's post count.  Pancaker's post count was just increased by 10,000.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I know, and it drives me crazy that omitting it is considered to be even remotely acceptable. In some circumstances, it can completely change the meaning of a sentence (to the educated reader, at least).
