I was travelling with my parents to Uppsala on a train, 2 years ago. (I'm a kid, and I was an even younger kid then.) (Uppsala is in Sweden). A woman sat next to us and she was playing a game on her phone and it looked fun and she said that it was called Templar Assault, that it ran on nearly every android phone, and best of all, it was free (since my parents won't buy me games on my phone) and I could download it on the train, and then she helped me with the english, which meant my parents were cool about it, because it meant I was learning english. Even if all I knew how to talk about was how to kill aliens. Now I have all your free games. Thank you very much. Lots of my friends at school play them, too, but maybe not as much as I do. Btw, you're English is very impressive! Says somebody who can't stop himself from mixing up "your" and "you're". If you'd be a foreigner, I'd take it as "Alright, excuseable mistake". But you've been born, raised and educated in Boston. Let me put this in underscores, as I don't want to use caps: _Boston!_ /rant Anyway, predatordrone: Welcome to this cozy little family, eh? Enjoy your stay, all drinks are paid for and you can stay as long as you like! Don't leave to soon, alright? Glad you finally found us. And kudos to the women that led you here, as well! (Hell, I hope it's been the Badger Queen.)

Jacob - I was not born or educated in Boston. I type fast and I make mistakes.

Darn, darn, darn! Okay, good, void all oft that apart from the part to preddr. Sorry, thought one of you two said so.
Where were you born and educated, anyway?

Jacob - I've lived in Boston for the last 9 years, that's definitely what you've heard. No worries I'd whoop up in a typing test for accuracy, but left to my own devices without a spell-checker, I am trouble.

Well, on a phone... TouchPal X or Android with KitKat.
And then I mixed you two up... Darrrrrrn.

Ahhhh Jacob. It's MY native language and I'm ALWAYS catching myself typing the wrong one, even though I have a certificate in English Literacy. Should be "illiteracy". Lol.

Btw, you're English is very impressive! Says somebody who can't stop himself from mixing up "your" and "you're". If you'd be a foreigner, I'd take it as " Alright, excuseable mistake". But you 've been born, raised and educated in Boston. Let me put this in underscores, as I don't want to use caps: _Boston!_ /rant Anyway, predatordrone: Welcome to this cozy little family, eh? Enjoy your stay, all drinks are paid for and you can stay as long as you like! Don't leave to soon, alright? Glad you finally found us. And kudos to the women that led you here, as well! (Hell, I hope it's been the Badger Queen.) Well, I can't quite resist... "you'd be" should be "you had been" or "you were" a foreigner... "Alright" isn't technically a word-- formally it's "All right", but more importantly it should be "an excusable mistake". "You've been" should be "you were born in Boston". The "underscores" section has some slight issues: can't really put a word in underscores when really surrounding a word with them, and caps ought to be caps lock. So I suggest: "Let me put down some underscores so I don't have to bring my caps lock in this thread to whoop your illiterate gluteus maximus: _Boston!_". [I'm just poking fun of course. I've seen some truly atrocious (A.T.R.O.C.I.O.U.S.!!!) writing in my (short) time on Earth and you, Jacob, put many of them to shame.

You'd be = you would be (I have been told by US citizen that this is valid. Alright = Really? Okay, good. Excusable = I kinda felt I was wrong, but ignored it. My guts are usually a good source of knowledge when it comes to language. You've been = Okaaaay, good. (Gnarf!! Second one she got me on! GNAAAARRRRRF!!!) And on here, I can't put a word in underscores, because I'm too lazy to type out the BBCode. So I took the Badger Queen's Idea to surround them. And to the part where you state that put many others to shame: I KNOW!! That's why they sent me. Err... Damn, told too much. Feels good to gear it from time to time, regardless.
