Correct Usage of Grammar

Don't forget about slaynish and I.

quoted for correct grammar

Colour can be spelled with a "u".

The name of the letter u doesn't start with a vowel sound. Would you say:
an united front
an yes man
an useful invention
an universal convention

A lapse in my English skills. Do forgive.

It seems to me that it has more to do with how the word sounds in the beginning rather than the actual letter it starts with.

An umbrella
An underdog
An hour

United, useful, and universe all start with a "y" sound.

So does the name of the letter U (pronounced "you")

Which is why it would be "A 'U'", and not "An 'U'". I guess what I'm getting at is if the word sounds like it would start with a constanant, then "A" would go in front of it, if it sounds like it would start with a vowel, then "An" would go in front of it. I was always under the impression that if a word started with the letter Y, then Y would be considered a constanant and not a vowel.

...This makes much more sense in my head...

It seems to me that it has more to do with how the word sounds in the beginning rather than the actual letter it starts with. An umbrella An underdog An hour United, useful, and universe all start with a "y" sound.

This is the reason i got a C in senior english and an A in spanish...

Comb
Tomb
Bomb

Screw thy language

Actually, the correct grammar there would be:

Don't forget about slaynish and me.

or

Don't forget about me and slaynish.

As a general rule, take out the other person and see if the sentence still makes sense:

Don't forget about I.
Don't forget about me.

i always thought it was if you are talking about 2 peopole in a sence it is "shirley and I" i was always scolded for "shirley and me"

It depends on the rest of the sentence. "Shirley and me" is just as correct as "Shirley and I", but only if used properly.

It's one of these rules that most people half know, and so misunderstand, thinking that the "and I" should be used instead of "and me" all the time.

Yeah I heard my english teacher saying something about that vaguely, I mostly payed attention in math. =P

Damnit! This is about post racing, nobody cares about proper grammar in here :P

Grammar should be inforced on this forum like its the law!

Enforced, and it's.

I feel like a hamburger today.

You poor thing! I think I've got a cream for that... or a sauce. To be frank, I doubt they'll work though.

I sumbit an idea for the approval of Chruser.

Grammar Protector - They are given the right to correct anyones fowl grammar. They can't be flamed for their corrections against 1337 speakers around the world. They shall enforce (thx jess) correct grammar throughout the zelaron community. Anyone seen taking on the identity of a Grammar Protector shall feel thy wrath.

lol i really like that idea, you could also throw in the rank of Offical Thread Bumber - allowing thy person to sumbit a review of a good thread bumb, or a post count thread bumb. (impo a thread bumb should have some more umpff in it then "lol i remember this")

With these 2 ranks integrated into our community - there will be no need for flaming a grammEr whore or a thread bumbing post countbuilding troller!

(i just finished watching 300, so i felt like im was yelling @ my army when i was writing all of this lol)

If we enforced grammar, we might also have to forbid Zelaronians from using words like don't, won't, couldn't, etc. etc. I admit refraining from using those type of words (forgot the term) would be a minor annoyance.

don't won't and couldn't are all correct grammar - why would you have to refrain from using them?
