Since you said it was OK to nitpick about grammar, I'm going to. You used "whom" incorrectly twice. If you don't know the difference between "who" and "whom", I'd advise that you just stick with "who" because no one else knows the difference either.
Ahhh. But then how do we know that YOU know the difference? :tongue.gif:
I never use whom. It seems like a wasted space in the dictionary that could be filled by something more useful.

The difference between "who" and "whom" is that "who" is used for the subject, like "he" or "she". "Whom" is used as the direct or indirect object, like "him" or "her". I know you were being sarcastic, but still.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll proofread my work and correct the errors.
Fixed those grievous errors which have kept you from properly understanding the article. Keep in mind that I wasn't referring to members whom ATTEMPT to make sound articles, but members who refuse to use proper English.
I've seen posts that are but a single sentence, yet each word was misspelled or a ****ing text message; grammar is incomprehensible, and the entire article is riddled with smilies and spaces.

There's still another incorrect "whom" right under the "Seriously, there's a Search Bar" section.
Actually, we're both wrong. They're abbreviations. In order for it to be an acronym, they'd have to be able to be pronounceable as a word like NASA, SCUBA, NAMBLA(yeah, I went there) etc. Something like FBI, CIA, NCAA, CDA, and others cannot be pronounced as a word so they're not acronyms. I will correct them as an abbreviation though.
You could pronounce stfu and gtfo, you'd just sound lik an idiot.
Which is the point. in order for it to be an acronym it has to have basic word structure (at least 1 vowel per syllable, that kind of thing).

Excuse me, but you forgot to capitalise the word 'Heaven'. As it is the name of a place, the first letter requires capitalisation. You also forgot to capitalise the word 'people', as an ellipsis surely counts as the end of a sentence, necessitating the beginning of the next word with a capitalised first letter.
Beat you to heaven, and an ellipsis does not end a sentence.
Not necessarily, an ellipsis can ... cut out the ... meat ... of an individual sentence for the sake of brevity.
Alright alright, children. Enough arguing, lets leave this thread open for more concerns instead of getting this closed and unstickied; I need to use this to improve and expand OP too.

There's still another incorrect "whom" right under the "Seriously, there's a Search Bar" section.
Thanks for the lookout though.
Outside of noted misuse of grammar, is there any other issue or addition to note?

Those are acronyms. Consider yourself critiqued.
