hey, please don't take offense to this but it's kind of getting like scratching the board to me around here. it's sales. it'd be effecting sales, not sells. alot of people seem to want it to be sells but it's just not.

i get a for making a post on grammer but i just had to get that out.

Pot, meet kettle.

There are at least 6 grammatical errors in your "correction." See if you can find them.

What are the 6? I can only find four. This reminds me of language arts class back in 5th grade. lol

Hehehe, here is the corrected version:

Hey, please don't take offense to this, but it's kind of getting like scratching the board to me around here. It's sales. It would be effecting sales, not sells. A lot of people seem to want it to be sells, but it's just not correct.

I get a for making a post on grammar, but I just had to get that out.

There were actually 12 and I may not have gotten them all.

MORAL: Those in glass houses should not thrown stones.

You are missing one more. It should be: "its sales" not "it's sales" because it's is a contraction for it is and its is the correct possessive form.

I hope I never am bored enough to make a grammar post again
