Post Grammar Contest!
Okay, kids. Grammar Knowledge Contest time.

There's one thing wrong in each of the following 10 sentences. First one to find and fix them all wins a hat customized with your n00bfest name and is autographed by Gman, Coach, Strange, and myself.

And begin:



1. He and I hardly see one another.

2. I’d cringe at the naked vulnerability of his sentences left wandering around without periods and the ambiguity of his uncrossed “t”s.

3. My brother called to find out if I was over the flu yet.

4. I only spent six weeks in Napa.

5. In my own mind, I can understand why its implications may be somewhat threatening.

6. From whence had his new faith come?

7. Please spare me your arguments of why all religions are unfounded and contrived.

8. She didn’t seem to ever stop talking.

9. As the relationship progressed, I found her facial tic more and more aggravating.

10. The Book of Mormon gives an account of Christ’s ministry to the Nephites, which allegedly took place soon after Christ’s resurrection.

EDIT: Everybody's 10th sentence is incorrect at this point in time. I'm only noting it in case someone goes back and changes their answers after I post.

Also remember, punctuation is not grammar. The original question specifically tells you to correct one grammatical mistake in each sentence.

Punctuation refers to periods, colons, semi-colons, question marks and things of that nature not to capitalization or pronouns in reference to deities. If that's the case then spelling shouldn't be a factor either referring to purple's post #7 'arguments'.

I'm just mad because I really want the damn hat

Ladies and Gentlemen! The results are in.

The winner of the contest is...



Strange or Coach.

That's mainly because they're the only two n00bs who have n00bfest hats con callsigns.

Actually, F*CK that. I'm the winner.

The sad reality of the situation is that I really just wanted to bend the minds of those brave enough to traverse the plane of grammar.

So thank you to everyone who participated. I hope you learned something new or remembered something forgotten and came away as a better person.

Bitches.
