Hi TL,

It's not "per say". It's spelled "per se", it's latin.
You're welcome. Good night.


Feel free to correct any common mistake that wakens the grammar nazi inside you.

"Latin" should be capitalized. :p

(I thought of putting in an intentional spelling error for someone else to catch, but figured they'd think it was an actual error, as opposed to a purposeful mistake)

But isn't that the whole point of doing this?

Oh yeah, this could be an actual lame forum thread game! But I think the crowd has moved on to other ways to kill time (crappy streams of people doing nothing for example).

Actually I do remember my very feminine and yet male high school English teacher telling me about this rule. But I'm never sure, do you always capitalize a language or nationality?

I will leave this mistake unedited for educational purposes.

It depends. If he's referring to National Socialists in a historic sense, then yes, but as a derogatory term, then it can be lowercase as well.

Yea, people who say "Lol" instead of laughing, just glorious!

What might annoy the most are people saying "your" instead of "you are" or "you're", as "your" is actually a real word and as it seems more than 70% of the people seem to use it wrong nowadays, so you slightly start to read it as "you're" already and when there is actually a sentence containing the real "your" word you have to reread it because you already read it as "you're" and the sentence doesn't make sense.

I believe there was something else that got so populated but I don't remember right now.

Should also be "was" and not "were" in the post with dammit.
Hell we can go farther and say it should be, "God dammit. I was almost 100% correct. My thanks though," just to be completely proper.

You should be using a semicolon after "per se", not a comma. You're separating two independent clauses.

Actually it doesn't strike me as an independent clause. To me they are pretty much closely related as "it" is the same object. And why can't you use the verb "wake" instead of "awake"? Can someone tell the difference?

Oh, and "omnubilated" doesn't exist. It's spelled "obnubilated".
"Ob" = above if I recall corectly, "nubes" = clouds.

According to my translation program wake has the meaning of actually waking up while being awake means you already woke up in the past and are awake now.

No they are independent clauses. Sure the subject of both is "it," but "it" is mentioned explicitly in both clauses and both can stand by themselves.
