Not very long ago, on this very board, you decided to emend a member's grammar. I responded by writing something like O, that's rich--the guy who doesn't know the difference between its and it's correcting someone's grammar! You insisted you do know the difference, but, as I guessed, you truly don't. Now, I'm not going to read through all your inanity to find this particular mistake, but should I happen to see it, I'll point it out. If you learn its proper usage, perhaps we shall move on to who's and whose.

Have I corrected anyones grammar since then?
I bite my tongue everytime someone incorrectly uses less instead of fewer.
Oh well, at least you're not wasting your expensive education.

If you cannot afford a dictionary, one will be provided for you:
AMEND VS EMEND
The question of whether to use amend or emend is a vexing one for many people, complicated by the fact that the words sound quite similar and have meanings that overlap to a considerable degree. Both words can be used with the meanings “to improve” or “to correct,” but there are subtle differences. Emend is most often used in connection with changes to some form of written material, such as a text or manuscript; while such documents may also be described as amended, amend can apply to improvements or corrections made to things other than writing, as in “he amended his behavior.” The confusion is compounded by the fact that one of the most frequently encountered uses of amend is in reference to a document: the Constitution of the United States.

You don't have to custom resize the image on the computer, I just find what the dimensions are of the image, then just use math the convert the sizes so the largest dimension is 250 and the the smaller dimension is whatever it converts to

Maybe try reading what I posted again. And no, your gif doesn't effect bandwidth as a sig. It only needs be loaded fully once and then it's remembered by the computer.

Not necessarily true. Depends upon the browser he is using and the settings.

You twat.
I knew the difference between its and it's before I graduated what we in the USA call elementary school, or what you might call areas frequented by children.
