You have the opportunity to choose the winner for Assignment 284: "Sweet". Although all of the entries showed good potential and the choice was very hard to make, I took several factor into consideration, including image quality, subject matter, relevance to the assignment, and creativity just to name a few.

Hey Fred, just something that has been bugging me for a while now. In the sticky post, it always says that all the entries showed potential but "i took many FACTOR into consideration. If you would like to use correct grammar ( i know, because i just finished verb-direct object agreemennt) you would use FACTORS. Took factor is not correct. took factors is. Sorry if you think this picky, just have nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to buy, so hopefully you will change this and i will have out my newfound grammar skills to good use. Thanx a bunch, and have a great day, bye!

Why, i dont see any grammar errors except "thanx", but that was purposeful... Should i reread it because it is amazingly superb in a variety of ways, including grammar, sentence variety, and style, so superb that it deserves to win the Nobel Peace prize, because it is such a soothing paragraph that is has made all the evil people in the world realize that peace is good? Or am i wrong...

Sadly, Kanon Kid, there are quite a few grammar errors in your post! Take your sentence: "If you would like to use correct grammar ( i know, because i just finished verb-direct object agreemennt) you would use FACTORS."

Technically you need to use the past simple tense in the first clause: 'If you wanted". i.e. if + past + conditional. It's called a second conditional. So it should look something like this: "If you wanted to use correct grammar, you would use 'factors'."

The sentence beginning " Sorry if " needs a subject in the second clause - i.e. "I just have nothing to do [...]" But technically that's a split infinitive, so "it's just that I have nothing to do" would be better.

"Took factor is not correct. took factors is." This needs a semi-colon or a hyphen, not a full-stop.

I think there's a difference between grammatical mistakes and simple typos, as in Fred's case. We all do typos on the web.

hth. It's great that you're interested in studying grammar.

Now we know you have the "eye" and know your words!
I'm sure 'Kanon kid' didn't mean it...Wait...shouldn't it be 'Canon kid'
...just kidding.

Take care,
