Affect and effect.
They say:
"Huh! Typical NSC! Bloody clique ganging up on someone just because they have a different view and aren't afraid to say it. Your all bloody sheep just blindly following Dick Tight. I thought this was a message forum not just some on-line wankathon where a load of keyboard warriors get off on winding people up. Your all a bunch of wankers!"
They mean:
"Yeah, ok; I lost that argument."
NOTE: Deliberate misuse of 'your' instead of 'you're' thus prompting several more gleeful posts from the victors.

Actually, there is one error - there is no such word as 'Im'.Tesco in Disguise said:
You can have the abbrviated ''im', the vernacular (though not a strictly correct contraction) of 'him', or you can have 'IM', which is an acronym of 'Instant Messaging', but because they're initials, they need to be capped up.
Your post actually contains four grammatical errors. Or rather, it contains one grammatical error repeated three times.

So where'd you get the four from? Surely one mistake repeated three times is still only three?
I except it might be my stupidity though...

He didn't have any capital letters in his post - four times. So he made one error, and then repeated it a further three times.Garry Nelson's Left Foot said:So where'd you get the four from? Surely one mistake repeated three times is still only three?

Anyway, is it etiquette to write in lower case? Why would that be? Can't say I've never heard that before.
