Well Taco, I think it's time for my version:

Trey's Guide to making legible sentences

Greetings class, and thanks for coming back! Today we're going to look at another trademark Barakarin "Screw Spelling and Grammar" sentence and work on a way to clean it up. Now take a look at this sentence here:

gtabs all the ones that has chiclte and ware warm and moist

Alright then, so who can find and fix the first problem? That's right, sentences start with a capital, so let's fix that first!

Gtabs all the ones that has chiclte and ware warm and moist

Next we'll fix the spelling so all the most obvious (re: stupid) errors are fixed:

Grabs all the ones that has chocolate and were warm and moist

Also, "has" is singular, but since Bara is grabbing multiple "ones" (cookies), he needs to use the word "have", right class?  Let's fix that mistake...

Grabs all the ones that have chocolate and were warm and moist

Now then, sentences have something called a "subject"; this is what the sentence is talking about, in the example the subject is "ones", not exactly very clear, is it now?

Grabs all the cookies that have chocolate and were warm and moist

Now we'll add some clarity to the "Grabs" part... we need to know who is doing the grabbing in order to organize this a lot better:

Bara grabs all the cookies that have chocolate and were warm and moist

Also, we that speak English use little things called periods.  They go at the end of sentences.  Let's try it, shall we...

Bara grabs all the cookies that have chocolate and were warm and moist.

Next...if the cookies have chocolate, then they are warm and moist.  If they had, then they were moist.  So, guess what we do now...

Bara grabs all the cookies that have chocolate and are warm and moist.

Handy little tip:

In the Taijitu forum, we typically use an asterisk (*) at the beginning and the end of sentences that involve us speaking in the third person.

So we'll (we will, not "well") fix that too:

*Bara grabs all the cookies that have chocolate and are warm and moist.*

Our new sentence is quite different, but much easier to read. Wouldn't you agree? Let's put them side by side for a comparison.

*Bara grabs all the cookies that have chocolate and are warm and moist.*

versus

gtabs all the ones that has chiclte and ware warm and moist

*bell rings* Alright, class dismissed.  We'll be back...I'm sure.

"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

You'll thank me for this later, you know.

I love you too, Bara.  Come on, keep writing like you do...Taco and I love holding sessions.

But you're so easy to antagonize...why would I want to stop?

No you're not...you're still posting 4 hours later.  Why, I suspect...just "casue".

If you took a nap then why are you tired? Besides you don't work and you live with your parents... do you really know what tired is yet? Tired from working 16 hours shift in a busy restaurant for barely enough money to pay rent/food is tired man....

I'm just glad that I've now reached the parody level of fame.  :congrats:

I'm sure he's very welcome.  Hey...whatever happened to the weeding/consummation?

Well, I don't remember any weeding taking place, but I think the brides went off on their honeymoon. I suppose we're just sitting here 'til they get back because we have nothing better to do.

And yes, I know you all thought you saw me leave, but that was actually my stunt double. What, you think I could backflip through a window myself?

I suppose the wedding didn't finish, as St. Oz didn't complete his half of the job.  So...how's the stunt double doing?
