Yankees was slaughtered, made my heart sank.

Ahh... another grammar nazi?

NY Yankees is ONE team.

Sank/Sunk are both past tense of Sink.

Thank you.

I'm a Yankee fan. :up:

The funny thing was all the fights I saw in the stands and the amount of obsentities I heard down to the field. Felt like home. :)
One thing that still bugs me is I haven't seen a game there yet. I visited NY when there weren't any games going on, and I just cancelled my NY trip yesterday, so I don't know when I'm going back. It's always been a dream of mine, I've been a Yankees fan for as long as I can remember. They were the first team I read about as a youth.

To be fair though, you'd have to say "the Yankees team" for that to work. You usually say "the yankees" or "the cardinals" or "the red sox" as plural.

I didn't say a word to her or about the mistakes. I was just pointing em out. Quoting a post to correct a spelling isn't considered dickly, and that's usually just a single word and an asterick.

I've never been to a Yankees vs. Red Sox game. :(
Will be going to Yankees vs. Mariners game though. It will be the only time I get to put on my NY Yankees jersey and baseball cap. :up:

Well, she called you a grammar nazi, so apparently it didn't come out as nicely as you thought.

I typed "Yankees" instead of NY Yankees coz I assumed that it was quite obvious I was talking about them as one team. Besides, it's a message board, not like I am writing an essay to be graded. Who gives a sith.

I still have nightmares about it from playing it up through high school. I can't really watch it anymore without feeling really screwed up.

Kypade do.
 
That was me yesterday wearing my pin stripes and hat. People were stopping me asking me who won the whole night though. :(

This was my first Yankee vs. Red Sox game. I always wanted to see them play. Those tickets sell out really fast. I got them from someone in my office building.

No grammar nazi. Just pointin em out.

And justify it as you will, they're both still wrong. It didn't "make your heart sank", it "made your heart sink" OR "your heart sank".

Always a good time there. I really recommend making an effort to see them. :up:

Nope. Didn't consider you a "dick". I had no problem with you pointing them out. GN is a term commonly used here and I thought it's funny.

Okay. :up:
My "heat" did not sink, btw. ;)

Can't help that. All I did was alert her to the mistakes. That isn't nazical in the least. I made no comment about the errors or her intelligence, I didn't even offer a suggestion on how to fix it. If she wants to type wrongly from now on, at least I know she knows those are errors.

Plus, I make plenty of spelling/grammar errors here.

And the Yankees, as a single team, is still plural. The Bulldogs was losers in the tournament still makes no sense, despite the fact that the Bulldogs were my highschool football team. Yknow?

You're italian, right?
By heritage, yes.
And I can speak proper English but this is a message board and as long as I am understood, I can "speak" like a ****** if I choose to. :)

I agree with you, I'm just saying you could have done it a wee bit more politely since she's not american.
