Nice catch though; I do blame auto correct.

Here's something I've noticed a couple times:

You know how if you say something like "it was the best thing ever" and emphasize the word "the", you pronounce it like "thee"? On the Internet, I've seen people who actually write "thee" in that context. Like they think the reason it's pronounced differently is because it's actually a different word, spelled "thee". I know a guy who consistently does this, writing Facebook statuses like "today was thee best day of the summer". Has anyone else encountered this?

They might just be trying to indicate the difference phonetically. Like if he said "theeeee best day of the summer" there would be no doubt he didn't think it was an actual separate word. Adding just the one E to do that is dumb though.

There is a barber shop here that is named Thee (something). I forgot to take a picture, but I thought of this thread and laughed. I'll get a photo next time I'm in the area.

What's up with that? I'm just wondering how many sets of eyes signed off on these shirts without asking about the offensiveness factor or the period.

You don't go to art school to learn grammar.

I have a history degree, I tried to do this and stuttered, no almost about it.

How did this turn out? I bet you got a lot of offers.

Yea or nay?

(you) do it in one of the other candidate's threads. I feel like the usage of one governs what comes after, but I learned English a long time ago.

I am too. I seem to sit on the "s" for a bit when I try it and doesn't feel too weird to me. :/

Yeah its not totally true that you cant change the order at all, but there are a lot of orderings that are obviously wrong.

There is no grammatical "rule" about the ordering of adjectives, but there are various attempts to formalize the observation of how people actually speak. Instinctively the order in every language is to start with the most subjective attributes (opinions) and move towards the most objective qualities (facts) last.

I don't know all the fancy terms but these are separating commas. It isn't bad grammar as far as I'm aware.
